how do I get the sd card to work as installation memory?

Only some apps can be installed on the sd card. Once installed you can move it to the sd card if the app allows it. You'll find most apps can not be moved. Usually it will tell you in the app description or you can ask the app developer.

The internal memory "LOCAL" is already mounted as "SDCARD", so when you add a new external SD card it mounts it as SDCARD1. This creates the problem of the OS pointing to the onboard partition(499MB) as the SDCARD for the purposes of managing apps and "moving them to SD". In order to use your installed sd card for apps, you have to root the device to gain permissions to modify the "\SYSTEM\ETC\vold.fstab.nnd" file and swap the assignments for "LOCAL" and "SDCARD". For me, I ended up with the following lines: "dev_mount LOCAL /mnt/sdcard1 auto /devices/virtual/mtd/mtd1/nandblk5" and "dev_mount SDCARD /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/imap-mmc.1/mmc_host/mmc0" If you have any sort of programming experience, this will be easy. Hopefully this helps solve the problem for those willing to put in the effort. Be warned that "rooting" your device and modifying any of these files improperly could have bad results and/or void warranty. P.S. Dragon Touch/Tablet Express should patch this issue to correct it for everyone so we don't have to go to such extremes.

That's strange I Haven't had any problems geting the sd card to work with it. If you are using a SD extreme card it won't work. I would make sure that it's an SDHC card and not SDHX.

You may need to copy first to your Hard drive [make a temp. directory to hold them] then to the SD card.

I'm using an 8GB SDHC card to put some system files on it as a ramdisk - it works fine. I've also used a micro-sd 8GB with adaptor in the slot and it works fine too.

I just take out the SD card and put it in my computer, that's the easiest way

not necessary unless you happen to use the card on a standard SD slot......

I'm using a 2GB SD card with no problems. I've also used XD and CF cards without a problem.

Mine didn't work either. As a last resort, I thought I'd just just use it as a standard 8gb storage card. No luck. Computer shows it has only 93kb of storage space - not 8gb. Tried reformatting - no change. Just a $35 piece of garbage. My suggestion - throw it in the trash where it belongs.

Its "ubuntu" and yes, provided you plug it in, i think thats what you meant by download, or plug in the sd card

Read my review from David V. Norris on Amazon. Make sure you partition your SD card for Fat32 and Ext2. I also made a small Swap partition. Make sure you read the instructions for installing Link2SD. Enjoy.

Be sure it SD card is formatted. Try on computer if you have to to be sure it is working.

Manually copy lcd to the correct directory from a windows machine just insert the sd to the windows machine and it's much easier. The command it said to use didn't work me for either

Everything is suppose to automatically save to the memory card. If not go to setting and go to storage after checking if you can't see the way to do it ask again k

I don't know. Before i bought it i had actually insisted that the store clerk attempt to find the answer to that quesiton; we found NO INFO one way or the other. (That should have been an omen for me to skip the purchase.) I DO KNOW that I have inserted a 16GB for the external micro SD; and it IS FUNCTIONING. I have not tried a larger one.

Wade, have you tried just loading the SD card after you have got video or photos on it to the computer? I do that instead of putting what is on the disc on computer. I get the videos and photos that way. Mine works awesome that way. I hope I explained that right.

I remove the SD memory card and use an inexpensive USB adapter to download the files to my computer.Here's one available from Amazon : eForCity SDHC / SD / MMC Memory Card Reader to USB 2.0 Adapter, Smoke
