Hi
I recently got a Kingston 8GB class 4 microSD card and installed it onto my captivate , when i connect to windows i can see both my 16GB internal Storage and my 8 GB microSD card , but none of the file managers seem to show the microSD card .
i tried several apps like SDcard speed tester , QSysteminfo etc they all just show the info about the internal Memory and dont really show any info about the microSD card
in the defualt camera option settings theres an option to select stoage and when i select memory card instead of phone and when i connect to windows i can see the photo being stored in my microSD card
also in the filemanager i see a path called SDCard\SD this seems like a soft like to my microSD card
my question is how do i make all these apps to recognize my microSD and say run a speed test on it.
any help appreciated.
Thanks

Not exactly what you are trying to say in this quote here, but sdcard/sd IS your external sd card.

Yes
/Sdcard is the internal storage (sometimes call internal SDcard or phone storage)
/SDcard/SD is your external SD card ( MicroSD)

You might try Root External 2 Internal SD. Download it from PlayStore. I don't know whether it works for your device or not. Check it yourself.
hi,
I have 3 storages on my phone.
1- phone storage 500mb
2- internal SD card- 2gb (this SD card is embedded somewhere)
3-external 2nd SD card 16 gb
my phone is rooted and I am able to move any app from phone storage to internal sd card using link2SD app but I would like to remove all to external SD card. It looks like link2SD doesnt recognize this 2nd SD. so how can I do it? what is the best way?
thanks
When I check the storage options, it shows System Storage, Memory Card, and External Storage. I have a 16 GB micro SD and I want to move my apps and app data to my SD card but can't figure out the difference between Memory Card and External Storage.
Does anyone know what the two types of storage mean? Which one is my actual SD Card?
Thanks!

I don't have tmobile, but I'm going to answer and any tmobiles out there can correct me if I'm wrong. External is actually your phone's left over internal ram and memory card is your sd card.

I'd wager that System Storage is the /system partition. Memory Card would be internal storage, and External Storage is your removable sdcard.
Also, you should move your apps to your sdcard in Settings > Storage & USB or setup adoptable storage.
I have a One A9 running stock Android 7 original ROM. I am getting the low storage warning as I have used 15.5 out of 16gb.
I have installed a 32gb SD card and planned on formatting this as internal. I tried this but then noticed I cannot see the SD card when pluged into my laptop. It was only showing the internal with capacity of 16GB, not the 16+32gb as I had hoped.
I then formatted it back to portable and planned to move certain apps to SD. But in App settings, not a single app can be moved to the SD.
So I am stuck now. Anyone know how I can view the additional storage on my laptop if I format the SD as internal??
Or if that is not possible, how do I move apps to SD?
Anyone able to assist?

afaik, you can only move apps to the sd card when its formatted as internal storage, not portable.. Pre-installed apps can't be moved to the sd card.

Did you moved/migrated your files to the sd card after formatted as internal?

This is what I tried doing. When I connected the phone to my laptop via USB, windows explorer could not see the SD card. All it showed was the original internal memory.

maybe because you didn't migrated your existing data from your internal memory to the sd card ? When using the sd card as the internal memory you'll only see the sd card from your computer (I'm assuming the opposite is also true), read the help page linked above.
