Ext-SD card not playing nice with my m8 - Verizon HTC One (M8)

Hi all!!! Ok, so I have a 32 gig micro SD card in my m8 but when I try to download something to it let's say a torrent file or album zip it won't download until I switch the designated folder to internal and when I transfer music to my SD card it won't play in any of my music apps. It tells me it "can't play this type of file" It does store my photos very well. I'm just wondering if anyone has had this problem before? Is my Sd card corrupt? Is my Sd card outdated or something?? lol thank you guys

Tell us some more information on your phone. Rooted? Kernel? SD card format (FAT32 or ExFAT)?

Well thank you for your response. I am rooted and s-off and I'm running this kernel and I just loaded the nv m8 Rom this morning how do I go a out finding out why format my sd card is?

Do you have a link to the kernel thread? It sounds like you are running one that doesn't remove the SD write protection from stock. Without that removed, apps can only access specific folders on the card and they have to be coded within the app to allow it. Think sandboxed mode.
The easiest way I know to check the SD card is connect it to the computer with a card reader. Most likely it will be ExFAT, but 32GB and under can still be FAT32.

No I don't. I'm using the stock kernel used in the Rom. Maybe a different kernel will help? Worth a try.

If you didn't change the kernel, try that. The write protection is a built in feature of KitKat designed to limit how much of your data an app can access.

[Q] SD support

I load my apps in the internal and my media on the external.
Hopefully someone comes up with a way to move apps.
I just received my tablet and would like to know if this is still the case with not being able to move apps to sd. I've tried the apps 2 .sd app with no luck and don't get the option through the stock software.
Thanks

Tried using that app just now it didn't work. I selected the game I wanted from the list and hit move, and it moved it, but then when I went to start the game from my app draw it started downloading the data all over again. There was no other way to start the app even from within GL2SD. Maybe I did something wrong?
Any other ways anyone can think of? or do I have to wait till we get something better created?

[Q] SD card

So I've noticed with every media storage that you buy, you don't actually get the full storage advertised i.e. you buy an 8gb sd card/usb stick and only get 7.49 or a 16 gb and get 14.49 or even buying a 32 gb and getting 30 gb, etc, etc. My question is what does all this storage go to and is there a way to access or get the full data storage?

Actually those space are fill by data like,when we connect it to PCB it must be acted as its a storage system.
When we insert it in mobile,few things run between Mobile and sdcard to get mounted and similarlly other things....all these data is stored in that unalloyed place.as the size increase the unallotment space also increases..

So it's a bit like a "bios" for the sd, but not really a bios. So from what I understand from what you guys have said, it stores the data on how it is supposed to act when it comes into contact with different devices and the drivers, etc?

THe files are installed when you mount the sd card into your phone, so you can read the contents of it, and so you can have read/write privellages, same thing when you plug it into your computer.

[Solved]How to convert Micro SD to FAT32 on Android?

Hello ..
Straight to the point, how can I convert my NTFS micro SD to FAT32 while the SD card is in the phone.. Since I don't have a reader for it..
And my laptop is currently broken so
I'm left with desktop which does not have a reader for micro SD ..
So is there a way to format it to FAT32? Or on Android?

The NTFS format SDcard is not able to mounted , but it's still recognized by android. You should be able to format it by the classic way. In the setting menu ,storage ,and there should be the option to format the sdcard.
I once format my sdcard to NTFS format , and my phone directly gave me the message to format the sdcard after boot.
Solved my problem by using AParted app from Play Store..
Unmount sdcard in settings - storage
Then used the app to make 1 partition with maximum storage allowed and made it FAT32 ..
(Saying this just in case someone ever needed it)

I don't believe that will touch the right position. I'm fairly sure that mounting in your PC and reformatting was the right thing but I'm not sure why it became corrupt immediately, are you sure the format was successful?

Usb storage is entirely different, that's when you connect a storage device using an OTG cable, isn't the fact that it says usb storage obvious? Like I said, the internal storage is the user accessible storage (or sd card) and you have 7.32gb free. There's nothing wrong with your phone.
