If you want to transfer apps to the SD card, just navigate to:

Settings--> Applications--> Manage Applications

Press on the app you like to transfer, and press "Move to SD card".

This doesn't work on every app, and it's not recommended to transfer some apps.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eozen81:
Thanks a lot.

Is there any way to find out which apss we should not transfer or the system already gives an error message If we do?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olivierlee:
Some apps can't be moved to the SD card. These apps will have the "Move to SD" button greyed out.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordManhattan:
Yeah, most games like Angry Birds and Pocket Legends (with some "weight") can be moved to the SD.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattSkeet:
Don't move widgets to sd in most cases it will mess up the widget. Example poweramp widget will be messed up if app will be moved to sd, it's due to sd having delay only startup and somehow android cannot figure it out in think

Thanks a lot guys, from your experiences I understand that it's the best only games to move to SD not apps or widgets.

I tested out my HD camera on the X10 and it's autofocus, but sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.... am i doing something wrong? sometimes ill point the camera to my computer screen to test and everything on teh screen will be blurry, but then ill wave the camera around for a bit and then maybe come back to my computer screen later and the autofocus kicks in and everythings legible and very clear on the screen through the camera. Same with other things like words on books and stuff. Sometimes the camera will focus and sometimes it won't. Am I doing something wrong or what? :S

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McTwitch:
So its a problem with the X10 itself? Will they release a firmware upgrade fixing this problem or something?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XERO_Racer:
Idk what you guys are talking about but it works for me 100% the first time probably wouldnt work but the second works for sure, remember the camera wont focus like in macro mode, try it again and tell me if it doesnt work, state your firmware build
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcoplo:
In my case it is work perfectly! :cool:

(By the way i flash my X10 as a morning sport):D:D:D:D:D:p joke!

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
Works on my X10, too.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kylec:
Mine works perfectly too.

But just a tip, if u want the video to focus in macro, switch to the normal camera, change setting to macro, then switch back to video and there u have macro video :-) works for me evrytime
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McTwitch:
Im using the default Camera app, i dont even see a macro mode in the settings. :S

im using

Firmware version - 2.1-update1

Baseband version - 2.0.46

Kernel version - 2.6.29

Build Number - 2.0.A.0.504

The problem persists, and im on Normal shooting mode, in HD.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kylec:
On the still camera, you will see four icons on the left. Click the bottom icon which by default I think is a square. Macro mode is the one that looks like a flower. After you have selected that, switch back to video and that should work :-)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lghost1213:
Mine work too, it just a bit unresponsive, or slow responsive. Pardon my English.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iead1:
Works fine here. Used it to record a sports game the other day. Focused in and out of things as I moved the camera around the court.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesecondsfade:
I use my HD2 to bring files to and from work. I really want a WP7 but I wanted to make sure I could still utilize it this way. I saw that Microsoft and PocketNow do not recommend using the registry hack that allows the USB Mass Storage mode on your PC, but I wanted to find out a little more info about it. All references to the USB Mass Storage registry hack talk about being able to move your Music, Videos, etc., but none say whether or not you can move other files types and how the Zune PC software reacts to those unexpected file types.

So before I go and buy a device that I can't use how I need to, I have a few questions for someone who has a WP7 that could test it out for me. My questions are:

1. My work PC does not have (and will not allow me to install) Zune software on it. Will this hack work on a PC that does not have the Zune PC software?

2. Can you put any type of file onto the storage device, meaning not just Zune recognized media files? If so, what happens to those files the next time you sync with the Zune PC software?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vetvito:
No and no.

It is not Mass storage and Zune must be on the pc.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denizen08:
Check this post out. The thing I have to warn you about is that you will still need Zune to be installed as it most likely loads most of the drivers and automated installation necessary for your phone to be recognized by your machine. This hack simply lets you view your phone as more than a sync-able Zune device.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Gate Keeper:
agreed with vetvito. i think the best thing to do is merely just to buy a usb stick. they're reasonably cheap and tend to be attachable to keys. if not that, a portable harddrive.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesecondsfade:
I know it is not a Mass Storage device, but the registry hack enables it to be. I am asking if you could put a non-media file on the phone using a PC, then pick it back up on a different PC.

This just references the same registry hack that ny original post references.

I own a USB drive. That is not the solution I am looking for. I do not want to carry around two devices.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tai4de2:
Actually it's no and yes.

Zune must be installed, but you can use the hack to transport on the phone any files you want. Zune will simply ignore files that are not in the expected directories or which it doesn't understand.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesecondsfade:
Okay so I'm halfway there. What does Zune PC software provide that enables the ability to use Mass Storage? Is there a way to bypass it? Possibly some registry entries and/or drivers?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vetvito:
“Windows Phone is not a mass storage device. It’s a Zune device. The data on the phone must be consistent, and [the system] needs to be able to identify items in storage. We don’t want the user to have to do that stuff manually. Yes, some may want to. But we wanted a synchronization system that was simple and easy and does metadata mappings automatically.” -Microsoft corporate vice president Joe Belfiore

guys why you want to buy a $500 DEVICE AS A usb STICK. WHEN A usb stick is $50/

WP7 os is working fine without hanging, reboots... why you guy want to hack this and hack that.. why cant u enjoy the smooth flow and the new OS for a while...

i am so sorry but i cant get it why ppl want to mess it up for them selfs... and i am very sure if any thing happens after there hackings they will blame microsoft for it...

i cant do alot of things now with my HD7 i used to do with my WM6.5, but there are so many things WM6.5 could not do for me too.. i am very happy with my WP7 OS and i will not want to change it in any way.. not even cut and paste as i dont need it..
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesecondsfade:
Most everyone here at XDA who is interested in WP7 has already read that quote from Microsoft. You keep saying it's not a mass storage device... I know that. There is a Windows registry edit that allow the phone to become mass storage which has direct access to the media folders in the phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesecondsfade:
The point you're missing is that I would like to have a WP7 device... and I don't want to have to carry around an extra piece of hardware in order to move files to and from work. My work blocks Skydrive so using the cloud is not a viable solution for me. I can't keep emailing files to and from my phone in order to get files to and from it.

I can't get a WP7 until I can figure out how to give me access to use it as Mass Storage. I don't want to put files on there and then use them in WP7... I just need a way to transport files from one computer to another without using the cloud.

Saying, "just get a flash drive" is not a solution. And by the way, I'm going to get 2 for 1 on contract with T-Mobile and it'll be $199.99 for two phones. It will not cost me $500.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 001mic:
you don't wanna carry around two devices, yet you will carry around one device and a cable which takes probably more space than the usb drive...

reflect yourself and buy the damn device, if you ask me.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vetvito:
Mass Storage implies storing any type of file, that is not safe on WP7, and thus why its not allowed. This mode you are referring to is only for media files, and no it is not allowing the phone to become mass storage. You are making the PC think a mass storage device is connected.

Why do the reg trick if you need Zune, that defeats the purpose.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesecondsfade:
Wow. Just... wow. Ever heard of owning more than one USB cable? Don't know about you but I'm willing to spend $3.00 to make this not a problem.

This is why I am asking the question. I want to find out if it's safe, what the implications are, etc. Can you tell me why it's not safe?

Precisely why I asked what Zune does to the system to make Windows recognize it as Mass Storage, meaning what drivers and/or registry edits does it perform to get it to see the device as storage. Since I can't install Zune at work, I'd like to know if it's possible to get it to do it with just some driver patches and registry edits.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:
I still don't get it. I have a micro sd usb stick that is about the size of a pencil eraser. Why is this hard to carry?

But, no, right now, there is no way to use a wp7 device as a mass storage device without the help of zune installation, so I guess you are stuck on 6.5
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doministry:
Guys, why are you offensive again?

He asks about something, and you're only answer is "but why do you want it?"

Is it the only thing you can say?

The "safe" argument is pretty bull****, it's basically MS which wants you to use MS software and stuff, rather than just be completely free.

There's no "danger". It's rather a strategy more than anything else.

There was never any "unsafe" file which would do any harm to my device.

And about a device = mass storage:

Mass storage has many great implications, and this is the reason to have it.

Mass deleting/applying files of different types PC - Device.

Drag and drop is the best way to do it.

Today if I buy a new phone and want to simply transfer all data to this one from my previous one, I SIMPLY put it there. Done.

Instead, Zune will deal with your media but documents NO, you have to download them from Skydrive, where you UPLOADED them before. And once you get another WP7 device you download them AGAIN.

So mass storage is NOT about replacing memory stick.

It's about simple way of transferring data.

That is so simple. Why don't you get it?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krjcook:
I'm with this guy, just get the USB drive. Yea it's more convenient, but there nothing like a cheap USB stick. I have one my keychain and never notice it and don't seem to understand the problem you have about not wanting two devices. Plus, using a USB stick is more professional than plugging a cable to the computer from the phone.

-Just my opinion
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 001mic:
In this case tough, he just wants it for the memory stick replacement.

I'm right with you that, if it were up to me to choose, I would probably implement it, but to not buy the device because you have to carry around the stick - this I can not understand.

That's of course just my opinion. Maybe he should buy a Android than.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim Coleman:
I don't see why anyone would want to use a WP7 phone to transfer files instead of using a tiny USB stick on your keychain. For a start, you would have to sacrifice a bunch of space on your phone so you have room for the files you want to transport. With plenty of people moaning about the lack of space on WP7 phones, why would you want to keep Gigabytes of storage unused just in case you want to move some files around? It makes no sense.

You should be filling your phone up with media, games etc. USE THE SPACE!

I've had a 32GB USB memory stick hanging off my keychain for a while now and it's no bother at all. I can just plug it into the work PC and hey presto I can copy files around to my heart's content. Why on Earth would I want to bother with a bloody great USB cable? What a pain!

This obsession with using a WP7 phone as a memory stick is absolutely baffling! I get the impression it's a case of "I wanna do it 'cos I can" which isn't really a reason at all, is it?

And saying you can't be bothered to "carry two devices" is ridiculous - your choice is;

A) Carry your WP7 phone and a tiny keyfob on your house keys

B) Carry your WP7 phone and a bloody great USB cable

And you're saying choice A is more hassle? Eh?!

Incidentally I have several USB keyfobs lying around doing nothing - let me have your address and I'll bung you one in the post. They were all sent to me by mates who used them to send me wedding photos.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim Coleman:
Wait - So you're dismissing an entire phone Operating System because you can't be arsed to pop a USB memory stick on your keychain?

Answer me this - exactly how much of the 8/16GB memory on a WP7 phone would you have put aside for carrying files around? Throw me a number.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesecondsfade:
I will probably eventually get a WP7 even if it never gets USB Mass Storage... but because it doesn't have it, I probably won't get it for a while. I'm just saying that if WP7 had USB Mass Storage today, I would probably get it now rather than later.

I use it for small office files for school, my personal budget xls, work, etc. I would probably use less than 100MB of space for extraneous files.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim Coleman:
Here is a link to a 2GB USB memory key the size of a 10p piece that goes on your keychain. It's £4.39. Problem solved.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesecondsfade:
Rather than continually saying, "Just get a USB drive and put it on your keychain", how about just choosing not to respond? That's not the solution I'm looking for. Even if it was, I think it's a good discussion to try and find out how one would go about doing it... just for the sake of continuing the development/hacking of WP7.

I do not want to put a USB drive on my keychain. It's annoying... and pulling my keys out and attaching them to the front of my PC at work is way more obnoxious than simply plugging my phone into a USB cable that's already attached to the computer at all times. So far I've heard lots of mixed information about whether the registry edit to allow mass storage mode is "safe" or not, or even a viable option. Microsoft says it's unsafe, some users say you can't move non-media files to it, some say you can. Which is it? Does Zune PC software ignore unrecognized files or does it delete them or something?

Also, I want to find out what I'd have to do to get Windows to recognize the device using this method without actually installing the Zune PC software. Is it a simple driver installation? Registry edit?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deeken:
I think you should hold off on WP7 for now if you want to use it as a USB mass storage device. So far there are no bullet proof methods to make this work, regardless of what hacks are available. If Windows Mobile is doing the job for you now why would you consider moving to a platform that is locked down? I want a new phone too but there are just too many limitations with WP7. Maybe in a few months those will be addressed and I'll reconsider.

I really do respect your opinion - if you don't want to carry around that dongle - don't do it.

I do think that some users by saying over an over again that you should buy a drive, are putting there own opinion ahead of yours, but thats not what this forum should be about.

I still tell you the following: You are missing a LOT of great thinks if you still are with wm6.x. It is really great here in wp7-land. It's improved my mobile experience by a couple hundred times. I know for sure, that I would not sacrifice this even if I had to carry around a dozen usb drives ;)

How hard is it to get it?

Please just wake up, you start to be funny.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KarmaXXK:
Nitpicking here...

No, it doesn't. USB Mass Storage is a protocol for sector-level data transfer, not just a file copying feature. The device still stays an MTPZ device, and that's not going to change.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 001mic:
Ehhm I think you should open a different thread.

The user who opened this thread wanted the functionality just to replace his usb drive. Therefore, your arguments makes no sense here.

The user who opened the thread don't wanna buy a usb drive, so ist not "solved" per se, but your objection still makes no sense.

Btw: I guess Microsoft thinks that the current solution is not very good just like you. I'm on the other hand overwhelmingly happier that they brought their product to market in the state is now and fix things later, as to wait a couple of extra months, till its implemented. If you don't agree - don't buy the phone and wait. No need to get angry.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JamesAllen:
Real Need, Obvious Need, Missing

I agree, don't buy the phone until you see the frequency of MS updates and the real likelihood that MS will correct this and other issues. I have hundreds of songs, videos, pictures, PDF documents, txt documents, Office Documents and others that I want on my phone. That is a basic need of mine and satisfied by WM and other OS's. It is not too much to expect. I don't expect to have to email them to myself, have an Internet connection to accomplish this or have to carry an extra device. This is an absurd situation and a treat to market other OS's against. Having said that, I am still going to wait until I see the upgrades and not give up on WP7. Like other potential customers (remember, we are the customers), I don't care what market conditions caused MS to release WP7 with features missing relative to the competition, they are still missing and no amount of counter balancing features (smoother UI etc.) will negate the fact that they are MISSING at a time when, to establish itself against more mature OS's, MS had to "hit a homerun", release a "game changer" etc. They did not. We are all banking on the resources of MS to be able to "catch up" in the very near future while the other OS's are also improving. IMHO

Mass Storage Hack?

Seriously, there's already a thread titled "is WP7 a flop?" for everyone not actually using WP7 to ***** about it.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sureloch:
I agree. Some people are fine with their devices the way they are, and some people are not. Some people are fine carring a phone and another device, like say a calculator. Others want a phone and a calculator in one. Modding devices is about making a device operate the way YOU want it to, not the way other people are fine with.

Hacks to make Zune devices operate like mass storage devices (accessable within the windows system) have been around nearly as long as Zune devices. The safety concerns are about as viable as they are with most other hacking. The biggest concern with "Zune device mass storage" is that many files are not recognized by the zune system. This can cause a small degree of confusion or slow down within the zune OS when it doesn't recognize the files on the device. Additionally you cannot typically access the "mass storage device" data from within zune unless you copy the data using the zune software.

One way to help minimize the affect of "mass storage data" on the Zune device is to copy the data into a folder, and not into the Root directory of the device. The registry hack is simple, completely reversable, and does not affect use of the Zune software at all.

So why not do it? As with all hacking and modding there are inherent risks of instablility and sluggishness to the OS or the device, so as always you MOD AT YOUR OWN RISK.
