Mar 26	comment	How can I share my files from mobile device to PC through wireless router? I'll edit my answer then, thanks for the testing.
Mar 26	comment	How can I share my files from mobile device to PC through wireless router? Really? None of mine respond to a ping - I was under the impression it had been left out, like a lot of other services. Is yours rooted with BusyBox? It might be coming from that.

Feb 28	comment	What is the difference between system memory and internal storage? @forums: the problem with XDA forum guides is that they are often geared at a higher level than the average noob, and assume background knowledge that might not be present. I'm no noob, and I've found them confusing myself. Plus there's often multiple guides posted, with different methods, and no way to discern which is the best/correct method between them for a more naive user.
Feb 18	answered	Internal memory decreased even if no apps is installed
Feb 14	comment	What is the difference between system memory and internal storage? Ah. There is an app called App2SD, which is what I assume you were referring to. I don't think I've ever seen anyone use that term for Android's built in app manager's feature before.
Feb 14	comment	What is the difference between system memory and internal storage? Ryan is correct - I've done something similar on my old G1 to increase system memory enough to install Froyo, and it is not a simple task even for an experienced user.
Feb 14	comment	What is the difference between system memory and internal storage? @Izzy: that could easily break the app, though. Most modern versions of Android (Froyo on up) automatically install on SD card unless the app has to be installed in system memory.

Feb 14	answered	Why do some applications have `Move to SD card` button disabled?
Feb 14	comment	Why do some applications have `Move to SD card` button disabled? @geffchang: actually, the thread you pointed out as a dupe DOES have the answer as to why. Not quite a dupe, either, as in that question all the apps were forced to internal.
Feb 5	comment	Prerequisites of Installing New Launcher You can switch back and forth between them. Android should ask you every time which you want to use, until you set a preference permanently. Even then, you can go into the settings and switch it back (or just uninstall the downloaded launcher).
Jan 18	comment	How can I reset my phone without losing everything? You should post the relevant content of the article in case of link rot, rather than just the link
Jan 12	comment	How can I make direct phone-to-phone VoIP calls without Internet (on LAN or Wi-Fi)? BOTH links are peer to peer solutions, though the second one does make use of any local wireless LAN (which doesn't require an internet connection. And you can use SIP without a third party - it's just a protocol, like TCP/IP.
