My tablet wont use sd card (Please Help!) - General Questions and Answers

Hi everyone
I bought a lg g pad 7.0 a few days ago and have been facing an issue. My last tablet was a rooted nook tablet running 4.2.2 my new tablet is one 4.4.2 and ive heard it has something to do with the multiple user ability they added. anyway i only have 5 gb of internal storage and a empty 32gb sd card, for some reason there is an emulated sd card called storage/sdcard0
and my actual sd card is storage/ext-sd. i need to find out if there is a way to change default app install location or if i can delete the emulated partition and use it like jellybean.
btw i rooted using purple drake and it works just fine(except for the sd card)
Id appreciate any advice or help as this is very frustrating

any help please (flytouch 3)

Hi guys just bought my first android tablet from ebay its a 10.2" TABLET PC,SUPERPAD 3 ,FLYTOUCH 3,ANDROID 2.3, 8GB. I have been having a few problems getting the sd card to load. I have tried 4 different sd cards and none of them work. When i insert the sd card it pops up reading sd card then nothing i go into the settings then to sdcard & device storage and all that shows up is internal device storage no sd card. I have tried to use apps2sd but that doesnt work either. I contacted the seller and he told this was normal and i would have to use a file manager to locate the sd card on the tab.
I am at a loss here as i have rooted my hero and my galaxy s2 and never had a problem using my sd cards or app2sd or anything like that. I am just wondering if this means the tablet could be a clone or a fake.
I would be grateful if someone could please give me some help or information on this
Thanks
Well, the first thing I would do is attempt to follow the seller's suggestion. Can you reach the SD card via a file manager? If so, perhaps it's worth reloading your OS (though I'm not sure how to do it on your tablet).
To address whether or not it is a knockoff, the general rule is:
If the price is too good to be true, it probably is.
Here is the firmware for the tablet
Model number : Android Tab10
Android Version: V2.3 2011-12-19 (001112)
Kernel Version: 2.6.329 [email protected] #289
Build Number: FRF85B
I had same problem FlyTouch2 but i tried low speed SD card. 4GB and 2GB and after 3-4 reformat those cards worked. I format those cards in device.
Class 6 card never worked.

[Q] Samsung Tab 2 Apps to External SD Card

Hi all,
I've just purchased a Samsung Tab 2 7.0 P3113 due to the fact that it has an external SD Card slot. I have found that I can not move any applications to the external card. This was one of the primary reasons I purchased the device. I have been using android devices for a while and my first Sony X10, was rooted and running custom roms within the first few weeks after I purchased it. In any case, I have read a number of threads, regarding this subject for the Tab 2 but I have not been able to have an installed app be moved to the external SD Card. Most post will say you have to root the device, (which I have) and use apps such as App2SD. I have even gone as far as loading a custom ROM, but no success. My last resort is to actually partition and repackage a ROM for an external 64GB SD Card and attempt to boot off of it so I will have more space. If anyone has truly been able to move an installed app to the external SD Card could you please point me in the right direction.
I would like some help on this too. But the silence is haunting.
Found this under a compilation thread that covers the 3113's and is down further on the same page in this forum.

I hope this helps and sorry for the re-re-re editing
AFAIK (and correct me if Im wrong veterans), is a defect of the OS not hardware. ICS and JB of the GT2's do not allow it as the internal memory is already labeled as sdcard. or that seems to be the prevailing opinion so far. I would like a work around but short of flashing a custom rom and/or kernel it seems unlikely to happen. Downside to that is some things don't work all the way in some roms. Ahh for the old days of my stock+ on my incredible. wait. Im still using it from back last summer and it works fine. TY wildstang!!

Hail Link2SD !!
Only way to move Apps to ExternalSD is using Link2SD for ICS / JB. I have done lot of research and there is no other way.However Link2SD does not move the data files and hence your internal memory will still be filled up as and when you install more apps but at slower rate.
If you want to install games like NFS-MW , Asphalt etc you have to use DirectoryBind tool to move the huge data files (More than 1.5 GB) to external card.
There is a nice tutorial how to use Link2SD here on the forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919326).
You can use ext4 partition as i found ext2 and ext3 were not being recognized by Link2SD. Just a pointer.
PS: ICS and above no longer support moving apps to SD card. If i am wrong experts correct me.
root is your best bet. check this link, use the script and follow the directions. this script worked wonders. my tab thinks i have 32 gb internal and 4gb sd.

[Q] XT1039 4.4.4 External SD Card blank when battery runs out

Moto G 4G XT1039 upgraded to Android 4.4.4 - UK unlocked phone
System version - 21.1.46peregrine_retgb_retgball.en.GB retgb
Build number - KXB21.14-L1.46
MicroSD Card - SanDisk Ultra 64 GB XC I Class 10
I formatted the card on my Windows 7 pc with FAT32. It is recognised by the phone and I can use it normally. But every time phone battery dies, I get the message that the SD card is blank. It gives me an option to format the card. I get the message - Erasing the card. The card is then usable. Its file system is listed as Generic hierarchical. It has Used Space 76.0 KB and Free Space 59.3 GB. It also has 2 directories - Android and LOST.DIR.
This has happened about 3 times now and results in losing all files on SD Card. Has anyone else experienced this and any opinions as to what can be causing this?
Wait for the new update .56. I think will be available soon for the UK. It fixes sd card bugs.
Thanks, demolition23. It would still be interesting to know if this is just an odd issue with my phone and sdcard OR has anyone else has experienced this particular problem. Could it be because 64 GB sd card is not officially supported?

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!
