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?

I'm using MIUI-1.12.9 with APPS2SD after preparing a 512MB partition for the apps on my 8GB Class2 MicroSD Card. The remaining section I used to store files for flashing, music, data, etc.
Now all of a sudden, my phone gives me 'You may remove the SD Card' error. It shows the MicroSD Card as unavailable and even when I connect vias USB, the computer cannot detect it. I tried connecting the card separately to the computer using an adapter, but no luck. However, it still reads the EXT3 partition where all the apps are stored as all the apps are still available to me.
Any ideas on what could be wrong and how to resolve this? I want to backup all my apps first but I can't do that with out Android recognizing the card
I don't have a solution for you, but just out of curiosity why in the hell do you use APPS2SD on Defy? After you install the ROM there is around 1GB of free space on the internal memory. This is more than enough to install over 100 apps. Moreover you can move some of the to SD-card from the interface (Manage Applications).
I figured, the more space I free up the more breathing space right? Anywhich way it was working great. No noticeable lag even though I use a Class 2 SD Card. When all of a sudden after over a week, it suddenly gives me a notification "You can safely remove your SD Card now." Huh? Even after reboot, it gives me the same message. I took out the card and plugged it directly in and it doesn't read, but the EXT3 partition still works fine!
I could just get a new card and start from scratch. But I'm intrigued by this error! Gotta get to the bottom of this. Didn't get any response on the General forum, so I figured I'd try my luck here at the risk of annoying a few people. Can anyone help with any suggestions?
I've just rooted my Springboard with ICS 4.0.3 and have been trying to move some apps to the SD card because even though
it's reporting I have 5gb open on internal it won't let me update or install anything if my primary storage is set to internal now.
It has to be set with the SD card as primary.
Anyway I have a couple of OBDII apps, Torque Pro and Dashcommand and it seems now that I changed primary storage to SD
when I open the apps they don't see the profiles I already set up for my car.
It doesn't matter if I change the location of the apps are on the tablet or sd. I tried moving them back and forth using the settings in Android
and tried using Link2SD. Still the same thing.
The only way the profiles come back is if I change Androids primary storage back to internal.
Is there any way I can move these apps complete data storage to the sd card with the app? Or make the apps look for the data back on the internal?
I think it can't find it because with it set as sd for primary the app looks for that data on the SD.
Can someone give an idea what to do other than redo the profiles or reinstalling it?
I have a china Feitneg H7189 Smartphone with a pretty low memory and decided to give this app a try.
The following are some details of my phone:
Internal space: 0.98GB
Phone Storage: 1.70GB
Sd Card: 16GB
So i partitioned my Sd card creating two primary partitions and one of them ext2 so that i could use with External2Internal App. I downloaded the app and configured it correctly, selected the necessary options such as "At boot" and swapped the sdcard with the memory.
Everything ran smoothly and brilliantly until i got two problems!
1) Every photo i take gets duplicated on the SD Card and on the Phone/internal memory which is very annoying to have a duplicate photo of everything.
2) I recently needed to turn off my phone which i rarely do to change the battery as i have 2 battery's and forgot to charge one of them. When i installed the other fully charged battery and turned on my device all the apps i downloaded where missing? ! Its as if the External2Internal App did not work. so i tried to manually go and arrange the settings again and try to make the swap again, but that did not work. I am going to flash my phone again and re-root it again to have a clean phone.
So basically my question is. Is there a way that i can arrange the problem of external2internal that when i turn off the phone my apps disappear, or do you recommend me using any other application which could help me swap my sd with my phones memory?
Thanks !
I have an interesting phenomenon. I want to upgrage an extFAT 256 Gb SD card to an extFAT 1 Tb SD card. The source and the destination cards are not encrypted. I copied all unhidden files from the old one to the new one via a USB reader. I can see everything on my 1 Tb card. When I insert the new card to the phone, some folders like download, music or video are empty. I remove the card from my phone and put it to the same USB reader. These directories contain no files. It looks like you cannot simply copy files. Of course, I can copy them connecting my phone via USB; however, it will take a day to transfer 65 Gb of data. Disk imaging is very slow too. I'm on UI 4.0 Stock, Note 20 Ultra.
Format and load card in the phone.
You need a V30 rated card for best speed.
Thanks! No, it does't work. I've done it the same way: format on the phone / use very fast card. Copy to the phone speed is 700 Kps, via USB reader - 7.5 Mps. I'm afraid it has something to do with the card ID xxxx-xxxx. Volume ID changer doesn't work with new SD cards.
All I do is get a Sandisk extreme, format in phone and it's good to go.
I'm running two N10+'s, one running P the other Q. Using a 512 gb card.
In phone transfer speeds are about .5 [email protected] Average about 1.
Try going from internal memory to card. Should be about [email protected]
Check the PC, use the SmartSwitch driver.
Access SD card drive in the phone using Windows Disk Management, scan for new devices, load/download from that window.
Check Event Viewer for error messages.
Try clearing the system cache.
The story is even worse. I have a 512 Gb os Internal Storage version . I copied my SD card to it, put a new SD card and copy all my files from external to SD. The copy process was fast I was able to see my files on the new SD card. As soon as I deleted a copy from the Interatal Storage, my files were automatically erased from the SD card.

I trust you have redundant copies saved on hdds...
How fast? The card's top speed is around [email protected] Sounds like it was just deleting the files, not writing them to the card.
Try in safe mode.
Run a Check Disk on the PC. Do a low level format and always format in the phone before use. A 3rd party app maybe more helpful for low level formatting.
More ideas.
*always keep the possibility of a virus or rootkit in mind when you observe unexplained behavior with an Android. These are very rare unless you do something stupid... as we all have.
If one disk or more are suspected of being compromised keep them 100% isolated from the backups!!! As they should be anyway.
It's also possible a hidden user setting was altered. Poorly written 3rd apps can do this, unistalling may not fix it or could even trigger it.
Factory reset to clear the user data and reset everything to default. If you did any major firmware upgrades and you didn't factory reset... it's time to.
I don't advocate factory resetting normally at all but for the above issues sometimes it's the best option for a stock Android.
If you can find the app that alter the hidden user setting you may be able to repair it sometimes by reinstalling the app and toggling the setting in it that triggered the issue than unistalling it again, if it's an option. I've done this before, in fact it was on the current load I'm using which will be 2 yo in June. I prefer to find the issue rather than nuke whenever possible... to prevent reoccurrence.
Thank you! I've found the problem. I had to disable zip compressed folders functionality on my PC using a registry fix. Obvously, the phone doesn't support this feature.

Yay! Nothing like success!
Congratulations on your 1.5tb dual drive handheld PC

Lol, you had me worried as I'm thinking of up sizing to a 1tb card on my N10+
Never encrpt, compressed or clone data drives especially media files as bad things tend to happen. Those silly little null marks matter
