[Q] Where is my Micro SD Card? - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Where can I access the programs I have copied via my computer to my Dell Streak 5 memory card?
I would like to run a .apk program how can I do this when I cannot see the files.
Under SD card & phone storage settings - I have a a 4gb card with 1gb free but all the options are grey out and the only one available is to Unmount SD card.
This is my first post and any help is appreciated!
many thanks.

ES File Explorer or use Quick Office to browse the SD card (if it is on your phone).

Marvin02,
I have downloaded ES file explorer which has allowed me to access my SD card on my Streak and I have been able to open and install the program I wanted.
Was a bit worried when a warning came up that I was installing a program which was not from the android market and that it would be blocked!
Many thanks for your helpful advise.

That warning is standard for any app that does not come directly from the market. You need to enable Unknown sources in the application settings on the phone. If your Streak doesn't have that setting (AT&T limitation) you can search for ho to enable that setting or use Sideload Wonder Machine to install apps from your computer.

Thx for reading my question.
Have you installed a ROM with Apps2SD, and partitioned your SD card appropriately?

Q: Can't I see my SD card as a path again, instead of Computer\GT-I9100?

Hi, I deleted some files on my SD card by mistake and would like to see if I can recover them with eg. Recuva. The problem is that the program can't see the SD card, because the parth is just seen as "Computer\GT-I9100" in Windows 7. On my HTC Hero the SD card would pop up as a drive, but my GS2 refuses this it seems. Does anyone know of a way to fix this? I did a search but all I could find was a fix for Windows Phones. Thank you.
Hah..well nevermind. I just figured it out on my own.
Go into settings, USB-mass storage and enable it
Or just enable debug usb on settings/application

[Q] Can't detect SD Card

I'm having some problem with my sd-card. I use a class 4 16 gb SD card and I can browse it using a file manager and even play songs stored within. But some apps cannot detect it. When using the camera, NavDroyd and some apps, it is asking me to attach a card. I tried remounting the card to no avail.
And another thing - I have a torrent app. I started downloading a 2gb file but decided to cancel it. But the free space of my card was still reduced by 2gb although I removed the torrent and data. Any tips on this? Thanks.
Any ideas?
Try to copy what you have on sd card on your pc, then format it and copy the things back on sd card.Have you tried another card? Maybe is a rom problem. And the utorrent thingy, browse the sd-card and check the folder where it downloads the torrents and see if the file is still there, and manually delete it.
If I format my sd-card. do I have to repeat the convertion of ext2 to ext3,etc.. stuffs?

[Q] transferring Apps to the SD

i have a question, when you transfer an app to the sd via the manage application settings. where do the files go i cant find it anywhere? its not on the sd card i cant find it on the sd portion of the nand.
if you dont find the answer try using a combo of drop box and es file explorer (both found on market). That's what I use to transfer any app or file form device to card

[Q] Cannot access/find data on SD card..Help!

Probably a simple solution to this but
Basically I have used the Settings>Storage>Transfer data to SD Card option to free up some memory on the phone but now I can not find the data on the SD card?
3gb of photos nowhere to be found.
Any help is much appreciated.
No ideas?
Maybe a Filemanager (search on the Playstore) could help?
It just shows empty folders using filemanager apps and when direct connected to the pc.
There is appartently over over 10gb used on the card but nothing showing in any folders?
Very frustrating.
Check lost.dir on your sd card, files generally end up there if it's a bad copy
Yep, checked and there are files there.
Tried rooting, fixing SD card permision and repairing/restoring with Recuva and ES File Manager as per a couple of tuts but nothing is working.
Any other ideas?
