The amount of storage memory is sometimes not enough to store important applications, necessary files, music tracks, photos, videos, games that the user needs. An excellent solution to this issue is the ability to expand the storage capacity using microSD cards.

Modern manufacturers offer users devices that support up to two terabytes of storage memory. This is an excellent opportunity to save all important information consumer, but at the same time, another problem arises. All the necessary applications that the user wishes to save are automatically loaded into the internal memory. And it is impossible to expand it. To help you resolve this issue, we have prepared detailed instructions How to make sure that everything you need is saved automatically to the memory card. We want to offer you several options for solving this problem, starting with budget gadgets with 4-8 gigabytes of memory, ending with models with latest versions operating system Android.

Saving applications to a memory card using standard methods

Unfortunately, automatically configure the saving of games, all kinds of programs to a memory card in most modern smartphones impossible. However, this can be done manually in several steps. We suggest following our step by step instructions... To do this, you need to do the following:

1. Go to the "Settings" menu.
2. Next, find the "Applications" or "Application Manager" item there.
3. Now we need to select the application that we need to move to the memory card, for example the game "CSR Racing".
4. After the update in the window, it is important to click on the phrase "Move to SD card".
5. The inscription "Transfer to device" will mean the successful transfer of the required application on the map

Couldn't find the Move to SD Card button? Dont be upset. There is another way how to get out of this situation.

Clean Master app to move information to SD card.

If the first method is not available to you, use the new method. Repeat step by step the following steps:

All the necessary applications have moved to the memory card and freed up the memory of the smartphone itself. We recommend using the second method, especially if you need to transfer multiple applications. Thus, you can save a lot of time.

How to combine internal memory with SD card.

Android 6.0 version provides for memory expansion using a microSD card. However, this option is not available in all gadgets, since not all manufacturers considered it necessary to include this function in the shell. What should be done in this case?

How to make Android internal memory interchangeable with microSD card? (Root needed).

Another popular method for using a memory card instead of internal memory gadgets with small amounts of file storage. To customize automatic saving required applications on microSD card, you must install in advance Root app... Then follow these steps step by step:

Now all information will automatically go instead of the internal memory to the microSD card. We have presented you with several options for how you can save applications to a memory card. Your task is to pick up the best option for your gadget, depending on which operating system is there installed and is there a Root application.

Have you ever found yourself in such a situation: you need to fill out a long form with big amount fields or write an emotional and inspiring comment, and when the work is almost finished, the browser suddenly stops working or the tab is accidentally closed with open page, or the Internet connection is cut off, or the electricity is cut off? If not, then you are lucky. But no one is immune from this kind of trouble.

Imagine what a storm of emotions a user will experience when he only needs to add a couple of characters to submit a form with a large volume of manually filled fields, and suddenly all the data is lost. Terrible. Unless, of course, there is no way to recover the data to avoid the fate of Sisyphus.

Available solution options

The most common solution is to edit a long comment in a local file that is saved periodically, and copy the entire block of information after completion. Some forms support saving draft on click special button... But not all forms have such an option, and such a solution is not quite convenient. The best option has Gmail with an autosave draft option: whatever is typed in the form is automatically saved without pressing any buttons.

Another solution: Sisyphus.js

The Gmail-style autosave implementation is not entirely obvious. The solution should be simple and easy to use, which entails a requirement to avoid using manipulation on the server side.

The result is an unassuming script that saves form data to the local storage of the user's browser and restores it when the page is reopened or in a new bookmark. Data is removed from local storage when the user submits or resets the form.

How to use

Sisyphus.js is very easy to use. You need to choose a form that will work with autosave:

$ ("# form1, # form2"). sisyphus ();

Or protect all forms on the page:

$ ("form"). sisyphus ();

The following options are available:

(customKeyPrefix: "", timeout: 0, onSave: function () (), onRestore: function () (), onRelease: function () ())

This is what they are for:

• customKeyPrefix An additional key in the local storage that is used to store the values ​​of the form fields.
• timeout Interval (in seconds) between saving data. If set to 0, then saving will be performed after updating any field.
• onSave A function that is called when data is saved to local storage.
• onRestore A function that is called when restoring data from storage. Unlike the onSaveCallback function, it applies to the entire form, not a single field.
• onRelease A function that is called when the local storage is cleared of data.

Even if Sisyphus.js was used for a form, you can apply it to another form. IN this case the script will not create an additional instance and will use the same options .:

// Save form1 data every 5 seconds $ ("# form1"). Sisyphus ((timeout: 5)); … // If you need to save the data of the second form $ ("# form2"). Sisyphus ((timeout: 10)) // Now the data will be saved in both forms every 10 seconds

Option values ​​can be changed during operation:

Var sisyphus = $ ("# form1"). Sisyphus (); … // If you decide it's better to keep the data on a timer $ .sisyphus (). SetOptions ((timeout: 15)); … // Or sisyphus.setOptions ((timeout: 15));

What is needed for the plugin to work

Requirements: Sisyphus.js requires jQuery version 1.2 or higher to run.

Browser support:

• Chrome 4+,
• Firefox 3.5+,
• Opera 10.5+,
• Safari 4+,
• IE 8+,
• Also works on Android 2.2. Other mobile platforms have not been tested.

Convenient saving of form values ​​to the session in case of errors when adding information

When sending data from forms to the server, sometimes it is necessary to save the information entered by the user, then after reloading the page, restore all the values ​​of the form and show accordingly the errors that prevented the addition of data.

To do this, use several different tools.

1. The data is saved in cookies, and the next time the form is displayed, it is retrieved from there.
2. Javascript is written, which does not allow submitting the form until all the required fields are filled in.
3. The data is saved in the session.

The way of storing data in cookies is very limited by the size of the saved data and in case of working with large text it will definitely fail. In addition, cookie support can be disabled. It will only be suitable to substitute the login in the authorization field, since it is very unreliable.

Javascript is power. With the help of it, you can not only prevent data from being sent until all the fields are filled, which reduces the likelihood of data loss, but also send data without reloading the page at all, with using ajax... In this case, not only will the data not disappear from the screens, on the contrary, there is often a problem of what actions to take after sending the data in order to remove this form. This way of not losing form data is pretty reliable, but unfortunately not all browsers will understand it. For example, not all mobile phones and smartphones support javascript, and even more so ajax, so they most likely will not be lucky if they forget to fill in some field. They will swear, especially if a large text disappears. And writing it on a mobile phone is not a keyboard to type quickly. So if someone is not lucky, then only those who want to least of all this.

Sessions easily solve this problem - they are the most reliable tool you can use to save form data in the event of an upload error. But there is another problem here, namely the implementation of a mechanism that will make it easy to do this.

I have been using the method of saving data in a form for a long time, but I always did not like it because of the scale of the resulting handlers. A five-to-six-field form always came out to me in multiple code monitors. Since there are many checks, each one requires saving the error, and if some conditions are passed, this does not mean that others will be passed, but there are times when the user needs to show a group of errors for one field, plus save the data, and other fields are still waiting. The form is just as inflated, there you also need to do a bunch of checks for the existence of errors in order to show them, for the existence of stored information for each field, you need to remember to process the data from xss attacks, in general, too little pleasant. Because of all these problems, forms and handlers sometimes do not even want to write, this is such a tedious business.

But I had to write a lot of forms and each subsequent form had to be simplified. And so I simplified it until it dawned on me how to do it correctly.

You just need to bring all the actions of the same type to a common denominator, wrap each such action with a flexible shell, through which it will be convenient to apply it to any field, but so that at the same time several sequential forms having the same fields do not overwhelm each other. This is about text fields, since putting a checkbox is a trifle, but losing even a small paragraph of text is terribly unpleasant.

And I collected all the functions in one place, including them in each file.

// save the value of the field to the session
function insert_value ($ key, $ name)
{
if (isset ($ _ POST [$ name]))
{
if (! empty ($ _ POST [$ name]))
{
$ _SESSION [$ key. $ name] = $ _POST [$ name];
}
}
}

// safe representation of the value of the field
function select_value ($ key, $ name)
{
if (isset ($ _ SESSION [$ key. $ name])) return htmlspecialchars ($ _ SESSION [$ key. $ name]);
}

// clean up the session from garbage
function delete_value ($ key, $ name)
{
if (isset ($ _ SESSION [$ key. $ name])) unset ($ _ SESSION [$ key. $ name]);
}

// log errors to the session
function insert_error ($ key, $ error)
{
$ _SESSION [$ key] = $ error;
}

// show errors
function select_error ($ key)
{
if (isset ($ _ SESSION [$ key])) return $ _SESSION [$ key];
}

// clean up the session from garbage
function delete_error ($ key)
{
if (isset ($ _ SESSION [$ key])) unset ($ _ SESSION [$ key]);
}

Use it to your health!

Well, in fact, it's a shame when you develop lands, extract, extract resources, bent the enemy, seizing his territory, and - on you! What happened, and all your efforts, as they say, went to dust, and to start the game over, even give up ...

By reinstalling the app

To perform the procedure for restoring gameplay in this way on the same device or any other of the same type, we need to do a few simple steps:

Download and install the game through a Google account (the one that was used for the previous game).

Then we go through the first three levels (a stable Internet connection is required).

After that, a window will open in which you will be prompted to continue the game in order to restore progress:

How to restore progress in games on Android on the server

If we save the current state of the game directly on the server, in the Google account, then we will be able to continue the game on any device from the moment it was stopped. What do I need to do:

Log in to your Google+ account, open the "Home" tab, go to the "Play Games" application, open the menu (an icon of three dashes), go to the "My games" section, select the game, the save will be shown in the "About the application" tab.

* Note: If you continue the saved game on another device, then you need to make sure that you are in the same account, because all achievements, as well as records and results that were saved on the server, are linked to your Google account.

How to delete the progress of the game on Android on the server

To delete all information about the game process from the server, go to the Google Settings on your device, click the "Menu" icon located in the right corner of the display (it may differ depending on the gadget model), and select the "Delete application data" line.

How to save progress in games on Android (with ROOT)

Unfortunately, the previous method does not guarantee one hundred percent preservation of progress, therefore, we will consider the most popular among gamers.

To be able to use this method, the following conditions are necessary: ​​and the PRO version is obligatory, otherwise, with a saved game, the passage itself will not be saved.

Launch the Titanium Backup program, open the "Backups" tab and select the game (or any desired application) that we will backup (save), press, in the window that opens with the selected game, activate the "Save" button:

The backup process will begin immediately. I must say that it can last for quite a long time (depending on the capabilities of the device and the weight of the game itself). Upon completion of the procedure, in the "Backups" tab, you will be able to see the number of created backups (in the screenshot - 1 r.k.), the date and time of creation.

When the question arises of how to restore progress in the game on Android, open this section (backups), click on the desired game or application, and in the window that opens with possible options, select:

• "Data only" - in the case when the game itself is installed and only progress is needed.
• "Software + data" - to restore the game with all data.
• "Software only" - when you only need a game:

All in this case, backups are created on the sdcard. If the game you are interested in takes up a lot of memory, then it can be easily stored on a PC by moving it to your computer using a USB cable.

How to save and restore progress in games on Android (no ROOT)

This part of the article will focus on Helium - App Sync and Backup. This utility makes it possible to save the gameplay on a non-rooted device, therefore it is a serious competitor to Titanium Backup.

Helium setup:

Download the Helium application and install it on your Android device. The next step is to download and install the Helium Desktop App on your desktop or laptop (you can skip this step if your device is rooted). If necessary, if the ADB drivers were not installed on the PC, then we find them on the manufacturer's website, download and install.

Now you can start creating backups:

We connect our device to the computer via a USB cable, launch Helium by clicking on the application icon on the desktop. The suggestion that appears on the screen to install the program on a PC is skipped (we did it), open the menu (three vertical dots in the upper right corner of the display), select "Reservation" and in the list that appears, check the box for those applications or games that we will back up. After that, the "Reserve" button located in the lower right corner of the screen will become active, click on it. A window will open in which you will be asked to select a location for storing backups:

Then the process of data backup will begin, at the end of which a message will appear stating the completion of the procedure. What you need to do to restore copies. Launch Helium again, press the menu button and select the "Restore and sync" item:

We select the storage in which we saved the data, select the desired game (or application), put a tick, after which the "Restore" button will become active. We press, wait for the end of the process, and enjoy life:

To send a backup copy of the data to a PC, we need to open the menu, select "Download PC", after that the server will be launched, which will display the IP address. You need to copy it and place it in the address bar of your browser. At the entered address, a page with a simple and intuitive interface will open, through which you can perform a backup.

One of the first skills required in mastering a computer is the ability to store and then recall information on your PC. How to do this, tells the teacher of computer science, programmer Elena Sutotskaya.

Rice. 1. This is how the main menu of the Word editor looks like. If you left-click once on the "File" item, the information input-output commands will appear on the screen (Fig. 2).

Rice. 2. The main commands when saving a document are "Save" and "Save as ...". When the document is saved for the first time, there is no difference between them. this or that command and clicking once with the left

Rice. 3. Here the Word editor asks you to save the document in a folder in "My Documents" under the name Doc1 (or 2, 3 ...) with the doc extension. At the same time, you can see which documents with the same extension are already in the given folder. Left-clicking

Rice. 9. To save the document with all the changes and additions made since the moment of its opening, you need to click on the word "Yes". Clicking on the "No" button will return the document to its original appearance. And the "Cancel" key should be used if you

It is convenient to consider the basic rules for saving a document using the example of the Word text editor in the Windows environment (Fig. 1). For this environment, they can be considered universal, since the main menu item "File" is present in any other Windows application in almost the same form. So, having mastered saving a document in Word, you can easily do the same in any other text or graphics editor and when working with spreadsheets.

Preliminary information

Before proceeding directly to the order of saving the document, it is necessary to master some basic concepts.

Everything "collected" on the computer is stored in the form of files. A file is a named area of ​​a disk that stores information.

The file name consists of two parts - the name itself and the extension, separated by a period. Sometimes there is no extension, but usually it is from it that you can find out what type of information is in the file, since each application program assigns a certain extension to the file by default. So, "DOC" indicates that the document was created in a text editor Word, "BMP" - in a graphics editor, for example Paint, "PPT" says that you are dealing with a presentation created in PowerPoint, "XLS" is a sign of a spreadsheet, "jpg" - a graphic document with which they worked, for example, in Photoshop "e.

Note... When giving a file a proper name, try to match the information that is stored in it - it is much easier to find it later. For example, "Adressbook" or "Contacts".

The name can be typed in Russian or in any other language installed on this computer, contain numbers, punctuation marks, excluding quotes and special characters.

In addition to files, there are so-called folders - they store information by which the computer finds the desired file.

Folder "My Documents"

It appears on the computer when installing the software. As a rule, many novice users, and not only them, prefer to store their files in it. This is convenient because it happens by default. But when working with a large amount of various information, it is more convenient to create "thematic" folders and put files in them. This greatly facilitates the search for information.

Notes. one. One and the same document can be saved under different names in the same folder, under the same name in different folders and under different names in different folders (as it is convenient for anyone).

2. If in the process of assigning a name you accidentally erased the extension, do not worry, the computer will assign the desired extension to your file.

Note... All the same can be done by selecting the floppy disk icon on the toolbar and single-clicking on it with the left mouse button.

If you are working with an already saved document, the Save and Save As ... commands work differently. In the first option ("Save") the document is saved under the same name with all the corrections and additions made to it. In this case, the dialog box does not appear on the screen. (Clicking on the floppy disk icon will produce the same result). In the second option ("Save as ..."), the already familiar dialog box will open on the screen (see Fig. 3), where the name under which you saved the document will be written in the "File name" field. By entering a new name there, you will save your document with all the corrections and additions made under a different name.

Other folders

If you want to save the document in another folder, you should select it (and, of course, create it first). To select another folder on any of the disks, left-click once on the black arrow to the right of the "Folder" field. After that, a window will appear where you will see the icons and names of disks available on your computer: for example, the "Desktop" icon, the "My Documents" folder, etc. (Fig. 6).

Note.

You can also act in the reverse order: first change the name, and then select the folder to save.

Changing the extension

To change the file extension, click on the black arrow to the right of the "File type" field. After that, a list of all extensions allowed for this file will appear on the screen (Fig. 7).

Note... To use the document in the DOS environment, you need to select from the list of lines "DOS text with a break into lines" or "DOS text". However, almost all text formatting will be lost.

Automatic saving of information

For the convenience of saving a document while working, the computer can be set to the so-called autosave mode. It is especially important that information is saved automatically if the electrical network supplying your computer is not very reliable.

To activate the function of automatic saving of information, select the "Tools" item in the main menu, and in it the "Options" sub-item (Fig. 8). On the "Save" tab, select "Automatic Save Every:" and in the field to the right of it set the time interval between automatically repeating writing to the computer memory of the document you are working on. Then, if a name has already been assigned to the document, there is no need to periodically remind the computer to save the information. He will do it on his own.

One last note. Everything described above is true for any Windows application, the only differences will be in the automatically suggested file name and extension or in the default folder.
