Space on the sd card...

SIt's not possible to delete the files from the phone card using a computer, unless it's got the right operating system...i think...

This means sorting the sd card on the phone...

Two apps seem essential to do this, but everyone can test apps they find on the market, and there are new ones being developed all the time...

I found App monster pro, to send a list of apps by email, and create a backup (the pro version cost £2.40ish...the free one wont send the email list)
Adao File Manager that lets u locate files and delete them...like lost.dir...
sdcard/picture files (the DCIM folder is the gallery app contents, i think)

Also a third helpful app was system tracker pro that let me obtain a storage card analysis...

Moving to a larger sd memory card

Problem...= hundreds of apps on the 8Gb sd card, with data files attached.
So how do i transfer the apps AND the data files, bearing in mind the sony xperis arc (and all android phones) run on linux...and my computer has a windows operating system and internet explorer...

I looked at this site for inspiration...i think it says i cant sort it without a computer running on linux so the ph and the computer are talking the same language

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html


I have given up and emailed Sony Ericsson customer support

My network provider says...use an sd card adapter and copy the sd card contents, unmount the sd card, insert the new one...download all the apps again from my account on the android market and then put the new card in the sd card adapter and copy all the sd card files back to the new, larger sd card....HAHAHAHA it might work for images and songs, (but might not...app permissions etc) but i dont think it will work for app specific data coz it wont be able to read the same computer language...i might be wrong...

Maybe i should buy an android tablet with mega mega storage and an sd card slot THEN it will probably work...OR partition my computer and install linux on part of the hard drive

Maybe i dont have any faith in my new technology...perhaps it will work...watch this space...

To clear the Browser app bookmarks held in your phone memory

To sort the bookmark data on a sony xperia arc
Go settings manage applications choose sort apps by size
Locate the browser app
Make sure you have a way of getting your necessary bookmarks back...like a delicious membership (free) online with a phone essential bookmark folderand the andricious app on your phone
understand some apps with bookmark use wont work after the clearout until you have the bookmarks it uses back in your phone
(to send bkmks to delicious via andricious app you use share)
Now you can use the clear data option on the browser app...which will clear it out and remove the bookmarks stored in your phone memory and the browser app will go back to its basic state

SPACE

My android was running out of sd card and ph memory...panic...sony's pc companion and media go will only work with all (all?? i cdnt believe it) the apps disabled...solution
...i used an sd card adapter, copied the DCIM folder sub folder by sub folder to my laptop pics folder...deleted the ones on the ph card, except the HDR folder, and remade the folder names...the sd card gains 1.6Gb on my ph.
The ph card...i went settings, app mgment...found the growing HDR app and deleted its data...not the app (the app creator sez i can do this)....on the same premise i deleted mi email data (had to set my emails up again) and my plume data....
The ph mem has increased from 12Mb to 60Mb....i still have my HDR photos on mi fav gallery.
