How can i use the internal 13g also says i can unmount it for safe removel. I dont see anything i can remove. Thanks for any info about this.

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.

[Q] What gets saved to SD vs. phone memory?

i know that you can dictate where you want things saved (SD vs. phone memory) if you are rooted.
but if i'm using stock, where do apps get saved to? what about pics/videos, etc?
how does android determine what gets saved to what?

Apps automatically save to the phone's.memory but some can be moved to your SD card. Pictures and videos etc. get saved to the SD.

Not in my experience
All of my Angry Birds and a few others defaulted to install on my SD card
As well as other apps
I have no explanation

That's odd. Maybe it's a thunderbolt thing

transferring files to sd card too slow

im trying to transfer a new rom(327mb) to my SD CARD to flash but its taking way toooo! long.. it receives by 500KB/S now, before it was MB/S. its taking 10minutes to transfer it. is something wrong with my SD card?

How good of a computer do you have? Try not multitasking like 10 things at a time and transferring if that doesnt help, you must have a lot on your sd card try clearing uneeded files.
If that doesnt work, the final solution, buy a better sd card...

Welcome to Class 2 SD cards. Now you know why they're so inexpensive.

I have a transfer rate of about 5mbs...I'm fine with that...

I had that problem when I backed up my SD card before making it a gold card. Everything came off the card at 18MB/s but it went back on at 600 KB/s. The card has continued to work fine since, though.

I have the 8gb that came with the phone.

Are you using any roms? What about saving to a SD card? If so, what speed class is your SD card? Sometimes even stupid small things can cause headaches.

By any chance, do you have very little space on the storage that the video is being saved to?

No roms and its stock I have it going to my external SD card 16 gig class 2. The card is empty have nothing on it

Maybe it has something to do with the speed of your sd card (class 2). If you can replace that card with a class 6 or 10 and see if the problem clears.

Check your internal memory.

Our internal SD has a rough 4 gb. If you want to use your External you would have to switch the points at where your apps can get downloaded to. There's a mod floating here around XDA that can exactly do that.

Have you flashed a lot? I found that oftentimes, I have a spare LOST.dir folder lying around from my previous builds! I freed up nearly 1 GB just by cleaning that alone!
