Can't seem to configure my phone to download to SD card by default
Well, I have a *Motorola Razr I* and, as expected, my internal storage was pretty limited (only 5 gbs). Of course, I already had a SD card which I inserted into my phone to expand it's memory to 25 gbs (more or less), but ran into a couple of problems. First of those problems was that I had to speci...
Well, I have a *Motorola Razr I* and, as expected, my internal storage was pretty limited (only 5 gbs). Of course, I already had a SD card which I inserted into my phone to expand it's memory to 25 gbs (more or less), but ran into a couple of problems.
First of those problems was that I had to specify to my Razr that, from now on, my default install and download location would be the aforementioned SD card and, in order to do that, I had to run the following command line:
... set-install-location 2
.
After a couple of failed attempts, I managed to make it work. I wrote such line in the command prompt and managed to verify that, indeed, the default install location was "2". Unfortunately, when I tried downloading an app off Google Play, I still got the Not enough memory available
message. The worst part is that I went through the process over and over again and could not find where my mistake was.
Any ideas?

Disable automatic connection to weblogin networks
As far as I know, Android never had the option to disable automatic connection to specific Wifi networks, and always, stupidly, makes Wifi higher priority than 3G. Yet this kind of feature is *crucial* in urban areas with abundant open *web login* networks in cafés etc. Even Symbian on my old N...
As far as I know, Android never had the option to disable automatic connection to specific Wifi networks, and always, stupidly, makes Wifi higher priority than 3G. Yet this kind of feature is *crucial* in urban areas with abundant open *web login* networks in cafés etc. Even Symbian on my old Nokia 5800 XpressMusic had the option to order networks manually, so that 3G could have higher priority than certain Wifi networks. iOS6, as a worse substitute of this ordering, also used to have the option to disable automatic connection to specific wifi networks. But that is gone since iOS7, so switching to Apple does not solve my problem. Has anyone figured out a hack, a third party app or so, to get this crucial feature on Android phones?
(I currently have Motorola RAZRi, and am extremely frustrated, since the one and only Jelly Bean upgrade 1.5 years ago made it unrootable and slow, and Motorola has provided no upgrades since then. I'm also frustrated by Android's region locking, not allowing me to install my bank's app while living abroad. Since iOS region locking -- while still evil like all DRM -- is softer, only based on the AppleID account, not the device itself, I'm considering switching to iPhone unless this Wifi issue can be solved more satisfactorily on Android.)
Internet searches turn up nothing, only other questions of the same fact, and answers saying "the asker is an idiot and this is standard behaviour on all mobile devices and how things should be". Maybe this attitude stems from different culture -- the US culture from where the tech companies offering substandard products come from -- where there are perhaps few weblogin networks? But in Europe the situation is different. It is frustrating to have internet stop working on the street, because instead of 3G, the phone has connected to a web login network radiating from the nearby café, e.g., the very common _TheCloud in the UK. At the same time, having wifi enabled is crucial, because even at my home in the centre of an important university town there is in practise no 3G -- not to even speak of LTE, for which I would not pay on this island that has worse signal quality than the third-world countries I've visited. In many cafés in particular there is no 3G reception, and a frequent need to use _TheCloud. The option of manually forgetting a network after each use is a purely unusable alternative, moving the task of *remembering* from the device to the user – yet IT should ease our lives, and have an option that needs to be set only once and forgot!

How can I mute the camera shutter on Motorola RAZR i (ICS, without rooting)
Even when I silence the device the camera shutter continues to making sound. I know that using rooting alternative we can move or delete the correspondent ogg file*. But i'm looking for a less invasive/complex alternative. (*) https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/89/how-do-i-disable-the-click...
