Hey, Ravencajun!

12 years ago

I have a couple questions for you about my Pandigital Novel 9, if you can help.

1. I have seen people mention that they watch movies on this - do you know how? I have Youtube working, but haven't been able to figure this you.

2. I have an 8 gig mini SD card installed and 7 gigs are available, but I constantly have a message that says my phone storage is low. I think that the tablet is installing apps fom the mini SD to internal storage. Is there any way to install to the mini SD of to increase internal storage?

I appreciate any help you can you give.

Hi joann, I can try to help, I have not ever messed with that 9" version of the Novel, I know it came with Android 2.0, have you been checking the pandigital site for firmware updates, I know the one I had there were firmware updates listed on the website.

Since that novel does not come with android market loaded you will need other options for getting your apps, this is a good article with some options for you
Google Android Market Alternatives and must have e-reader applications
I would also get the getjar app so that you can get apps from there and the amazon app store app to get apps from there also. You will have to go into your settings and make sure you have checked to allow 3rd party or other app stores to install on your PDN.

As to where it is storing your apps, I keep special apps on all of mine that let me select where to put each app I aquire, there is an option that lets you select to move app to SD card. I have not used android 2.0 in so long I am not sure where but there is that option in your android settings, If you do not have a file manager app that would be one thing to get so you can keep track of all your apps and downloads and have the ability to move them. I use Astro file manager mostly. The app called apptosd is one that will tell you with each app if it can be moved to the sd card that makes it very easy. There are several apps with that name app 2 sd most are pretty much the same this one here is on amazon market
MoveApps - App 2 SD Free
this is a different one at getjar
APPtoSD

Once you have made sure you have that setting set for allowing 3rd party apps you can go here to get the getjar app which will then allow you to download and install apps from there.
GetJar app is available for download from here.
click on that green here and it will take you to the install for that app store install that then you can access getjar for lots of great apps.(be sure you are doing this directly from the PDN browser and with a good full charge or plugged in)

here is the one for amazon app store
Go to this link follow it down to the bottom you see the green blocks to download and install the app.
Download Amazon Appstore Android apk file:
or you can click on the other block that says direct install either one will get you the amazon app store app then you can access the amazon app store for lots of apps.
get the Dolphin HD web Browser via one of the alternative Android Markets and install the Youtube search plugin.

Likely the people that are saying they are watching movies have downloaded movies to an SD card and are watching them that way it works very well for that.

On some of the PDN's you could open the back and change out the stock mini SD card that came with it and put up to a 32GB one inside and then you of course can use up to a 32GB one externally. I do not know about that one you have.
However I can direct you to one of the best forums for PDN and you can ask there and I know they will be able to answer any thing you throw at them,
Pandigital Novel 9 Inch Android Tablet
In fact there were several youtube videos showing how to open them and do that change you could check for that on youtube.

Thanks! I already have the Amazon Market and will install get GetJar.

I checked out the SlateDroid site, and apparently you can't change out the internal memory or install apps to the storage card. I guess I'll just live with the message. It runs fine, and there's still space.

Thanks for your help.

Lynn, Are you using 'Windows XP', 'Vista', or some other operating system? You mentioned 'Superantispyware' removing "several spywares". Have you also run a full scan with your 'anti-virus' program? If not, update and run a full scan. Something else I overlooked when I read your initial post, I see you're using AOL 9.1. I'm still using AOL 9.0 SE, so there may be some changes to the way things are done in 9.1 as far as repairing the software. I'm not even sure they have the same features in 9.1 so let's forget about 'rebuilding the AOL adapter' for now. Someone else using that version of AOL will have to jump in here. If you have the 'AOL' icon down in the system tray (by the clock) you can right click that and see what options there are. System Restore is painless and if you don't get the results you want you just 'undo' the restore. If you had any kind of virus or spyware infection and you restore to a time when your machine was infected, yes, it will restore those infections, but you can always run your anti-virus and anti-spyware applications again to remove them. I can't say for certain whether or not 'system restore' will affect your bookmarks but it is always a good idea to back up anything on your computer that you cannot afford to lose or want the hastle of having to replace. There can never be enough said about the importance of backing up important data! I use Acronis True Image which makes an image of the complete hard drive, sector by sector, that will restore everything including operating system, programs, documents, pictures, data, etc. to the 'T'. This is on a second drive in my PC in case my primary drive should fail. I also have an external hard drive where I back up 'My Documents'. "I also ran ccleaner right after the updates (I thought at first that that was the problem) - should I rerun that as well?" No, running CCleaner again is not going to fix the problem, nor do I see where CCleaner would have created your problem, unless by chance, if you also used the 'Registry' feature in CCleaner, it may have removed something. Anytime you use any kind of registry cleaner it should have the option of making a backup in case things go wrong, which is exactly why most cleaners, some don't, have the backup option. Either that or create a 'system restore' point before you use it. Using a 'registry cleaner' is a hot topic. Some swear by them, others swear at them! I personally have use Macecraft 'Reg Supreme' for years with no ill effects. "There may have been an easier way to do this, but I just copied and pasted all the bookmarks I made_____". There is: Internet Explorer has an 'import/export' feature for transferring or backing up your cookies and favorites. Click on 'File' in the Menu bar at the top of the IE browser, select 'Import/Export', and follow the Wizard. You can save them to a file on your computer for retrieval later if you should need to do so using the same wizard. I made a folder called 'Backups' in the 'My Documents' folder where I store a copy of my 'cookies' and 'favorites'. In Firefox, I'm still using version 2.0.0.16, if you go to 'Bookmarks' in the Menu bar and select 'Organize bookmarks' and click on 'File', you'll find an 'Import' and 'Export' wizard. Drink some 'brave' juice and try the system restore first to see if that works. Witz

With Windows XP you can resize your pics by right clicking on the pic, go to Send To and select Mail Recipient... You will then have the option of making your pic smaller... It will come up as an Attachment in an e-mail... From there you can drag the Attachment to another folder or your desktop then delete the e-mail. If you are using your cell phone to take pics to post on the internet make sure you turn off your GPS first !!!... There are bad people out there who can retrieve the GPS coordinates from the pic and find out just where the pic was taken, down to the room in your house! Hugs, Rita

Picking up DH and DS at Minneapolis airport tonight at MIDNIGHT,ugh. That means we won't be home til 2AM, but I still plan to get up and go to exercise class then spend the rest of the weekend with my boys. I want to see pictures of their trip and hear all about it. They are returning from 3 weeks in Amsterdam/Germany/Poland and Ukraine where they visited DD. I was planning to go but the old dog needed me here, and I don't think he could have survived the kennel. Never thought he'd still be around when we started planning the trip in January. Really, really glad my guys will be home safe and sound.

Calling For Ravencajun-PDN ?
Q

no idea why it would say that. Is there some reason you are not just getting them directly to the PDN? Also be sure you do get one of the better browsers some of those already have the flash and stuff in them. I have mini Opera and Dolphin browser, there is also a firefox version. You will run into some apps that will not work with the version of Android that is on the PDN, some only work on the newer versions. Since you have done the big updated to your PDN and you do have the white one you should be able to just hit the market app on your device and download right to the PDN, it will show the little download arrow up in the top notifications bar then you can swipe down that notification bar and tap it and it should take you right to it. he shows pretty much how to do that in the video I linked to even though he is doing it on a black PDN which is not nearly as functional as the white one.

you are very welcome. My PDN version was able to change the internal card, now they did not plan on people doing that but those crafty people at slatedroid figured out right away how to do that and in some cases re seating the memory card would fix certain problems so then pandigital started telling people how to do it for those problems.

Also not sure if yours came with Slideme app store or not some did, that is another great source for apps. Always check getjar first because they have a LOT of the pay apps for free on their site in the gold section.

Here is a link that might be useful: slide me SAM
