I want to move my cache to the microSD card but I only have a 1GB Transcend that came with the G1. SDHC cards have speed class ratings but the 1 & 2GB do not.
Anyone know how fast the 1GB is?
why do you worry about it? you wont have a huge amount of data on it

Someone made a comment in another thread that you should use a class 6 card for cache. I want to make sure the 1GB card is fast enough.
I think class 6 is SDHC only. But I could be wrong. Either way you shouldn't have cache on your G1

And why would you NOT want to cache all your programs from the phone to the SD card? I personally like being able to have 200 programs from the market instead of 5. Plus less problems with my K-9 email program.

1 GB cache is going to be a pain to keep care of. Especially with your 200 programs.

Yes, speed classes are only on SDHC cards, like I said in my first post. SDHC are 4GB and higher SD cards.

How so? I'm curious because I've never done this before.

1GB is not a lot. And the G1 will not clear the cache if it is on the SDCard. So once 1GB is full... you have to delete your own cache.

I thought Android automatically manages cache and memory ?
1GB is more than whats on the G1 now, right I'm looking for a good deal on a 8GB class 6 microSDHC. I'm just curious about the 1GB because I didn't root my phone yet and may just hold out until I get a 8GB card.
it manages the cache on the phone... not on the SD Card.
I think you should reread everything and hold out till the 8GB

Now, I could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time, but if you're using symbolic links to move caches, it wouldn't care whether or not the files were on the phone or on the SD card, and would therefore still manage them as it normally would.

The way that it would manage them is by deleting the cache folder itself which, in the case of having them all on your SD card, would mean that the symlink is deleted.
I ordered a 32Gb SD Card for my HD2. But, I finally got a quality Android build going on my little 2 gigger. Everything works 99.9%. . . I did not think it was possible but after 2 days of tweaking and scowering threads I have one(I can share it if you like).
If I copy all files from my 2Gb card I can drop then straight on the 32Gb card after formatting.
Is there any issues with this at all?
I really hope not, since I have been working on this for pretty much two days straight.
You should be able to copy it over with out any issues. Just be sure to format your new card beforehand

I just got a class 4 Kingston 32gb microsd... I think that's the highest class 32gb available so far that's legitimate.
Anything that can read a 16gb card will be able to read a 32gb card... they're all sdhc. I don't think cards bigger than 32gb will be able to be made, though.

If you think logically, yeah ofc 32gb shouldnt be a problem O.O
well there is 64gb on his way to micro SD HC (2gb+ = HC -->High Capacity)
they're also making 2TB micro XC ( eXtended Capacity),, O.O
2TB!!! xD
my pc got 2TB, imagine 2tb in that micro sd,, WTF O.O!!!!

Are they making a 64gb sdhc? I thought I read somewhere that 32gb was the limit for sdhc. I know sdxc will be able to hold huge amounts, but unfortunately our hd2s can't use sdxc. That would be great if 64gb sdhc is made, because eventually a micro-sdhc version will be made. 64gb storage for my hd2 would be awesome... I could keep my entire music collection in that, along with my ebook and comic book collection!

Dude as far as I know Kingston do not make a 32GB sd card yet so you have likely bought one of those cheap fake ones of somewhere like ebay from a Chinese seller that is actually only 4/8/16GB and will just corrupt most of data as soon as you get to the "real" size limit.
A lot of people have been fooled by these fake cheap cards (myself included in past)
Kingston does make a 32GB microSDHC card.

I wouldn't buy a memory card from eBay... especially not for a 32gb card. I bought it from newegg. And you should maybe do a quick Google search before claiming to know something, because Kingston made announcements about these class 4 32gb cards a couple months ago.

To expand on this (since I am still new to HD2 and Android), if I wanted to change SD Cards, or try out a new ROM, all I have to do is make sure the Android folder is copied over?
Example 1: New SD Card - Format new card, copy all files, will boot into current Android ROM.
Example 2: Same SD Card, want to try a new Android build, backup the Android folder, replace with new ROM and boot up, if I don't like it, delete new Android folder and replace with backed up one and will boot back into old Android build without issues?
Thanks,
Yes!
And same for kernel ( zImage if is compress, and ussualy it is ) inside Android folder

I did learn one thing the hard way. Doing this while booted into Android is not really a safe way to do it. When I backed up my Android folder and put a new one on, it would not boot back into Android (said no Android Build was found). Looked at my SD card on the device and in a PC and the space was used up (for both builds) but could not find them.
I ended up backing up my SD Card contents I COULDD see (pics and whatnot) and formatting the card.
I copied it on the SD Card via Adapter in PC and everything is fine now.
I would suggest (for safety), that you do it this way or from WMo.
Thanks,
Well, this is wonderfull. First SD card I ordered was from eGay. 13 Bucks for a 32Gb. Right after I bought it, the seller cancelled their eGay account and dissapered.
I bought another card now a 16 Gigger for 26 Bucks.
Seems to be fake. I copy over the info and then I can not read anything. . . .
Crap, should have spent the extra 10 Bucks. Now, I have to get my money back from GayPal.
eGay really does suck now. . . . .
Hello Dell streakers.. I am planing to buy a used streak and was going thru various threads for streak development and stumbled upon a theard about upgrading streaks inner-SD from 2gb to 4gb. And then i searched youtube for any video regarding the same and found this video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6w4AbtIGp8A&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Is it realy safe to install inner sd like its done in the above video? Also i have two 16gb sd cards so is it possible to install both in this this device? Or maybe one 64gb card?Just curious...
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
That's one of the common ways to do it, if the video does what I think it does (only watched a couple seconds)
Method 1: Cut away the plastic covering the innersd, as there isnt that much
Method 2: Completely disassemble/reassemble the device, which is a huge amount of work.
Method 2 also must be repeated every swap, method 1 doesnt, but is a permenent change.
I know the S5 will accept a 4/8gb one without much issue.
16/32gb I dont recall, they may have issues.
A 64 one would be an SDXC, can you see the entire card in SDHC compability mode?
the answer is YES, is safe to install another card. I use the same method like in the video and i replace the card with 8gb class 10 from Kingstone.
Did in half an hour or so with the disassembly method upgraded to 8 Gb with 6Gb remaining internal memory. Get a 8Gb class 10. Mine is a trancend ultimate. Tried a kingston 16Gb class10 but the phone didn't recognize it. Perhaps the transcend 16 will work as well as 8Gb version. Mind you the phone does a fscheck on startup so the larger the card is the longer it takes to start up. It took about 30% more time for the 8Gb to start up as it did with the 4Gb class4 stock card from sony.
Grts.

You need to do something to the card to get it to accept more than 8 gigs, though I don't remember what. It is perfectly safe. A hell of a lot safer than taking the entire phone apart, risking ESD, etc. Though, my cut wasn't as clean as that. Lol.
Allright!!
Seems like this method actually feels less risky then opening the whole phone apart.. I remember how i messed up my sony vaio ux while upgrading the internal 32gb HDD with 128gb HDD..
Allright then.. btw i found information about how to enable innersd more then 8gb. Theres some sort of script and editing in boot file.
Thanks for the responses guys..

Me too. I was actually more worried that I'd slip with the knife and ruin the phone. It was dead simple to disassemble the Streak - I went slowly and carefully the first time, but in the end, it was simple.
the question is : does it makes you're streak faster to or is it just more storage?

It gave me more storage, and actually slowed down my Streak. Trying both a 4gb and 8gb card, I ended up with a lot of pauses and slowdowns just doing basic operations with my Streak. It was nice to have the extra space, but it made the phone way less usable.
I went back to the stock card.
I put in a Sandisk 8gig class 4 sd card and the streak feels snappier than before. The stock sd card is a 2gig class 4 card.

Opening the Streak up? I did that a couple times, I'm not sure how you'd break the inner SD card doing that.
I got fed up with it though and finally just cut the plastic. It was a little nerveracking, but I managed not to damage anything (just some scratches on the outside of the original inner SD card). 8gig CL10 and I'm laughing now, everything seems to work fine.
im using assembling /disassembling ( tear down the streak ) to replace my innerSD.
using 4GB class 6 now. it can use more than 8GB (like 16 or 32 or higher)
but you need to copy your old inner to the new one and resize the partition.
after that, it would work like a charm. you no need to re-install your ROM

copy your old inner partition to the new one using free software that you can find with googling. i use minitoolpartitionwizard for this things.
after that you must enlarge the partition on your new inner (the copied data/partition that you must enlarge) using partition tools hirenbootCD (i use ver10)
then insert your new inner sd and try..
for DSC ROM if i am not wrong it only support max 16GB. but theoretically it can be no limit.
try my method... check the signature (no need googling )... 64gb is possible but sorry.. no fat32 supports right now...
I have just moved from the Galaxy S2 across to the brand new S4, and so far it seems great. A really beautiful phone and generally pretty happy.
BUT.....
When I was using the S2, it was a snap to move apps and files across from the phone storage to the SD Card storage. Well, I am stumped as to how to do this with the S4!!!?? It doesn't seem rational to me to have a phone that will allow you to expand the storage with an SD Card, but then not allow you to actually move anything across. That's like Woolworths giving you a shopping trolley and then not allow you to put anything in the trolley?? That is nuts.. So it must be me...
Could anyone out there please give me a heads up on how to move apps across to the SD Card? I only have 16 gig in phone storage and that is getting eaten up real quick with apps and bloatware, so I really need to be able to use the 32 gig SD card I have installed.
Thanks in advance...

The option was removed since Jelly Bean unfortunately.
That's exactly the reason why I don't understand their choice of releasing a 16GB version (of which only 9GB remain usable).
I bought the 32GB S3 for this reason, and I'm waiting for the 32GB version of the S4 as well, if they ever decide to release it.
If you root your device, there are still options like DirectoryBind, but they aren't perfect, and I think we shouldn't have to mess with stuff like that on a flagship device.
Directorybind is broken at the moment. The app foldermount however is very close to fixing this issue.
The developer is working very hard on getting it fixen and is almost there (he's using my phone for debugging)
It seems that samsung has fuzzled it up themself. Not Google.
If you are rooted there still ain't no way to move files to the external sdcard. But it won't be long till that's fixen and that's the good news!

Thanks for that info. I didn't think it was a Jelly Bean issue because the S2 received the JB upgrade and it was still able to transfer to the ext SD card. But obviously it is different for the recent phones. But I don't get it?? Why make a phone that can expand storage through an ext SD Card and then restrict the transfer of apps to that storage?? Is it me or is that a little crazy??

No problem.
I don't get it either.
The microSD slot is great, but advertising it as a replacement of the internal memory is wrong (so many people seem to think they can have a 80GB phone if they add the microSD to their 16GB phone, but don't know the limitations).
32GB should be the minimum internal memory for a 2013 flagship device.

I'm using Android Tuner Free to move big apps (eg games like Deadspace ) across to the SD card. Free app, go into App Mgr, select the app you want to move, click the manage button, choose the move button, select SD-Link. It's working fine for me so far...
The foldermount app should work now on the galaxy s4! Go to his xda topic where you can get the latest version! Yay
You also have to reinstall apps if you want to update them, since the app will not be scripted to support the bind when installing.

Best way to describe the issue is when I take a photo the end result is a the photo obscured by a grey box. I have changed for now all my photos to be stored on my phone device and then I move manually to my SD card. I am not sure why this happened only started a couple of days ago. If I try to upload a photo to FB it says it is not a correct piece of media also I have noticed apps are disappearing from my device and i think these are apps that were stored on the SD card... Could the SD card be corrupt? it is a 64GB card I am running all stock software apart from Nova Launcher (free version) and using DCikonz for icon... I've not had any issue and I have had the SD card for months now.
You are right. My cousin had same problem. Your SD is corrupted. He changed it and he is happy now :highfive:
