Re: Issue on download...
Bob Herrmann
Hi Thanks for the info.
Hi Dudley,
Is are you using wifi or a cell dataplan?
Does this happen repeatedly? Seems like you are getting "Connection
timed out" and "Network unreachable", which sound like networking
issues. Was the phone in one place during the entire download, or did
it move around?
Did the phone go "to sleep" while downloading? Can you try going into
"Settings/Applications/Development" and check "Stay Away", and then try
downloading when plugged into the charger?
It sure is annoying that after a failure like these it marks the podcast
as "downloaded" and won't try to get it again.... although thats easy
to fix... I will look into that some.
Thanks!

Hi Dudley,
I'm quite surprised to see "Error: Permission denied"
I wonder if that has to do with accessing the SD Card. Has anything
changed recently with your SD Card?
If you plug the phone into the computer and browse the phone like it is
a disk, do you see the "carcast" directory? Can you create new files on
the SD Card?
You can also try rebooting your phone entirely (power off) and power on
again. Sometimes the phone and SD Card can get a little "funny."
Sounds like CarCast should add some kind of basic read/write test to
ensure the SD Card is actually present and writable.
Thanks

Related: if you plug in the phone, do you have it set to
automatically mount the SD card as a drive on the computer? CarCast
doesn't like that.

This is present, in the Subscriptions management subsystem. Doesn't
look like the downloads bit uses it, at all. A quick example:
ExternalMediaStatus status = ExternalMediaStatus.getExternalMediaStatus();
if (status == ExternalMediaStatus.unavailable){
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Unable to read
subscriptions from sdcard", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
return;
}
