Cashing cab files to storage card

[Nologic]

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to cash cab files to you storage card instead of you local storage.


Because every so often I’ll install a large cab file from my storage card to my storage card and I’ll be presented with a messages that say I need to clear up some storage on my phone first.

Is there a way around this?

Thank You

What do you mean when you say "install FROM my storage card TO my storage card"???? Preview before submitting.

One more ?
What do you mean by "cash"?
Is it the same as "copy"?

Ok. Let’s try this. Apologies if I was confusing.

I have a CAB file located on my storage card. When I execute the cab to install the application, I’m presented with a messages saying I have insufficient storage available. Yet, my destination patch for that application is my storage card. (I’ve selected the destination path when I was prompted when executing the CAB file).

The only reason I can think of it that when you try to install an application from a cab file that’s already on your storage card the PDA try’s to load it first to the onboard memory before writing it away to the storage card. Is this true? If so, how do I change the location of where the temporary file should be cashed?


The same thing happens when someone Bluetooth’s me a large file, and though I select the location for the receiving file to my storage card, it stil pops up with a dialog saying I have insufficient memory available.

Has anyone encountered a similar problem?

OK, it sounds to me like your device is not reading your storage card properly. Remove, then re-insert the storage card. Hope this was the problem.

Hmmm. I’ve try that. No luck. It happenes only when I’m installing applications that’s larger than the remaining onboard storage. This made me think of my post above.

Has anyone lese encountered this? I mean, can you guys install applications larger than the available onboard storage? Even though the location is your storage card?

Yes as a matter of fact it has happened to me. For some reason when you install an app to the storage card, memory comes out of the main, leaving you with maybe 0.5MB which is not enough to complete the download. If I remember correctly, I've installed some apps to the SD card, memory is used from main, but stopped at a certain level, then converted to using SD memory, therefore being able to have enough memory to do the download, and the memory that was taken from main before conversion, was put back in the main memory. This is just a guess, maybe the app you're installing won't convert for you. Certain types will use main memory only regardless of being instructed to install on the SD card.

FYI
If you tap on the start menu/settings/system tab/memory, you can actually see what and how much memory is being used during a large file download.
