I wish also that when connected by USB, it shows both the internal SD and Ext SD as separate drives to move files back and forth but that is one of androids (sammy's?) short commings.Jason Fitzpatrick is the Editor-in-Chief of How-To Geek. Remove your EXT SD card, place in an adapter and add files/folders/etc. (EXT SD card is the card you purchased and placed in the phone). After your done, you can use ES file manager or Astro file manager to cut and paste the folders you created to your EXT SD card saving space on your internal SD. From there, you can make a folder called "music" and place all your music files in there or make any folder you wish to place files in. You can plug in your phone to your PC using USB but it reads only from internal storage and will show up as a drive letter in windows which you can double click and access as if it were an HD. The answer to the second question is that it all depends. See, if you turn on sync and upload your pics, you can safely turn off sync and delete the album from yur phone and it will NOT affect the albums that are on gmail. The no is that it will NOT affect your albums in gmail given you turned off sync. The yes is once you turn off sync, they will no longer constantly upload. The answer to your first question is yes and no. Would very much appreciate helpful, smart advice so I can begin using this thing as the cool tool it should be. Wondering if I should just stop using the USB and take off the back, take out the card and stick that in directly with USB-adaptor thingy. Does anyone have a definitive answer on how to deal with this? I can't transfer music files, etc. In an unrelated issue: I've read that there are a number of people out there who are experiencing difficulties hooking up the USB cable and having it recognize the phone as a Media - not as camera. My question, then, is: Will this have any effect on the albums in my Gmail account? I know - sounds like a naive, stupid question, but someone in the thread said he'd deleted his pics and was "hating his new phone" - I wanted to avoid that. Is that right? And if I follow the instructions in the forum here, I undetstand I can also delete the entire albums off my phone. To my question: 1) When I turn off the sync, I understand that will keep it from constantly updating the albums. It's a lot of data, and the phone checks it each time I open up to peek at a photo (or more regularly.). I think these albums - about 20 of them, each with 80+ photos - might be my problem. As I run workshops, I create photo albums for my clients on Gmail Albums, which is great because it allows you to add comments, so they can see what they're doing right, etc. I understand they're synced automatically, and I see them load each time I turn on the phone. So I wonder.if it may be the Picasa Google Photo Albums I've got set up on my Gmail account. Then we figured Facebook was churning and updating as well, so we turned that off. Later, we found out that I was Auto Uploading every damned photo I shot - and I was shooting a lot - up to my Google+ album (not posting, thank god). I went back to the store and the guy had no idea. The phone burns up tons of data after a week, I'd already gone through 2 GB - this, mind you, without watching YouTube or surfing the net, etc. Loving it, especially the HD photos and some other beautiful features - but there is one issue, and I wonder if it's connected to this Picasa thing. New to Android here, but I just recently purchased a Samsung S3.
