Any more info on how to correctly handle the HTC incredible's extra internal storage? Android 2.2 does add new default folders but not an extra API for additional internal storage. On Apr 30, 6:21 pm, webmonkey webmonke...@gmail.com wrote: My guess is that both External and Internal are mounted

My guess is that both External and Internal are mounted and unmounted at the same time. Another question is the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission. Does it also apply to the internal storage, or is there a new separate permission for this. On Apr 30, 4:51 am, Streets Of Boston

I'm still curious as well :-) : How do we developers get access to a shared partition on the internal storage (e.g. /emmc)? What method call can we use to obtain it so that at least we can select it if necessary (e.g. give user the option to use external storage or shared internal storage)? How

It appears to be a serious issue for developers, see: http://www.androidauthority.com/index.php/2010/04/23/nice-htc-droid-incredible-photos-and-application-issues/ It mentions: For those of you interested, the internal 8GB of storage on the phone is mounted at /emmc (r/w mode, of course) and
