I'm under the impression that the problem is with the SD card. I realize the HP touchpad doesn't have a slot for an SD card, but I think that's the default location for app and file storage? A little confused about the whole thing but moving on...
So my primary problem is my inability to download files. I had no problems with downloading pdfs for the first week that I had android os installed, but now every time I try, I get an error message "Out of Space: Free up some space on your phone and try again." I have 1.4GB free space in internal storage (using 87MB), and 9.5GB free space in SD card storage (1.3 GB used). I've cleared all the cache and browser history, the problem persists no matter which browser I'm using.
I also tried downloading file attachments from my email, both jpegs and pdfs, but it never works and I just get "Sorry, the attachment could not be downloaded." Previewing still works though.
Another problem I've noticed is that, when trying to open some of my apps, I get the message "Oops! We do not have the necessary access to the folder we normally use!" This is something else that had initially worked but now no longer does. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but nothing changed.
Please help. I've been using this instead of a laptop since I have a spine disorder and would greatly appreciate not having to revert back to lugging around a backpack half my size all over campus.
