Micro SD cards?

[Q] I might get smashed for this one, I currently have a 4gb memory card and I'm wana go get a 8gb or maybe even a 16gb. What brand, what type, what speed, n stuff works best with Zio? (Could the one I have now be the problem with YouTube freezing for 30-45sec after every 8-11sec of playing?) Thanks in advance .....

"Now I'm so broke I can't even pay attention!!"

Class4 and above work best with any smartphone.
As for brand -- whatever ur flavor is.

!!!SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!
I have searched the forms for an answer and was unable to find anything that would help!
I lost all my apps to my sd card by just unmounting my sd card and now I can't get any of them back! When I go to my installed application list and click on apps2sd all of the apps that I have on my sdcard are there. They are dark grey! My Zio won't let me do anything with them!
I have very important info stored on my app's! And I don't want to lose any of the progress that I have made on any of my games!
It won't even let me put my apps back on my phone!
If anyone has an answer or knows where I can find it PLEASE HELP!

You need to check your sdcard on a PC to see if you nerfed it or not.
You can easily nerf your sdcard by not unmounting it before removing it from your phone.
And yes... Please,, if you have an issue, dont start spamming random threads, its not very becoming..

[Q] 3 Storage areas????

ok so this is a simple question i know but conflicting topics have made me post this
i have 1gb system memory
5gb phone memory
29gb of sdcard space
So in short.... WHY CANT I MOVE ANYTHING TO MY ext_SD(the removable one) CARD I HAVE A CLASS 10 32GB SD CARD IM NOT ABLE TO UTILIZE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*UPDATE EDIT=So looks like the culprit is yet again a phone company making mods to android
+1 to Close the open source!! and go back to google phones.. LG, MOTO, HTC, they all just bloat the sh** out of the phone and take away the modding capabilities
so if anyone has any advice on how or what i can move to my 32GB Ext_SD card... please let me know

I have no problem moving all as compatible apps to the as card. Some apps just don't have that option though.

Some of the games and such are adapted to save on sdcard
Look through o3d forum

OK, I have a quasi solution for you I just thought about. /sdcard is internal and /sdcard/_ExternalSD/ is the your transflash card. Most apps are made to save data to /sdcard which does become an issue when some of the kickass games like shadowgun download 250MB plus of data plus all of your roms and media. What you could do, I gather, is move the directories like those game data directories to /sdcard/_ExternalSD/ and then crate a symlink to it with the same name in sdcard. It's probably what I'LLC do when this last GB is gone, lol.

That's a good idea just put them in the extra SD through the computer or if I can move it with astro maybe ill try that
Hopefully at least I can move my roms since they are the biggest space taker

No, he's talking about the external SD card...as in the card that you can pull out that stores your pictures and videos on. When you move an application on this phone to the SD card, it actually moves it to internal SD application storage. This is my second thrill and neither will move apps to the external SD card.
When you click on apps2sd app and move an app watch and see that your external SD card memory doesn't change at all.

You can edit vold.fstab to,switch how the cards are used

Okay. Continue. I'm listening.
I have a 32 gig SD card I bought specifically to be able to move a ton of apps there. I haven't been able to do so and would love to rather than being limited to the 8 gigs on the phone.

Hope this helps

That method did not work, did not even recognize my sd card ("internal" or "external")

I can post that file when I get home tonight and see if anyone can get them edited.

Okay. Just tell me if I'm wrong. What I'm referring to and what I think the OP was referring to was that external SD card that you buy at the store where you store your music and pictures on. The SanDisk.
The other storage is internal storage, then there's system memory.

Cm7 fixes this.

Let me Google that for you

I already did this! I don't want to move them to external usb I want to run them directly from card. All the results are for moving from phone memory to usb storage

Really? The second hit on that list is a link to the Google Play Store for AppMgr III (App 2 SD)
What does that not do that you want?

From the Google Play Store page itself;-
Description
AppMgr (also known as App 2 SD) is a totally new design app that provides the following components:
★ Move apps: moves apps to either internal or external storage for getting more available app storage

Sounds to me like it does exactly what you want - and I used to use this on my old HTC DS for a long time.
Although, to be honest, I'm not entirely sure why you would want to do this on a phone with the internal storage capacity of the 4X, unless you are running multiple huge games - the only likely outcome is to slow the apps down.

[Q] Possible to partition the internal storage

It's probably possible. Not sure if it would be possible for the phone to read both partitions though.

I'm wondering if it already is. If there's pictures on my phone, and I need to reflash it, I would hope they would be saved to another partition so that I don't have to go through and back up all the stuff I want to keep.

There's a difference between the internal memory partition and the emmc. On my wife's NS4G it's the same. Anything on the emmc is not touched and the internal memory is flashed over.

So then there are 2 different storage points in the device, or the main storage is partitioned to be 2? If that's the case, then we should have access to all 32GB of storage, right? I'm pretty sure I'm wrong though.

According to pdadb.net the Sprint 32gb has 2gb of RAM and 29.7gb ROM. I bet around 4gb of that is for OS and Data and the remaining 25gb is accessible as storage.
I've got at least 16gb of music now on my 32gb SD and with backups, ROMs, and pictures have about 2-4gb available at anytime. My photos auto upload to Dropbox so I will probably get in that habit for other files.
I think with Google Play you can stream your cloud stored music to your phone. Does anyone know if there is a way to do that with the HTC Music player in Sense 5?

Probably not through the Music Player on Sense, but I use Google Play Music frequently. I've uploaded all of the music I have to it, and stream everything from there. Really the only stuff I have on my phone otherwise is pictures and a couple movies. And considering I have a 16GB card in my EVO 4G LTE, the additional space won't really worry me.

[Q] Best Way to Backup or Transfer Files?

A couple of days ago my phones free space got down to 1.5GB and I figured I should back it up to free some space. What a pain it turned out to be!
As most of you know we can only transfer as MTP and PTP and I presume this is where most of the problems come from..
1. File identification is slooooww.
2. transfer time literally freezes at the initial transfer to my HDD. making it impossible to drag and drop another set of files
3. I dont believe all of the files were discoverable (aka hidden)
Please post any and all methods/apps/MODS etc. that may help in this kind of process! Thank you.
p.s. I am using Windows 8

I've found it easiest to take out the MicroSD card and put it in an adapter and put it in my laptop or desktop and push files to and from it. Works a TON faster than using the USB cable to the phone.

Assuming everything is on the external SD card.
For anything internal, adb root, then adb pull everything you want. (Make sure the phone is plugged into the original AC charger - it's going to take a while if you pull a lot of files.)
1.5GB left? And I thought I was a software junkie. I still have 23GB free (internal), and there's still loads of stuff I installed to find out why someone was having a problem and haven't uninstalled yet.

For me i only use cabe conection to use odin. For transfearing files i use mmc card reader. Very easy.

Okay. But what if I want to transfer directly from the internal memory? I only just put in an mSD card since the phone got full. Do you push everything from internal to SD then take the SD out and put it in a PC?

So a jailbroken iDevice has better storage capabilities. Dumb. Hopefully usb switcher will update.
