SD card

Sun, 19 Dec 2010 14:07:58 GMT

Ok, downloaded the user guide from the SE web site, installed it into the "Others" as a Zip file (emanual.zip). Can access the file and read it when the SD card is mounted on the computer, however trying to read the guide on the phone gives the message "Cannot find user guide on memory card. The memory card has been removed or the files have been deleted".

Memory card is still in the phone, and the file is on the card.

Any ideas anyone?

Yes, wrong file in wrong place or wrong file in correct place or right file in wrong place. solution? I DON'T KNOW. Why are you doing it if a guide come preinstalled and working great???

I think he is referring to the X10 User Guide (Android 2.1).

Yep, referring to thje X10 user guide. Lost the guide off the phone when I updated to 2.1, but have, as stated, downloaded and re-installed on the SD card as per instructions on SE web site.

What is this comment meant to mean? I'm not asking about the online version of the user guide, but the guide you can download to replace one which has been lost during the update.

I remember downloading a pdf User Guide to my PC, is there one for the phone?

As for the phone, I view it online.

Yes, the phone comes with the user guide pre-installed on the SD card, at least it does in the UK.

Just tried to follow the instructions on the SE support for replacing and you are absolutely right it doesn't find it. I looked using Linda file manager and it was called emanual.zip.zip so I remounted it and then right clicked and removed the .zip that appears in the title as you are instructed and now in Linda it just says emanual.zip. So now when I tried using the User Guide tab it took an age to install (black screen with white circle please wait thingy) it has now installed.

Hope this helps!

HUH ???? too fast. Can i do the same to the emanual.zip in my SD Card? It was there since Android 1.6 (I think).

When the phone is connected to the computer the file shows up on the card as emanual.zip, and I can open and read the file. Just the phone doesn't seem to register the file exists on the SD card. Might try downloading the Linda file manager and see if that finds it.

Thank you for the replies folks.

No idea, deleted my old user manual before I tried installing the new one. Don't ever use it so thought I had nothing to lose!

I have emailed our Manager to let them know that the instructions are misleading.

I followed this to replace the one that was already on my phone, as I assume this covered 1.6 and therefore no longer any use so deleted it before installing the new one.

Once downloaded thats were you just need to name it emanual - not emanual.zip.

Re: SD card

gwhispererz — Sun, 19 Dec 2010 15:22:43 GMT

Ok, not an issue, I won't bother about it.

I am still able to read it online or on my PC (I doubt I will read it at all) :smileysilly:.

Hi Suze, renamed the file as emanual, without the zip part. Phone spent an age trying to open it, but has now succeded.

Thank you. Maybe the file shopuld be renamed as emanual in the SE instructions instead of emanual.zip.

suze — Sun, 19 Dec 2010 15:42:17 GMT

Yeah I thought it had got itself stuck in a loop when trying to install it but it got there eventually - its a big file obviously! Glad you are sorted. And I have passed the problem higher up so that hopefully the instructions can be made a bit clearer.

gwhispererz — Sun, 19 Dec 2010 15:58:13 GMT

Just an update. Downloaded file directly to X10 from the link provided by Suze. Followed instruction, renamed file to emanual.zip and it works. Quite a long wait though. Time to sleep. Nite ....
