Unmount, download and install can't happen - Streak 5 General

OK, I'm trying to download and install some other country version of navionics to see if it works on the streak before I go buy the lake version I need, but install fails. I suspect I may need to unmount the sd card to get it to install. I unmount, but then the streak wont let me download unless I insert or mount the sd card. I can't even transfer it to my dropbox and download it from there because it also requires me to mount to download.
So basicly I'm wondering how I unmount the sd card and install non-market apps.

No one knows how to unmount and install an app on the streak?

Never tried installing an app with card unmounted .
to unmount card go to settings SD card and unmount.
Have you tried putting the streak in plane mode then trying to install the app

I just tried airplane mode and that didn't work for installing problem on the navionics. I know how to unmount the sd card, the problem is, when unmounted, I can't download off my dropbox to try installing it. And I don't see the apk file I throw on the root. Is there somewhere I can put the apk and have it loaded or install from, somewhere on the root maybe, when the sd is unmounted?
Gez, all I want to do is try a navionics so I know if it works or not before buying the one I need fir fishing.
I contacted navionics asking if the maps work on the streak and they aren't to bright.

"Application not installed"

I don't know when this started happening, but I can no longer install apps. When I try to install an apk from the sd card, I click install and it immediately gives the error message "Application not installed."
I was having problems installing apps from the market, as well, and read a post that suggested unmounting the sd card first, then trying to install the app from the market. This does work. However, I can't very well unmount the sd card then install an apk from it...
I did use adb to change the default install location to the sd card awhile back, but I just reset it to 0 (automatic) and I still get the same error message. I have plenty of room on both the phone and the card.
What's wrong?
This very well may be a different issue altogether, but some phones that have done this in the past have just required a cache clear in the market. Just go settings > applications > market > clear cache
Again, probably something else, but have seen this issue in alot of different android phones.

Exactly same for me from today (maybe yesterday). HTC Desire, original ROM. WTF? I was already thinking about virus, but probobly its stupid idea. What's going on?
I cannot install apps from SD nor from Market.
I had an issue with this too kept getting "unknown reason 18" put new SD card in and no problems since

Yea, your sd card is dead. A new one will fix the issue.

It's probably not a dead sd card, but more likely to be a single file.
You need to delete smdl2tmp1.asec from the .android-secure folder on the sd. You can't see this file with an on phone file manager, so you either have to use terminal emulator, or connect to a pc..

How are you looking at the .android-secure folder because as stated earlier, you cannot see the contents from the phone, you have to mount to a PC...

Trying to install Fieldrunners HD ! Getting " Application Not Installed "

Its the one from the Amanzon App Store. I have an account and its linked to my phone. I know the trick for most apps like Angry Birds is to unmount the sd card and install. Usually that works but for this game its to large so it needs the sd card. Anyone experience this problem or have any working solutions?

it just went right on for me... no hassles
You have a stock Streak? I am on official build 3.18 with perf. fix and superuser update plus custom recovery mod Dr. version designed for Streak non beta. I wonder if has something to do with my sd card its a 32gb model.

I also downloaded the .apk from another site and put it in my systems app directory in my phone without the sd card and still got the exact same error. It doesnt even take it a second to spit back that it cant install it. Its like its not even trying.

Found Solution!
Found Game .apk online.
Copied it to phone via root explorer to /data/apps
Unmounted sd card and waited for 5 seconds [did not do this before]
Installed Game .apk by clicking on it in Root Explorer in /data/apps
Mounted sd card
BAM! Working!
I have no idea why this worked but it did!

Sd card won't mount via phone or pc. Help?

So this morning I was deleteing files off my sd card from my phone. Then tried to mount it through my computer to put some files on. Wouldn't mount on the pc via the phone.
Disconnected it and it no longer was mounted on my phone.
Took out the card and used a card reader and it no longer was able to be read on my pc without the phone.
Anyone have any ideas to get my sd card back and working. Currently I had to resort to using a 2gb card that I could fill within seconds.

Mine did this yesterday after flashing a ROM. Lost everything. I was able to see things using CWM but not the phone itself or the PC. Formatted it with CWM and it wiped everything but still the phone or computer wouldnt read it. I waited a couple hours and loaded it back into my computer and just left it. A couple minutes later Windows popped up a box asking if I wanted to format it. I did a quick format and it read the card size. Previously it errored out saying it could not format it. I dont know what happened and why it all of a sudden worked

what did you do to solve the problem? I've run into a similar issue, here is a link to a thread I created in Q&A

I still won't have access to a pc until tomorrow, hopefully ubuntu will be able to work some magic for me
I formatted after using the options under error checking failed. Everything moved exceptionalling slow while doing this however.
I did it under windws xp. Not much difference with win7 or vista I suppose. Ubuntu even.

Everyone having SD card issues, before you format it or do other crazy stuff, try going into your gallery on the phone first. Works for me everytime my sd goes "invisible"

SD Card constantly remounts as being "read-only"

It's has really been the pain in the arse. Really.
I use Lord's Ice Cold Sandwich. This happens occasionally, when I tried to download SD data for a game, the SD card remounts as being read-only.
I tried full-wipe flash, format SD card with Disk Utility of Ubuntu, then reflash it with Android's utility. I tried unmounting sdcard in CWM. I tried fix permission option in CWM. Nothing helps so far.
Thanks in advance!!! :angel:
There's an app on the Play Shop which claims to fix this, give it a try

I actually tried that. The other day I backed up stuff than formatted the thing with Disk Utility tool of Ubuntu. I then went extreme, formatted it again on Android.
I guess the app above might help. The thing is I'm still under 18 for a credit card, hence gotta wait another year to be eligible.... mannnnn
Apparently, the SD card is still in R/W mode, it isn't til I start download data for games, download music, use dolphin... that it becomes read only. The process usually goes for half the bar, than stop.

Should I repartition the SD card with swap storage and ext4 and stuff?

Just format the card with 4ext then reflash rom.

Are you able to flash your SD card? If you are having the same files after the formatting which you had then I don't think anything will work rather than replacing your SD card
