Has anyone successfully managed to move the Inbox to the Storage Card yet?
The usual registry hacks that have worked on several previous devices don't seem to be working on the HD2.
It is quite happy to let me move attachments to the Storage Card through Inbox-Options but as soon as I hack the registry to set 'PropertyPath' to move the Inbox and reboot, I end up with a folder in main memory called 'Storage Card' and the actual Storage Card renamed 'Storage Card2'.
If memory serves, this can happen where the card is slow to be mounted, but I'm puzzled why it will happily send attachments to the card and then throw a hissy fit when I ask it to do the same with mail.
Was the issue of the speed of mounting the card ever solved anywhere else? Can't find it if it was!
Any help gratefully received.
Bump...
Has anyone tried moving their Inbox to the Storage Card? Someone must have, surely?
A simple yes it works/no it doesn't would be very helpful - at least I'd know whether it was worth trying to find a solution
Thanks in anticipation
Still keen to know whether anyone has successfully managed to move their mail store to the Storage Card.
Also, has anyone managed to turn off autolock? I don't want to have to enter a pin every time my device wakes. I have tried tweaks and reg hacks and neither seems to give me the behaviour I want/expect
I appreciate that there are differences between Manila and Sense, but surely the underlying registry entries can't be that different? Many of the expected keys exist but they are just ignored by the device - odd.
Or is it just me...?
unfortunately you are right.
I experience the same issues in trying to redirect pictures I shoot to storage card\My Documents\My Pictures.
Like you say there appear to be some differences here and there.
I'm looking but I hope somebody with some more knowledge finds it fast

Hi Gustopher, how and where did you do that? I am unable to find where to tell the HD2 to put attachments on the Storage Card even after days of searching for it, resulting in less and less storage on the device, even when all mail and messages have been removed.
Thanks in advance.
Crazy...
Edit : O.k. just found it . . . . . . duh, what a good night rest can do for ya.
Another week's worth of XDA brains on this since first posting, so worth a revist:
Has anyone managed to get their mail onto the storage card?
The few who have responded so far seem to see the same issues as I did, but is this the case across the board?
If there is indeed a problem, does anyone have any bright ideas how we can fix this?
(Or is everyone too busy saying how much they love/hate the HD2 and how they are going to shag it/return it??)
Hi
Given the small amount of storage memory this is an important issue. I haven't tried it but was going to use Sktools to do it. Will try later. Hope it an be resolved.

I am pretty sure you won't get any joy through SKTools - I have already responded to someone else who'd tried it and wondered why they had a renamed Storage Card.
I just had a go through Memmaid - I was also looking at the possibility of changing some startup items to give the card a chance to load - but wound up having to hard reset.
It's a bugger, to be sure. I am increasingly convinced that the card is slow to load, but what to do about it...?
I would also like some assistance in getting this resolved. Has anyone been successful here??

Find the Email icon in the main start menu (or it may be in a subfolder depending on your rom). Open it and the 'select an account' screen will open. Hit MENU, OPTIONS, go across to the STORAGE tab and tick the box that says 'When available, use the storage card to store attachments.'
After a loading icon all attachments existing and in the future will be stored on the card. You will notice an increase in available memory on the device immediately.
I assume this is what you meant, if not I don't know the solution!
i have an idea to a solution

This isn't the preferred method because it creates a folder with an encrypted name. Also, it does not move the mail, just the attachments. But, it's better than nothing.
Generally, I want to save the mail and attachment in my desired path on the SD card.
As the OP stated, all the old methods don't work.
I addressed this problem in this thread, due to the order the hardware starts up after a reset i doubt you will find a solution to this problem without rewriting the email software not to start untill the SDcard has been powered/detected
The notification bar says low on space and under that it says phone storage is getting low. The sd card and the internal storage still have a lot of space left. can someone tell me what this means and how i can fix it?
P.S. the voice recognition on this thing is great .
EDIT: sorry i didn't look to see that there are other topics about this. I should have searched ( or looked through the first page lol). Please lock this thread.

I have 1.84gb on the sdcard and 9.17gb internal and 191mb application space. No way am i even close to running out of space.
I have one of the earlier versions of Lag Fix installed, and im also rooted. can anyone help?
What makes you think you are "running out of space"? Are you getting an error message of some sort?
Yes i am. It wont let me install anyting and its not syncing gmail and im not getting text messeges.
Just FYI alot of times questions can be answered if you use the search button.
i just asnwered this question in the Q&A forums
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=747
And that was answered in a previous thread by me

After deleting the bloated Contacts i haven't gotten the error (i was sure to export the list from Google prior to deleting it) Also removing the Facebook Apps ability to sync and only leaving stock brought back the Contacts facebook updates.

thank you, however its not saying anything about the database, instead its saying "internal Phone storage is getting low". Not database.

Can you use ADB or ShootMe to take screen shots of the error message then?
i dont have nither installed, so no. it wont let me install anything. It says "Internal phone storage is getting low".
Lol! I am getting the same message about space getting low. It says "Internal phone storage is getting low. "
I also have lag fix applied and guess how much app space I have remaining?
That's right, 191MB.
It is clearly referring to app space and not SD storage.
Not sure what to do.

Don't some of the lag fixes cause this?
Don't use such a large container for the loopback filesystem. The phone will show that message when that partition drops to about 300mb free iirc. The versions that used 1gb seem to avoid this issue, it's when they tried to go to 1.5gb or so that it started up.
Or use a partition on the external sd and don't have the problem.
There's also the new voodoo lag fix that should be out soon, we hope. That will fix it properly and remove the busted rfs file system entirely.
This happen to me when installing a lag fix, back your files then enter.recovery delete all personal data after restore your apps but dont install the lag fix.

Before anyone asks, yes I did search the forum and didn't quite find any thread with my answer, hence my posting..
I just got a warning that my phone's internal storage is low. So, I was looking at the Android System Info App and it is showing only 53M of storage capacity remaining. I then was browsing through my apps and there's no way that there is that much storage being used, so what is taking up all of this space and more importantly, how can I find out? I tried looked around in astro and root explorer and I cannot find anything obvious.
Any suggestions or has anyone run into the same problem? I have around 115 apps installed....maybe less than that.
Thanks for any suggestions or thoughts..
::EDIT::
Looking in Root Explorer under /system/app it says:
184.75MB used, 167.88MB free....
So, its not the apps...Any thoughts? thanks again.
Try DiskUsage, from Market
DiskUsage provides a way to find files and directories on storage card which consume a lot of space.
It displays diagram on which directories are displayed proportional to their size, also a few levels of subdirectories are displayed.

Are you using the stock email app? If so, delete data in settings - applications - email. It stores a lot of data. Try it.

[Q] Keep getting "Internal Storage Space Left" messages-is something being installed?
I noticed that after hitting a certain remaining storage space threshold in Galaxy/android phones, I get an "Internal Storage Space Left: xx GB" everytime I install or update something. That's ok, don't really care about that.
However, starting a few weeks ago, I keep getting this message periodically, multiple times a day, without me explicitly installing or updating anything. Has this happened to anyone else? Is this normal? Any way to find out what's getting installed or updated (if that is what's happening)? When this first started happening, I also got a decline/accept pop-up box asking me if I wanted Google to verify apps (which led me to believe something is being installed). I unchecked the "verify apps" checkbox under security settings so that pop-up no longer shows, but the "Internal Storage Space Left" message I get is still annoying. Thanks.

Your phone consistently creates cache in the /cache partition, or your apps are probably updating their content (Gmail, RSS Readers, Facebook, Vine, Instagram, etc).
You should check your data usage and see whether it was downloading anything behind your back.

Thanks for your feedback, appreciate it. Do you know of any easy way (or better yet, apps that do this) to monitor in real time, what gets installed and/or written to the install area of your storage? This way, whenever I see the "Internal Storage Space Left" message, I can quickly investigate what was just installed/written to my phone? When I'm playing music or watching youtube, whenever this message comes up, the audio freezes up for a second and it's getting really annoying now, aside from the fact that I don't want unknown stuff getting installed on my phone anyway. Thanks!

I'm not sure, but I use Clean Master or SD Maid and they do the job just fine when cleaning up files on your phone. Maybe you should try those instead of preventing anything else from being added, so that when things get added you won't get a prompt when your phone is already cleaned out anyways

Thanks for your reply! Actually, found a simple solution, don't know why I didn't think of this before. As soon as it happened again, I noted the time on the phone clock, then I went into my "root explorer" app and sorted the folders by time. I drilled down into the most recently modified folders and found a file that was modified at the exact same time noted above. It was the samsung gear fit app (or something to that effect) - don't know why I had installed it as I don't own any of the samsung gear accesssories. I deleted the app and the auto-install/updates stopped happening.
