I can't find a solution anywhere for this problem, nothing I makes apps or data move to my sd card.
Is anyone (are you even able to) install apps or save data to the external sd card on the Atrix? It seems like most systems are set up with /mnt/sdcard as the external, so I cant get any app2sd programs to work, they stay on my phone.
I'm rooted.
I have the setting in applications to install on the external, I also made the default storage external, but everything still saves on my phone.
I even formatted my sd card into Fat and ext2 (and swap), all primary.
I searched and everyone says the same thing, and it keeps saving on my phone.
Do i need to somehow change it so my external is mnt/sdcard?

Hi! I apologize, I cant seem to get the search function to work on my phone.
Anyway, I just bought the samsung infuse 4g the other day. One of the first things I did was change the default storage location for everything to the sd card. It worked fine but today I did a factory reset (just to see how it worked). Now I cant remember how to set it again. Just to clarify, it was an option to send EVERYTHING to sd card ( internal sd im guessing, the one with 13 gigs of space). Everything meaning contacts, apps, media, photos and such. I know how to do those thing individually, but there was an option for everything. Anybody know? Thanks.in advance..
If you have an external sd card, setting the camera save option to sdcard saves them to external sd card.
Do you know that? Dont know why, but it does. Everything else goes to internal sd card as far as ive seen, even game data. I never set it to do that, it just does.
I'm using MIUI-1.12.9 with APPS2SD after preparing a 512MB partition for the apps on my 8GB Class2 MicroSD Card. The remaining section I used to store files for flashing, music, data, etc.
Now all of a sudden, my phone gives me 'You may remove the SD Card' error. It shows the MicroSD Card as unavailable and even when I connect vias USB, the computer cannot detect it. I tried connecting the card separately to the computer using an adapter, but no luck. However, it still reads the EXT3 partition where all the apps are stored as all the apps are still available to me.
Any ideas on what could be wrong and how to resolve this? I want to backup all my apps first but I can't do that with out Android recognizing the card
I don't have a solution for you, but just out of curiosity why in the hell do you use APPS2SD on Defy? After you install the ROM there is around 1GB of free space on the internal memory. This is more than enough to install over 100 apps. Moreover you can move some of the to SD-card from the interface (Manage Applications).
I figured, the more space I free up the more breathing space right? Anywhich way it was working great. No noticeable lag even though I use a Class 2 SD Card. When all of a sudden after over a week, it suddenly gives me a notification "You can safely remove your SD Card now." Huh? Even after reboot, it gives me the same message. I took out the card and plugged it directly in and it doesn't read, but the EXT3 partition still works fine!
I could just get a new card and start from scratch. But I'm intrigued by this error! Gotta get to the bottom of this. Didn't get any response on the General forum, so I figured I'd try my luck here at the risk of annoying a few people. Can anyone help with any suggestions?
I've just rooted my Springboard with ICS 4.0.3 and have been trying to move some apps to the SD card because even though
it's reporting I have 5gb open on internal it won't let me update or install anything if my primary storage is set to internal now.
It has to be set with the SD card as primary.
Anyway I have a couple of OBDII apps, Torque Pro and Dashcommand and it seems now that I changed primary storage to SD
when I open the apps they don't see the profiles I already set up for my car.
It doesn't matter if I change the location of the apps are on the tablet or sd. I tried moving them back and forth using the settings in Android
and tried using Link2SD. Still the same thing.
The only way the profiles come back is if I change Androids primary storage back to internal.
Is there any way I can move these apps complete data storage to the sd card with the app? Or make the apps look for the data back on the internal?
I think it can't find it because with it set as sd for primary the app looks for that data on the SD.
Can someone give an idea what to do other than redo the profiles or reinstalling it?
Partitioning is not working correctly, when I partition my SD card which is 64GB it only shows 9GB available when I plug it into my PC. Also, I can't use the ext file systems for some reason, only FAT32. I can partition it if I plug it into my old phone but when I put it back into the phone I am currently using it still shows only 9GB. I want a 50GB partition for music and other media and a smaller partition for apps and app data. Is there a way I can get this set up correctly or is there a way to put app data on the SD through the terminal?
Edit: I figured out a workaround. Still having the SD card problems but I can ignore that now. I set the download location to the SD card using the terminal, allowing me to move apps from within the settings menu. Then I used FolderMount to move the data of apps that have a lot of it, like Facebook, Spotify, etc.
I can't seem to find this exact problem anywhere, so forgive me if its been posted somewhere already.
I used MoDaCo's method to enable adoptable storage quite some time ago. I partitioned my
SD card into 2 volumes and kept one as an external SD card and one for the adoptable storage.
Initially, when I would plug my phone into my Windows pc, it would recognize both an internal and external card. Now, it does not. I *think* the change may have happened around the same time I upgraded to nougat.
Currently the phone seems to recognize both partitions - in fact the camera defaults to putting new photos on the external partition. When I go to Settings> Device Maintenance > Storage it lists :
53.5GB / 64 GB for the internal and an "SD Card" with 12.6GB / 23.4 GB.
ES File Explorer lists:
Internal Storage - 19/34 GB
External Storage - 12/23 GB
However, when I plug it into my PC, it shows my device, i double click on my device and it shows 2 hard drives, both with the same size. And if you click on either, you access the exact same files - which are internal files.
Anyone have any idea how to fix this? I would really appreciate the help.
Thanks!
I have attached a couple of screenshots from the PC and the phone in case it helps clear up my less than clear explanation. Thanks again.
Since it looks like this is some odd twist of fate that has bitten me in the ass - I have a followup question. If I turn off my phone, remove the flash drive, and put it into a PC machine will everything be ok or will I wind up crying myself to sleep at night? In other words, since there are 2 partitions (the encrypted, adoptable storage one and the normal external sd card one), windows should ignore the encrypted and just see the external SD one right? If I do this, windows isn't going to freak at the encryption and jack something up is it? I would rather not have to reinstall all the apps I have on the card.
Thanks again in advance.
