I posted a question about Gmail not being to download attachments on the Captivate due to the fact that Gmail says there is no internal SD card. Additionally, Beautiful Widgets needs access to the internal SD card as well and doesn't see it. I can't download from the Android Marketplace either. I have found others who are having this same problem over at Android Forums.
I don't what the fix is, but those having issues with not being able to download apps and such may want to look at this.
AT&T didn't have an answer and is exchanging the phone.
If anyone is having similar issues and has found an answer, could you let me know. I hope this isn't going to be a big issue with the Captivate.

any help, whether you know the answer or can direct me to where I might find my answer is appreciated.
thanks.....
Hi all,
I just bought a used Nexus one recently. I have yet to activate it with T-Mobile.
I've been reading up on the Nexus one but still have questions that I can't seem to find the answer to even though I have searched through this forum and others.
If you guy/gals can help me out I'd appreciate it. I apologize if a certain question has been asked many times but I did try and search first......FLAME SUIT ON!!!....
Here's the stats on my phone:
Android 2.2
Kernal : 2.6.34.1 - cyanogenmod [email protected] toxygene #1
mod version: cyanogenmod 6.0.0-n1-rc2
Build #: FRF91
1 - Tethering - do I just need to go under settings and enable tethering hotspot? is there a default name I would look for when scanning on my macbook for the network?
2 - voice action - I got the phone about a week or two before they announced the voice action feature. would my phone have it or do I need to update the software, if so, how? where would the functions be to activate and deactivate voice action on the phone?
3 - android market - since the phone is modded, can I still download apps from the android market or do I have to get it from aftermarket spots like pandaapp and such?
4 - sync - I have a macbook. what would I sync the phone to? I saw an app on pandaapp called PC Suite. Is that what I would download to sync my info to? I have already downloaded Double Twist which should take care of syncing my music, videos and photos.
5 - micro SD card - what's on it? are my contacts stored there or the SIM? I talked to a T-Mobile rep and he said that all the new android phones have contacts on SD card and not SIM anymore. He said the older phones have it on the SIM and some reason the new ones can't be put on the SIM so that I would need to sync it or back it up some other way....true?? I'm asking also because I have the 4GB card now and would like to upgrade to a 16GB card while my phone is new to me with less data. What would I need to do to move the info over to a new SD card? I think I remember reading that the ROM and all that was on the SD card. I saw a post today on the Nexus General forum asking about the SD card too but it did not fully answer what I need to know.
6 - mod version and kernal : is it good for now or should I update it to the RC3 or to another whole mod version? if so, please link me to easiest instructions for a DIY. Though I have read some good things about my setup. I just want something stable and awesome....
7 - forum - besides this forum, what other ones do you like to check up on about our phone or android in general? or is this the one and only.....
I think that's all the questions I have for now. I would love to know the answers to these questions and be able to upgrade my SD card asap so that I can activate my phone with T-Mobile already.
Thanks.

1. Just turn on the hotspot. I forget it's name.
2. Update Voice Action through the market
3. Use the market.
4. Not sure any app will sync your personal info. That's all synced in the Google cloud.
5. Saved on internal storage not SIM or SD.
6. Update to RC3
7. His is the only forum worth reading. Everything else is late to the game or a repeat of here.

1. basically, just go to settings, wireless and networking, tethering and portable hotspot, and then, you can set your name for the wireless tethering (the name which you will look for in you laptop)
2.voice action is like voice search, you have to update the app manually, there are tutorials in android developement or themes and app. i forgot which one is it.
3. you can download apps from market like usual. nothing changes.
4. unfortunately, i never sync my pc with my n1. so i can't help you with that.
5. well. the contacts (at least mine) is synced with your google account, not with your memory card.
6. i see you already using CM 6 RC2. so if you want to update to RC3. you just have to download the rom, put it in your SD card, go to recovery(turn off your phone, then press and hold volume up when you turn it on. pick recovery with your volume up/down button, then use power button to "click" it), in recovery, do nandroid backup, and then flash zip from memory card.
7. i also visited android.modaco.com it's really a good site. if you want to know about news or updates on android, you can visit talkandroid.com, androidcentral.com, phandroid.com, there are a lot of sites like that.
i hope it answers all your questions. try to look at android developement sub forum. it worth the time to browse the forum.

1 - thanks
2 - i found the post. it's in the themes and apps. it says if you have adb, plug into usb and run. what is that and how do i know if i have it?
if i don't then i need to use the terminal emulator. from what i have read, is that what you download from the android market? is this all tough to do?
3 - thanks
4 - so how do you keep all your pics and stuff? i guess I'll have to search some more or post a thread just asking about syncing and see what everyone does for syncing.
5 - hmmm....i guess i'll have to search some more on this one too. that would be strange that contacts are not saved anywhere on the phone.
6 - thanks for the instructions. if I have any problems....you might just get a PM from me.... but i'll also search for guides too if anything.
is it worth updating it from RC2 to RC3? what are the pros and cons?
7 - thanks for the sites. i'll take a look at them too.
oh I have another question. what do I need to do to get flash 10.1? just through the android market?
thanks.

1 - thanks....found it and where to rename it.
2 - so i can update this thru the market and not HAVE to do it manually?
3 - thanks
4 - i will do some more searching about this just in case. thanks
5 - is there a way to see this file somehow to ...maybe back it up or something besides using google sync or something like that. if not, does this mean that if i were to maybe lose my phone i would be screwed and lose my contacts unless i were to do google sync or cloud?
6 - is it really worth it? what are the pros and cons? what's new on the RC3 over the RC2?
7 - thanks. i figured but I just like reading other forums too and to meet more people that share out enthusiam.....
I have another question. what do i need to do to get/update flash 10.1 since my phone is modded? same as stock phones?
I'm replying on a phone so I can't go and number them and stuff.
Contacts ARE stored on the phone and synced and backed up and stored on your gmail contacts. As long as you are using the gmail app, your contacts are synced. If you reset your phone, after u sign in to Google on the phone, all your contacts, mail, calendar are downloaded.
You can back up the contacts using apps u can download if you want.
New Voice Search, you can download/update it from the market. But since you're on RC2, you'll prolly get errors.
Best thing to do is download and update CyanogenMOD6 ROM, make sure to download the updated Google add-on pack too, it has the new voice search along with other Google apps.
If you're going to change SD cards, just copy everything from your old one to the bigger one.
Your pictures are stored on the SD card.

Hi everyone,
I just purchased the Samsung Galaxy S (i9000M) on the Bell network in Canada and I am new to droid and need assistance please. Everything is stock and non-rooted (I dont even know what that means or does)... LOL!!!
Forgive me if this is covered somewhere already but I upgraded from my Samsung Omnia WM6.1 Pro and I am not used to the droid lingo, etc.
I am looking to find out how you install apps, music, video, etc to the "external sd" card as I am used to my Omnia asking me what location I want to install items to and I dont seem to have this option on this phone (unless Im dumb and blind).
Can you install apps, music, video, etc directly to the external card? If not, Can you move them from the internal memory to the external card? If so... How? If this cannot be done at all then may I ask ... What is the external sd card for?
Thanks for your help...
yiannisthegreek
Does no one here know or is no one willing to help?
You can't right now. Android 2.2 adds the install to SD functionality, but right now everything goes to the internal SD.
External SD card is for basically music and video or app backups right now.
Ahhhh... I see... Then I guess my next question would be... How do you put your music, videos, eto onto the external sd card? I am SOOOO used to Windows active sync and so dont really know what to do here.
Can you advise on this by chance?
Thanks a bunch...

I was just trying out Honeycomb and found some weird issues.
First and most disturbing question is, Why is my 16GB SD card now recognized as 128 MB SD card in everything I put it in? Is there a fix for this? I would love to have the full 16 GB accessible since being able to dual boot would be the best of both worlds.
I can now do ADB which I could not do before but now I cannot access the Nook through USB. With a Autonootered 1.1 it was the opposite. <--not really a question.
Also, when if every will there be a full Android Market? With Autonootered 1.1 it was extreamly limited and would only show the top 10 results even when it said there were about 150 or so results. With Honeycomb it shows all of the results the Market says it found. There are still a lot of apps missing from the market. I only see free ones. Some of my other research found that the full market is only available to phones with 3g or only certain phones.
Thanks in advance.
You need to reformat your sd. Do it using another android phone or do it in a pc. Reformat to the full size. There are two cwr flashes, a big one and a small one. It sounds like you used the smaller one

Found the question on about page 95 (posted by Breakthecycle2) and found a cryptic answer on page 99 (by donhu) of the Honeycomb preview image thread.
Here is a boiled down guide
Download EASEUS Partion Manager
Install it and open it
With the SD card in your computer it should show up along with your computer's HD.
Select the SD card. You will see all of the partitions of the SD card.
What you want to do is to select the SD Card partition
Right click and select resize/move then drag the right hand side to make it as big as you want.
This shows up as SD card on the File manager and you can now use it to store what you want.
Hope this helped
With Interop Unlock, there's any chance to install or move apps on SD cards?
Currently testing this out. Games won't work too well on an SD card unless you own a class 10
Could you post which registry key to change to install on SD?
Its not simply a registry key.
It's not even about wether it is class 10 or not. WP7 devices had huge problems with their internal SD cards due to the fact that the random access time was terrible. The SD card class tells you only about transfer rate though.

yep. random access is worse on most (big) class 10 cards afaik
It should be possible. You might have to install the app on your phone. Create the directory on the SD card and move the files to the SD card. And find a way to redirect all entries from the phone to the SD card. Access time shouldn't be a big factor, because windows phone apps load into the phones memory. This is all speculation though. I don't think you can install from the store to the phone. Unless there's a way to change the install path of apps in the registry. Again, all speculation.

Access time was a huge issue with SD cards on WP7. And it was "supported" there. I don't assume it would have become less of an issue on an OS that does NOT support it.

I've got the same thought recently. If it would be possible to create a junction link in Phone\Data\programs, then it should work, cause windows doesn't really "know" that junctions are only links, it handles this as a directory...
on a "normal" Windows it must be a shell command like
mklink /j C:\Data\programs\{GUID from App} D:\{copy of the entire GUID-App-Directory from C:\Data\programs}
sorry for my "poor" description, but maybe someone got an idea...?
You all are missing a really critical problem: apps (unless they have ID_CAP_PUBLIC_FOLDER_FULL or similar) cannot actually access the SD card (ID_CAP_REMOVABLESTORAGE goes through an out-of-process RPC service; the app itself still can't access the card). Trust me, moving an app's binaries and data files to a location that the app cannot access does *not* end well (in related news, I can't launch Calculator on my phone anymore).
Oh, by the way, symlinks require some registry tweaks (in HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem) to work. Otherwise, you get these nasty and useless error messages about the link being "disabled" if you try to do anything with it (creating it works, but not much else). This probably won't affect hardlinks or junctions, though.
Hey everyone, I just got my M8 today and absolutely LOVING IT! One issue I am having that I would like some insight to if anyone knows. I am using es file explorer and I have wallpapers downloaded from Zedge, now I try transferring them from Internal storage to sd card and it never goes through! I've also tried moving a music file I use as a ringtone and it does the same thing. Can we not transfer to ex sd card from on the device? Do we need a computer for this? Seems odd to me. Thanks for any help!!

I think this has something to do with the new KitKat policy limiting how storage be manipulated by the apps installed on your phone. The short explanation would be that apps only are permitted read/write access to the folders they are installed into. Programs like File Explorers are therefore incapable of actually doing file operations because the other areas of the internal and external storage are "out of bounds".
I'm sure its way more complicated than that, but someone smarter than I would have to step in to really lay out all the reasons this is how things work on KitKat. It is a bit frustrating, but from what I understand, it was a security measure put in place by Google. Custom roms/kernels will no doubt remove this restriction.
Hope that helps!
