Ah hell, not a Wildfire

Please tell me that you haven't updated it to 2.2 yet? If you have then it's currently just about the only unrootable phone out there. If it's still on 2.1 then you can use unrEVOked to do it for you.

Edit: of course you have 2.2, hence the apps on SD question, d'oh.

Does anyone know if there is a way to move all apps from phone memory to sd card?

I have moved some but it doesn't give me the option to move others or is this down to the makers of the app?

Try using the SDmove app. It tells you which ones are safe to move and which ones need to stay on the internal storage. And then moves the safe ones for you.

Thanks I will download that now

Rusty!

You can still do the ADB method though as it does not require root.

Thank you!

I don't suppose you know if there is a way to stop the phone from taking screenshots and capturing pictures of things that I don't want?

For example one of the HTC pieces of software is saving 100+ pictures onto my SD card a week!

Rusty!

That is quite odd, mostly because there is no built in screen capture!

Thats what i thought! However its not only mine that does it I know of another person whose HTC does the same! I get things like these:





ETA:

Just plugged the phone into the laptop, there are 55 images in the folder .htcnews they are of random people, laptops, logos, phones and such like!

I also have a folder named .bookmark_thumb1 which contains 28 screenshots of facebook, mse and a couple of other websites too.

Then in the foursquare cache folder i have 34 images including logos they use within the app and then the profile pictures of myself and friends of mine that use the app.

A . infront of a folder name means it is hidden from the normal file system and usually contains system files which you shouldn't need to touch or view at all

.htcnews will be either category logos or cached images from a news app.

.bookmark_thumb will presumably be thumbnails for bookmarks in the browser.

The foursquare cache folder is doing what it should be doing, saving regularly used images to prevent it having to download them each time.
