I'm running out of space with 32gb card. Will my home screen get messed up or change if I change the sd cards from time to time even if I make sure that both cards have the apps I have on the home screen? I only use three pages of home screen including some folders. I don't keep shortcuts to xperia play optimised games as they appear in the play launcher anyway, same with pocket ps games. Those are probably the most space consuming apps so I'm hoping I could use 2 cards without having to redo the home screens every time.

If you copy your basic app and settings data to the second card, but not your media, it should be ok

Keep the apps that you use regularly on both sd cards and you will be fine.

Bought all gameloft games and they downloaded lots of data to sd. Some other games, Psxexperia games' data. Normally don't have media on the card - tend to stream it from NAS drive - but would not mind putting a few for when traveling.

I thought I can connect a external hard drive, sales rep told me I can but so far works with thumb drive. I'm not rooted yet, just got it last night. Is it possible.

You can plug in any drive but you'll need a special program if the drive uses a NTFS filesystem (USB mount all, Drive mount,...).

You must check the filesystem you are using. By default, ie. without any additional apps or such, A500 supports only FAT - or FAT32 - formatted drives. Either format your drive to FAT32 on Windows or install the NTFS - app the above poster mentioned. After that it works just peachy, I've got several drives I use and haven't met a single hitch yet.
Thanks guys, I'm using ntfs drives and wouldn't like to change it to fat. I'm having a hard time locating those app on the market, are those paid apps, one refers to mount sd card, I need a little help here please.

Do they have audio in AC3 format? Lots of people -- ie. most people -- can't get audio when it's AC3, I don't know if it's a limitation of Tegra2 or what. If you have AC3 audio in your files then your only reliable option seems to be transcoding the files.
I personally have never even tried, there's no point in having multi-channel audio when I'm only using stereo headphones to listen to it.
Try mobo player; its located on the market. I've found it to play any of my vid formats.

I did some checking, no support for exfat either. So fat32 it is.
If anyone has a spare laptop hdd or old laptop lying around, take the hdd, put it in an enclosure and use easeus partition manager to format the whole thing to fat 32 regardless of capacity over 40 gbs and velcro that to your Iconia and u will have all the storage ud need. Just keep your files under 4 gbs.

Optimization Tip #1 (Too Many Apps)
It's very easy to reach those numbers in no time
specially when you are a phone game addict like me
with the limitation of the i9020 not having an external SD card support i never had as much freedom as i did when using the i9000, on that phone i easily reached 500 Apps in no time, and well the slow down is obvious.
so the Trick & Tip for this session is about keeping a good balance between performance, and still have those 300+ Apps installed in the phone without blowing up on you.
Requirement: TitaniumBackup
you will probably think uninstalling the Apps that you don't need, true, but that's not always the best way, however for Apps that you absolutely do not use at least once a month, they should definitely be gone from the phone.
to keep the phone from slowing down to a claw, specially when your launcher tries to load up all those Apps & icons, simply use Titanium Backup to FREEZE the ones that you don't use very often, but are still nice to have in the phone for those "emergencies" when you really need it the most, but you wished you had them installed, and not deleted just to keep your phone from running smooth.
just keep a shortcut of TitaniumBackup some where on the desktop launcher to have quick access to the Apps to freeze & unfreeze the other Apps that you want to keep in the phone.
Also all the less used Apps you can group them inside a folder, and make a shortcut of that folder on the desktop launcher, so that when you Unfreeze them you know exactly where to look for them, instead of having to scroll through the entire Apps drawer.
Another great idea, only for those with unlimited mobile internet access, is to use the DropBox feature of TitaniumBackup, and then store all those Apps you want to keep on the cloud, and restore them when you need them
That's all for today

why???
I think it would be easy to accumulate that number. However, i tend to go through and thin out the ones I dont use occasionally. I dont think id ever get to 350! Think ive got about 50 or so on there at the moment.
damn I only have 110 lol

Damn...that's a lot of apps
aprox 50 are actual apps the other 300 are mostly games, good games like GunBros, most of the good ones from Gameloft, EA, and many other big hit tittles in Android Market
I don't think I've ever had more than 10 downloaded... 350 is kind of overkill man. You can only play so many games...

lol you're crazy
I have 8 games on my phone right now (including emulators... i use GBCoid for pokemon yellow and n64oid for... actually I never use it). That also includes Kongregate arcade.
how can you STAND playing on a touchscreen? like I play modern combat from game loft more than any game, and playing on a touch screen sucks! my fingers always block my view (and i don't even have big hands)
Damn man. Just download them again from the market if you need to have them again. How can you possibly use that many regularly.

Now if you go get mv player from the market you can play videos from your SD card pretty smoothly. An app like droidtv will let you watch TV from your SD card. Hope this helps!

So after yesterday's announcement I canceled Spotify and subscribe to all play but I'm noticing that Google play music is using up a lot of data. I streamed only about 6 songs and it used up 160 mb. I don't have it set to high quality and I even in checked cache music during play back. Spotify didn't use up 1/10 as much data. Any idea why is using up so much data.

Wow even more. It added 20mb for the one 3:45 minute song I just listened to. Looks like I need to cancel and go back to Spotify
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
It could be caching the next few songs in your playlist before you get to them.
Is it even worth cancelling my rhapsody account for this?

I don't know I canceled all play and went back to Spotify. I don't think it's caching the sins because I unchecked the cache during playback plus I ran the app for a while when I was connected to wifi incase it was caching my playlist. It's just way too much data for 6 or 7 songs.

After a few more days I can say wow, Google Music All Access is using a ton of data. I've used it a few days during my commute and the amount of data this app pulls is astounding.
Google Music definitely is a data hog but in my opinion, its far better than any other streaming service.

If you're on limited data like me, I would take advantage of your phone and get a 64GB SD card. It's a good thing you have a phone with SD storage.
I am already at 40GB, using Google Music All Access since it came out, using it during work and on my drive time. That is about a week of listening. It went up 2 GB just listening this morning.
I was wondering if nexus 4's 16 GB of internal storage is good enough and the fact that i'm not able to expand it won't be a pain
Yes and no. I had a micro 32g in my RAZR and it was plenty.
Now I have a 16g Nexus and am half full. I don't have movies on my phone. All pictures are stored in the cloud and viewed with GalleryNext from CyanogenMod.
Music is not a problem.
All files are on my cloud Drive.
Sent from my neXusâ´
16gb is more than enough if you believe in the cloud. If you like to have everything (e.g. videos, phone, music, etc.) stored on your phone then you will need more than 16 GB. Jeff.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA
if you can adapt i would say yes.
ik was used to have a 16gb sd card as additional storage, phone itself had also 16 gb of storage. so now i have only a half of the storage i was used too. but i started to use cloud services to store pictures and video's. now i still have some personal pictures on my phone and some music.
right now i have about 6 or 7 gb of storage left.
so if you are going to use a cloud service i would definately say yes..
I have 8 and I don't care.

Your only problem is if you install multiple large game files. For instance, I currently have gta Vice City, gta San Andreas, and dungeon hunter 4 installed and they combine over 5 GB.
My solutions. Once a week I transfer pics & video to the PC, I never install apps I don't need, I stream music from google when I'm on wi-fi, and I usually keep a movie and a few full albums in storage.
You'll have to shift things around but it's very doable. Good luck.
Used to have 16gig internal + 32gig external on my Note II, and i never filled up that space.
I have the 16gig model and i didn't fill it up either. 3 gigs of music, 3 gigs of apps, 1 gig of pics. NOT using Cloud because i have no data plan (lol, 2014)
12.92gb is what you really have, you can fill 12.92gb of your things but then you need the space for pictures and cwm backup, I always try to keep 1.5gb free for videos and pictures on the fly and then 900mb is for my cwm backup. 600mb for android/data and 400mb for images thumbnails which leaves me 9.5gb for my things.
Most of you have a cloud, I have a home server for music,images,videos etc, so I don't have any bandwidth for services once I leave my wifi and I need the battery to make it throughout the day.
Its enough if you manage your files keep what you need on there, 100hours of music is enough
No!
