Hi there, I am not sure this is the right section to ask this,so please excuse me..
I have a folder in my XDA orbit sd card which is called "DE_AT_and_CH_plus_major_roads_of_WE" and contains some files that take up more than 300MB of my card. Can I delete them? Also Is the information in the SD card in the phone essential for the device?
Thanks
thas the maps for tomtom ect
The information on the SD is not critical for the phone to operate, however there may be applications installed on the SD card, so ensure before you remove it that there aren't any app on it you require.
if you need more space, buy a card with more memory and then copy all files to this new card. deleting the "DE_AT_and_CH_plus_major_roads_of_WE" folder will remove all of your tomtom maps.
The tomtom navigator doesn't have maps for my city, so I don't really need it... Is there another GPS software I can use?
I like to use Smart2Go, it has tons of maps and is freeware if you don't use it for navigation. Use the maploader to load maps to your SD card. I used WM5 Storage so I didn't need to take out my card. The maploader copied the maps to the main folder, you manually need to move the folder to the Smart2Go folder.
It's freeware, you can use it for viewing your current location, for navigation you need to buy a license. I use it mainly as a map when I'm abroad, I didn't want to buy a software with maps for the entire world, that's very expensive and I don't drive a car everywhere.

Sorry if this has been asked/discussed before but I couldn't find it or maybe I didn't know how to phrase the question.
With the exception of Garmin Mobile XT, when upgrading to a bigger MicroSDHC card, can you just copy and paste everything on the old memory card to the new memory card and just plug and play? As in, insert both cards to a PC and just select all (folders created for mail attachments, program files, videos, music, folders, etc) from say a 4gb card and just drag them to the new 16gb card. Will everything work ok in so far as programs that were previously installed on the old memory card, or folders created from apps in internal storage?
Thanks in advance to any help or if anyone can point me in the right direction.
Yeah, that should work just fine. Unless you have a program like Nav N Go iGO 8, which will only work on the SD card it came shipped on, you should be just fine. Though you should make sure that you have File Explorer set to show hidden files, and not to hide protected operating system files. That ensures that hidden files are also copied, some of which might be important to the programs on your SD.
garmin lets you copy over to a new card too.
thanks for information. much obliged
Yeah worked for me...I just upgraded from a 4GB to 8GB and copied everything over. No problems...
just as a small note about this thing. I made a copy of my card onto my computer when I changed cards from 4-8gig. Man I am glad I did as my 8 gig card stopped working in my Kaiser and was basically useless.
I got a new card and copied all the saved stuff over to new card and voila it all works again. This little step saved my a$$ as I had backups, tons of apps and cabs ect on the card. I am sure I could have got them all again, but I did not have to and I am so glad.
We all, or should, back up our phones but I will venture to say not many back up the cards. Now once a month I copy card to pc so its current, just in case. Old computing axiom: Its not if it will fail but rather when it will fail.
I was wondering:
I have a 1GB microSD currently, but I just ordered a 16GB. Now I have the newest .net framework installed on the device, but everything else (mainly advanced config. tool, reg. editor, divx player, etc.) is installed to the memory card. Will it mess up the phone to just switch out the card and reinstall these programs? or should I make a complete backup of the phone and put in the new card? I'm really lost here and would appreciate any advice.
copy all files from existing sdcard to your computer. then simply transfer them back to the new sdcard using a card reader. or, use your phone to transfer if you have no card reader.

First make sure you format the new SD then just copy all to new SD, no reinstalling of programs necessary
One caveat is that some software can actually be tied to the ID of the SD card upon install (i.e. Garmin) and thus can't just be copied over and still work. But those are the exceptions.
as kierandill mentioned, some apps are tied to the ID of the SD card and would require you to re-enter your registration code.
But i've swapped SD cards many times and haven't faced any issues and all i did was simply copy all the files from one card to the other.
never gets a gps position anyone else seen this?
got it working had to remove from sd card and install to internal sd.. bummer because it wastes a lot of space
that's because of the file structure required.
yes but if it was the file structure i would have expected it to not run and not find the map but it ran and found the map but never got a gps signal..

so true.. as a side note it is really strange the way they addressed the internal memory and sd card
ie in case you havent figured it out the sd card is just a subdirectory of the internal memory
ie /sdcard is the internal memory
/sdcard/sd is th sd card
versus my older i8910 and n97 where the internal memory and sd cards are entirely separate disks..
very strange indeed
I had the same problem. Since I removed Sygic and re-instal it, it works great!

or /sdcard/sd/maps etc etc.
thanks

In linux (and in Unix systems in general) every device is represented in the file system as a folder..
In my case i had an sd card i removed from my X10 with Sygic installed on it and all i had to do to get it running on my 9000 was to install the .apk using the samsung file explorer .
For now it seems to be running perfectly and gps signal reception is fine.
Yesterday I received my Galaxy, and have no problem with Sygic, my GPS works
Guys, can you tell me the file structure of the Sygic deployment on the Galaxy S... do you put the three folders and the .apk file on to the root of the SD card, and then run the .apk setup to install it?
I have a problem where I cannot run the app becuase I cannot activate my maps, I am looking for a Device ID but cannot find one. I can find a Device Code but not sure if this is the same as the Device ID, and in any case the Device Code is blank.
Can anyone tell me if I'm doing in the install wrong so not getting a Device ID, or, is the Device ID differnt from the Device Code and in which case where do I find it?
Thanks

I have the same issue.. it show device code as "-" or "_". I have no problem generating the device code from the SD card thr but not the internal memory
It wont work from the internal memory. You need to copy the files to an external sd card. Take the card out of your phone and use a card reader to access it on your pc. Now run the sygic utility and it will copy everything you need to the sd card. Stick the card back into the phone and run the apk.

Sry for posting to this old thread, but this is a big probleme for me.
I put the files on my sd card and the internal memory. Same Problem. Sygic won`t get a GPS Signal. But when I start a other GPS program (+ sygic in the background) I can see that there is a fine Signal.... hmpf...
My Maps are accepted and everything is great, just this annoying problem...
On my Galaxy S work fine. Try disabling the gps from system settings, then start sygic and follow on screen tips.

Greetings from Germany
can anyone help me? i cant find the installer file after using sygic assistant to install e problem.. using the sd memory, not the ext sd card. thks. can anyone tell me step by step guide? thks
I recently purchased a Tab S 8.4 and have been very happy with the device.
I know that it has limited internal memory, but has an SD slot so I was not worried.
I recently ran out of room on my device between Apps, Google Play movie downloads, etc.
I purchased and mounted an SD Card, but I cant figure out how to set the device to save these Google Play Movies & TV downloads onto the SD Card to save space.
Can someone please guide me on how to best make sure of the SD Card since otherwise the space limitations on the device memory are pretty difficult to manage....
Most File Managers will allow you to find and either move or copy selected files to extSD. If you're rooted I find Root Explorer to be the most useful for me.
Also you can move SOME apps to uSD in System to save space.
Thanks. For me its more apps I need to move rather than files.
I am noticing how few of the apps I am able to move...not just Google Apps but even apps like Flipboard.
Hi all !
I bought this radio 8227L: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32814496822.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.25984c4dJjb9i2
And now please someone knows how to move my GPS folder (igo) on the SD and use it ? Because due to Android 6.0, now we can't install app on the sd, except if you share your sd card with the internal memory.
If i do it, i can't move my folder gps too because the sd can't appear in the file explorer or on windows PC because the card is encrypted.
Then i search after a solution, i don't want to place my big folder (more 10gb) of the internal memory, i prefer install on SD.
Another question, how to root it ?? I try a lot of "rooters" but not work.
Please help me for the GPS :'(
Hi new user.
Suggest spending a couple of moments reading the wiki.
Your unit is not an MTCD unit.
What is it ?? And where is the wiki ? I don't see it
