[Q] Acer Liquid E2 shows I only can move1,65gb apps2SD while I put 8gb card, why? - General Questions and Answers

Hello,
because there is no specific forum section for this device I ask my question here, I hope the mods can move it to the correct forum section...
Yesterday I bought a brand new Acer Liquid E2, I love the phone but there are problems!
First: I put a 32gb MicroSD card in the phone and it crashed and now my 32gb MicroSD card is damaged!
Then: I put a 8gb MicroSD card in the phone, it has recognised the card but when I try to move apps to sd card the phone shows that it has only 1,65gb memory while I have 8gb MicroSD capacity!!!
Can anyone tell me for God's sake why the hell I only can move 1,65gb apps on SD while I have more memory!!!???
I hope we can fix that problem otherwise I will turn my phone back.
Thanks in advance

I have an acer liquid e2 and encountered that problem to
the problem is that you only can move apps to the internal SD-Card
there are 3 different memory "cards" on the acer e2
4gb internal memory splitted in two parts
- 1.65 gb usable as internal SD (sdcard0)
- and the rest is the internal memory for the android OS and other stuff
Your external SD card (sdcard1)
When you move apps to sd it will automatically move them to sdcard0 wich is only 1,65GB
somwhere
There is a way to switch the sdcard0 and sdcard1 so you can move as many apps to your sd as it is big but you need root to do this
rooting the acer liquid E2 is still a bit experimental but soon everything will be possible with our E2 its an awesome phone for the relatively low price so don't turn it back so soonsomwhere
I saw this somewhere on a french android forum will post the link if i can find it

Hi,
An official update from Acer is on its way to allow external SD to be used for apps. Should be there soon.
Root is not experimental it's very easy to do and you also can get CWM recovery, a way to swap internalSD and externalSD plus a way to extand internal memory (won't be necessary when Acer releases its update).
I have all this written in French but lack time to translate those in English. Don't hesitate to go to the forum request thread so XDA opens a forum for the E2

Has this update (ability to move or install apps to ext SD card) now available? Can someone provide a link, please? I tried to find it in Acer's web site but found nothing.
Thanks!

It's being distributed as an OTA update so you're phone should warn you of the availability (unless you're rooted).
I have the WW_GEN1 version available here . Just copy it to SDcard and flash through recovery.

[Q] Can't mount SD card SGH-T989

Hi guys,
I tried to find solution but couldn't find. the solutions were for different phone and etc. so not sure if that would apply to my case this is why want to make sure will get right fix for the issue
Phone was working fine for a couple months but couple days ago I noticed that I can't take pictures because it can't mount sd card
Well I'm thinking I will restore from backup but guess what I can't because clockwork can't see the sd card so I'm kinda stuck here. I think this is a phone's internal memory card not the micro sd card. Am I right?
Thanks for help in advance and if there is a thread with same issue and device please send me a link as I couldn't find it.
Quick info about phone
sgh-t989
android version 2.3.7
baseband verion T989UVKL1
Kernel Version 2.6.35.14+ SGS2-Streamline #3
Mod Version CayongenMod-7.2.0-RC0-373_R6-Kang-SGHT989-KANG
not sure if this is enough info but if you need anything else please ask
thanks for help
Oh well today I had some free time so I sat down and tried to look for fix, turns out it is was external micro sd issue which failed.
Phone was setup to use external card. So after I told phone go and use internal memory rebooted and all good, inserted smaller micro sd card, just to have some additional memory and all is good. So here you go if you will have something similar going with your phone maybe that will help you.
how did you tell the phone to use internal memory? i'm running across this same problem where my external sd card is not being mounted or read

[Q] Thl v11 Mtk6575 SD as internal memory

Hi, I've successfully rooted my phone (Thl v11) using Bin4ry and now I'd like to use my external SD card as internal memory. Unfortunately the internal memory of the phone is only a bunch of MB and I can't download app even if I will install them on the SD.
Is there anyone able to help me?
I found some guides on this forum about how to swap SD and internal memory but the ones I found were always dedicated to certain phones.
I noticed there are no posts about this Thl phone on this forum, but it's kinda cool and cheap.
Really hope someone can help me.
Thanks in advance,
monchib
Anyone?
Please...
i have the same problem me too please help!!
hi guys, you have to install link2sd first, so format your sd with 2 partitions, first one is a primary partition fat32 formatted, second one is a primary partition ext4 formatted (use a program on pc, i use gparted on linux). Now you can insert sd in android device and open link2sd, it asks you wich partition you want to use, choose ext4 so it says to restart device, restart and open link2sd, now you can link your apps (in configuration menu you can set autolink)

Can't save photos and videos on SD Card?

Hey guys. I know this post isn't related to root or anything but I really want someone to help me out on something. I recently bought a QMobile A1 (It's an Android One phone and I think it is the Karbonn Sparkle V changed into QMobile A1 in Pakistan, so you can consider it a Karbonn Sparkle V) and it came with Lollipop pre-loaded. So I updated it to Marshmallow and updated all the security patches and other updates. I also added a 16GB Micro SD Card info it and formatted it as Internal Storage. I tried taking some photos and videos but they all saved on my internal memory and it got full really quickly. Nothing goes inside the SD Card except for apps. I'm really worried about this because one of my relatives also bought the same phone and same SD Card but he could save photos and videos automatically on his SD. I asked him if he modified anything but he said he didn't. Please help me out because I only have 8GB of which only 5.75GB is available to me :crying: Thanks
Bro I think it is due to you have selected it as your internal storage. unmount the SD card and reset your device then Add your micro SD card and use a portable storage not internal it might work.
Nevermind, guys! I just migrated all of my internal data to SD and now it saves everything in it! Thank for the contribution though!

[Completed] Possible to move app to SD card?

Device: Micromax Canvas Spark Q380
Android Version: Lollipop 5.0
UI: Stock with Android N-ify
Problem: I partitioned my 32GB SD card and used 'App2SD' app but it says that my external storage is emulated with internal(or maybe vice versa). I only have 8GB internal storage so I'm pretty limited here. Is there any solution for this? Oh, I might flash a custom ROM(which has Move App to SD card or adaptive storage feature) but I'm saving it for last because somebody told me that I cannot delete a ROM once I flash it on a device(Lemme know please if that is wrong and ROMs can be removed once flashed).
Thanks. You guys have been great and very helpful.

if you have root, there are a number of different apps that you can use for that.

like? I've used many like External2Internal but nothing quite worked, although I was somehow successful to make SD card as direct location to store downloads, etc but that really isn't my point. I can always use a cloud for those stuff.

Installing custom Rom on 16GB External SD Card

hello Guys!
I am using a Karbonn Titanium S5 plus and its specs are pretty good for me. The only issue I have is that the internal memory is low and so I was thinking maybe somehow I can install my custom ROM on my 16Gb External SD Card. Well the question is clear I hope... Do I have any option to do this ?? If yes then then any guidance would be a great help.
*** P.S. : I thought of changing the updater-script file, the part where the where the mount points are mentioned. i thought of changing those points to the external sd card but then without proper knowledge I backed off and thought to put the question here.
:fingers-crossed:
