App2externalsd? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The atrix has technically 3 storage areas: app area (2GB), 'SD' area (~10Gb) and then external SD. I am under the impression App2SD is supposed to move Apps to sd... and upon creation of app2SD, that would be external SD. Is this not the case...?

You could always keep TiBU backups of your apps on your extsd and re install when needed..

[REQUEST] Avatar movie file, mobi tv, sims 3, Gogo, etc

Could someone please post the avatar movie file and the other exclusive apps, such as sim 3, mobi tv, and gogo, and whatever other useful apks i can use on my evo.
Download the vibrant dump from the developer section. It does not come with the avatar movie though, nor will the avatar movie even work on your evo its got DRM. It also does not have the sims 3 and we cant post it... that would be illegal lol....

Cool features? I rather get stock Android applications, a lot of these things that hes requesting for are bloatware and a lot of us uninstall it. The things like The Sims and Avatar are neat but they are DRM protected. Also the applications like Mobitv, Kindle, etc that come preloaded with the phone aren't the actual app.. they are generally 30-day trials.
How bout you get rid of that evo and get a vibrant, or epic if your on sprint.

It WILL play without the apk file, it WILL play if moved to another Vibrant, it WON'T play on any other device, and it IS illegal to upload it because it's copyright Fox or whomever.
On a side note, how the HELL do people keep deleting this thing?
Oh, and because it was bothering me: "Avatar", "without", "Could", "Avatar", "their".

He is right. I rooted my Vibrant and swapped out the SD Card. After that,
I deleted the apk and such, then moved the movie files to my new SD Card.
No apk, file plays flawlessly.

It's only licensed to play on the Vibrant.
Possibly only on Samsung's customized rom, too (IOW, you won't be able to play it on CM6).

Or if you got a old phone with a SD card hook both up to the USB and just copy it over to the new SD card. Or you could probably even get away with copying it to your Samsung 14GB internal then switching the old SD to the new and then cutting it into the new SD card

Hardware hack to add sdcard support?

I wonder if anyone's looked in to this? Could be huge - most of us have a dead simcard slot - I wonder if there's a way to hack in an sdcard reader to the hardware?
What dead MicroSD card slot?
Do you mean the slot that has the serial # info and has nothing to do with ab SD card?

He said dead sim card slot, not dead MicroSD card slot. The OP clearly realises the slot has nothing to do with an SD card. Seems you have misunderstood or not bothered to read it properly but nevertheless im sure the pretty much redundant piece of plastic with the serial info is something that I'm sure a lot of TP users would be prepared to sacrifice if they could mod in a card reader.
If you're going to hack anything then hack the USB port to work as a host and read away!

I've wondered if it would be possible to solder in a wire from a +5v somewhere to the USB. (I'm sure someone will quickly point out if this is a "bad" idea...)

you would probably need to create 5v first. the touchpad I think runs off something like 3v. while I seems like a good idea to hack in a card reader,my feeling is not to.worry until you in out of memory. a better idea might be a device stuck to the back containing a extra battery and a card.reader. It would make the tablet thicker but increase battery life and provide plenty of storageas well as providing the power needed for the reader.

This would also be awesome. I think it would take a bit more for this though than an sdcard since the sdcard can operate up to 3.7v.

Well that's not near what the OP was talking about. An SD card that give you build in storage, even on the go, is much more practical than this option.
Still could be useful, but for me it not very practical.

I don't have a problem...
1. I didn't see where he asked about it... my apologies there.
2. Just pointing out the limited usefulness compared to the SD card solution.
I wasn't trying to be a jerk.
Personally I think the best solution would have been if HP would of just included an SD or MicroSD card. It drive me nuts when manufacturers mimic the apple model and give you less option and features as if that will equal success (looking at you Touchpad and GalaxyTab 10.1).
Um... Looks like the subject is just about buried in the amount of crap everyone has been piling on so far.
So back to constructive discussion... What are the advantages of having SD card in your mobile device (be it a phone or a tablet)?
I have a 16GB microSD card in my Nexus One, and I have never taken it out. I almost wish all of the flash was just integrated.
With quality of USB and network file transfer protocols I think SD is just about useless.

Very simple, I can put all my photos, videos, documents, downloads, Maps for my GPS apps on my SD card. It leaves more space on my device for apps and if and when I wipe my device I don't lose any of it. I've had time when I was having an issue with a device and had to wipe everything. Having certain files on my SDcard kept me from loosing anything. with my phone I've stored different ROM on my SDcard so I could test them out and switch between various ROM with ease.
I don't take my SDcard out either, the purpose of the SDcard isn't to move files from you computer to you phone but rather as storage.
But, I'll give you $10 for that useless 16GB microSD card.

Technically a TouchPad without hardware damage is unbrickable, USB is connected to CPU so you could always push a boot image to RAM.
You do bring up a valid issue, but some of the ways you can stop relying on local storage are cloud storage and cloud backups. These Palm accounts that we get with WebOS on the TouchPads do just that.
Which brings us to the next question, can we have an application to access our Palm accounts from Android?

But I like local storage. I rather have my music on my SD card. There are some picture I'd also like to have on my device locally. Same with documents and a variety of other thing. I don't have to have everything on there, but there are something I would like to have. Not to mention that being a WiFi device I can't always have access to cloud storage.
There is room for both in my opinion.
OK, I'm done... back to you regularly scheduled thread.
ive been curious about this since i got mine, but i have a 32gb, so its never really been a project in the front of my mind...imma take a look at the whitesheets and teardowns (cuz i dont wanna open mine if SD isnt possible ) and see if there are even pins for data available, but im pretty sure there isnt, which would also explain why devs are working on getting OTG running

Memory, USB storage, sd storage

Let me start off by saying I am new and I tried to do a search but every time I tried to fill in the search space it would disappear. So that's why I'm asking a question that's probably been asked before. So I have a Tmobile galaxy s2 and an 8 gig sd card. I also downloaded the Astros manager app as well and don't really know how to use that. My problem is I have aboutMN on USB and 6.7 g on sd which is an 8gig card. I deleted some apps from my USB storage but the number hasn't changed. What can I do with the Astros app to make more room if it's possible and what is the use of a sd card if my phone is filled up? Also I read with Astros file I think you can move some apps to the sd card??? Lastly it is not rooted. Thanks for any assistance.
Hi
To help you properly you're going to have to proof read what you've written there as it isn't making much sense! In particular the main details "My problem is I have aboutMN on USB and 6.7 g on sd which is an 8gig card."
What I can say is you need to understand there are 3 areas of storage on your phone.
The internal app storage (2GB), the Internal 'USB Storage' (11.50GB and in some areas confusingly called sdcard) and then whichever 'external SD' you have installed, in your case 8GB.
If you check through the Astro Tools if I remember correctly it has one which shows you a graphical respresentation of where you file space is being used. You do not need Astro to move files to SD. You can do that through the normal Android Settings menu under Applications.
It is unlikely that your apps are using much of you 'USB Storage' unless you have many Gameloft games installed as they will default to using that sotrage no the external SD. Other apps such as Spotify and PocketCasts will also do it.
So really depending on which area of your storage is full will depend on what you can do to fix it
Another thing is the confusion between "marketing" GB and real GB
Marketing GB:
1GB = 1000MB
1MB = 1000KB
Real GB
1GB = 1024MB
1MB = 1024KB
Well crapola! Available space is 670mb on USB storage. Also I have that app 2 sd and it says I have several apps that I can't move from my phone to the external sd card. I've tried from that app and it won't let me. And yes I do have some game loft stuff that I really don't use. It was cool to have at the time. Also eventually I may want to root my phone, just don't know which one to use since there are a few out there.

I stopped reading here. While any discussion regarding memory and available space is PROBABLY general enough to apply to any model of Android phone, at least SOMEONE should note to you that there are many, MANY different flavors of Galaxy SII. Also, it is VITAL you figure out what your model of phone is before you start trying to root as you say you intend to do in the post above.
If you are a T-Mobile user, and are in the US, than the chances are damn near zero that you have a GT-I9100 model phone (also known as the "international" Galaxy SII), which is typically marketed and sold in Europe and other markets OTHER than the US. The T-Mobile USA Galaxy SII is the SGH-T989. It has its own separate forum. Search for it on the main forum page.
The big three US carriers (T-Mobile, AT&T, and Sprint) aside from Verizon (who doesn't have a Galaxy SII model) all have completely DIFFERENT models of Galaxy SII, and firmwares and kernels are usually NOT compatible between any of them.
The lone exceptions, are that some kernels will work between the ATT version (SGH-I777) and the GT-I9100.
So again I'm on the wrong board?? Geez

Successor to HTC ONE in February 2014?

HTC is close to launching the successor flagship model to the HTC One. HTC has not revealed the launch date. Nokia has adduced evidence which suggests that the launch date is in the first quarter of 2014 and possibly as early as February 2014. HTC has not contradicted this.

This looks like a very promising upgrade for me. But I really am not a fan of phones without SD cards these days...
SD cards are old hat. Don't need them. they are slower and have more issues then on board storage. Just make the new devices with 32gigs minimum of on board storage and all is well.
Nothing more irritating then SDcard 0 and SDcard 1. How many times has this driven good Dev's batty? Ask the sense 5 rom porters.
Not too mention the only reason the EVO LTE doesn't already have a multirom port is because the sd card issue. Years ago I would have told you I needed an SD card slot. Truth is I buy an sd card and throw it in and forget about it. Hvent removed it since the EVO lTE was new and it might have well just been on board storage. I have a Nexus 7 and love the fact that it doesn't have an SD card confusing everything. Love not having to remember which drive the rom is on when flashing in recovery. "now lets see...did that download go to sd card0 "downloads" folder or sd card 1 "downloads" folder?" Yeah enough of that trash!
SD cards are for OG nerds, you fill up a 32 gig phone and I say go buy a real video camera there Spielberg.

That's just it, you put it in and forget it. And in the process, you buy 64GB of storage for $40, instead of $300 (or, not at any price, for most phones). I use pretty much all of my storage on videos and other stuff. That doesn't need to be fast.

Still, I'd love to see them keep it looking pretty damn close to the One. One is the sexiest phone I've ever seen, but I had to skip it due to no upgrade, so anything else made won't look as goof, unless nearly identical.

Maybe a 128 gb phone would be acceptable, 16 and 32 are not enough, and haven't been for yrs. Better graphical games are bigger nowadays as well. And I have tons of games, and all emulators on mine. Seriously, stop bashing on people who like options. U want to be ruled by Nazis, than get an iPhone! Sorry, but that's my 2 cents

Memory Card issue

I had been using a Samsung evo 32gb in my g3 with no issues. I upgraded to the Samsung evo 128gb and now when I play my music, the music drops out a lot. I don't understand. I had a replacement sent to me and it does the same thing. I bought them from Amazon and have ran two different apps to test them. They come back as genuine Samsung cards. The cards are reading @ 41 mbs. So I'm not sure what the deal is. I only have a couple of days before I have to send the card back so I'm trying to find out if the cards are good or not. Thanks.

What format is the card in? FAT32? ExFAT? Whichever it is, try the other. Even if it came formatted, you can try formatting it from the phone instead. Sometimes it makes a difference.
Also, there's some apps to increase the cache for your Micro SD card. I think some music apps have a cache setting, too.

Sweet. I'll check into the formatting. Can you give some examples of apps you are referring to? Thanks!

I haven't used any in a while so I don't remember specifically the app names.
If you search the Play Store for SD cache I see some but some of the hits are for other things related to cache, so you'll just have to judge by their names.
I think among all the other things it does, I believe ROM Toolbox by JRummy does that, but that app's overkill and might require buying for some features.
Sometimes I wish I could pay it forward with apps I've bought in the past. I've probably stopped using more apps that I've paid for than apps I currently use that require being bought.
You're welcome!

Thanks man. I sure appreciate your help. My old card was fat 32, new one is exfat. I'm backing up my sd card at this moment, so I can change it. Again thank you. Much appreciated.

Interesting to hear if your reformatting makes a difference.
I have a 128gb Lexar 633x Class 10 (black/blue) that my VZW G3 will not recognize(mount) the card in any format or formatted with different softwares. Works fine is cameras and pcs/laptops.
But it will mount the 54gb version of same card.
good luck
Well, going from exfat to fat 32 seems to have helped some. It still has some drop out, but not like before. I'd say it's probably reduced to 1/2 or 1/4 of what I was experiencing.
