Let me rephrase, for those of us with unrooted and stock xoom
If you are on HC 3.2 you have use of Sdcard, but the issue is read-only? I think it''s a Google issue as it itt a software not hardware issue.Let me rephrase, for those of us with unrooted and stock xoom
Well, I wonder how ICS wiill handle it..bringing phones with liittle internal storage together with big bellied tabs.
There are no issues with read/writes on SD cards, once 3.1/3.2 has been installed. Just make sure you are using an approved vendor of SD cards with your device.
Mostly everywhere there was a 3.1 or 3.2 update ....i was on my holiday in Hungary and got the 3.1 EU update....there should be no issues at all anywhere
on an unrooted xoom? are you saying you have no issues writing to mnt/external1 on the device itself? No connected via pc.
I imagine it's a google issue to fix, ICS may fix it - or a 3.2.x / 3.3 might do it too
Hmm, never occurred to me to try it that way, as most of my file transfers are done via PC. Sure enough, it looks like Google doesn't permit '777' on /mnt/external1.
I tried a rooted workaround by giving su access to /mnt/external1 and it still doesn't work. Grr...
I see you have installed CWM v4004 that doesn't recognize the microsd card, rather than the Tiamat v3200 R4c that does flash from it and backup to it. Did you have a reason for using that version or just let Rom Manager update it? I know that it has been a source of frustration as people try to flash a kernel or rom from their external microsd card and CWM doesn't see it and they can't understand what has happened as they followed the flashing instructions...
That said, Steady Hawkin just came out with a new custom recovery based on this version of CWM (v4004) that flashes from a usb drive...interesting. I'm not sure what the benefit would be, but it's worth a look.
I installed that version through ROM Manager. I usually like to keep those sorts of programs updated.
This update is incompatible with the use of the external microsd card. You will not be able to flash a custom rom or kernel from your internal "sdcard" so if you don't care about that, carry on, as you were.
I prefer to keep the stock ROM as I have had stability problems with ported ROM's on other Android devices.
