What is the easiest, fastest and best way to transfer all my photos, videos, and music to the new device? For some reason everything is saved to the darn internal storage and my my SD card ??
Ever use Google Drive?

SuperBeam. Buy the pro edition, it's worth it. Can beam entire folders with it.

I installed a couple of Office Suite from Amazon Free App of the Day on my phone. I am wondering which one is the best for the Nexus 7. I can download other free alternative if it is even better. Thanks!
List of Office Suite that I have from Amazon:
OfficeSuite Professional 6
Quickoffice Pro
Documents to Go 3.0
Or should I go to a free one?
I like quick office pro, and I think I remember them being bought up by Google docs or something like that not too long ago. I can't remember I'll have to do some searching.

Kingsoft office... And it is free

I have Office Suite Pro that I got for free.... so that's my only choice.
I used Polaris on my old transformer and I liked it. There is a really good comparison between the various office apps some where online. I think someone from the Asus transformer forums did it.
Some allow you to only read and not edit. I can't see really having to edit or create documents on the go, but I guess some people do. As long as I can open them, I'm good. Since you have access to them all, won't you simply try each one and tell us what you like better?

I have always used quickoffice pro on my 10" tablet, and I installed it on my nexus 7 and it works great. I also got those three office apps from amazon, and quickoffice pro seems to be the least buggy

CloudOn is one of the best office apps I've seen, although you need to be on wifi and have a box, dropbox or Google drive account (or all 3) as it only reads from cloud storage. They match the office ui almost exactly and have support for Excel, Word, and Power Point docs. Also it only works on tablets.

QuickOffice Pro HD is great, though you'll need to pull the APK off another device, it doesn't think it works on the N7.
Which office suite would be best for a student? I'm looking at Smart Office 2. Anyone tried it? I believe its on sale now for $1.98

Quick office HD.
Think it shows not compatible in the play store, but it works fine.
You can link it to all your cloud storage accounts.
It has really advanced features that mean you can create documents as if they have been made on the PC.
I think quick office were acquired by Google not so long ago but I might be wrong on that.

I have no idea how this is free. It's as full featured as the $15 apps. There are no ads or other bloatware.
Another vote for KingSoft, It's brilliant. I paid for it when they used to charge.

I posted a thread exactly like this and the general consensus was Quick Office Pro HD. I got off Amazon since it doesn't show up in the Play store. It works awesome, integrates with Dropbox too.

When I pin files to be stored locally on the phone, I can't find them anywhere. There are 2 reasons I care.
1. Every time I flash a new rom, I have to re download the files.
2. I can't get winamp to find the files.
I tried googling it, but the only thing I could find was that it is stored on the sd card under data and play music, but the folder is empty when I check it.
Anyone with any ideas?

I actually found them. Unfortunately, the song files are named numerically so I don't know if I can just transfer them back to that directory after clearing cache. The files are stored in the root directory at:
/data/data/com.google.android.music/cache/music

Google does not let you use them other than on your phone through Google play because you can pirate the songs if they let you transfer them freely. Its copy right infringement

Check out the GMusic sniper app on the Play Store. It allows you to download your GMusic to your phone so that you don't have to redownload every time you flash a new ROM.

Hi all..
I'm seriously considering to upgrade my current RAZR to note 2, i love the specs, the feel, the usability..
However, I'm concerned on moving apps to external storage.
Can it be done? I did some search on google, some recommends gl.. But it requires root.
Is there easier way to accomplish this? It puzzles me why we can't move apps to sd card..
Anyone can tell me whether it can be done? It's the only factor holding me back from getting note 2..
Sent from my Motorola Razr XT910 on ICS 4.0
Can't do it in the note 2 without root. It's that simple. However, you do have 10.5GB of unallocated storage for apps. You won't run into problems unless, say, you're a gameloft fan or an extreme app hoarder.

U got me there.. I have 2 gameloft installed and i use a Chinese comic book reader which i have downloaded 6gb worth of comics, or rather manga.
I'm stretching my 32gb sdcard to its limits with my movies and music videos i keep on card too..
Ok.. Root it is then.. The only reason i rooted my RAZR its to enable the use of tibu.
Tibu does work fine right? Along with ota root keeper..

Look at the second entry.
It runs a script which swaps your ext with your int. So it fools your phone think it's int is 64gb.
It's perfect if you're downloading games and stuff.
What's good about it is everything you do on the phone from then on will be saved on ext. So when you're reflashing a new rom, just pop ext out and that's your backup done.

you need to root your phone to transfer apps to sd card, and if you want to transfer movies, music and pictures, you can do it without rooting your phone, is that correct? sorry for my bad english
What do you use.

For pictures use the g+upload feature and any pics under 2048*2048 are free to stir as well as videos shorter that 15 minutes. G+also has the ability to auto size then to the max free size as well.

I'm just using the direct upload to my Dropbox. If I need space, I can just delete the stored ones on the phone and use Dropbox with its own gallery. I also like the integration with windows.
My other clouds:
gDrive for titanium backups
Skydrive for easy document sharing with windows 8 and office 13
Box for anything
I find that every cloud services has its own positives and negatives, but couldn't find an aio solution which suits my needs perfectly. However... As long as it's free
Dropbox
Box
My computer (doesnt count but I like it most haha)
Box - 50GB
Dropbox - 51.1GB
SkyDrive - 25GB
Google Drive - 5GB
SugarSync - 6GB
I would suggest managing these cloud drives by using 'SanDisk Memory Zone'.

Google+ for full res photo backup. Unlimited storage
Google drive- is it 5gb? carbon backups for all devices.
Dropbox-65gb (HTC incentives) for whatever

As far as I know you need root to sync your game progress...and even then its not automatic, you have to do it manually with an app called data sync. I've downloaded the app but haven't used it yet as I just got the tablet yesterday and I'm still in the process of setting everything up.
So, to answer your question, no that feature is not available in stock android yet. Some places said that the new play games app from google would allow this, but it doesn't at the moment.

If I am not wrong, this only works with games supporting Google play service, e.g. Stickman Golf 2, Temple Run 2 etc.
