moving the data files from sd card to external sd wont work because apps are bound to vold file and it specifies which one is default storage location.

without root there is no solution for this

i dont understand y u r worried about rooting? its totally safe to root ur phone and by flashing the stock rom again u can claim warranty also if ur phone gets some problem.

if u r ready to root ur phone there is 2 ways to do this.

1. use the modded vold file which forces OS to use external storage as sd card and all the apps/game data files will be stored on ur external sd.

2. use GL TO SD app which just moves specified game data to external storage and forces those specified apps to use external storage as sd card.

is there any disadvantage (such as overall a bit slow response etc.) if we swap internal and external storage ?? :confused: I mean that's why it is not a default option given by Sammy/android ?? :p
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vrajan:
Android OS doesnt freq access the internal drive. Only user apps or games access it freq. If you have class 6 or above microsd it is as good as accessing(read/write) the internal drive.

I use class 10 card and the guarateed min read/write speed is 10 MBPS :beer:

I'm trying to play some avi's and mpgs on my Infinity, but they don't seem to want to work. I tried both Dice Player and BS Player but no go. These same files worked on my Prime, so I'm not sure what the issue might be. Are there some codecs that need to be downloaded or something, or does the Infinity just not play these type of files? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
what happens when you try to play them? where are they stored?
[Asus Transformer TF700] czerdrill:
the player just shows a black screen and then kicks me back out to the file structure to select another file. Theyre stored both in internal and microsd.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
So how are your files encoded? (check on your PC if unsure)
[Asus Transformer TF700] neo1738:
he mentioned mpgs and avi I think. To the OP what about stock player? if that doesn't play an .avi something is wrong. you shouldn't need codecs for .avi or .mpeg. uninstall both BS and DICE since they don't work you can also try MXPlayer and get the arm7 codec pack as well (both free). that is my favorite and has played every file type so far
[Asus Transformer TF700] czerdrill:
Ok i tried mx player and that took care of the avi/mpg problems, thanks!

I have an mkv and and mt2s that doesn't work though, but I'm gonna just convert them. Thanks guys!
[Asus Transformer TF700] neo1738:
i think MX will play .mkv if you have the arm7 codec pack installed as well. Just a thought. mt2 not sure what file type that is so idk if mx usually plays that or not.
[Asus Transformer TF700] czerdrill:
Thanks again, it works now!
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
You can have tons of different codecs in the avi files, so that's not really specific.

That's good this worked for you, OP, but Dice and BS should play mkv x264 files just fine, so this is unusual. It would be a different story if you got video with no audio because of DTS encoding.
[Asus Transformer TF700] BxMxK:
Excellent point that people tend to overlook. AVI and MPG are both Container Formats. Just because they have the same file extension that another working video does doesn't mean you will be able to decode it.

Use a more in depth way of finding out why it won't work.

ive always used moboplayer and never had issues, but on my infinity I have found several videos that simply dont play. They are wmv. These videos play fine on my Atrix (cm7 - GB) , Acer a500 (ICS), and HTC View (HC)... I was wondering if it's the tegra 3 architecture that needs something special? Moboplayer has codec packs, but I generally dont use them... weird.
[Asus Transformer TF700] neo1738:
Glad to help!

DIdn't know about the .avi having different codecs, thought .avi was .avi. As for Dice and BS I agree they should work but figured since they didn't why not try MX, which seems to have worked for the OP. Personally I like MX best anyway so I may be a little biased ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
I used to love MX on my TF101, but when I tried it on the TF700 it kept using software rendering (so big battery drain as CPU is working hard). All of the same files played using hardware rendering with Dice. Am i missing something?
