So i got sd card in my phone but then i go to my storage it shows internal memory i mean like the android counts internal memory as SD card How can i fix this?
You should Look in Settings > Storage. your phone will move Large Applications such as Angry birds into your SD Card.
Here's what you need to note. Android Refers to your Internal Storage as /sdcard and your actual SD Card as External SD Card or /ext-sd
Please review XDA University Introduction to Android.

Should a App2sd app be able to work on our Notes???
The reason im asking is because I had issues getting my 64g card to mount (ended up having to flash a recent OTA update from Samfirmware.com). I then wanted to move some of my apps to the 64g card but App 2 SD from the market says -
"The device does not have a real primary external storage, or the primary extremal storage is emulated. Moving app to SD may not be supported by this device. "
Is this normal? I have never come across this before on any Android device before! Or is it something to do with the 64g card? or the Notes file tree?

Yes it's normal. Samsung make some different approach here.
In my perspective when you used to choose "move to sdcard" in apps manager, the apps move from internal memory to internal storage (/sdcard).
(External microSD card is not on discussion so far, im only talking about tablet internal storage).
Now by default in Samsung devices all apps are going to /sdcard, so you dont have to move them beacuse the are alreday there.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
The solution for me (I have white SGN 10.1 16GB) is use DirectoryBind, i can have 20+ GB of games in external microSD Card.

Think your correct, makes sense anyway!!!
Could you elaborate more on this directory Bind thing you mentioned? ??

DirectoryBind main feature is to link/bind folders with data that are in external micro sd card, to empty folders with the same name that must be in /sdcard/Android/data or /sdcard/Android/obb. So games and apps thinks they're using internal storage but in fact data is in external micro sd card. This way you save the 11 gb reserved for storage.

Hello,
I upgrade my tablet with marshmallow. I format my SD card with option internal storage. When I go to the settings storage I see the internal storage and my SD card.
I don't understand with this option the internal storage and my SD card must be merged?
Thks for your help
Excuse me my English is bad
It is merged, but shows 2 storages. Basically, apps will be installed on both, with majority of space being used is on the SD card.
Unfortunately, some apps will install on internal storage, so you must move them to the SD card manually.
In this upgrade your internal store will keep app and sdcard will take data. This is old functions but it's fully support now. The best to using sdcard class 10 or I class

You could look for some of that apps usually called Apps2SD in order to be able to move some apps from the phone memory to the sd memory, especially developed for tht purpose, but if you expect to be able to install apps on the external sd card, well that won't happen cause of the android design , if forbids you to do that .
Thank you!
Hello XDA.
This is my first time to come here and register, i heared that XDA is the best android developers website so i came here to request your help.
Lately i bought Lenovo Vibe S1 that comes with 2 Nano-Sim slots but if i'm going to insert a SD Card then there are 1 Nano-Sim slot.
I have a 4GB SD Card. I inserted it to the phone. The problem here that when i copy/move files to the SD Card it doesn't show in the apps. Like, moving Photos from internal storage to SD Card it doesn't appear in gallery. Same as songs, when i move them from internal storage to SD Card they doesn't show up in 3rd music player apps. Unless i unmount the SD Card from the settings and remount it. But it is a pain to unmount and remount when i move anything to the SD Card.
So, any help to fix this?
PS: I don't want to root, flash or install ROMs to my device.
Thank you for taking your time by reading my thread.
