HI!
I have a rooted android phone (D2203). One of the reasons I rooted was to try to solve this problem when deleting pictures:
"Photos doesn't have access to delete item on your SD card. Go to the Gallery app to continue deleting."
I did use NextApp's "SDFix," which I thought would solve the problem, but it did not.
I realize this may be a problem on google's end, but is there any way to get the app to "realize" that it has permission to write on the SD Card?
I am not using a custom rom.
Thanks!

I'm rooted and running stock Rom. I tried to reinstall crazy snow board (as an example) and get the message install failed can not find SD card. Any one have this problem? I'm at work and don't have access to the search feature. I was able to install another app. (imb movie) I have clearest cache and fixed permissions in Rom mgr since I update cwm. Have also pulled the battery.

Is your phone mounted as a disk drive?

Yes it's not mounted as a disk drive, I'm home now and had time to search. Found this from user Modred on another site. " I had the same problem, here's what I found out: there's a work-around and there's a fix.
1) The work-around: Unmount your SD card, install the app, mount your SD card, move the app to the SD card. And yeah, that will get annoying pretty quickly.
2) The fix:
Now, this worked for me and I read it on the android market support forum, but there's no guarantee.
- connect your phone to your PC as a mass storage device (you cannot access the file we're looking for via a file manager within the phone, the OS keeps it hidden)
- backup important data
- find the folder named ".android_secure"
- there, delete the file called "smdl2tmp1.asec"
- disconnect your phone
If all went well, you should now be able to install apps again. Nothing bad happened to my phone by deleting this temp file, but please backup before you do this, just in case.
Hope this helped. "
I tried both and they worked.
I wanted to confirm...
...this does fix the problem and causes no damage to the phone. I tried it and it worked like a charm.
Thanks for the tip!
Hi,
I have a Huawei G6 from China. I unlocked the bootloader, rooted it with vroot and installed SuperSU.
I can install GoogePlayStore and all kind of different apps from it. And they work mostly fine. But for some reason some apps show issues:
- I can't take a picture. It says "Storage full, install SD card". Although phone memory is still around 1 GB left.
- I can't open files from Dropbox. "Not enough memory, or storage full"
- ES File Explorer doesn't show local SD card
- Some apps, like Waze just won't run "Waze can't access your SD card. Make sure it isn't mounted". That one totally confuses me.
What's missing? How can I fix this?
If wrong sub-forum pls move this post accordingly.
Thanks

I had the same problem.
Just unroot with SuperSU and your problem is solved.

Excellent! That worked.
Do you then use anything else as substitute? Is it actually required?

Ok I resolved as described in this thread, in this way obviously the phone became unrooted. I really don't know how the problems described can be caused by rooting it, how is it possible ?
Does the problem described depends on which method used to root the phone ? I used the towel application (last version) , is there any root method for G6 that doesn't lead to this issue ?
Hello guys
I am using HTC desire 816 dual sim for couple of months and faced the problem of internal storage as it has only 8GB. Than I rooted it and installed 'Foldermount' but faced kitkat sdcard issues. I fixed with some apps though it doesnt fix permanently. But still I cant move any data or obb folder to sdcard. actually i can move it with es file explrer or using pc but the app doesnt recognize it.
So friends please give me a quick suggestions or solutions otherwise I have to sell the phone.
Hoping for the best solution.

Sorry bro but I didn't get, what do you want to do now?
IF you phone have some problem then firest do a factory reset, if it don't solve the problem then flash stock rom.
And there are many apps to do stuff like folder mount.
but please explain your problem,...
Transfer obb to Ext_SD

My main problem is I cant move my game data/obb files to my external SD card. I tried a bunch of apps like GL to SD, apps2sd, directory bind etc other than foldermount but failed every time.
Ok now the option is to do factory reset or flash stock rom......though i used iPhone for 4 years and jailbreak and other things was a very easy things for me but I am very much new in ANDROID.
So i need some idea about how to do flash stock rom and factory reset and how these can help moving apps data to external sd card.
May be I have explained my problem.
Thanks
okay Bro,
I have a thread regrading folder mount.
read it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/how-to-foldermount-t2828552

good luck
Hi
I wanted to ask something about Rooting but couldn't find specific section for it or if there is, i am sorry i couldn't locate it. I apologize for it.
I have a Huawei Ascend G610-U20 with Android 4.2.1. The internal memory is 4GB but only 1.86GB is useable (on format). I am using Stock ROM.
I have some applications which are installed in phone memory (sdcard 0, not external sdcard). For example Facebook and by default it doesn't have the option of shifting to SD card, that option is turned off. Similarly this is off for Mix Cloud app. There are so many other apps as well. I use Dodol launcher and all it's themes are on phone memory and cannot be migrated to external SD card.
I found this thread of making SD card as default location for installation. I didn't do it being afraid to make any disastrous changes to my phone.
Then i got to know about rooting and i was again afraid of bricking my phone. This is why i am asking it here. I had previously another Android phone and i rooted it and then it started some problems mainly software clashes. e.g. when viber is being used and a phone call comes, phone restarted. I thought of at least considered that time that this is due to rooting.
My sole purpose of doing any of above method is, to be able to migrate those apps to external SD card which are by default not able to be migrated in stock ROM. Else than this i am not much advanced user and nor do i want to go further deeper.
What you recommend and what is the best way to do.
Just a point to mention, in case of using that 1st method of Android ADB method, i think it would need me to format the phone and then reinstall the apps. Am i right?
Please guide me.
Thanks in advance.
Hi, I'm using Samsung Galaxy Trend GT-S7560.
So the problem is if I do anything with my external SD Card (move, rename, delete, make files.. etc), it will save any changes at first, but it will return to a specific state either after a while, or if I reformat/remount the card or restart the phone.
This happen all of a sudden.
Ex: I deleted a pic and after a while it will be there again even it was already gone before, create a file it will gone, move a file from phone storage to the external SD Card it will gone too.
It's not like I can't edit at all. But it will return to the state before I edit it.
The problem made my apps like Link2SD can't run properly.
I tried to edit the files using my PC or an app but it will return to the specific state in the end.
Please help, thanks!
(yes, my device is rooted)
(+ sorry if bad english)

Hello, thank you for using XDA assist!
First, please create an account so you can post in other forums.
Sounds like your card doesn't have write permissions.
