I'm tired of having only 380 MBs to work with. Can anyone find out when they'll release a newer gaming phone (or Playstation-certified phone) with bigger storage space? _{(Apparently I can't Google hard enough.)}

Or if it won't be Sony, who will release the next phone that's closest to being a gaming phone?

In what physical form is the 380 MB internal memory, and even if I have to void a warranty by opening the phone, is there a way to swap that out anyhow for something far bigger?

Also, what are the best, most compressive, data-compression apps out there? (They must transfer to SD card or else it won't download due to insufficient space.) --70.179.170.114 (talk) 08:48, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I can't speak for the Xperia Play, but many Android phones can be hacked to store stuff on a special partition on external storage/SD card for the main data storage partition. Most phones should be able to support at least a 32GB microSD (i.e. maximum for microSDHC). In fact altho many devices advertise 32GB max, I personally suspect in reality most probably support a larger microSD (i.e. microSDXC), they may not support exFAT so you will need to manually format but you'll need that if using the external storage anyway, and you probably want to partition it as some things tend to require external storage which you won't have if the SD has a single partition dedicated to internal storage. However it will also depend on what partition format the Xperia uses for its internal storage as some have their own limitations. Of course if you do this, removing or replacing the SD card (without copying the partition over to any new SD card before you start your phone) is likely a bad idea. Edit: [1] [2] [3] [4] suggest it is possible on the Xperia Play. Nil Einne (talk) 09:04, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I had a notification just the other day that two text messages were rejected due to insufficient memory. First, how do I get texts to transfer to SD card right as soon as they arrive? (Not by manually doing so; it only copies and transfers; not cuts and transfers, anyway.)

Second, I have no known way of seeing who sent the two texts that got bounced. How do I find this out anyhow? I use GO SMS Pro to text, if that helps you at all. --70.179.170.114 (talk) 08:48, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What about making some space for new messages? Or using some kind of VoiP SMS solution is you get lots of SMSs. OsmanRF34 (talk) 15:07, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why are most server-side programming languages based on the imperative paradigm? Are there significant ones based on the functional paradigm? Now even Java has Clojure. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.255.1.150 (talk • contribs)

That’s probably going to be hard to answer perfectly, but my guess is that in the beginning imperative programming simply made more sense to us silly humans who wanted to give things commands (imperative comes from the Latin for "to command"), and now it has a significant head start. ¦ Reisio (talk) 19:10, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you have several started torrents, some of them started with magnet links, others with torrent files which were deleted, how do you copy them to another installation on a different computer? OsmanRF34 (talk) 14:48, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Likely ~/.config/transmission/. ¦ Reisio (talk) 03:55, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have Transmission to hand, but I can tell you how to strace it, which should allow you to figure this kind of thing out for yourself. Assuming the binary for it is just called transmission, at the command line do

   strace -o logfile -f -e open transmission

Then let it run for a few seconds and kill it. logfile will contain a list of all the files it opened (or tried to open), most of which will be irrelevant to your question, but surely some will tell you what you need to know. -- Finlay McWalterჷTalk 16:00, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I was wondering if anyone was familiar with μTorrent and could help me out. When I used to try to download a file — say a movie that also had bundled with it subtitle files, screenshots, extras, other docs — when I used to click on the magnet link a screen would open up with a field showing a list of the discrete files in the download. I could then uncheck the box next to each file so as to choose which to download and which not to download. However, relatively recently, this has changed. When I try to do a download I still get that screen with the field, but it's always empty and so I am forced to download all this stuff I don't need at extra bandwidth and time. I hope I've described this clearly enough. I've looked through the program's preferences, advanced options and so on and have not been able to find anywhere this is turned on and off. Any ideas?--108.54.17.117 (talk) 19:59, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You’re probably confusing magnet links and the previously more popular non-magnet links. Part of the purpose of magnet links, AIUI, is to be nothing but links (no data), so this is ordinary AFAIK. I’m not sure there’s anything for it except for clients to add support for downloading the file information and then pausing to allow you to review. ¦ Reisio (talk) 21:27, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
