I use handcent for my sms and mms, I have android set to save to sd. How and what directory do I change handcent to to save auto to sd card instead of internal.
What i'm trying to do:
anytime someone sends me a picture, I click on it to save it. It says saved to sd when you click on it and save it.
Can anyone help?

i never tried it but i think you can go to:
Menu/Settings/Application Settings/Save directory and manually put in the path
/sdcard2/

just use the built in contacts application, it has an import/export function.
open contacts, menu button, import/export, export to SD card.
this creates a vcard file on ur SD card, and you can simply import from SD card once you have flashed your phone
easy as, i do it this way every time.
that being said, i also use my backup root for call logs, messages, etc so its probably worth getting it from the market too.
tim.
I use MyBackUp Pro and it works great. If you only want to backup your contacts to your SD card, I believe the free version (MyBackUp) works fine too.
I use myPhoneExplorer. This App sync with your PC.
Can anyone give me a quick tutorial on how to set titanium backup up on my atrix, i had it on my cappy, but i just need to know really where the actual files need to be on my sd cards, whether it be on external or internal sd. the way it was set up on my cappy was kinda screwey. i did better just saving the files on my computer once backed up, rather than saving the just to my external sd. im having a hard time explaining exactly what im trying to do, so any input would be greatly appreciated! thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!
edit: solution to backup to external sd:
go in to tibu> menu button> preferences> backup folder location> press back button twice> select sdcard-ext> then select the green "create a new folder"
titanium backup has its own site full of info on how to use the app. i would suggest going there and looking for the answers to your questions
As far as where your files need to be I don't really understand that part but if you want to know where the backup goes look like since our device is "unique" lol in calling the internal memory an sd card we can't set it to save to our actual sd cards but you can set it to go to your dropbox.
thats just my 2 cents

Copy and paste the TiBU folder to your external card or computer before flashing. Then after your done, paste the folder back to the Atrix's internal sd card and restore. I only restore user apps and not their data, restoring system apps/settings can cause problems.

When using Root Explorer on my Cap or Atrix or my roommates DInc there are 2 folders for SD Card, one has an "ext" indicating its the external card. The other 'SD Card' is the internal memory.
As soon as I get on a computer, I will thank you all, well except for whoever directed me to tibu website, j/k I've already been there though... I was just looking for real advice from real people. More device specific I guess... But that's all I needed. Thanks guys

You can't restore directly from Dropbox. The Dropbox backup is used to replace the files in your Ti backup folder on the internal SD card if they get wiped. If you lose the SD card backup, you sync with Dropbox in Ti, and it downloads all the apps back to your internal SD card, (the default backup folder).
I backup to both so I am covered all around. Works with the Atrix cos' I've had to use it.
Ti Wiki
its pretty much JUST like the captivate
/sdcard/titaniumbackup
which is a symlink to
/mnt/sdcard/titaniumbackup
there is no difference in that regard. if you want to save it all to the external SD you need to change the path in TIBU to
/mnt/sdcard-ext/titaniumbackup

Certain apps tend to save data on the phone's internal storage which is named "sdcard". So in order to trick those apps to save data on my external sdcard(sdcard2), would it be okay to rename the "sdcard" to "internal storage" and rename "sdcard2" to "sdcard"?
Would that cause any problems?
I like to keep my apps stored on my phone's storage and keep everything else (music, videos, pictures, browser downloads) on my actual sd card.
do it in windows explorer; i renamed mine and it works well still
Could you explain how you did this. I have tried a couple different ways and i am having no luck renaming my sd card file.
I am sure with custom roms we can swap the mount points if we want.

But that's not renaming the folder itself as the phone sees it, that's just modifying what the computer knows to call it in Explorer when you hook it up.
OP, I tried changing it myself and it wouldn't work. I don't think it's possible until root comes along and we can modify file system data and the like. Sucks, and it's stupid that HTC thought it'd be a good idea to name it SDcard, but we're stuck with it for now

Not much worse than moto bionic Havering internel storage as sdcard, and the actual SD card, sdcard-ext.

That's the exact case here. Internal storage on the Rezound is "SDCARD" and the acutal SD Card is "SDCARD2" or "ext_sd" - those two folders are mirrors of each other.
I finished rooting my Nook Tablet and started copying over files to the /data/media directory. However, none of my music shows up in any of my apps. Why not?
well it does not allow you to copy for some reason
(at least for me)
it just crashes and when i go and see it , it not there.
^(probably did not help, but...)
did you change permissions after copying files?
hey you live in Souther California too

Yes, I gave permission to all of them. None of the files show up in any of my programs, they all say that I don't have an SD Card mounted or just won't show anything.

If you don't see the SD card just pop it out and reinsert it. That's a common thing for the NT.

Did I copy the files to the right directory? How do I get them to show up in my programs?
Edit: This is seriously bothering me now, I have 12 GB and I can't use any of it because none of those files will show up in ANY of my picture/video/music apps. Isn't there any way to link a folder into the internal SD card so that the apps think it's on the internal SD card?
I just bought my very first sd card and Id like to know how to move entire folders to it.
For example I have a folder named "whatsapp images" There are roughly 10thousand pic in it. How can I move it ?
I'd also like to know if it is possible to set whatsapp to sabe future incoming media directly to the sdcard.

you cannot move all folders to sd-card or generally in new path.
for example for whatsapp; that s the directory created by app itself and may use it in future
if you remove this folder whatsapp will recreate it when needed but maybe u miss some files from whatsapp.
(in Android 4.4.+ 3rd party Apps cannot create file in External Memory (only system app can do this))
sd-card is good for your media music, photos, videos
if you don't want to miss any important folder use this setting;
Settings > Storage > (scroll down) Transfer Data to SD card
:good:
Hit Thanks if it s useful

Already did that.
What I want to do is avoid whatsapp and other apps to save media in local storage.
Is that possible? Thanks in advance.

So App won't do this
unless u use Root App
app that get root access (so u need to root ur device and etc.)
example of pre-install app is Camera App that has option to store both in internal and external but other app cannot do this.

My phone's already rooted. So I have to find a modified version of whatsapp ?
YES you can do what you want, get an app called foldermount, with that you can symlink ANY folder you want (including WhatsApp, large game folders, camera directory or whatever) from your internal sd card to the external sd card.
Edit: sorry you will also need handle external storage from xposed for it to be able to use the external sd
Your welcome

I set spotify to download two playlist in order to be able to play them in offline mode.
Spotify alone is occupying 7gb of my internal memory. How can I move those files to the memory card (sd) ?
Folder mount
I tried wiping my SD card but it is asking for a PIN password.
I have no idea what is it.
I tried 0000 1245 but failed.
Does anyone know?
Any info in any of those XML files?

P.S. WhatsApp is saving media in the internal memory, right ?
Yep, whatsapp is saving to internal memory.
