Android :: Seems Like Nothing Is Getting Stored On SD Card?
Aug 5, 2010
My guess is that there is an advantage to having many things stored on my SD card on my Droid (like freeing up main memory to make sure the speed and efficiency are there).
However, thus far, I have received NO PROMPTS when installing anything (apps, pictures, etc) regarding where I would like things to go. Also, I just pulled up "SD Card and Phone Storage" on my device and it says "SD Card- Total Space 1.86GB, Available Space - 1.86GB" (clearly nothing there!)
Why am I never getting prompted with an option to store things (like photos I transfer from my Desktop) to the SC card?
Can someone walk me through this and also suggest what things SHOULD be going on my SD card to make my device work smoothly?

I have rather annoying SD Card saving question: How do i know if a number is stored on my SD Card? I only ask because i recently got my Droid replaced No worries, nothing really wrong happened to it, just the power on/off button got like stuck, it worked fine just had to push it down kinda weird, anyhow took it in to get looked at and my friend was ill just replace it and get a new one ! he works verizon, so got a new droid ! Anyways, i figured all my numbers were stored on the SD Card, but lo and behold i lost about 2-5 numbers, but the weird thing was, it saved like the name and profile, even the email, but not the number?? So i was wondering if i could see or find out which numbers were stored on the SD Card and which on the phone?

I have an app which stores some files on the SD Card. After several uninstall and install, sometimes, the files just got deleted. Is that normal for android os to do that? What should I do to make sure that those files won't be deleted automatically?

Someone I know is currently in the process of having their Droid (original) replaced because someone installed spyware on it. What I'm looking into right now is whether or not we'll have to wipe the card because of this. Is spyware typically stored on the phone, or the card? I would expect it to be on the phone since that's where Android applications are typically kept, but I want to be sure.

I'm not programming for Froyo yet, I still developing against 1.6 for now. I've been asked to allow my app to be stored on the SD card. Is there a way to add that option to my app? Is it a setting in the manifest?

Has anyone else noticed that in the FroYo ROMS, the entire app is not stored on the SD card? If I click on the SD card tab under 'manage applications' and look at a certain app (Astro, eg.), it only shows that 1.5mb is stored on the SD card. I know for certain that Astro is around 3.5mb. I've experienced this with every FroYo ROM I've had.

I heard that your sms texts are stored on your phone's internal memory and not the sd card. Are there anyways you can back it up to the sd card? or set sms automatically to be stored on the sd card?
btw, does anyone know how to browse the files on the sd card? does eris let you do that? ive tried looking but couldn't figure it out.

Is it possible to have all SMS (text messages) automatically stored to the SD card? I recently had to reflash my ROM and as such have lost all the messages I had stored - about 800 or so from my partner and a few semi-important ones from both work and my basketball coach.

Cannot seem to be able to access apps stored on SD card. Pic of app does not even show up, just a generic picture (Same picture for all apps). At time, after rebooting, the apps are available as they should be. Also, I can download apps when the SD card apps are not available, but they will not install. Running UD8. Anyone have any help? Getting to be very frustrating.

I download a video off of Myxer. It didn't have any sound so I want to delete it. I can't find it ANYWHERE in the files folder of the memory card. And I don't know how to switch it over so I can look in the phone's memory. So my question is where are things I downloaded stored on the phone or memory card? I looked everywhere and can't find it!

Are new applications automatically stored on the memory card? Do all photos/videos go to the memory card by default? What is the max memory this phone can handle? Can photos/videos be renamed? I haven't been able to find an menu setting to do this.

I have a bunch of photos that I took with the phone. I stored them on the phone until I discovered they were not going to my SD card. Is there any way to move those photos from phone storage to the sd card ?

I am saving contacts on my Xperia X10 and am not sure if they are saving to phone or the SIM card? How can u tell where they are being stored? Just now I am going into phonebook and selecting new contact from the sub menu once I hit the key on the left it then displays.
First and Last
Phone Number
Email Address etc.
I take it this will store details to phone memory? Is there a way I can store contact only to SIM card and if so how?

So, the moron at the Verizon store who was activating my replacement Droid decided to import or retrieve contact data from my broken droid / SD card....he didn't know that it handled all the contacts from the cloud. As soon as I entered my gmail login it imported all my contacts and so, now I have contacts with duplicate data and some contacts that are now just phone numbers. I tried deleting the contact data and resyncing but it appears to be grabbing this duplicate data from somewhere. All my contacts are CLEAN in gmail when viewed online. But if I look on the phone, when go to edit them each person has 1 contact with multiple google contacts merged together. The problem is, any time I go to search contacts or enter a contact in email or create a contact shortcut, all of them are appearing twice in the selection list.
I went through each contact and split the merges, essentially deleting the dupes, but they are still appearing multiple times in the search/selection lists....and when I resync the dupes come back. I don't see anything that looks like contact data/backup on the SD card and don't know if that is something that can be deleted from the phone's memory or not?
[I know I can deleted all the dupes, but my concern is that I did this already and they came back. Is this data stored anywhere else that it might be pulling it from again when I sync?]

Do the apps get stored on the internal SD card on the phone? Or on the section where it says Internal phone storage?

My problem is using SharedPreferences. I just created a <PreferenceScreen> which holds inside a <ListPreference> with an array of 5 different values. Very simple! The array of values are different numbers: 1, 2, 5, 10 and 30.Every time I change the setting, the application remembers that and I can see the setting I chose when I access the preferences once again (as an user). Now, in the code, when I retrieve the setting using the key (e.g. getString("delay", default_delay);), I always get the default value, it seems that the SharedPreferences does not find my setting. Can anybody help? I have read about SharedPreferences.getEditor().commit(), but that should be used only when changing settings from the code, not from the UI preferences.

I have tried searching the forums for an answer with no success. I am hoping there is a way of saving "X" amount of G mail emails to the phone rather than them being accessed via a data connection. I recently went on holiday and wanted to access emails that contained flight references etc that I had already received before traveling. However, I didn't want to connect to a Roaming carrier for a connection. Basically, is there a G mail client on the G1 that can store messages?

I have a Droid Continuum and I am wondering where the apps are stored that I download from the marketplace.I checked the downloads folder in my SD card but nothing is there.It is obviously somewhere in the internal files of the phone.But where exactly are the downloaded apps stored? I checked the /data folder and i found nothing there.so it must be somewhere else..If anyone has the answer, it'd be great...I found the system apps, just not the downloaded ones.
