Samsung S2 installs app in device memory instead of USB storage - samsung-mobile

I am trying to check in the internet the answer for this but I find it really hard to get the answer.
My samsung s2 storage details are:
Device memory - 1.97GB
USB storage - 11.49GB
I don't have SD card
I am wondering, everytime I download an app, it's being installed in the device memory. If I download a few apps, my phone started to complain of no more space. I really cannot understand why S2 automatically used Device memory for downloaded apps. Also, I cannot even move the installed app to USB storage.
Please advise.

To free up memory on the S2, dial *#9900#. This will bring up a menu. Select the second option "Delete Dumpstat/logcat". This will free up a lot of Device Memory.
Apps are always installed on Device Memory first. With my phone, I can move installed apps to sd card by going to Settings -> Application Manager, selecting an app and then chossing move to sd card. A 4gb SD card is only a few dollars so might be worth it? If you root your phone, you can set the size of the different memories. But rooting will void your warranty most likely.

Windows 10 IoT Core flashed SD card corrupted

I was having troubles with my RPI running IoT Core, so when I checked the SD card I noticed its size was a mere 63 MB. How can I fix this?
The flashing process for W10 IoT Core will partition the drive (SD card) making the actual OS partition invisible in an explorer.
To restore the SD card run the following commands:
diskpart
list disk
select disk [SD CARD DISK NUMBER]
clean
create partition primary
format fs=ntfs quick
Bottom line is that the issues you were having were not related to this SD cards state. There are certain types of SD cards that could cause issues, especially when they are slow.

storage location of whatsapp data in android sets

I am using samsung s3 mini hanset. I am a part of many whatsapp groups. Usually I am receiving many messages containing images and videos from these groups. When I open my whatsapp account these images and videos are automatically downloaded to my device memory and hence it becomes always hanged due insufficient memory space. I want to set the sd card as memory location for these whatsapp downloading data. Could you please help me?
From WhatsApp FAQ site:
How do I move WhatsApp to the microSD card?
Moving WhatsApp to your memory card (microSD card) is not possible at
this time.
We are working on improving our application size and memory
utilization. There are technical hurdles that do not allow us to move
our application to the microSD card. In the meantime, we recommend
that you help make room for WhatsApp by moving as many other
applications and media files as you can, to your microSD card.

Identify a Nokia X device from within an app

I am porting an app which is already on Google Play to Nokia X. I removed all unnecessary resources to keep the installation file small. I want to prevent users from using the app on other devices and having a bad experience since the resources for higher density (xhdpi) or bigger screens (tablets) are no longer available.
Currently, I don't have access to a real device, and the code below only produces "unknown" as the manufacturer on the Nokia X device emulator.
My Question: What is the manufacturer of all three Nokia X devices, or is there a better method for identifying such a device?
if (!"nokia".equalsIgnoreCase(android.os.Build.MANUFACTURER)) {
// do something
}
The android.os.Build.MANUFACTURER is "Nokia" in all three announced Nokia X devices, so your code is correct.
Barring physical access to a device, I still recommend double checking your logic with a Nokia X device in Remote Device Access: http://developer.nokia.com/resources/remote-device-access
As pointed before by viviaino, the device manufacturer is "unkown" when running over a Nokia X emulator(AVD), it is needed to run a remote device or real Nokia X device to check the current manufacturer.

SD card images on phone not showing on PC

Newly added images on SD card from phone are not showing on PC when the SD card is accessed in USB Mass Storage Mode.
However if the card is removed from phone and reinserted, the images are seen on PC (SD card connected as USB Mass Storage).
Secondly when images are not seen on PC, if the same Card is accessed from a Card Reader the missing images are present on the SD card.
Does this mean it is a USB Mass Storage problem on the phone?
Well finally, the root cause of this issue was figured out. The problem was that linux maintains a cache when the phone is in mass storage mode (MSM). Every time the phone is connected in MSM it insmods the drivers on insertion and rmmods on removal. But linux does not drop the caches after the driver is rmmod'd. Hence the following fix solved the issue:
sync;
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches;
insmod driver.ko;
The second command drops the caches before the driver is inserted.

cuda on integrated gpu + external device

I have a dell desktop pc which has an integrated gpu.
If I add one more gpu over PCIe will I be able to run cuda? Probably yes.
The integrated gpu has its own driver (i915) and I am not sure what will happen with nvidia driver (for the second gpu) alongside.
Is there a special procedure, something to take into account?
edit: forgot to mention that OS is Ubuntu 11.10. sorry
Thanks in advance
UPDATE:
finally there is a problem. I just put the video card gtx 460. I want to have the display on integrated card so as to use the "good" card dedicated to computing. but if i dont plug the monitor cable to gtx I get the following message
System halted! Attention: Unsupported Video Configuration Detected
Action is Required
This computer has an add-in graphics card, but the monitor is plugged
into the integrated video connector. To attach the monitor cable to
the add-in graphics card:
Shut down the computer
Plug the monitor cable into the add-in graphics card connector. This may require a video adapter or video adapter cable. (provided
with the system)
Turn on the computer.
This message should not appear after completing these steps. For more
information or help, please refer to the system documentation.
Please help.
CUDA only supports NVidia GPUs so it won't even see the embedded intel one.
The CUDA startup functions also return the type and capabilities of all the CUDA devices found so you can pick which device to run a task on.
ps. You might want to manually set the app to 'use enhanced/performance graphics' in windows explorer->properties - we have had issues in laptops with Intel+Nvidia optima systems where the app doesn't see the Nvidia GPU by default for some reason
