Buying and adding a MicroSD card
to the ZTEMajestyProLTE
and it's not working to extend
the OS, just data, no apps,
so wondering how much of it's
what?
Body
Original Text
Expandable to 32Gig
and add a store brand
32Gig MicroSD
and it's not working to move
the apps to SD to make more space,
so an extremely limited machine
at < 8 Gig Storage
and less than 1 Gig RAM equivalent
having to delete apps from the
main memory/storage
after filling it up about the first day,
with all the stuff, and wondering
some apps will move, if the machine/
OS were capable, and some will not,
Google's Apps for instance like to be on
main storage, some games don't go SD,
and over time a Samsung tablet,
without any cell/data chip,
only WiFi would expand,
the Alcatel,
some of them, would expand,
depending upon how I put it in
(one I did one way, to learn,
and one the other,
I, of course, wanted
the best of both worlds,
portable and OS extending,
but no luck there...),
and looked up some things
after the fact, like
Tom's Hardware Guide,
describing some big name brands
will, and some will not,
I had problems originally
understanding it, and maybe still do,
if machine/device that have an external
slot, perhaps a misnomer,
as this one is inside the case,
good for somethings,
less likely for a raindrop to get in?
but not voiding warranty like the battery
removal, but also doesn't fall out as
easily, and may have regulations for
size of LiPo/ LiPoly/LithIon and
security, taking it in, all built in,
may have some rules, instead of
must remove battery, like ammo
actually, travelling, but if not common
size and easily available batteries,
say like GoPros and other cameras,
WearableCameras2015
many outlets have them,
and charge up on one,
and replace in another,
don't have time to recharge,
and switching machines
takes too long,
say one configured one way,
and boot time v. configuring,
storing where/how,
setup, etc...
Anyways, given trying those
and not really into the LTE part,
as that costs money, learned
a little about 4G v. LTE,
(Long Term Evolution),
a little after 4G came out,
and not all of 4G
which may be a (1?) Gig/Second,
Upper Limit, actual rate maybe
1/10th of that, kind of like the newer
AC models of WiFi dual band,
and other stuff, that has passed me
by, somewhat, N, 802.11N,
and S were both old and
New at the same time,
S being Mesh Networking,
with OLPC XO-1, but not in 2,
and N being relatively new
compared to A, B, etc..
back in the day, but geezer
talk and get back to it...
Trying to diagnose the MyHospital
crashing problems,
start with a clean machine/
device, don't load all the extras,
and not run out of Storage,
which is confusing term,
given virtual memory,
swap space on disk for
RAM equivalent,
and hard drive now solid state,
not SSD, but similar,
not spinning spindles, disks,
like the olden days,
but quality of memory cards
price comparisons,
say $10 for 32Gig
house brand but costs in privacy
and problems just buying them
with receipts and emailing those,
not cooperating, wanted/said he stepped
threatened to step on my merchandise,
bought some other discount stuff,
old Parallax Basic Stamp, and AdaFruit,
and other clearance, and didn't
want to lose the receipt,
so gave personal info,
the clerk added what I omitted/
deleted verbally he said publicly,
(I notice the paper receipt says
"we value your privacy, " or similar
then goes into just online the next sentence)
risking privacy, already had
kids staring, and later a line formed behind,
so the problems leading up to Black Friday
continue, poor get screwed, treated
badly, and likely try to charge,
ala CVSConspiracy2017
i guess they wanted me to buy
Blu devices, and the Big Box
(= expensive) mentality,
when I had pushed for DIY,
when asked but the sales probably don't
know that, the management may
have changed, and other issues,
abound...
Cash makes a difference,
maybe use a bank card and get your
info automagically added to confirm,
but then didn't receive, with hateful,
gang like violence, verbal, in the background,
and someone fired again?
Later a drunk like attacked,
someone said he just got fired,
cut him some slack?
and then went to get even,
stalking?
( StalkingByProxy2013
StalkersBeDamned2016
and many other references to those up here)
Also, since no e-receipt,
no ticket number
for How Was Your Experience?,
like customer surveys,
likely deliberately covering up the abuse,
that didn't work, and others may have
gotten into emails, and other problems,
selling security software on the Samsung
and that wants Location, and other problems,
to possibly be mentioned elsewhere,
and legal measures...
Google ironically wants to know
where you do your holiday shopping
with new Maps and local guides...
Review a place, get some credits
for something, and take pictures of
places, get something, all on a rewards
like scheme, but nothing mentioned
of legalities of taking photos much
less video (might have conversations...)
inside someone else's store/ location...
Modified Text
Lots of branching/
going on tangents above,
getting angry at the remembered
experience of just shopping for a
cheap $10 32Gig card
where other places it might be
3-4+x the cost, name brand
like SanDisk, Samsung memory,
and others...
What's Missing?
OS releases matter
Oreo may exists,
Nougat (sp?) likely popular
the newest I have is
Marshmellow (6?)
with some minor updates,
LolliPop (5?, I don't think I have)
KitKat (4.xx?) supported it,
but who makes and
modifies the system software
ultimately decides if it is
only extra storage (portable),
or can run as helping the OS,
which severely limits
what can be done with some
machines/devices, imnsho...
What Can Be Found?
FUD
(Fear Uncertainty Doubt)
Must pay more for things
to work, buy the best names
you can, or you're screwed,
and pay for consulting,
need sales, and other dependency
issues abound..
Marketing speak,
which is meaningless,
technically...
Terms got muddled with 4G
and LTE, read up on some of that,
like VHS and BetaMax,
and other standards, put one out,
and see how the market responds,
if more went with LTE than the original
4G, then we can mush them together
into 4G LTE as most people wouldn't
know the difference anyways...
What Can Not Be Found?
Reasonable experiences for poor,
non technical, and even for technical
poor...
TechShop closed
YouthBikeSummit2017
toured it, I went looking during
lunch, didn't fit my schedule,
and wasn't really allowed in,
back, had to be with the tour,
but walked the store part of it,
and maybe put up... Chapter 7,
not 11 restructuring, and their
website talks of their accomplishments,
in PDF glossy terms..
US ones closed, foreign
staying open, as different corp
entities, TechShop Global or similar,
a few out there... Paris, Dubia (sp?)
How To Analyze?
Lenses
Google
Ultimately the Android authority...
Sales
Whatever gets money and out the door...
Users
Well, losers, the genera term,
we didn't build it,but if no one uses,
and buys it, maybe not worth the trouble...
Developers
Might know a little more than the others,
Nexus owners, other in the know,
started early with the standard
machine, but alas, all the world
goes Pixel2 by now, when some
don't even have Pixel1s...
Journalism
Blogging and others, citizen journalists,
might even have advertisers to think
about pissing off...
Google's AdSense?
BuyerBeware
Well, money is the root of all evil,
unless you are making some off of
it, then maybe it's ok...
Assumptions
Maybe the old SYMS tagline:
"an educated consumer is our best
customer" (tm elsewhere),
parsing that most educated people
would need to dress up,
like suit and tie,
unlike geeky skunkworks
or Apple black t shirts,
and counter culture, casual
Fridays, etc...
Time Limits
Memory cards and standards change,
Compact Flash and that standard
is/ was kind of parallel, but more
BetaMax 1/4 inch video Tape,
when the world went DVD
now BluRay?

Conclusion
Summary of experience or similar
So no winning as poor,
really, one blog/ forum,
you bought Chinese,
you're screwed,
sounded typical Nationalism,
but most are probably Chinese
of one label or another,
Apple may be an American
company, but made in China,
and Taiwan, and other former/
South Korea, and other Asian
differences, which I won't get into,
(for now) as Trump just went there,
and China holds most of America's debt,
IIRC, so might not want to be
so, well, Trump about anything...
Keep trying, some learning,
but much bleeding edge,
spending to learn, much like
college, classes, and learn
by doing, experiment with low
cost (relatively), and learn
from there...
Discussion
A place for feedback on the page presented
What checks can you do?
Ahead of time?
Or burned, then whine about it,
maybe online?
Yelp for phones, when no data plan?
Can't look up, in the store,
as don't bring out a phone,
as they may claim that is theirs'
unless they don't sell those,
and then what software to look up
on?
Sales just wanted to put stickers on
Cards, hit and run, sticker, get sales,
and commission, I talked with one
guy who was buying for a new dash
cam, and all, or some of the issues
with that, a rag top, road rage,
forward facing, backward facing,
maybe do something with some
of it? What would you do if someone
you knew was killed on the road?
Pre Vision Zero?
one of the 301 traffic deaths
about 50% not wearing seat belts
this holiday weekend, nationally?
That is probably mostly vehicular, not
bicyclists, pedestrians, and other modes
of transit...
Most bicyclists and motorcyclists
don't wear seatbelts, last I knew...
RoboDog excepted, but he/she/it
doesn't really have riding leathers...
Much less a wetsuit...
