I've been running torque for a while now and most little mysteries have cleared themselves up over time....but a few remain. One concerns my boost gauge. When I shut off the car, torque and tablet go to sleep, and torque will usually retain a boost highpoint marker achieved during some past run. Less often I will start up to find past boost high point markers wiped and I'm starting from scratch. No big deal but I haven't been ale to explain/predict what the difference is and I really like to think I have a handle on what's going on. Any other torque users out there care to offer a suggestion as to what might cause the two different behaviors.

Torque questions
- Thread starter Larrylu
- Start date
Old thread with a new question. Has anyone come up with a good way to back up Torque set ups? I've cooked one device and I did not have anything backed up. I just spent a lot of time recreating my setup and I don't want to make the same mistake twice. I'm now using a Galaxy Tab and I inserted a 32 gig card in the slot. I don't care if I back up to that or if I plug it in to my desktop. Just haven't figured out how to back up that particular data yet. Looks like I can back up the Torque logs easy but that's not the data I'm worried about.
On your data screen, hit the settings button in the right hand corner then layout settings/export settings.
I also noticed there is "layout mode" in those options so you can do a bulk move/edit without having to tap and hold every gauge. I don't know how much time I have wasted because I didn't notice that.... :shortbus:
You might want to get a file browser for your tab as well, makes some of these file operations much simpler.
I'm currently using File X-plore.

Speaking of short bus....
I used the layout export mode, gave it a name, but could not specify where it was exporting to. Then I tried to find the new layout file and could not. Would a file browser app make this easier?

Yes it would Larry! I use FileManager but there are several good ones.
I think the folder you are looking for is named dashboardLarrylu said:FoMoCoSHO said:On your data screen, hit the settings button in the right hand corner then layout settings/export settings.

When you back out of the gauge screen it will reset all past highs and lows...to keep them just turn off screen of tablet instead of backing out.Larrylu said:I've been running torque for a while now and most little mysteries have cleared themselves up over time....but a few remain.

Good tip on the highs and lows. I've hated loosing some of those. Just recorded an all time high boost this afternoon. Normal high for me is mid to high 13. Today for no obvious reason I looked over to see a 16. Wonder if the heat today caused a compensating higher boost to fill the demanded power request?
Only time I've ever seen 16+...had a tear in my intake piping.Larrylu said:Good tip on the highs and lows. I've hated loosing some of those. Just recorded an all time high boost this afternoon.

I see 16 occasionally on lift...almost like the BOV takes some time to catch up. I double checked all the piping and it looks good. That said my 2011 did have the ripped piping right by the turbo and I saw spikes as well -which seems counterintuitive to me but so be it.
