Hello all,
today i bought x10, so i have x1 and moved my micro SD cart to the x10 but i cant find a way to access it, there is tons of stuff on it - folders, films, music, text documents.I am used to windows mobile device so need some help with android.How to access my card?
another thing - how to change the directory when i take a picture where to save it?
there are some "moxier" stuff on the menu wtf are all of them for?
i have a USB stick for internet, when i put the sim card in the phone and try to connect to internet it says there is no connection set up???with all other phones i insert it and just start browsing so whats the problem here?
sooo thats the problems i met so far i will be gratefull if someone can help me.
Firstly download a file manager app... Astro or Linda are both good. That gives you access to your SD card's contents.
The camera takes pictures and stores them on DCIM file and under 100ANDRO on my phone. They are viewable in Mediascape from there. You can also use the file manager to create more files/albums in the Pictures file and as long as the image is in there the phone finds it to view in Mediascape. I copied over a load of pics from my PC to X10 using the MediaGo part of the PC Companion.
The moxier stuff is bloat ware put on by SE, can't get rid of it unless you root.
Not sure about the USB thing, hopefully someone else can give you some advice on that.
sooo if i dont have internet connection i cant download either of the managers :/
Are you talking about using a different SIM card which has a mobile data plan on it just so that you can access the internet??? That's not a great way of using a smartphone like this.. when you've got your "normal" SIM in you phone will be a bit crippled!..
Anyway.. couple of options - 1. Find somewhere with Wifi and use that to access the internet..
2. If you're putting in a new SIM card then you'll need to configure the internet access via mobile data - you can get the settings from the support pages on the SE site..

okay...
fixed the internet , installed astro
just few more questions poped up so:
as i read somewhere now i dont need anything else to install .apk files on my device right? i can install them throught astro?
also when i configured astro to "sort" folders and files (folders on top) when i restarted the device they went back as i didnt do any settings?will settings reset every time i shut down the phone? and can i fix it somehow?
oh and any options to see the % battery left like on x1 after putting some other roms that got this option?

I am no longer able to see my memory card when i connect my phone to my PC and can no longer see it when i go into file explorer!! Can someone tell me what maybe wrong or possible solutions. It was just working a little bit ago and then i can no longer get into the memory card through my PC or on the phone.
if i put a different memory card in the phone it will read it, it just wont read the card that came with the phone for some reason, what the hell is going on here?
Ehh not looking good here. While your phone is connected to the PC make sure 'Disk Drive' is selected and not 'Activesync'. If nothing still, I suggest placing the SD card in a USB reader and plug it directly into the PC. You should have your answer there. Good luck.
i just think its weird that my phone will read other memory cards and not the one that came with it, but when i put the 16gb card in a diff phone it is readable?
starkall, I would suggest copying everything that's on the card to your PC (using another phone or a card reader), placing the card back in your HD2, and doing a format right on the phone using the native utility for that (settings-all settings-system). This has cleared up the "disappearing card trick" for a bunch of people
when i use a card reader for my pc it wont even show up, can anyone send me the stock files that come on the original SD card. Thank you
i tried doing the facotry reset also and it still wont read the card, im lost i guess LOL
yeah sounds like a bad card. there should be a dl list of all the stock apps here on xda. look in the htc leo section, i believe there is a sticky on it and that you can dl each .cab one by one. the only thing that you may not be able to find here is the transformers movie files due to copyright. other than that, i'd hit up tmobile and get a replacement phone or sd card or both.
is there a way to delete all the icons from my phone that dont work now, like transformers, blockbuster, mobitv, barnesnoble etc... since i cant use them

Using file explorer (either on the phone or through activesync), just navigate to windows/start menu. There you will find the .lnk icons for everything you find on your start menu and in quicklinks. Delete or rearrange those (into folders for example) however you wish...they're just links.
EDIT: for mobitv, blockbuster, etc (everything except the movies really) you can download and reinstall the apps...they're all available at the thread ryan562 mentioned, and here's a link to it (it's also stickied at the top of this forum section):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=663845
Just look for the two links there with "extracted cabs" in the title
the movies is what i wanted most LOL i called HTC and they are sending me a new card but are out of stock at the time being, BUMMER i know!!!!! I put my buddies SD card out of his HD2 in my phone and everything works so hope i get my new card soon, my son loves to watch transformers.
Is there some way to access the x10 though the computer to download pics that i have taken?
I have plug it into the pc and there is nothing recognized like the minisim 16g that is in it or the on-board storage.
I run win 7 so there's not much it misses.
I have been reading the forum for related stuff but coming up empty.
Ok i downloaded PC Companion I can access the phone, but still don't see the minisim, or pics that i took.
I suggest using an app called Wifi File Explorer or Websharing. Search those apps in the market. These applications will only work with wifi on. It will use your Wifi and allows you to browse through your SDCard contents through a browser. No need for connecting cables to your computer.
Instructions:
1. Start the app (Wifi File Explorer or Websharing)
2. For Websharing, press the Start button. It will give you an IP address.
3. Type that IP address on your computer in your browser.
If you want to view pics, I would suggest Websharing cuz it allows you to view pics through the browser and thus allows you to see which ones you want to download to your computer. Wifi File Explorer only gives you a list of files.
Thanks i will get to that right away.
In the mean time the place that i was looking for in showed up in PC Companion under File Manger. It open explorer and at first few times was not able to find the minisim. For some reason it showed up 20 minutes later under the file name DCIM.
I don't know why it didn't show but it does now.
But i am still going to try the programs.

Drag down the top notification bar...
Press USB connected...
Mount.
You can also just use Mediascape and Bluetooth the files to your computer (assuming you have bluetooth on your computer.)
It's what I do... very easy, fast enough, and requires no set-up or typing after the first time.

After I Install this..
I got 2 OS In my Blackstone?
By The way can I put things inside the SD Card after I install android?
And Everytime if I want to use Android,
I should:
turn on the phone in wm6.5-->Launch Android-->Android opened?
By The Way can this rom display Chinese?
Yes on all counts.
The Android OS will install on your card. It should not touch any existing files (but back-up just in case). Both Android and WM will have access to the card.
Restarting into Android will take about 2 minutes. WM will not be open in the background, so to go back to WM, you must restart again.
To be honest, I actually leave my phone in Android more often than not.
A couple issues to know about:
-battery meter does not work properly in Android, so keep track of when you last charged the phone
-apps will crash once in a while, but no big deal, just launch them again
-cannot connect to Ad Hoc networks for internet. There seems to be a fix for other Android phones, but I haven't heard of one for XDandroid.
Thanks=]
But I still dont know can I put songs,pics in my Card?[My english's not so good,sorry...]
Since myblackstone doesn't have enough memory for putting all my songs in...

You can put songs on your SDCard, but you have to do it from WM.
So start WM and connect to your PC then put stuff on your SDCard, after that you can launch Android and it will find the stuff you installed (like music)

Or use Droid Explorer, right?
I thought that had some options..
(how to use droidexplorer, enable activesync in winmo before launching haret)
Thanks To Smobbo and oNNoZeLe =]]]]]
I think I am going to install it now xD
Can Droid Explorer install apps on the device?
I'm trying to install whatsapp. Went to their download page on my blackstone but got a message that says an SD card is required.
So I downloaded the .apk file and transfered it to the memory card, but couldn't find an android explorer tool!
EDIT: Finally installed it using Droid Explorer.. but couldn't figure out how to get it to work! First, haret doesn't use WinMo contacts. So I added two contacts (who have whatsapp) but their names do not show in whatsapp. Besides, when I launch whatsapp an alert that says "Message History Disabled: No Media Card found" appears!
I guess it doesn't work because the SD card is not accessible!
Any ideas?
I want to ask why "Your Phone Does Not Have an SD card inserted" when I press music buttom on android 2.2?
hi, i've just got my iconia and I am also new on the Android world. A couple of things I've noticed about the external SD card that maybe somebody could help me to understand.
1.- when I hook my tablet to my windows 7 laptop, I get to see the internal memory on the win explorer but not the external card, so is this normal or do I have to look for more updated drivers on my PC?
2.- with the external SD card on I get to see my files on an android file manager and I get to open any file individually by getting the "select app for opening this file", but this is time consuming so I am wondering if my stock lumiread, gallery, multimedia player have the current limitation of only reading the content from the internal memory. If so, what free alternatives do I have to replace stock apps?
A couple of answers
First, if you install File Manager HD, you won't need to tether your Iconia to your laptop any more. In the app, open the 'menu' and touch 'LAN Connections'. Your Windows PC will show up as an IP address. Make sure to change the IP Address to a computer name (long press, rename) so that next time File Manager won't have to search for it every time. You will be able to transfer anything on the tab to the 'Public' folder on the PC, and vice versa. Depending on what folders are shared on the PC, you will be able to access more on the PC.
I keep my music on my external SD card in a folder named 'My Music'. The stock music/multimedia players found them with no problem.
I haven't tried moving any books for Lumiread to the external SD card, so all I can suggest is to look at the file structure and duplicate it on the ext SD card, copy a book into it (a new one, or move an existing one) and see if it finds it. I don't see anything within the app to set search/storage directories, but maybe it will scan everything like the music apps do.
Have fun with you new Tab. The more you play with it the more you will understand Honeycomb and it won't seem so foreign to you. It does pretty much everything every other OS does, just a little different way.
Kp
Thanks Ken, I downloaded FMHD and will try it soon. I also though about reproducing the lumiread folder on the ext sd card but no luck, so probably a future update on the app will fix that. I tried this as well copying the pictures folder (and also renaming it as 'My Pictures') but the stock gallery just won't see the image files, is there any chance you could see if you get the same results? I have not tried yet on the music stock app. Again, thanks for your help, it is great to find nice people on the web with similar tech passions as I do
Hello Ken, like that app. Wondering if it would be an easy way to tether to my HTC Evo? Thanks in advance for you thoughts.

I use Quickpic from the Market (free) since it lets you choose which drives/directories to scan.
Here is what you do.
1. Create the My Pics directory on the External SD card with File Manager HD, put a few pics in it.
2. After installing Quickpic, start the app. It will display everything it finds on the internal SD Card.
3. Touch the Menu button from the main screen.
4. Choose SETTINGS-INCLUDED FOLDERS-ADD
5. Tap the double dots at the top of the list, it will display all the memory devices attached.
6. Tap EXTERNAL_SD. All directories on the card will be displayed. Press OK.
Now press the 'back' button and you will see your pics that are anywhere on the External SD card.
All I did to get the A500 music player to find the music on the External SD card was run the NemoPlayer app and open the music. Once I did that the regular music app found them, too.
Have fun!

Don't quote me on this, but I don't think so. From what I have seen and heard so far it is only connecting to Windows shares. I don't have an Android phone to test with, so can't swear to it, but I know it doesn't see an iPhone, so likely won't see a Mac either.
Anyone else been able to connect to anything but a Windows share? Let us know if you have, and what app you used please.
hi guys,
recently had an issue about my sgs2 i cant access any file on my cell through pc i mean i can see them all in internal memory and xternal memory but the moment i try to copy or move the file my conection gets lost and comes back again in the next second
til last night this was only concerned to my internal memory and i could use my external memory i.e sd card easily to transfer files there and then move those files to internal memory using file manager in cell but now even that is no more accessible
i thought it could b my usb port since i had issues about it in past but the wierd thing is i can copy small files like images and apks to cell but the moment i start copying mp3 or movie[any file above 10mb] it disconects and reconnects again
Another wierd point is if i keep it connected but dont access the phone via pc it stays connected for hours till i access it
i just wanted to know if the problem is with my pc[usb port] my data cable or something got messed up in the phone itself[i havent done anything like flashing or rooting or any other tweaking]
help appreciated
P.S: i am using nokia data cable but have transfered movies mp3 etc etc using the same cable before.

Have you got access to a card reader to test the sdcard to make sure it's not faulty?
buddy i cannot acces the internal memory too
ok intratech i tested my sd card i put my new sd card in my old phone and tried to copy and it transfers easily
any other suggestions?
Are you using the stock firmware? I ask because I'm wondering if the permissions have been messed with. Also do you have anything like droidwall installed? Another thing you can try is to uninstall the USB drivers for the device and reinstall them.
yes i am on stock rom din touch anything in the o.s yet non rooted nor do i have any firewall as such n i tried reinstalling the drivers but no use
as i mentioned earlier i can still copy small files like apks and pdf files but the moment i tch mp3 or even try to access their folders it messes up goes off n comes again
