This is probarly a stupid question, but how do i transfer data like apps and pics between my 2 units?. The bluetooth connection fails on both. The dont find eachother.
Thanks in advance
"Wi-Fi Direct"? Never tried it but it sounds like it'll work
Go to Settings > Wireless and Networks > more then switch wifi direct on
Apps - download them from the Play Store
App data - can't be done
Photos - Copy to PC, then to 2nd device
Did you make each device discoverable?
Try transfering files via PC?
I use Dropbox as a way of sharing files between my One X and my Prime. Works pretty well for the most part.
Could use Google Drive I suppose...not tried it yet myself

drop box would be better then get dropsync to copy the files from could to your device so no need to download them one by one.

But seeing as we have Android handsets we should be using Google's services!!!
Many thanks for all your help in here...this forum is amazing
I would try to connect via wifi then the One X is finish from charging. Would also try out dropbox.

Thanks i tryed that it works good
I recommend Foldersync, it can handle multiple cloud a/c and can customize sync behavior(one way or 2-way sync) for each folder.

es file explorer? copy the files from device 1 to pc, copy the files from pc to device 2
just need a shared folder and wifi
or use the datacable and mount both devices as disk drives
works best if you're moving gb amount of data, otherwise dropbox

That depends on the app. Plenty of apps offer the ability to export / import app data, and you can easily transfer via Bluetooth. (Don't have the Prime, but bluetooth connection and even internet sharing works between my phone and TF101.)
For some reason I keep getting a warning from watchdog lite that Android Media process is using 20.3% cpu and Android keyboard is using 20% cpu. Please help.
Bump
This is generally caused by media becoming corrupted. Browse through any photos or videos you have and see if anything appears that way. Might be pixelated or picture may be all black. Delete any corrupted pictures and see if that corrects the problem.
Also, if possible post a logcat. This well help better to determine the cause of the keyboard as well as if the above doesn't correct the first part of your problem.

I have deleted all photos in the gallery yet it still uses a lot of CPU. How do you post a logcat?
As far as the media problem try this:
1. Go to Settings > Apps > All
2. Locate and select "Media Storage"
3. Select Force Close
4. Select Clear Data
5. Repeat Steps 1-4 for the app: Android Keyboard (AOSP)
6. Reboot your phone
Note: The above clears settings for the keyboard. If you have modified these settings, go back to Settings > Language and Input to re-modify those settings back to how you like after performing the above steps.
You'll notice some high CPU for these processes while they rebuild their databases, but after a while you should see them go down to normal usage.
What this does is clears the database for your media. When Media Storage encounters something corrupt it tries to endlessly rebuild the database. Since you cleared your media, let it rebuild the database from scratch and hopefully it won't encounter any issues.
how to install and save logcats:
---------------------------------
Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jtb.alogcat&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
Installing this is a little tricky. You will need a root explorer or you won't be able to see logs. Steps below:
1. Install from play store
2. Open root explorer and browse to your system root (not ur SD card, but actual system root.)
3.) go to /data/app and cut org.jtb.alogcat-1.apk
4.) go back to system root and now browse to: /system/app
5.) paste the file.
6.) set permissions to 0644 (-rw-r--r--)
7.) restart your phone.
Note: make sure you move or cut the file so that you don't have duplicate apps. If you do happen to copy, go back to /data/app after you have it copied and delete the original.
This app has to be a system app to function in 4.2.x android systems. The above process converts it to a system app.
Open alogcat from your appdrawer and press menu.
Select save. should save to your internal storage under alogcat/whateveryourlognameis.txt
Upload your logcat here and I'll review it.

any app installed in your device is in the all section unless you uninstalled something..
You may have disabled it in error. Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the "all" list and if its there, click on it and select enable. (also clear cache and data) and reboot the device.

No. The problem is probably that you have some files your media scanner doesn't like and it hangs. Usually a format fixes this, unless you can find the file causing the issue.
I'm sure bwolf is probably correct but I've used rescan media when using certain ROMs ported from Verizon and it worked for me. It stops the media scanner and quickly scans. I don't believe I have any bad files so it may be a different problem altogether but maybe it is worth a try. I can't remember but I think its free.

Wasn't suggesting not to try it. Actually, the OP should definitely give it a try before formatting.
Sorry bwolf didn't mean to imply anything. Actually a full wipe of the internal SD cleared up other issues I've had with some ports and could've helped with the media scanner too but I never checked that part specifically.. If you decide to try a wipe, OP, don't forget to back up all your pics and vids if they are on internal SD and also copy any nandroid backups you want and titanium back up folder to external SD. You can then restore apps using TB from there. Just change folder location in prefrences. If you restore a nandroid backup it could also restore any issues.

Did not work. I pressed "Disable media scanner" and 3 minutes after that watchdog lite warns me that android media process is hogging CPU.
Remove all files from your sd card and then format it. It's also completely normal for media scanner service to run anytime you use it, especially during initial boot. I always stop the process after a boot, otherwise it'll run for 5-10 minutes nonstop and keep my cpu at max. It is suppose to stop eventually though.

My phone acting weird. Once it moved on it's own. don't think im getting all the calls. Like it's been filtered or something.Use 2 anti vireses programs. Maybe im being paranoid or something. Maybe it's all in my head. Ohh and my ringtones changed like for example for facebook it just does a ring instead of the normal ringtone.. Maybe cuz i download a hole lot of apps.made it change the settings.

Anti Viruses an android willo only slow down your device... youdont need an anti-viruses.
If you download some cracked apk or apps that arent form that play store, these app can modify your phone.
For the phone calls that you are not getting all of them, its kind of wierd.
If i where you, i would factory reset my my phone.
Are you on Android 4.3?
If yes here's how to do a factory Reset:
Go into settings > Accounts (Tabs) > Backup and reset and click on Factory Data Reset.
*** WARNING ***
THIS PROCEDURE WILL DELETE EVERY DATA ON YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE ON YOUR PHONE (your SD Card Data will not be Deleted)
So make shure that you do a backup of your data before doing that.
And wait till its done
And now it should work!

I don't agree about not needing an antivirus, but you certainly don't need two of them. I do agree that the best way to fix your phone is by doing a factory reset. And like what was said, it will delete all of the storage on your phone, so make sure you backup anything you want to save before proceeding.
You can use an app such as MyBackup from the playstore to backup most of your information. Just remember to move or copy the folder called "reware" off of your phone into a safe place (like your computer) after the backup, if you choose to use that app.

anti-viruse or not... i think its a personal choice... personnally, i know what files that are on my phone, i know files that i download. So, for me its not userfull. AND BEFORE INSTALLING ANY APPS I READ THE APP ACESS: this app will get acess to... : Anti-Virus on android are not very userfull for me exept to slow down my phone. But if you are the person who download random stuff and install random apps for shure that you need an anti-virus But still, its a personnal choice. But if you want to MAKE SURE at 100% that your phone is safe you could install an antivirus (avast is the best one on the market!!)

Agreed. Two antivirus is definitely over kill...both on practicality and on the battery. Unlike Windows, some basic attention to what you are downloading and installing along with paying attention to permissions will protect you more than any app. If you are paranoid, one antivirus is enough.
And factory reset is probably the only way to fix the issue as already stated. Sometimes starting fresh is the only way to fix issues...even on android.

Am I missing something? or is there no preinstalled File Manager?
Preinstalled apps, and google apps are the only apps allowed to write/edit to the miceSD card, so why wouldn't HTC install one?
Already regretting getting this phone, since I download a Lot of work files via my phone, and now I'm unable to move them from the downloads folder to the proper folder on the microSD.
Just downloaded one from Google play, loads to choose from.

Well I tried it, but that app, just like all the other ones on the play store do not let you move files from the phone memory to the microSD.
It won't let you Delete anything either...
All you can do is view the microSD. No writes can be made to it.

Yes the files on the microSD can be altered via the PC. But apps like airDroid won't work anymore.
Working all the go, I don't have time to stop to plug the phone up to the computer every time I need to move/rename/delete a file.

same boat here. I copy via USB2go all the time on my Note 3, and this is crippled for the M8. There's a work around, but you need to unlock the boot loader first, which for me is a pain, since it will reset the phone. I'm pretty OCD and it takes me some time to set everything up the way I like it. At this point, i'm just doing the PC transfer thing.

Google Drive saves any downloaded files to the internal memory, under the download folder. And there is no way to change where its saved to (that I know of)
It was just a poor choice of Google to disallow 3rd Party Apps from emaking changes to the external memory. They should have atleast
Made it a requirement for the manufacturer to include a file manager. Or Google them self should have. I understand they trying to push people to use Google Drive, but until data usage is free I won't used Google Drive to save nothing more than Google docs.

A google backed file manager with full write permissions would be awesome, but that would be going against what they are trying to accomplish.
Few questions regarding that app. I have an old OP6 and just got OP11 and used Google copy content from the old phone but that process simply will install the same apps on a new phone but will not copy over those apps' settings and data.
My question is if the Clone Phone app will copy those settings and app data or not? Also, can I clone only selected apps something similar to clone using the Titanium Backup app?
The oneplus clone app Copy only the apks not the app setings or app data
What the clone app can copy is the phone settings

Thanks for the prompt response. So simple it is almost redundant app compare with the initial copying process when the phone is set up for the first time.

This feature was never meant to clone app with settings in the first place so you could move apps from phone to phone.
For this you have Titanium Backup, Swift Backup etc.
Thanks for the clarification. I see that Swift Backup is currently the way to go.

Oneplus had their own stock transfer tools from one phone to another - maybe this will move your apps with data/settings included.
Cant remember the name because I disabled most of them by they should be included in the initial phone set up wizard or as a bundled app or avaiable from the Google Playstore from Oneplus.
Clone App is mostly for cloning apps like Whatsapp etc.
It does clone data but is very limited, meaning only compatible with a few apps like whatsapp. You will be informed before starting which data can be cloned which can't.
It is still useful in some ways, at least it is very fast (make use of wifi to wifi transfer)
