Hi there
Yesterday I signed up for the new Google Drive. Got it set up on my computer and on my Desire and started syncing files between the two. But when I tried to make the files available offline on my phone I wasnt able to. I think it has something to do with the offline cache on my phone beeing so small(Only 25 mb). Ive seen somewhere that on other phones the cache starts at 50 mb and you can choose up to 250mb in cache.
Why isnt that possible on my Desire? I know the app is new and all that but I cant understand why it is different on the Desire compaired to other android phones. ive got plenty of space on my SD card and i dont think it is saved in the internal memory.
Anyways, would be awesome if anyone had an answer to this issue.
Thanks in advance
Offline files are saved on the internal as far as me doing a quick test with it.

I also have a problem with Google Drive offline access, don't now if it's the same as you.
With Google Drive online, no problem, it is downloading the file, and then opening the corresponding external app.
But if I set the file on offline acces, then the behaviour is depending on the file:
- with pdf file, no problem, the file is downloaded into Google Drive data folder on the SD card, with a copy in the data partition and opened with Adobe reader.
- with xls file, the file is only downloaded into Google Drive data folder on the SD card, and then Docs to Go isn't able to open it (looking for it on the data partition).

I'm cleaning up the SD card and found a directory called Newsrob I assume it's the news robot that downloads the news IF you let it. It had today's date on as last accessed.
Now, how do I clean out the directory from within Froyo or is it enough to just delete all the contents in the directory and not worry about it?
Thanks in advance.
You also need to uninstall the NewsRob app. Otherwise it would re-create the directories and make the news available offline as before.
You can also tweak the settings about what, if anything, should be made available offline.
Hi,

It it possible to get them to work on the replacement? Also my bookmarks are not showing....

Ok from what i have read might have been a bit easier doing a backup before you swapped out . Your apps you should be able to get working by reinstalling them by using a file explorer like Astro - Just because the APK file is on your card does not mean it will automatically go onto your phone - you may well lose some of your previous data doing this depending what was stored on the card before. basicly your apps that were on the card are still there but they arent installed on the new desire so there's nothing showing in the app folder - reinstalling them again tells the phone that they are there.
thanks, but how do I know which apps I had I can not remember all.
What about my web page bookmarks?

Bookmarks i have no idea if these even would have been installed on your sdcard..
plug your phone into your pc set the phone to disk drive mode and take a look.. in windows click start>search select the drive letter for your phone card search for all files or folders and in the search box put "*.apk" without the "" this will search for all the apk files you had on your sd card.
Hi all,
I am trying to get android to work on my old Tilt2 for my fiance so we can play games together. I've gone through all the steps by adding the correct files to the root of the storage card and running Haret. Every thing seems to work "fine" other than the fact that I can't see a storage card while in Android. I tried to partition my SD card to see if that would help but I am unable to determine the proper way to do that. Any help would be appreciated
Do you have some type of file manager installed on Android? I know that I could always see it, with the exception of the Android folder on my card.

I've said this 100x, not sure why it never shows up on people's searches...
But backup all the data on the card. Format the card (full format, FAT32) using the HP Tool. Restore all the data on the card after the format, or start over fresh doesn't really matter. Apps should now be able to see the card, etc.
I'm not concerned about apps seeing the storage card. I don't have a "My Files" app that will let me navigate the card. Do I need to download a file manager in order for it to work?
I fixed it.. I had to download a file management app I feel dumb now.
Which App?

Astro is pretty good, and is included in AndroidApps folder IIRC.

Amusingly, I use multiple file storage apps. Super Manager for making system files r/w, and file expert for the look and feel. I have astro too, on my other phone, but only really use it for enabling all file type downloads from the web.

hey guys,
My issue is that when I plug my s3 into the computer. When I access the SD card from the file explorer on the computer, it comes up with duplicate folders. Just wanted to see if anyone else is having this issue. However if i browse the files through astro on my phone it looks just fine. I'm running AOKP Build 4.
So I saw this & hoped there was some extra infoon tthis topic cause I had the exact same issue. It was agrivating because I didn't know which folder to save to. Some of the folders had different data in them
My solution? I put the sd card in a multi reader & poof - no duplicate files.
BAD NEWS
Now my phone doesn't know where to find the sd card. Oh, it reads & writes just fine. I can see it in SUFBS & Astro file manager, copy files to/from with ease. But go to the gallery & I only see the phone memory. Ring tones are only found in phone memory. Downloading from any Web browser & it only goes to internal storage & I can't point to ext sd, but sms backup & restore saves to it just fine. My friend thinks the drive letter got changed but I have no idea how to find or change that in the phone. I's sad.
Sgs T-999
Cm10 nightly 10062012
Ive never seen this myself. But i only connect to my computer via usb when using Odin. For file transfers i use SwiFTP wireless transfer.
Search for sgs3 easy ums here on xda. Itll let you mount external sd as UMS rather than MTP which is probably whats causing it (maybe because you are non stock?).
Also you may have to reformat the card at this point. Not really sure about that though.
Sorry i dont have more for you, but in the future try those two apps i mentioned. Find Swiftp bt searching the themes and apps section.

I recently flashed cm10.1 on my GS3 and now I've got all my internal storage stuck in the storage/emulated/0/android/obb or storage/emulated/legacy/android/obb locations. Under settings it shows total space 12.05gb, available is 668mb but less than 1/4 of the visual bar is full and accounted for. Sd maid is showing the obb folder is holding 11.39gb but no matter what explorers I use it always appears empty. Anyone know how to free up this spae? I can't find anything anywhere about this. Thank you ion advance.
Edit:
Restoring it doesn't free the space up at all. Even tried restoring my backups and the space remains full.
The obb folder is what holds all of your game data. If you have a lot of games installed, especially ones such as Need for speed, grand theft auto, etc. Go into it and clear out the data for all the games you don't play.
I have zero games installed at all. It shows absolutely no files in the folder both regular and hidden and I cannot do anything to the folder whatsoever. Even a clean wipe won't help
This is all in the CM10.1 thread. It's all user data for different profiles. Format your sd card if you dont like it. Just make sure it's empty.

I have not seen it anywhere. This is all on the internal memory, not the sd card. Everything has stated it's empty but the system storage option in the settings . isn't there some way to force delete this folder?
Page three using the app. I meant internal sd. You can always format it.

That I have never heard of. I will look into it, thank you.
Tablet terminology, my bad. After switching from CM 10.1 to another ROM and copying its contents to the external sd, I formatted my internal sd in recovery.

Wow it worked! Thank you so much for the help.
My pleasure.

there is an xposed module that can fix this problem ..found this in google news app on my tablet,very helpfull for gamers.its called OBB to SD...install xposed framework on device as long as you running dalvic on your phone and not ART,cause xposed is not compatiable with ART,my gues is your running dalvic ...google xposed and read ..i see you have allready solved the problem..just adding to the answer,this is if you wanted to keep the files,for games..it moves all the files to the external storage,just make sure you get a large sd card..i like games,so i really find this mod helpful,also store my games on my 64 gig external storage
workaround and I thought it would be a nice idea to write it here.
I came to the counclusion that if I did a fresh new reset factory and installing a large mount of files in the internal storage's obb folder it ended up being deleted after rebotting my tablet.
So I decided to do a few steps the next time I reseted my tablet. First, I copied my files using my pc into the SD Card. Then, I installed a random game from Google Play so the tablet could "adapt itself" and install its own obb folder. After that, I installed my apps but not all at once but one at the time and rebooting after every installation for making sure it was all ok.
It concluded not having the error again and after having deleted the random game from the begining my tablet had finally worked.
Hope this idea helps someone having the same problem as I did. Just don't copy all obb files at once, don't copying it directly from the computer but copying them from the SD Card and install some random game for making sure it can at least hold those obb files.
Good luck!
Try Root Explorer and Delete the File from Root Folder

How is anyone else supposed to know what's on your device? Use a root file explorer, not the garbage Samsung one.
Look in Android/data and check all app folders
