sdcard breaks storage #182

Closed elandorr closed 1 month ago

elandorr commented 1 month ago

Added an sdcard - now all data is gone within the app.

It seems it cannot handle having external storage added.

This device unfortunately does not support encrypting the sdcard and adding it to internal storage so external stays separate.

I DO NOT want my private data on the unencrypted external storage. I'd like SimpleTimeTracker to use the internal one.

It'd be great if you could add this distinction or at least exclusively use internal storage.

Thank you very much!

(I use it on an "older" device and, while laggy, your app is the only one that still works!)

Update: This is much bigger than just SimpleTimeTracker.

Turns out, some devices simply break in a myriad of ways if you insert a fucking sdcard. You can't save data anymore unless you reflash, data disappears mysteriously, the list goes on.

People reported this shit years ago but of course google is fucking more concerned about raping you every which way, instead of fixing the million critical bugs in this piece of garbage.

DO NOT INSERT SDCARDS INTO ANDROID WITHOUT FIRST HAVING A FULL BACKUP AND BEING PREPARED TO SPEND A DOZEN HOURS SETTING IT UP AGAIN

There's really no point for SimpleTimeTracker to investigate.
