Connecting XDA II to external hard drives or MP3 players? - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories

I know it couldn't be done with the original XDA but can it be done with the XDA II? Is there any way to get mass storage on the XDA appart from buying an Big SD card? Any way to get several Gb of storage?
Thanks.

just scroll down a bit

The internal SD card is not removable. You can store data on it like your photos and videos or documents, but very few apps will install to it. Until we get Froyo there's no way to move apps to SD cards
It's referring to "ejecting" it from your computer before you stop usb connectivity on your phone.

Thanks for the fast replys. I read somewhere that were getting the 2.2 update. Just dont know when. Thanks again

I've got 2.2
Get the Phoenix Rising ROM.
I've never messed around with flashing ROMs or anything, but Samsung isn't going to release 2.2 any time soon, so I figured it out, and I'm glad I did.
Sorry if that doesn't make any sense, I've been at work all night.

Infuse Deletes Music

So, I've been running Serendipity 7 on my Infuse for maybe 3 days until I went back to stock firmware, but it seems everytime I try to put all my music onto my external SD, it deletes it all and saves 3-4 bands with scattered songs from the album. I had this same problem with my Captivate, but it would put the files into LOST.dir instead of just deleting them. I've looked around on Google since I started having problems back in June/July and couldn't find anything.
Right now, my Infuse is running stock Froyo and rooted. I haven't really done much else. The SD is a Sandisk 32gb.
To add a bit more, when all 19gb of music is on the SD card, I safely remove it and then plug it in just to make sure it's still on there. The music doesn't delete till it's plugged into the phone. I've tried using the SD card slot on my computer and USB through my phone and it always deletes either after I disconnect from the computer or when I plug the SD into my phone.

Do you have any .nomedia files on your phone? I don't think the media scanner is the issue here, but it's always a possibility. Did you try storing the music on your phone's internal memory instead of the SD card? Maybe the card is going bad?
I haven't put any .nomedia files on my phone. As for the SD card, it is brand new. I can put the media ob my internal, but when I move it to the external it deletes itself.

Now it's deleting apps that are installed on the external SD...

It's most likely a faulty external sim card.
I should stop buying from eBay. I've only gotten one good SD card from them. This I've was still in GE case too. It's like it will only allow 1-2 gigs of the 32 before it deletes the files.

Search e-bay for this problem. They are also selling cards that are fomatted to show more space then what they have.
I once bought an 32gig usb drive, it would look like everything that I copied was there, but would only play the first 4gig.
These mostly come from china. Like I said, do a search and you'll never buy memory off e-bay again.
Very good point, I completely forgot about that. Thank you so much.

Now there are a bunch of no extension files in my LOST.dir. They just now showed up. Damned Chinese products.

I make it a rule to never buy electronics off eBay. Local craigslist only for me. That being said, it definitely sounds like a borked SD card.

Yo, easy as pie to fix this. if your SD card is in deed broken. Wally World (walmart) is your solution, go buy a San Disk 32 GB like yours then switch out the cards and return the faulty one. Thank you.
I'm telling ...
But to show my age, back in the early 80’s, when we were hacking drives to copy 5 1/4 discs, we'd burn out drives in a few weeks. So we'd buy a new one and swap out the internal components.

USB Storage VS. External SD

How can I move an app to my external SD card rather than the internal 16 GB storage. I cannot find a way to do that. When I choose move to SD card is only goes to the internal 16 GB.

Its because the phone has internal SD that mounts as mnt/sdcard which is normally external on phones that don't have internal SD storage.
So basically, the expanded slot is mainly for files and media, correct?

yeah, but with the amount of internal storage available on these devices, i see NO benefit to moving apps to sd. that was a benefit with older phones, but it seems all the newer models coming out have ample room for app installs. apps2sd seems like a worthless hassle to me any more.
I have to use apps2sd because the Market seems to want to default all my installs to the system storage rather than what it calls the usb storage...am I missing something here? My Captivate defaulted to the internal storage and I would often move into the external sd. My Infuse loaded all apps on the external sd card. This phone seems to go to the very limited system storage options (only like 1.3 gig free). So I feel like I have no choice but to continue using APPS2SD.

What apps are you running that you need THAT much internal storage for apps?
Samsung typically leaves 2gb for internal app storage, the 16gb internal SD for media ect..
I've got well over 150 apps on my phone and haven't come close to using my internal storage.
Well, I need more than the 2GB of internal storage but not much more. Just not used to the way this phone handled app storage compared to my past phones.

Give Link2SD a try; it's fantastic and allows you to move apps, one at a time or multiples (under menu button) to the ExternalSD card (plus it allows you to do so much more, see link above). It sees the External card as it should see it, an SD card that can have apps and data on it. App2SD doesn't give you a choice to move to the ExternalSD card, it only moves from phone to InternalSD and vice versa.

MPEG Layer 3 Audio File (.mp3)
like i said alot of my music plays fine and some others just unable to play now but were ok before.
this is weird and a pain. also some albums are not in correct order in terms of the track listings but that i can live with compared to unable to play.

No I was just wondering if it had something to do with the sdcard itself and maybe another one would work. How did you format it?

through the pc and through settings on the phone.
iv googled this alot and found no way to fix this. there must be a way.
Seems simple to troubleshoot here. Simply plug device into computer, copy a handful of songs or ones you know that have issues to the phone's hard drive, unplug device from computer, take sd card out of device, now try playing the songs off the device's hard drive. If they play just fine, well then obviously the sd card is the issue. This is the first step i would take at least to figure this out.
Also try using the internal storage and see if they will play from there.

I think that is what the previous poster meant when he said the device's hard drive.
