An app must explicitly support App2SD, or you cannot move it to the card. There are several reasons why an app might not support it:
using widgets (both mentioned apps seem to fall into this category. AK Notepad: "Pin notes to your home screen"; Any.DO: "You can even add our widget to your homescreen")
running a service
As the sdcard would be ...

Yes, of course they consume battery. You can go and check in Settings >> Battery how much is the app actually consuming. (It should appear something like shown the following screenshot) I think it might not consume a significant amount like other apps, but just check it and see if you are okay with the amount of battery it is consuming.
Also, if all you ...

The short answer is: no, Chrome extensions (which are packaged as .crx files as mentioned below) are not supported on Chrome for Android.
This is answered in detail by the Chrome Web Store FAQ:
Will apps work on Android?
If your app is pure HTML, CSS3, and JavaScript and is hosted on your servers there is a good chance that it will work in the ...

The battery indicator app in the first picture shown appears to be ours so I'd thought I'd respond. :-)
The ongoing notification shows because all ongoing notifications in Android currently must display a notification as shown, and because the app must always be in memory to work correctly. You do not need a custom rom to be sure the battery is not being ...

I'm sorry but your device cannot play high-res videos. Your device should be able to handle videos up to 640*360, this is the resolution of HQ YouTube.
Note that there's absolutely no point in watching HD videos on your phone. It has a screen resolution of 240 x 320. Anything above this will be scaled down to fit the screen.

Is your USB Debugging mode enabled? Go to Settings->Applications->Development, and check the "USB Debugging" mode. This will help the ADB detect your device.
You may refer to the Android Developer Documentation: Using Hardware Devices for further information and details.

The battery power such app uses is very insignificant if well made. I use such app and it never shows up in the battery usage statistics. That makes me conclude that on a full cycle of 100% to 0%, those apps will not be responsible for even 1%. If the app you use does show up, it's too intensive and you should try another.

The stock messaging app will automatically save a draft message when you tap on the back button while composing the message, but the recipient field has to be filled. Without a recipient it will give a warning that the message will be deleted.
There are a lot of good alternatives. I have no experience with them myself (I'm using the stock app) but a lot of ...

If you can enter into Recovery Mode(with Power and Volume Up buttons pressed on startup) try to restore a nandroid backup(if made) or flash a new ROM.
If you can't enter into Recovery Mode you need to reflash a stock ROM using ODIN. You need to choose the Right Stock ROM for your region. See XDA-Developers, it also contains a guide to flash these files with ...

Try MX Player from Google Play.
It can play almost all the video formats in my Samsung Galaxy Y Duos. Review

I'd check with the operator, and see if they root their phones by default (it's a perfectly valid thing to do, it's just that the big operators tend to be control freaks). If they don't know what you are talking about, worry and ask them for help figuring out what's going on.
I'd also go into SuperUser and check it's preferences. Since you don't know how it ...

The Samsung Galaxy Y is a low spec phone and most importantly this can be observed with its display.
Some common models in comparison (by resolution, pixel per inch, screen size, price):
Galaxy Y: 240x320, 132 PPI, 3.0in, 110EUR
Galaxy Ace: 320x480, 165 PPI, 3.5in, 190EUR
Galaxy Nexus: 720x1280, 316 PPI, 4.65in, 410EUR
The text is blurry because there ...

Here they say, installing Samsung Kies should solve the problem.
I haven't tried it yet, but it is available on Samsung's official website for their various phone models.

Go to Settings -> Call settings -> Additional settings and find Call Waiting option (its may be in different address in android 2.3).
Enable Call Waiting it if is not already. If it was already enabled, but you never here beeps or receive notifications when another call happens, I think you should check with or consult your operator.

This error comes normally for two reason.
You have a corrupted .zip so you should try re-downloading.
You have an unsupported recovery.
According to your ROM's requirements, You must have stock kernal. Most of the time while rooting, we flash a different kernal. So you may have to flash your stock kernal back again.
And also you must have a CWM ...

As was said - this cannot be done. I am just putting this in an answer form...
The reason being is that screenshots work by converting what is on the screen to an image - what is on the screen is pulled directly from the hardware.
Obviously, the screen doesn't know what is going to be displayed, a bit like we don't know exactly what is going to happen ...

This functionality isn't available as standard in your default launcher, but the launcher is replaceable. There are lots of alternatives out there, some require a minimum OS version. Unless you've rooted your phone it looks like the maximum OS version you can be on is v2.3.5 (Source: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_y_s5360-4117.php). So this rules ...

The Galaxy Y GT-S5360 simply does not have backlighting for its capacitive buttons (source 1, source 2) whereas the Ace does - there is nothing you can do.
