I've had the 2.1 OTA since Sunday... and I'm just realizing that I can't write to the sdcard reliably ... camera can take pictures and store them there but Astro can't create any folders or delete any files - Handcent can no longer save MMS cause it too isn't 'allowed' to modify the sdcard it seems.

I've removed the card, reformatted it on a pc, restored files, reformatted the sdcard in the phone... android can write .footprints folders and crap but apps I want to have read/write modify the sdcard seemed blocked.

wtf It's like a permission problem but the sdcard is formatted fat and that's not it... could the /sdcard mount point be hosed? Phone is plain old OTA 2.1 never rooted, etc

Help... thanks..

 

Ok, sad but true - I uninstalled both Handcent and Astro, powered off the phone (just to be paranoid) and then re-downloaded/installed both and now they can access the sdcard fine

Perhaps the programs themselves didn't have proper ownership or some nonsense...

 

Agreed it might but couple things - I couldn't do any backups to my sdcard cause the stupid issue with Astro not being able to write and also a bunch of other settings I was avoiding loosing... Also, I tried the above to clear the cache and for some reason my screen didn't look as described just adding to my nervousness
