This is the idea way to make sure you will never loose a business card and save hours of time searching for one. It's a free app called Business Cards Info (BCI). It also shows the location in Google maps of the business/person which is listed on the card. It's a must have app, you can download it for free @ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.businesscardinfo.cards.ui

For those like me who have had many failed attempts with TT6 and TT7 using legitimate software and maps I asked ALK (CoPilot) if their CoPilot 7 Touch Diamond edition would would on our devices and allow it to install to an SD card rather than internal memory. They replied that it could be manually copied.
I ordered it and got the CD today.
I copied the CD (DVD) to an SD card, and then moved the files in the Data directory into the CoPilot directory on the SD card.
Inserting the SD card triggered the WM6 cab file to lauch and install the base application on the device.
It's not TomTom but am well pleased with the results and a GPS satellite lock took around 2 minutes even from indoors.
I've downloaded the Camera POI's from PocketGPSWorld and loaded them and all looks good.
Money well spent I think
I just sent back my Garmin (have two units for the vehicles, but don't like that you can't move the data on the card to another, and the ones they sell have 400MB free).
Do you have a link? I want to ensure I can get the US covered with their software. Right now, I'm just using Google Maps. It works well for freeware, but it has me at a location half mile away.

There is also an option to buy and download the diamond application from handango for the same price. Its a 275MB download for the UK maps. Copied the files onto SD card, which then autorun and loaded the main application (11mB) onto the main memory. At last, my estate is correct - the latest maps from tomtom still have non existant roads and roads that go through houses!!!! Full postcode support as well.
iGO8 is great too
Yes, but you are locked to the SD card they provide or is there a way around that and using my own SD card?
BTJ
yes there is AFAIK
I don't know more
I just bought the Nexus S, but I fear the process of importing all my apps and settings from the N1 to the NS. I have about 80 apps, approx 20 paid apps and 20gb used on the external 32Gb memorycard. Of course, I will need to trim down the data amount to lower than 16Gb that is available on the NS. All of the apps that can, are installed on the SD card.
I have both a regular gmail account and a paid Google Apps account that are synked with my N1
So, must I set aside a whole working day manually re-installing all apps and reenter licence codes & settings & synk settings, or can I simple log in to the new phone and experience - like magic - that everything is transferred wirelessly? (I would consider believing in Santaclaus if that happened)
i moved from hero to nexus s and had the same problem, i used titanium backup to restore most of my apps+data, it will automatically link the apps to the market and install them on the next best place (for example it was on ext on my hero but got moved to internal on my nexus s)
but rom-/systemapp-settings had to be reentered manually because the rom got corrupted when i tried to restore my settings (for example google account)
hope this could help you out a bit.
I've gone through 4 phones and my paid apps have followed me. The non paid apps don't though. I definitely recommend Titanium Backup for those as well. Especially if you have game saves or something. I don't mind re-entering information for like connecting to my server but game saves that would piss me off to lose.
The free version I think you have to restore them individually but the paid version you can do them all at once I believe. Coming from the same android version always helps this process too.
Google login on the new phone should push a lot of stuff to the phone, but you might need to make sure the setting on the Nexus One to back up your setigns on the cloud/mothership is turned on. It's not been 100% reliable for me in the past moving from one phone to another.
Agreed with the others who suggest Titanium, it's been a life-saver.
We're assuming you're rooted, because to use Titanium, you must be rooted. Also, get the paid version, it's under $5 and adds a lot of functionality, like batch restore of all your apps.
On caveat when moving from one phone to another (or even one ROM to another) is that when you restore with Titanium, you just want to restore apps + app data...you don't want to restore system settings, this could, supposedly, lead to some trouble.
i see this asked a lot, but i must be confused. i thought that anytime you sign into an android phone with your account, all free and paid apps you have automaitically download to the phone, simply by signing in. i know when i completely wipe my phone, sign in upon boot up, and all apps return like i never even wiped. i can watch them install one by one over a 15 min period.
even my wallpaper gets saved to google's server, and placed back onto the phone as my wall paper. most settings too.
the one thing you will not have saved are texts, oh and any app-specific data from the old phone.
Your app history is tied to the sign in account (free and paid).
The data/settings for the applications is the issue at hand. Some developers sync the data to cloud services, some don't. For the latter you must to the titanium backup deal to move stuff or copy the sd card contents. Some devs opt to just create a folder on the sd card.
Most google applications (obviously) sync data/settings to the cloud. They offer devs a service to do the same. As more devs use it or their own you'll be able to seemlessly switch from device to device withou a hassle.
if i didn't want to use titanium is it as simple as zipping up the content on the nexus one's sd card and then somehow importing all contents (app data, etc) on to the nexus S?
then after that reinstall any apps that i have downloaded or bought?

Yep, it's pretty much that simple.
Hello all!
I have HTC Sensation for a few weeks now. I have got 8Gb SD memory card in ti (it is original, I get card with phone).
Well, I love to listen the music and I just wont to upload about 6 Gb of music to card, but there was just about 3 or 4 Gb of free space. So I hust upload 4 Gb of music. (And now, I can't even shoot a movie , becouse there is not enough free space )Well, then I search the memory card and realized, that there is a lot of folders which was not copied on the card, but Android made them. And I have got all applications which I download from market installed in internal storage. So, should I format memory card? Will phone work normally after formatting?
BTW: But there is a map .data which is 2Gb big. That is a lot. And there 4 maps in there. 3 are almost empty (HTC Watch, trips, footprints) and one is 2Gb big. It is map called "navigator". Should I delete it, and if I delete it, will phone work? (Probably yes )
Thanks, and I almost forget, sorry for my bed English =)
Try format it with Panasonic SDFormatter Tool.

Thanks for this tool, but will phone work after formatting. Probably yes, but whay then are this .data map for?
First thing I did when I got my sensation was to put the 16GB sd card into it from my Hero. I made a copy of the Sensations existing SD card contents (by mounting as disc drive) on my PC first so that if I needed anything I could use it.
The map in the navigation folder is for use with HTC's Locations software, which is a mapping software similar to Google Maps, only with onboard maps. As I understand it yours comes with a standard map of the country you bought the phone in - so mine came with UK and Ireland (and also France). You can download as many other maps as you want free of charge. If you go into the Maps folder it will tell you which ones you have got, because the file name is the country name.
If you want it to act as turn-by-turn navigation then you have to pay for an update. I have been told it is based upon some pretty old sat nav software (Route 66 I think) and is not very good.
So if you don't want it just delete the maps file. It won't affect your phone, but you won't be able to use HTC's Locations. But then you can probably download the maps later if you want them
peterc10, thank you very much!
I don't have bigger card, so, I will delete this useless files (but I will made backup on computer ) =) I hope everything will be all-right.
Thanks!

Don't forget to backup your movies and important data files before.
Have CoPilot Live, but it will not install the maps b/c "not enough space". I travel and and need the full US Map (think 1.2gb). Which obviously isn't going to fit on the internal. Whats the point of an app you can't even use??!? I tried searching on here and still don't get how your supposed to use maps from the external card. I see dozens of threads saying modify this, change the config to this, try to config this way etc. I copied the app folder to the external but still can't get maps to download, and if it did now I would have two installs of CoPilot (internal and external card).
Greetings folks! Just a simple thing that pretty much came with 4.3> I think? Let's say I install x app (spotify for example) and it'll save the data in the internal storage, that's good and all. But! When I reboot my phone/tablet it'll start saving things on the sd-card instead which is a no go. I specially bought an microsd card to save my own stuff (movies, songs etc that isn't avail on services via play store). Instead, my internal storage goes unused except for photos and whatnot.
Some micro SD cards have physical lock slides on the card, hope it help
