Hello
I have a P3300 with clean official HTC WM6 OS. Let's try to install, by example, Google Maps:
I select it to install to the /Expansión Card (not the main device). All right, the program will install in the main device....
Same with lots (all?) programs... What is wrong? any hint?
All work right and the SD card is accessible without problems
Thanks in advance,
Some programs cannot be installed on the storagecard, only on the internal memory.
G.
sd access is much slower then mainmem
sd interface is turned off when the device is off
so program which need to keep running cant
sd interface is not instant on when the device wake
meaning that ringtones and notification sounds in general
will not be able to be places on the sd as when they are required
to play the device may not be able to access them

The problem is that there is not enough available free space for correct work of win. mobile OS. Each time I reboot my phone, the greetings message appears, it also appears when I browsing in menu, trying to change settings. What should I do if there is no additional processes in progress besides Calendar, Messages or Contacts? I have only 700 kb free and remaining 41,3 mb are used. I thought that adding 2 gb flash micro sd card would solve my problem, but it still exists.
Thank you all.
I'll wait for your advices and suggestions.
Try to uninstall some programs (like today plugins and etc)
they use your memmory.
Adding a 2GB memory card isn't like just adding more memory to your PC - the phone treats the memory card as separate memory, not just an extension of the existing. You need to actually move files from the device to the card, remove programs and re-install them to the card instead of the device, set Pocket Outlook to save attachments to the memory card etc
But there is nothing to be uninstalled, cause there are only few programs, that were already in my phone when I bught it.
Should I clear a date storage? Then what will happen with my contact list and messages?
"Clear storage" will delete everything on your phone, including settings etc. It's similar to doing a hard reset.
If you've not got programs installed on your device, how much e-mail/contacts have you got stored on it?
where would i find today plugins etc to remove and then put on memory card,
and would i be better doin same with other folders like video, music etc , im new to the orbit so any advice is helpul thanks
Yes, always store stuff (docs, media etc) on the storage card; only use the phone memory when you REALY have to.
For your own stuff, use the built-in File Explorer and cut and paste all your files from "Documents" (or wherever you've saved them on the device) to the storage card.
As for programs/plug-ins, rather than just move them it's probably better to delete them and then re-install them, selecting "memory card" when it asks where you want to install them.
thanks for yr reply atleast i now know i can put most things on storage card. the onboard memory isnt that big and thats what confused me im use to havin a normal phone the orbit is all new to me thanks again for your help
I have an xda ii with a wm6.1 rom and i am using vista on my laptop.
I noticed my main hard drive on my mobile (if thats what you call it) was getting full. I have installed most of my programs on the RAM and STORAGE card though...
So I thought maybe I should reinstall the ROM and install them again but making sure ALL programs are installed on the storage card which is 2GB.
First of all thank you to everyone that helps... I appreciate the amount of posts you get one here.
The problem I am having is that I am running out of space to install a few programs even though I have a 2GB card and installing the programs on my card. Not the main device.
I tried restarting from scratch and went into boot mode - shows serial - then connected to the cradle and it shows USB but windows device manager (i have vista) does not show it as connected. If i reset and load wm6.1 it connects str8 away. Couldn't work out why but decided to go back to uninstalling the programs i had installed.
So I then uninstalled all programs so there is space, then reinstalled all onto storage card. The storage card is 2GB.
Even though I'm installin them on my storage card everytime i install a program (not many) a little bit of the main hard drive is used. Now it seems the hard drive is full. So basically im not not able to install a program i need cos its full.
How can I use my 2GB storage card or work around this I have been installing to it but it still is taking up space on my main device harddrive.
Is there a way to uninstall programs that came with the rom?
In short, I have space on my card but seems not on my main server. Can I work around this?>
Whats going on?

Can anyone tell me where do normally Desire install the application? is it to the SD or the internal memory?? I try to find the setting where you can choose to store install application, but just cant find it? I am running short on internal memory and want new app install on SD? In windows mobile, you can set in the marketplace where you want those application install (such as storage or internal) even when you install application (it will pop up where you want them install). But just cant find it in the setting for Market in android?

With the Desire, apps that are downloaded from the Marketplace are stored in Internal memory and not on the SD card. Unfortunately, unless the Desire is fully rooted (also with system write access), we cannot install apps on the SD card.
Additionaly, we would also need a compatible version of Apps2SD to be developed for the Desire, which allows the installation of apps to the SD card.
Hi, there!
I use Froyo, unrooted, for new apps the sd card is set as default place for installation.
This morning I have tried to test how many apps can be put on the phone. I have reinstalled some not so useful apps from the sd card (where I have stored them in the course of the last months).
Some app had problems to install, the process would not finish. So I switched the phone off and on again. After reboot, the apps installed on the sd card are not being found any more. Neither is it possible, to install an app from the Market, the installation process does not finish.
In the settings menue, the sd card and its distribution of the used and free space is shown correctly, as is the free internal memory with 26 MB. But it is not possible, for instance, to use the removal of the sd card function.
It is clearly no issue of the sd card as such, I would say - apps which are installed on the phone (like tuneWiki, due to the use of its widget) have easy access to the sd card.
Every suggestion how to resolve the issue is welcome!
Issue resolved: Via menu -> applications -> administration -> only running apps I was able to halt some applications (the regular task manager is installed on the sd card as well, of course), amongst which was an app called package installer. Apparently, that was the solution, since after a new reboot, everything works fine again.
I'm not so lucky I Had the same problem as you a few hours after installing the new OTA update (and some other apps, dunno if it is related). Sadly my phone didn't show how much storage was on the SD card. And after a hard reset the PC wouldn't even recognize it. I think the phone killed my sd card
I am aware that there are several applications for moving apps from phone storage to SD, but I am looking for one that would allow me to directly download and install apps to the sd card (even ones from PlayStore).
I have come across a couple of articles which require using ADB to change the default install path, but I don't want to go that route because they are mostly for stock Android devices so I am not sure if the method will actually work on the HTC One or make things worse?
One of those articles: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-install-apps-onto-your-SD-Card-No-Root/
Unfortunately I received the 16GB version so it is not enough for me. I have an old 4GB Scan Disk which I am using right now but the phone tells me it's slow and I should go for class 10, so I'll be doing that in the next couple of days.
There are large apps and games on PlayStore which I'd like to download directly to the External SD Card, which is why I'm asking about this.
Thanks.
