How do I know if the card works? - HTC Wings

Sorry for the newbie question, I put an 8gb SDHC in my Wings. In the Start > Settings > About, it does NOT show, however, I can download things onto it. I miss the "Memory" application of my Artemis... is there any way I can check in the Wings, other than the "About" menu, if the card is being read, and how much of it is?
Thanks!

Do you see "Storage Card" in the internal File Manager?
You may try to install Resco Explorer (shareware, but trial is available) and format the card directly on Wings.

You can see Storage Card information in Task Manager -> System Info

How to install apps in memory card?

Ei, guys is there a way to install applications in the memory card instead of the main memory?. because in my xda atom i would be asked before installing an app whether to install in the main memory or in the memory card..
When the box pops up on your computer to install, it should say something like, Install to default location? Click no, then choose Memory Card from the drop down in the next box. It will install to memory card.
An alternate way is to copy the app folder from /Program Files/ to your memory card, then change the shortcut.
If you copy the install folder manually, don't forgett to change the direction in the registry keys in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apps\moved program!!!
Or you extract the CAB file from the program you wish (with WinZIP/WinRAR or find it in the installation directory on your desktop pc) and iinstall it on your XDA with CabInstall from SK Software!

programs in storage

Is there a way of loading programs on the xda 2i whereby most of the memory used is on the storage card. Having read various threads it seems I need to try and keep ROM free
When the PC installer asks you to install to default location, click no, then select Memory Card from the dropdown list .

programs not saving to sd card but to phone

for some reason everytime i install programs it installs to my phone and not my sd card. when i run the cab it gives me the option storage card or phone and i select storage card, but it seems as if its still saving to my phone. any idea? my phones out of memory=(
Sometimes there's a folder called "Storage Card" in the phone and the system misses itself.
Or maybe you have problems with your SD card (do a search here about "SD corrupted" and read about it)
If you're experiencing problems always with this, you'ld better have to hard-reset.
Or you may try to modify the registry "by hand" using Total Commander or similar and tell that "storage card" is the card and not any folder.
Could you tell us what ROM are you using, and which is your memory / SD / etc. status ? (screen accessible via settings/system/memory) And how many apps are you installing there ?
basically my memory is reading the following:
from the storage card(2gb):
0.287gb used
1.610gb free
from my phone
122.5mb used
0.00mb free
i'm running abu's v10 ultimate with the 1.65.21.18 radio. its not the suggested but it hasn't given me any problems yet. its just this saving thinig that's been a problem. all of my ringtones and pictures go to the storage card so i don't understand why my CABS aren't. all i know is my phone keeps telling me critical memory. sheit.
how do i set it so that it saves in the storage card on total commander?
You got too much snizzle on your device, i'd recommed getting everything off via active sync/WMDC and performing a hard-reset start fresh back up your SD card and give a fat32 format with computer.
Then you'll be back on a roll with a fresh device
so i did the hard reset, but do i needa reformat my sd card too? its already as a fa32. so everything should be fine now? =)

They are hidden to prevent you from being able to just copy the apks. Not sure where they are hidden but sure someone else will know more

[Q] Applications to external sd

Hi, everyone.
I have a question if somebody is able to copy or move applications to external sd card either with rooted stock or custom rom. What applications or mods did you do to enable such option?

Im having the same problem as well. my Internal storage is half way getting there and None of the apps that I installed does not have the option to be transferred to ext_SD
Ok, after 2 days of searching over the web and forums I found a workaround for moving apps on external SD (working only on rooted phones).
1) Download and install FolderMount program from Google Play store.
2) Open the program, tap on "+", enter name (any alias), source folder of the app, and destination (external sd with the same folder already created or choose automatic method), then tap on check mark.
3) Wait till the program copies the application to external sd and creates link. After you need to tap on pin icon and it'll turn to green.
If you get some notification, just click "Yes".
P.S.
Don't delete the folder with the moved app in your internal memory, as it'll also delete the app from external SD. If you want to check if the program moved, unpin the program and browse to the app folder in your internal memory and you won't see the files there. FolderMount creates the link to the application in internal memory to trick Android. Every time Android requests the application, it passes the request to its internal memory and after goes via the link to external SD. That is the only trick that worked for me.
I read on the butterfly 901s/e forum thread and it said something about fat32
I have Kingston 64gb formated in FAT32, don't know if Android works properly with exFAT or ext format. You can't format 64gb SD card in FAT32 with Windows, but you can install other partition wizards like Minitool Partition Wizard to format it.
Does the old setinstalllocation trick work here?

If you mean "set pm install location" command, then no. I tried that trick, however programs didn't even install on internal memory after I used the command. I left it as default "0".

Thanks a lot. I think I can do everything I need to do with foldermount so it should all work out.
Also got a 70mbps read SD card! Phone comes in later today!
Does the micro SDXC work in the butterfly s
Sent from my HTC Butterfly using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yes, works with microSDXC up to 64gb in FAT32, couldn't manage to use external sd card in other formats like exFAT or NTFS.
