I'm debating on whether to get a 1GB SD card or a smaller size. Besides the obvious such as watching movies and storing MP3s.
What eslse do you guys do with your 1GB SD card?
dumping maps on it for tomtom for instance
Install my games, MP3, movies to it.
I have favourite cab files, mp3, movies and audiobooks on mine.
Sooner or later you will fill the 1GB card.
You can never have enough memory!
gps gps gps
maps + maps + maps + maps
or something widh is not larger than 1gb

Besides the fact that you're off topic, I think it's important to keep this forum free from political statements.
Loads of stuff goes on the card. Believe me if you buy smaller, you'll regret it. Go for the 1GB.
TomeRaider and Wikipedia, which takes up over 500 Kb. I love being able to carry the entire wikipedia with me wherever I go!
Even 1GB is tight.
You have to watch which pictures/which maps/which MP3s/which books you install.
It's no Free-For-All!
With 1GB, you have manage your memory carefully.
It's not like the old days!
Depending on what you're storing. I have my MP3s, movies, data files (pocket word, Excel, PDFs, pictures).
I'd agree xda-rocks -> you can never have enough memory.
If you can wait .. when the prices drop, pick up a 2GB.. or 1GB x2. Either way, i only had my 1GB card for 3 weeks, running out of space already
movies... songs... all sort of stuff...
storage and memory are never enuff
ebooks.... thousands of ebooks
and music, and pictures. i have the camera save all the pictures and video to the gig card
Well hell, IF I had a 1gig storage card, I would use it to store 3 days of backups, that would round to about 180mb. then use the rest for movies, music, and file sharing when I have my webserver running on my BA at the hot spot.
PS. if you get a card that large, invest in a usb card reader on your main computer. Makes life that much easier.
cheers
how do you organize it all? is there a program you use to organize the program installations?
i use it first to store 3 backup files (3 weeks' worth), a whole bunch of movies, games, data files, and programs. have to agree, you can't have enough memory =)
the backup files really are essential. and i usually make sure i have at least 2 of them on hand, in case the latest one is unstable.

I have a 1GB 66x SD card, with the i-mate ROM update and WMP10. I now sync to "Napster To Go" and have a great little media center.
Also store TomTom maps, all additional software is installed to the SDcard too.
As soon as I find a 2GB 66x card, i'll get one of those.
I have recently got a 2G card with my Navigon 5 Update
So I store normally a 250Mb Card of Germany, now for Holidays I stored a 1Gig card of Europe on it, removed some MP3s and of course have 3 or 4 Weeks of Weekly Fullbackups (sprite backup) on it.
So I have normally over 1Gig of MP3s on it , one map for navigon and some games and my backups...
Hello All,
Where can I install my apps (Skype, Resco Explorer, Acrobat etc...) to give them the fastest loading time whilst not tieing up valuble resources for playing movies and audio?
I'm sure some of you have done some tests. Any results would be great.
I have o2 XDA Mini S with 2gb san disk SD.
Thanks
Ben
Generally, I would recommend to have all small programs to be installed in the memory and have large program/data to be in the SD card.
I've got a HTC TyTN and a 6GB MicroSD memory card.
I was taking photos with the internal cam, I’ve set the camera to stores the photos on the MicroSD card. The card was filled with 2GB of music files. This is the problem I’ve experienced.
The camera indicates its possible to store 0 photo’s on the MicroSD card. When i delete a few music files, I had around 1700MB stored in use on the card. Now its possible to store more than 300 photos (in 3MPX format) on the card.
Is this a bug, because I had more than 4GB free space left. Could someone test this?
Believe it or not this might be a directory limitation. I had the same problem before with my O2 xda IIs. I put every single thing in the root directory.
I forget what the limit was, but as soon as I sorted my content and added them to subdirectories that I created - the problem was solved. Try that.
Thanks will test this out. I have some tomtom maps in de root, maybe thats the issue.
same problem here...4110MB free and only 27 pics to go!
I added a 700MB xvid movie on my storage card and now i've got 2000 pictures to go again. I think there is some kind of limitation. The card is filled for 2500MB now.. so there is enough room voor the photos
Will try that tonight
hmmm, i think i know what the problem is: if the camera reads the free disk space the old way (32bits) the maximum free space correctly reported is 2 or 4G depending on the signed / unsigned type (remember the old problem windows had with files > 2G ?).
Thats what i thought in the first place.. thats why i posted it on the forums ;p.. maybe somebody had a fix for this issue.
just did put 309MB of MP3 on it and i got now 7363 pics to take...so thanks very much
I got xperia Z with 16 GB of internal Memory. I have downloaded 6 games like Dark khight rises, Amazing Spider man, Max payne Back stab.

Please help how can i play games installing the Games in External memory.
Install app2sd it allows you to move apps to the sd

app2sd doesn't work on xz
I installed app2sd and it didn't work, subsequently read a thread that said it's because of the way sony configured the internal memory, not a problem with the app.
You can change where music, downloads, video and photos are saved, from internal card to external card, via various settings.
But I think you'll find apps have to be installed to the internal card and run from there.
Unless one of the talented xda developers has already created a mod to overcome the problem
EDIT

hi guys.... i bought note 5 32gb .... but this is horrible without microSD....
yes i know we can save our images and videos on wireless Hard drive and cloud storage....but what about applications and games... can i some how change location of my apps and games data; like we used to do in sd cards?
what about changing a destination of camera saving directory?:crying:
thanks a lot
Honestly, I would root the device, install a custom rom. Take out all bloat ware and save all pics and music to a cloud based storage. Apps and games would be saved to internal memory unless you don't mind carrying around the external sd card.
