Here is a question for experts.
There are several tweaks in this forum guiding us how to move cache of IE, Opera, Emails and Attachments to Storage Card.. Even the HTC Album cache was transfered. But here is a question: what happens with those programs if you run them while the card is not available (for example while connected to PC in USB Disk mode). In some cases this can be avoided (just don't run Opera while transferring files) but what happens if you receive an email while the card is not inside or you are browsing photos meanwhile...
Kind of afraid to try - maybe you already have the experience?
Thanks in advance

Sorry for this kind of cilly question, does anyone know of a software similar to active sync where it automatically synronizes my sd card along with the pda. i mean up to now i have to do it manually every couple of times, I simply copy the sc card to a folder on the computer. But if the sc card gets erased I don't have the latest info stored....
Try Mighty Sync available from http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=4118

Dear all,
I have a problem like this:
1. I had actived Permanent Save
2. But I unintentionally I deleted all of Contacts
3. So, when I tried to hard-reset, I restore from Permanent Save it was gone
My question:
Actually Permanent Save saves the data in Storage Card, as you know that a formatted hard-disk still can be recovered, so is there any tool to recover all data of Contact from SD Card?
Thanks a lot for your support.
when you put an sd card in a sd card reader it can be undeleted from just like any harddisk
you just pick the sdreader drive rather then the hd
Recovery
look this link http://www.ontrack.com/easyrecoveryprofessional/ this tool that you can use maybe can helpyou to recover your data on your extraible media (please now se my post and tellme if you can helpme about the compact net framework on wallaby cell phone)
Regards!!!
P.D. Tellme if this was helpful for you
Hi,
It's my first post in this section, I've been somewhat active in Nexus One and HTC Tytn forums in the past.
Now, my wife and I own a GS3 each, and we are very happy with it.
But, we have 2 problems with music playing on the S3 :
- Android doesn't seem to scan music on the ExtSdcard. I tried to re-tag the mp3 files, change the folder, clean caches (general cache, music apps cache and media scanning cache), reboot several times, etc. The phone seems to only find the mp3 on the internal memory (I tried to copy a music album on the internal memory, and it was found immediatly). It's true on the two phones, but it don't really bother me because I'm used to folder navigation. Only my wife uses tags system, and she noticed this first.
I could add that this behaviour started recently but we didn't notice it, because the cache has been populated before, and it was kept in memory. We saw this behaviour yesterday, when trying to add new music files. They weren't added to the music database.
Confirmed with : stock mp3 app, Meridian, and musicmatch. I didn't try other media players.
It's a big problem since we are huge music fans, and we own large sdcards for this purpose. Especially my wife... We don't want to put the music files on internal memory, it would be stupid.
- On my own S3, the "media players" notification, when you plug the headphones and see a list of media players, this function is not working, nothing shows up. It's not a real problem for me, but I just found this lost of fonctionnality a little strange. It's working on my wife's S3.
My wife's S3 is completely stock, only rooted and some small mods.
I'm rooted, stock modded rom, with Siyah kernel b6. Very happy with it.
We both are XXLFB. I suspect XXLFB introduced the first problem/bug.
mods :
- real brightness
- skip tracks on handsfree (me)
- bloatware removed (me)
- small fonts
- camera shutter sound menu
- cell standby fix (me)
Thank you for your help, or ideas...

Hi,
- Android doesn't seem to scan music on the ExtSdcard.
I installed a few music files via KIES to EXT Card Likewise a few videos .
Then just copy and paste the rest in to the folders Kies made Media = MP3 Video = Video .

Hi,
I read everywhere to avoid using Kies, as it could harm the phone. And the last update contained a trojan, according to my AV (gdata). Is it really, the recommended method ?
I really don't like to use softwares to make simple tasks I could do by hand.
Why, suddenly, my phone stops scanning the sd card ? I used to simply copy/paste files from the windows explorer, and it always worked :/
It's my first samsung smartphone, so maybe I'm missing something subtile ?

Its the official Samsung tool .
trojan = false positive

No the layout of sd card and ext card is changed for SGS3 .
You could try just making the two folders and copy and paste .

One thing I am sure is my S3 does scan music from my extFAT 64GB card. I am not sure about Android as awhole but you shouldn't have problem doing so. Both PowerAMP and Samsung Music Player works.
extFAT 64GB card
yes if its that format fat32 gives problems .
jje
So, I tried to rename the "music" folder on ExtSd to "media", on both phones and it didn't work. Even after a reboot + removal of battery and sd card.
It is not possible to use Kies, as it is constantly crashing while media scanning...
So you think it could be related to the format of the partition ? It's Fat32.
One thing for sure, on internal memory, scanning is working. And it worked with extsd, a few days/weeks ago. Could XXBLF break this fonctionality (one of the few things the 2 phones both have) ?
Edit :
OK, I managed to make it work.
I had to backup the content of my sd to the pc, re-format using exFAT, copy my backup back. After several reboots and a media scanning cache cleaning, it now works on my phone. I now have to make the same thing on my wife's phone...
Why it stopped working on both phones is still a mystery.
However, many thanks for your help !
Hi guys, hope someone can help me, I have 2 problems stopping me from installing 75% of the apps I want on my tablet which I just updated to it's official JellyBean ROM. No one else has reported this problem with this tablet/ROM so I hope someone knows the solution.
1) with around 50% of the apps (paid for and free) I get the error "Couldn't Install on the USB storage or SD card" (see screenshot)
2) a lot of apps (Chrome for example) say they are not compatible, yet they were fine in ICS and they are fine on my JellyBean phone.
Number 2 I've seen before and been able to add an android.hardware.location.gps.xml file in to system/etc/permissions and it's work, but it's not working this time.
Number 1 has me really stumped, searching the net finds the problems on all sorts of devices and there's 2 solutions, neither of which work, one is to unmount the SD card and install, then remount it - I've unmounted & removed the card, but nothing (I have 16Gb internal memory too). The other solution is to delete any files called "smdl2tmp1" of which I have none.
Now I've tried wiping the cache etc, re-installing the ROM, doing factory resets etc but nothing is helping. I have also noticed that my internal memory isn't getting wiped each time and I cannot find how to wipe it.
The tablet has CWM recovery built in but it's in chinese, but I know my way around it.
I have noticed that if I install and load up Astro file manager it lists my storage options as this (click for screenshot)
Local Storage 1 (USB) - I have nothing plugged in to the slot
Local Storage 2 tries to point to external SD card even when it's unmounted or not even in (this still appears if I have nothing plugged in on boot too)
Local Storage 3 is my internal memory
Local Storage 1 & 2 allow me to open them but there's nothing in there and I cannot add folders etc (no errors, it just doesn't do it)
Please can anyone offer advice?
My tablet is pretty useless with hardly any apps installed on it.
can anyone help?
What tablet you running
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda app-developers app
I own a Nokia 6, never rooted, 8.1.0 with the latest security patch installed (1 August 2018).
I have 32 GB internal shared storage and 64 GB microSD card installed. Be it a good or bad idea, I have formatted the card as internal storage, and migrated data to it using options available in Android settings, no third party shenanigans.
When I look at apps' details, those that have the option to choose storage signify that they are on sdcard.
Now, to the problem: I approached about half of used space on the sdcard, that's a bit over 32 GB, and I'm closing in on about half on the internal shared storage, that's about 13.4 GB used at the moment.
However, even though it would look like I have lots of unused space left, the phone started to act as if I don't have any. But... Not always. Let me elaborate.
I can't make a picture or record video, all I get is: "there was a problem with saving your photo or video."
I can't download files using a browser. It instantly fails.
I can't install apps from Google Play Store like "Google" and many others, however, I can install some other apps, seemingly at random (but if it fails, of keeps failing).
I can - because I just did - download security patches from settings/system updates....
From the above I speculate without any specific Android knowledge that:
- the internal shared storage isn't a single partition spanning the whole of built-in memory but rather is partitioned into multiple... Well, parts, therefore:
- there's probably a /system, /data and /user partition (forgive the layman guesswork on the names). There's probably also a /swap like in *nix? Then again, I guess not because that would probably slowly kill internal storage flash memory...
Anyway, from the above I gather that the simplistic reporting on how much internal storage I used doesn't let me know that I might have ran out of space on one of those discrete partitions.
That might explain why some apps I can install (they can be installed in external storage, so they do) and some I can't (they need to be on internal storage for whatever reason).
I have tried looking at the app info to maybe move apps to SD card but any and all I check either don't have the option or they already are on SD.
I tried deleting files and removing apps with various results:
- some files I just can't remove, even though they don't appear to be in use (still, maybe they have handles open, I don't know how to check for that apart of forcing suspected apps close)
- some apps (HERE Maps) left a considerable amount of junk in Android/data after themselves, and none of my file managers seem to be able to delete these files.
- some files and apps deleted just fine and the used space indicator did reflect that, however...
I still can't save a photo or video, or download a file, and apps still either install or not, just like before.
That got me thinking that there may be a problem with file/directory permissions for some bizarre reason.
I'm stumped. I'm on the go, visiting Milan tomorrow and I won't be able to take a single photo. Not that Nokia 6 has a great camera, but it's there and I can't use it when I need it.
Halp?
A little bump
So, am I truly sentenced to factory reset?
Hidden Android dialer codes don't work at all... I think I'm out of options here.
Update: So I did end up doing the factory reset. Afterward, my phone started to work fine, with the exception of the microSD card that always showed up in the notification area as needing of attention. I tried formatting it as portable, and it would supposedly work if you went by the final "success" message, but it wouldn't change anything, and it would still not show up in file manager. The notification about it needing to be set up would still be there, no matter how many times I tried.
So I took the card out and connected it to a PC - tried formatting it, deleting and recreating all partitions, wiping it out, all supposedly would work in partition managers, but after the things were all done, it wouldn't reflect on the actual card.
Seems like it was dying already.... Fortunately, I had a 32GB card to spare, got it into the phone. Worked on the first try.
So that's all folks, my 64GB microSD card died on me, and that's the reason of all the anguish above. Now you know.
