How to Increase Internal Memory Space in Any Android phone – Without Rooting your Phone.



Although there is no risk involved in this Process, this gives you opportunity to Move Applications between Your Internal Memory and Memory card (SD Card).But make sure you don’t move the Applications which use Widgets to the SD Card because they Widgets will stop working when you Plug in to your PC and Use the Phone in Mass Storage Mode. (The SD Card will the Disconnected from the Phone). Just use your Common Sense and you are done.
You will have to do some Command Prompt stuff now, but don’t worry;it’s very simple and easy.

Step 1: Install JDK and then Install Android SDK. (Just Google for them, they are freeware)
After Installing run Android SDK Manager.
Select Android SDK Platform Tools (Uncheck anything else) and Click Install 1 Package.

Step 2: Enable USB Debugging in your Phone in Settings > Applications > Development.

Step 3:
Type cmd in  start menu and when cmd.exe shows up in search results, right click it and select "Run as Administrator".

Go to Platform tools folderfolder “C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools” by typing the following in the command prompt:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools

Then Type:
adb devices
You’ll find that your phone or Device will be Listed. (NOTE : All Commands are case sensitive.)
Then type:
adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2
 Now, your Default Installation Directory will be Your SD Card.
If you want to Change back to default then type:
adb shell pm setInstallLocation 0
You can find the current status by typing:
adb shell pm getInstallLocation

That’s it. Now you’ll be able to move certain(Not all) Applications which you were not able to move previously. I tried this in a Motorola Fire XT and it saved me around 20 MB in space. Enjoy!

How to measure exact power consumption ( in watts) of a device in your house

This works only if you have a digital energy meter. Switch off all appliances in your house, except the device whose energy consumption is to be measured. Now go to the energy meter and usually there is a single white button which toggles between a variety of display functions like Voltage, amps, watts etc. Press the button continuously until you see the Watts information. Some energy meters will only display energy consumed in kW. So if you see .04 kW, that means the device is taking 40 watts, Note that kWh is different from kW. Say if you have a fan that consumes 40W. If you run the fan for one hour, your energy in kWh will be 40/1000 (conversion to kW - divide by thousand) *1 hour = .04 kWh. If you run the fan for 10 hours then 40/1000 * 10 = .4 kWh Usually, 1 kWh = 1 unit of electrical energy. So if you have a device which runs in lower Wattage, you can run it for longer hours for the same amount of kWh consumed. Thus saving on bills.
