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 first noticed I had an issue with Voice recorder. I get an error regarding the inability to save the file to the SD card because I dont have one, or I dont have enough space. This has been happening for the last 3 or 4 rom versions.
Nobody else had reported this.. (That I can find) So it's just me.
I noticed finally that when I go to the settings tab in sense, and choose "SD card and Phone Storage" The SD card section shows 0.00 mb.
I think I understand now.. Something in Sense thinks I have no SD card.
My music works fine from SD using the music tab, Windows memory sees the SD, applications and all that work fine. The only 2 issues I seem to have is that sense settings show 0.00mb and voice recorder fails.
Any ideas?
I dont know if it's Sense, as much as it's some HTC software.. Hence the reason Audio Recorder sees no SD card.
I switched cards as a test with my brother-in-law running the same rom on his VZW TP2, and his sense saw my card fine. Mine phone did NOT see his. So it's not the card.
I had this problem on an HTC HD2 (TMO USA). I went through every step you did and tried formatting an SD card anyhow just to see if the process would trigger something to recognize the card, no go.
Finally I backed everything up and did a factory reset. That solved the problem and now my SD card is recognized.
Got it! - Almost..
OK.. Figured it out.
The SD is fine.. Only Sense does not see it.
The cause is when I use HTC Network Folder, or Resco Explorer and Make the "Network" Folder visible to applications.
I now have 3 choices when I install apps, or when I save files.
Main memory
Network
Storage Card.
Sense is clearly looking at the second item for SD card stats.
Enabling the network folder makes the Storage Card the 3rd item.
So.. I figured it out.. but anyone have an idea to tell sense where to look??
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?

A few days ago, I tried taking some pictures with my Droid Charge and the pics would not save. I tried in the stock camera app and in CameraZoom EX. CameraZoom gave me an error message "failed to save photo to SD car (error code=2). I figured I was out of space.
My Titanium Backup scheduled backup did not run the next day. So, I assumed I was out of space.
I connected the phone to my PC and deleted some pics and music. WHen I was in WIndows explorer, it said I had about 2 GB free after doing all of this.
When playing music today, I noticed files that I had deleted before still present on the phone. I thought this was weird. I went back and checked and all the stuff I thought I deleted was still there.
I searched on the CameraZoom EX error code 2. It directed to remove and reinsert the card and reboot. I tried that. I have tried unmounting and then mounting with no success either.
My phone seems to be working fine, but I cannot delete or add anything to the microSD card (the original that came with the phone). It does not matter if I use my WIndows 7 laptop, desktop, or various file managers on the phone itself.
ANy idea what is going on?
To me, it sounds like the SD card is going bad. Not a common occurrence but it can happen. You're lucky you can still read from it... I would suggest getting a new SD card (Verizon might even give you a new one free) and copying your data to it before sectors start going bad. By the way, how did you manage to full up 32 gb?
Or I could be blowing this out of proportion and it's just a matter of write protection on the card.

Another option is to copy everything off the SD card, format it, and try to write everything back. Sometimes a format can joggle a bugged card.
It is mostly music that I have on there. I am not sure how write protection would have gotten on the microSD card or how I would remove it. It does not have a physical togge like an SD card does.
I think I may have to try re-formatting. Ugh.

Corrupted SD card. Call VZW and be nice on the phone, explain the situation, hopefully they send you a new one.
Hmmm, this is interesting. I cannot even format the microSD card. I tried to do it through Windows Explorer. It looked like it worked. I then tried to copy files back on and it choked halfway through on a movie, I think.
Anyway, what was more interesting is that when I looked at the drive again, everything was back where it originally was. So, the re-formatting must not have actually worked.
I then tried to erase the SD through the options in Android. I unmounted. I then selected Erase SD card. After rebooting (to just be safe), the SD card still is untouched.
THis microSD card has become an impenetrable force. More realistically, it must have write-protection enabled somehow as that is the only thing I can think of.
The question is how do I find out if write protection is enabled and how to disable it? Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks.
Hi
I don't know if this is an issue with the handset, Lollipop or what, but I had a hell of a struggle assigning custom ringtones to a friend's contacts. It didn't matter where the contact was stored (handset or google account), only the default ringtone would play regardless of what had been chosen.
Having seen issues where Android doesn't like (perhaps understandable) the external SD card for storage, such as Apps, I assumed this might be a problem, so moved all the mp3s to the internal storage...still the same problem.
Removed the external SD card and everything worked fine...RESULT!
Since the card had previously been used in a BlackBerry I then assumed that there was a problem either with the format or even that perhaps the mp3s were in a directory that I could not determine. After recovering all the data, the card was reinserted and reformatted through the "Storage" option in "Settings". I did assume that everything should work no that the SD card had been reformatted correctly...nope!
It seems that the ringtones will only work if the SD card is removed, regardless of the fact that the ringtones are on the internal memory and the SD card has just been formatted by the phone and contains nothing other than the file/directory structure that Lollipop created itself.
I thought this strange and wondered if anyone could shed some light on why. I only ask because without the SD card, the phone is a little tight on memory.
I did trawl the site and net for such answers, but only found people telling me that it can be done. Me, I have a Moto G (1st Gen), love it and have no need for contact specific ringtones...I'd only assume someone else's phone was ringing, lol.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Hello there, first poster in XDA here. Let me tell you my issue that's been driving me crazy for the past weeks.
I've been using a Motorola Moto G3 for about two years now, running Marshmellow, with a Toshiba 32GB SD Card formatted as internal storage. My problem started a few weeks ago, when I tried to backup my Whatsapp files from internal storage to the SD Card part, and I think something went wrong in the process, since it did, indeed, move my files, but, since then the SD Card would unmount now and then, by its own accord.
I assumed my SD Card went corrupt and tried to save most of my data, but, as I said, it would unmount itself, lasting each time less and less time mounted until, finally, my phone stopped recognizing it. I played along, not being able to save anything else on the phone, since I had no more free space.
The thing is, yesterday I bought a new SD Card since I finally discovered my old one was corrupted, and I formatted this new one as internal storage as well, but now I still can't save save pictures, whether I download them or try to make a screencap. I can still download new apps, but it's quite a pain.
Anyone know how could I fix this?
Thanks in advance
EDIT:
Oh, and to list things I've already tried:
- Tried updating Android version
- Tried shutting down and rebooting a few times
- Tried wiping out data from "External Storage" and "Media Storage" in the Apps section then rebooting
I don't think you understand "adopted storage"... once you make a card adopted (internal) storage, you don't have any external storage, or an sd card from an apps point of view.

Yeah, I know. However, when I go to Settings->Storage, it still recognizes the SD Card. I would show you some screenshots, but then again, I can't save pictures. The thing is. I thought I couldn't download stuff because my old SD card was corrupted, but even with the new one, I still can't manage to get it done.

That's ok, I know what it a looks like.
Did you perform the migration of data in the adoption phase? If not, there should be an option in the 3-dot menu on the storage page.

The thing is, as soon as I moved the files, the SD card started unmounting itself from time to time. I succesfully moved my Whatsapp files, but everything went downhill from there. I don't know if that's what you were asking...

You need a different/better microSD card if that is occurring.
And no, migrate data is part of the adoption process and if it didn't complete then the card isn't being used properly. Once the card is adopted you should not be selecting internal or external storage or moving things, that defeats the purpose of adopted storage.
The reality is adopted storage is garbage, it doesn't work quite as well as we all hoped... Which is why many manufacturers disable it, and most experienced users don't recommend it.
