Four days without an unwanted reboot

I put apps back on the 32 GB Sandisk sdcard on 21st December and its now after lunch on Christmas Day. Merry Christmas to any one reading this.

There have been no reboots, so its looking pretty clear that formatting the card on the device has fixed the fairly frequent reboots earlier.

Google+ moved back to phone

I found the Google+ widget was missing when the app was on the Sdcard, so I moved it back..

Returned 32 GB card to GS2

After moving all apps back to the phone, I swapped out the 16 GB and went back to the original 32GB. Didn't reformat yet, or move any apps to the card. Will give the reboot problem a chance to reappear first.

Edit: Same evening, I have now moved the ten largest apps across to SDcard, most of which are games my Grandchildren play :)

Soon time to replace the 32 GB Sandisk card

The 16 GB Sandisk SDHC card has been working perfectly for 4 days now, so the next step I plan is to replace the rebooting 32 GB card, & see if the reboots return. IF they do I'll reformat the card and try again..

Android and iOS Cloud Print problem solved!

Was going wild when Google Help said I could Cloud Print from Google Docs, but no Print tag showed up on any of the EXISTING documents on my iPhone 4 or Galaxy S2!

Eventually, I created a new test document and damn me the Print feature appeared, and Cloud Print worked.

I also discovered existing documents needed to be Upgraded within Google Docs, after which more of those appeared OK.

Next stage of the reboot biz

Received 2x 16 GB Sandisk SDcards today, and have now replaced the 8 GB Kingston card, which has worked without rebooting since the 9th December, with one of these.
Ran Mybackup Pro to it, and will monitor further.

Further notes on the GS2 reboot biz

On 9th December I installed the old Kingston 8 GB SDcard from my Nexus One in the GS2, formatted it, and ran a MyBackup Pro backup to it. Since then it has been working fine, no reboots, tho' it is still early days.

I'm expecting a pair of 16 GB Class 6 SanDisks to arrive from Dustin in the next day or so. I'll replace the Kingston with one of these and continue the test for up to a week before replacing the original 32 GB Class 4 SanDisk, reformatting it, and seeing if I have more reboots with the latter.
