[Q] Internal memory and contacts

Hi,
2 question if anyone doesn't mind anwsering.
As I understand the DHD has 1.5GB of internal memory. I'm runing ARHD 3.3 with no extra apps isntalled and my availible space is only 0.93GB. Where did 1/3 go? When I was running stock I think I remember having about 1.3GB
Second, it is very anoying seeing all those facebook contacts clutering people I actually know, and I actually can't seem to figure out how to remove them!!
Thanks for anwsering!

Maybe the ROM was token that memory. And for facebook contacts just go people-menu-view, and check what you need.

do you want to remove all the facebook contacts or just a few?
you can remove the data and re sync with facebook for htc sense to just sync cntacts
to do this you go to application manager and choose all
scroll down to facebook for htc sense then clear data
open facbook app and re sync

Storage issue:
It is possible that you have back-up, say, your stock ROM and that takes up the space of your internal storage. If you delete the back-up at ROM Manager itself or any file explorer you will notice that the storage will be freed once again. [Think carefully before you delete them, you may want to keep the stock ROM if whatever purpose in future(if any). Lol.]
Facebook contact issue:
Facebook contact you can remove them by signing out from Facebook and then sign in again, and you may wish to "Don't Sync" them. As a result those contact in your Facebook account will not appear in People app.
Cheers. =)

Huge thanks! Everyone!
Yes I had 3 backups! Guess that was what was hogging my internal.
Facebook fix worked
Got another issue today, lol
I reflashed another ROM today and as soon as I logged into my Google and Sense account it reinstalled (restored) about 30 apps from my old ROM, which I don't want . I uninstalled them all, but when I went into Android Market they were still under "installed" and again I can't figure out how to remove them. Now everytime I try to flash a new ROM and sign in with my account it restores all those apps. Not signing into my account works though. How do I remove them, when I flash a new ROM I want it to be fresh, not cluttered with stuff (Kinda like fresh Windows install )
Any thoughts?

Did you do a full wipe when installing the ROM? It shouldn't reinstall the apps then, although any paid for apps will appear in your market by default but not installed.

Yes, I did a full wipe
Even when uninstalling them, they still appear as "installed" in market.

I still haven't been able to figure this out.
Every time I reinstall a ROM/Reset phone and sign in with my account it reloads 30 apps for whatever reason.
I've tried with another Google account (or w/o signing in) and those damn apps didn't install then.
Uninstalling apps doesn't even put them of the "my apps" list.
I somewhat suspect Titanium backup is causing these issues. Under settings I checked "remove market entry" in freezer and un-installer settings, and it still loads those apps. I also tried completly formating my SD card.
Any thoughts, guides,... whatever

The applications are installed because Android Market uses your google account to identify you and keeps a list of apps that you have installed. (Go to Android Market, login with your google account, choose "My Market Account" on the top of the page) This is to help users restoring their apps after an update. The list isn't always up to date though.
To avoid installing the apps after flashing a new rom, skip adding your google account until you go to Settings -> Privacy and uncheck Automatic restore. This should do the trick.

And the uninstalled apps will disappear from My apps in the market after a while.

What backup u deleted and how u deleted that backup,do u checked available internal memory after deleting back up.pls reply i am having same problem

[Q] Titanium Backup can't connect to Dropbox

Hi people. Hope somebody can help with this.
I've recently opened a Dropbox account and want to sync my Titanium backups to it. When I hit the 'Sync to Dropbox now!' button in TB I get a message asking me to login or register - I choose Login. A Dropbox screen then appears saying 'Titanium Backup PRO wants access to your Dropbox'. I hit 'Allow'. The TB screen then returns with a message saying 'Sorry, failed to obtain Dropbox access'. What's going on?
TB version is 4.7.2; BusyBox 1.18.4. Dropbox is on the phone (although TB says it doesn't have to be). Don't know if it matters, but the phone is an Arc with global generic firmware .42 on 2.3.4. I'm trying to connect via wifi.
Thanks ...

Username and password is correct?

Your best bet is to email the developer of the app.

Solved - apparently all I needed to do was try again the next day!
It took a while and maybe three/four attempts (timeouts?), but from other postings I've seen I expect future syncs will be much faster.

Using Titanium Backup

Hey everyone,
I've spend about 3 hours researching these forums and tinkering tonight and I'm at wits end. Help would be appreciated. I am trying to get all of my phone's apps onto the KF.
Here is what happened...
Preface) I used KFU 0.95 to root my phone and install Google services. I synched my Google account
A) 6.3.1 update unrooted my phone. I used KF Utility to restore root.
B) Several apps in my Google Play Store are coming up as "incompatible with this device" (were doing this before step A as well), but I want to install them on the KF.
C) I used by Android Phone and Titanium Backup Pro to sync my backups to Google Drive (which takes a long time, btw).
D) I opened Google Drive on the KF and selected files that end in .apk.gz (which is the actual app, right) one at a time - can more be selected at once?
E) Astro File Manager opens to my system/app folder, but when I go to put it in there, it says "no file selected" - so nothing gets installed on the KF.
F) It's late and I'm not sure how else to go about getting these apps to the KF.
Thanks in advance!

Download the backups from drive, and download titanium on your fire. Move the ti backups to the titanium backup>backups folder. And run restore from titanium
sent from my Nokia 5110

OK, Thanks. I have TiBu on my Fire, but when I double click on the file in Google Drive to download it, Astro File Manager comes up. When it takes me to a destination folder directly after that, and I hit "OK", AFM says "no file selected"...why would it do that?
Also, when I do my backup, it gives my a lot of files, some ending in .tar.gz, .properties, and of course the apk.gz - is this normal? Should I only try to DL the apk.gz?

I recently did a backup using TiBu from MoDaCo to an ICS ROM. There should likely be 3 files per app you are backing up (I did Dead Space). The 3 files should end with: .apk.gz, tar.gz, and .properties. I downloaded all 3. I then went into TiBu and went into Batch from the menu. Under batch, I verified the backups and then restored. Hope that helps a bit.

How did you dl them, what program/app did you use?

The full (paid) version of TiBu lets you integrate with Box/Dropbox/Google Drive, so you could use one of those. In my case, I actually just connected the KF to my PC and copied the files over and then back once I had changed ROMs. Either will work, but the files need to end up at least in the Titanium Backups folder when you're ready to restore (I think, there may be a way to change backup locations in TiBu settings, I just haven't messed with it).

I have the paid version. I'm still trying how to get this stuff from Google Drive and onto the Kindle. What folders did you use to move the files? Do you have to move all three or just the .apk?

You have to move all 3 files for TB to load them up for restore. Sdcard/titaniumbackup/files go here

So, I just need to run a "batch", "restore" and they will be functioning?

Assuming they show up you can batch restore, or restore app or app+ data per app from the bottom of the list in the backup restore tab.
Restoring apps + data across different roms is not generally a good idea, I usually do app only. Certain apps I do data restore, and I'm always watching for issues caused by it.

Is this the easiest way to get the apps that are listed as "incompatible with this device" added to a rooted 6.3.1 KF? It seems really complicated and time consuming.

For that you can side load an apk file and run it from any file manager, it'll install aside from any app specific problems. Side load is basically sourcing the app apk you want, plopping it somewhere on the device then installing it. I'll leave how to get those apps up to you and google.
Should keep in mind, it says incompatible for a reason, it may just not work on any given rom/device.

Can't log into Google from HTC 10

Hi, a few weeks ago I tried to get a new app so went to my Google Play account and it wouldn't let me open it, kept asking me to log in. Anyway I eventually left it as it was driving me nuts but since then none of my apps will update and none of my Google accounts will backup, the most important one being my photos. I can't use Google to seach either. I can log in to my account on all other devices just not my phone. I also tried to connect my phone to my laptop to backup my photos as I'm thinking I'm going to have to do a hard reset but all my older photos were showing but not the newer ones that I have taken and you can view on my phone.
Can anyone help as this is driving me crazy.
Thanks

I've tried this and it didn't help but thanks

What are you using to view your files? A file explorer or HTC Sync Manager? I would use the former.
If that doesn't show all your stuff, then I would use TWRP to backup everything or to copy files onto an external SD card and then plug that into the computer to copy everything before running an RUU and resetting everything, which is what I would do.

Can't sync TiBu from Google Drive to Pixel 2 XL

All:
Just updated to a custom ROM and did a user app backup using Titanium that I synced across to Google Drive. Now that I've completed the ROM installation, I'd like to retrieve my user apps. I can see the files on Google Drive, but TiBu is not behaving properly when I select the 'Sync to Google Drive' schedule.
I notice that it is prompting me each time that I select the option to Login to Google Drive, which is not typical behavior, but I'm not getting an error/warning either. I'm going to remove and re-install TiBu to see if that helps. Has anyone seen anything like this? Running latest version of Nitrogen ROM and ElemX kernel.

I might just be too lazy to figure it out...
But, I have never been able to restore from Google Drive.
Nor has a sync function ever worked in any direction except from devce to the cloud.
Whenever I performed a restore of the type you are referring to I always DL'd my TiBU folder from drive to my phone locally.
Then restored.

I started using swift backup and it's been outstanding!! The pro version was 6 bucks and worth every cent.
It works flawlessly with Google drive too. There is a free version available too.

Thanks for your reply. I finally got it to work with another ROM, not sure if the issue was ROM related or possibly tighter security from Google. I've never had a problem with syncing back from the cloud, although I'll admit that it is a bit non-intuitive when using it.
