Space on the Excalibur

Morning all, this might be a stupid question - but has anyone ever ran out of space using the calendar feature?
I don't put emails on the phone, and any files I do have sit on the 4gb sd card.

Um please be more specific? what do you mean?

I mean that I use my calendary pretty heavily..just wondering how much space the calendar uses - or if there is a way to have the calendar info saved to the SD Card.

I don't think callendar makes some big files - there is text and some settings, and this is mobile app - all mobile app use less space, but MS are stupid sometimes - 100 lines in access = 10MB...

Outlook: Store e-mails on Storage Card? & Other Q

Hi there,
I've just receive my Touch HD, and been playing with it for a bit. I noticed by default Outlook stores my e-mails in my RAM, which I think is a waste of space and would like to use my Storage Card.
Unfortunately, I only seem able to save Attachments to my storage card, not my mail (and calendar, notes, etc.).
Is there any tweak or application that can help me with this? (basicly I would like to store everything that has to do with my Exchange/Outlook on my SC).
And lastly, assuming the above is possible, I would like to synch *all* my Exchange mailbox folders (& entire Calendar, etc) with everything to my phone. Unfortunately, it appears if for example I create a new folder in my Exchange mailbox, I will have to open Active Sync again, to select that folder to Synch.
So I'm asking if somehow I can set it up to always synch all folders, without me having to add any possible new folders.
Thanks in advance

if you want to store your mail on the SD card, you will need a registry editor and then modify & create those values :
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Inbox\Settings]
"PropertyPath"="\\storage card\\Mail"
"AttachPath"="\\storage card\\Mail\\attachment"
here it is just an example, but you can put waht eve you want for the path

Are you sure is it like yours or this?
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Inbox\Settings]
"PropertyPath"="\storage card\Mail"
"AttachPath"="\storage card\Mail\attachment"

Moving One notes from main memory to storage card

Hi
I'm looking for some way to store the onenote files in the storage card instead of \Application Data\Microsoft\OneNote Mobile.
I looked in the registry but didn't find the setting or something that helps me
Anybody here has any solutions?

Is there a solution to this? My Onenotes are filling up the small 219MB of main memory and I'm getting memory full message on phone. Plenty of space on storage card, how can OneNote use storage card space instead of main memory?

cant you guys just copy the files in File Explorer and make a OneNote folder in the Storage card root? I don't know how you can have them saved on SD card by default, but I don't think copying them to the card is a big deal after you write a new note.

I'm using the HTC supplied WM6.5 and the OneNote Mobile offers no options to open files anywhere but the main memory. One can copy the notes to SD card to make space, but there is no way OneNote mobile can open them from that source even using file explorer and choosing OneNote as program to open file. It appears a limitation of OneNote.
I've asked HTC for their opinion, siince they sold the phone with OneNote and a small main memory size. No reply so far.

Got a reply from HTC who suggest a hard reset and not a mention of Microsoft or OneNote Mobile! Wtf, thanks.

Wow that's pretty messed up. Why on Earth would they suggest a hard reset? Sounds like the person you spoke with has no idea what it is that you're looking to do. I hope you find a solution to your query.
I don't know of this helps, but I use the "Notes" app located within Outlook. There you can set the program to save notes to the SD card and it saves a lot of room. I don't know if your current program is needed for your particular needs, but maybe you could try it?

Actually I replied to HTC and told them I did the hard reset and it didn't work. (I didn't actually do it as I know its a waste of time!). They are looking at it further and I'm waiting on reply with ticket still unclosed on my support question.
Basically I'm trying to get them to agree OneNote isn't suited to their phone which they have sold me and see what they respond with. Still waiting

I have writen down the solution here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11100039#post11100039, hope it can make some helps.

This looks good for saving attachments to OneNote on SD card and works, thanks.

[Q] How to keep contacts merged after flashing new roms

Is there any way to keep contacts merged after flashing a new rom?
I've tried making back ups threw titanium and still won't stay merge it restore them all separated
Problem is that since they have different names on Facebook for example. The built in "join " won't pick them up
Sorry if the solution is very easy I'm fairly new with rooting and well I was a little pampered with HTCs link up system

ever tried to simply backup contacts to sd card via standard function in contacts-app (.vcf file)?
edit: google-sync doesn't work either?

No no I haven't I didn't know the nexus had that options still ...since its SD card less but
Will that keep them merged?? Never really used it on past android phones because they were always HTC phones lol

That won't help.
And to my knowledge, you really can't.
Contacts with the same first and last name should merge.
Maybe work on getting all of those the same.
And add a "nickname" line for whatever you wanted to search for them by.

to be honest, i don't know if it will keep them merged, but worth a try.
simply go into contacts-app and press menu, there you'll find something like "import/export", if you then choose export to sd card (or sthg like that), it will create a file on your (internal) sd card. save this to your pc or cloud and replace and import it when necessary...
to come back to google sync, are you using that? i guess this should work, but never had that problem...

I just exported it to SD card (virtual ) and well im wondering if I import it to Google contacts if it will do it since the names and emails will be on there now
I'm gonna try after I get of work thanks for the suggestions guys

[Q] SD Card shares the same disk with os

Hello everyone..
So I while managing pictures on my SD card, I noticed something that is making dumping/importing pictures to my PC, a nightmare.
I think I have a solution, but the app (MoveToSdcard), is giving the following message: "SD Card shares the same disk with os"
Looking at some of the file/folder structure, I think I know what's happening, but I don't know how to fix without breaking stuff.
What I'm trying to do is move all apps that will every have pictures associated with them, to the SDCard. This will allow me to export (and worry) only pictures from the SDCard and delete them like I normally would with my iPhone.
Anyone know of a way to resolve this or have a suggestion on how to achieve what I'm trying to do?
Why do I want to dump my pictures? I put them on a NAS, back them up to various cloud services. I also place my none mobile photo work on this NAS an upload them as well.

I'm having a hard time understanding specifically what you are trying to do. But if the end goal is back up pictures to your NAS then I suggest downloading "Sweet Home! Alfa". It will allow you to select which albums to backup and automatically do it for you based on preference (for example, I have mine setup to do it when I'm connected to my home network and plug my phone in to charge".
You can set it to automatically delete photos off you device once backed up too if you want. Managing albums can be done through the stock gallery app or through a file explorer.
Hope this helps.
BTW, /sdcard actually refers to internal storage. So if you are trying to move apps to /sdcard, that it why you are getting the error. You are telling it to move an app from internal storage to internal storage which doesn't make sense to the app

Hi Artimis! Yea. I'm sorry about how I laid out the thread. Not clear at all. Basically, there are pictures everywhere
I use several apps - Instagram, Photoshop, SquareDroid, Afterfocus, Lapse It, Viva Video, etc. Each one of these apps either place the completed edits/export in their own folder, located in the app's directory, respectively.
When I pull out the SDCard and put it into my machine to dump/export them, not all the pictures are there, because some of the pictures are in their respective app exported folders and those are on the Internal SD.
This now forces me to hunt around and hope I've located all the possible directories and pictures.
If Instead relocate the apps to the SD card, the export folders would also be there, making it one less and easy step to ensure that all possible pictures/directories are accounted for.
Make any sense? Sorry about that.
Now the app you recommended takes it to a whole other level! This is awesome! and it detects new photo directories, created anywhere on the phone or SD card! This more or less solves my whole problem! WOW! Thank you!
As for the whole SD thing, I'm confused. Not a big deal though since all pictures and videos (all big in size) taken using XCam end up on the true SDCard. All the other pictures scattered about are not large in size and I'm not concerned about it. It's just a pain to hunt them down and dump/export them.
This app you suggested though is perfect and solves my problem, and then some!
Thanks Artimis!

wouldn't it be easier to just use Dropbox's import feature or even their auto saving of pictures? Of course letting G+ save them is also a more practical solution, I use both, and would be less time consuming

Yes, I use them as well. They work well. The goal is not to move away from any of them either. The goal is to save them locally to my NAS and at the same time, recover the space back on the device/SDCard.
The program that Artimis recommended takes care of all these issues.
I'm good! Thanks!

Same/Similar Problem
Whenever I try to install apps on to my SD card it says "SDcard share the same disk with os" and won't let me transfer apps.

Does your phone actually have an sdcard in it (it would show up as something like /external_SD through the file system). As I mentioned before, /sdcard actually refers to the phones internal storage. It is a symlinked directory that emulates an sdcard but is mapped to /data/media.
So you will get this error with an app trying to move something from /data/app to /sdcard because it is actually trying to move it to /data/media/.. which doesn't do any good.
If you do have an actual external sdcard (/external_SD) then the problem could be due to the write protection changes implemented in kit kat. There are threads on how to fix this if you are rooted.

I do I have an SD card in my tablet and I supposedly already did an SD card fix for Kit Kat but I will look into it thanks.

i have micromax canvas juice 2 .... i inserted 16gb sd card but iam not able to move apps to my sd card ..... please help me
