External SD card not showing - HTC One A9

I can't access my external SD card through root explorer. Any ideas?

This is what I'm coming up with.

Here's another shot.

The 5088 folder is probably your SD card. Mine was mounted as F956-4EE0 rather than ext_sd or sdcard(x)

Yup, that was it. Thanks.

Just for your reference, Android 6.0 now allow you to use SD card as internal storage, and if your card is fast enough, doing so will benefit you greatly.
Caution: Require formatting your card.
Don't forget to reboot after your doing so, an known bug will prevent apps behave properly after migration.

Have you integrated your SD Card with internal memory. If so, how do you find performance. I've been holding off waiting to hear from others if it's worth doing this.

I'm using a 64G Samsung Pro SDXC, which can do sequence R/W at the speed of 70MB/s from my testing, but the system still warned me about "slow sd card, will degrade performance".
From my daily using I don't notice a big difference from Galaxy S6, whose internal storage claimed to be very fast thanks to Samsung's new tech.
But it could be I'm not sensitive enough to notice the difference.
One interesting thing I would like to mention is when using a tf reader along with this card on my nexus player, I don't get similar warning. The nexus player did warn me if I use a very outdated 2G usb drive, so how "fast" a Android 6.0 define an external storage may even vary depending on the device itself.

Damaged file system

I was moving some stuff around on the internal SD card and must have deleted a folder or moved something because I can't download anything without and external card in the phone. I can't even use the camera without an SD card because there is no where for the pics to be saved. Can someone with knowledge of the stock Android file system tell me what I may have messed up?
The internal storage of the phone should all be located under "mnt" right?

First... Terminology...
You were moving stuff around on your SD card, right? The one that can be physically swapped out? Not the "internal" memory, I assume.
With root explorer or something?
The SD card that is removeable from the phone, like the what you made your goldcard out of, is under /mnt/sdcard.
The internal memory, where the OS is stored and whatnot, is different.
On my Atrix it was referred to as an internal SD card which would be the internal memory of the phone, im new to android so I assumed this is how it works. I am not referring to my external SD card, I can format that if need be. The internal file systems of my phone is messed up and I seem to be unable to save anything to it.
and yes I was using root explorer.

The inspire only has one storage system and that is The external SD. That is the only place things are stored. There is no internel memory like the atrix or captivate.

Wow thank you. I wasnt aware of this. So I wont be able to download pictures from the internet or use my camera unless I have an SD card in at all times?
That's completely correct.
Just invest in a decent microSD card, you'll be carrying it to your next phone anyhow.

What he ^^^^ said. You can get a decent 16 gb class 10 card for about 40 bucks or so. Should look into it. Internel memory is not the best place for your pics. If something happens and you brick then you lose everything. With external it is pretty save

Oh come on dude, Moderators shouldn't make sarcastic comments like that.
The Inspire has it's own internal storage (Elixer calculates it to 1.1GB), as well as external storage on the SD card.
If the Inspire had no internal storage, and only put stuff on the SD card, then WTF would be the point of the "move to SD" function, and the fact that it actually does work?!?!
The "internal" storage uses /data, /cache, and /system, while the "external" SD card uses /mnt/sdcard

First off it wasn't sarcastic. Second the OP was asking about storing pictures and those are only stored on the external SD. The move to SD is for apps that are stored in data/app, when moved to SD. it changes the directory to sdcard/data/app

Sorry for assuming your posting was sarcastic, I see so much of that here.
I wonder if any devs out there are working on a way to force the camera software to be able to use the internal memory instead of just the SD Card, or at least use it as a buffer while writing to the SD. That would sure cut down on the annoying shutter lag, I bet.
did you look at slickdeals or even costco for different prices? Slickdeals usually have a lot of deals on USB flash drives and SD cards. Hope that helps

I understand where your coming from as it is an all too regular sight recently. I am normally very laid back and easy going. As for the shutter lag, I only have my captivate to test in but, I have never seen a diff if it is stored on the internal or external SD. But I also don't use the stock camera.

64gb micro sd card ;) = success

Samsung 64GB Class 10 UHS-1 Grade 1 70MB/s MicroSDXC Pro Memory Card
this is the one I am using just thought that I would share this for anyone else wanting to know.
Hi mate, could you confirm that sd card is working? Today I contact samsung support and they told me that only works up to 32gb.
If it support 64gb would be great! I also have doubts if only the standard sd line, or if plus and pro also works with it.
But could you use all 64 GB?
I am also considering a 64 GB microSD, but it would be useless if I could only be using 32 GB. Maybe try to drop some large files on your card to test?
FYI
I've been using sandisk 64gb class 10 without any issue
59.46GB of usable space.

Is there any pre-requirement (maybe special formatting) for using a 64gb sdxc card with the realy? I'm using the original stock firmware, and samsung support told me only 32gb are allowed.

that's correct.
I'm using a Sandisk Ultra UHS-1 64GB card in my Relay 4G without any problems. Just yesterday had it down to about 8 GB space available, confirming it works past the 32GB barrier. I did have to do an update for Windows XP on my dad's laptop before I transferred files to my external HDD a few days ago, but otherwise had no problems there. (It wasn't till yesterday I deleted some files on the phone that had been copied to the drive - I wanted to keep some vids on the phone for a while and was handpicking them.)
Now if only I could interface directly with my 2TB hard drive (I have it in an enclosure with its own power source), without needing the laptop.

It should be possible, as our phone support USB.
I tried to find some videos on yt if that works, but only this:

But is not that subject of course, maybe we can move it or make new threat.
Seems interesting anyway.
So the trick is to format the SDCARD in FAT32 instead of NTFS. And the drawback is you can't have a file (music, movie, whatever) that's over 4GB. Okay. Can't think of what one file would be that much, so that seems like a decent compromise.
So I guess my only question is: if you're taking a file, as in drag in drop, from your NTFS hard drive on you computer and placing it on your FAT32 SDCard on your phone, will there be any problems? As well as any problems doing it in reverse?

There should be no problems in either direction, especially if you're doing it over MTP/PTP to your phone.
Another option is to format the card as ext4, which Linux and Android support natively, it's stable, and supports files up to arbitrary size (There is a limit, but it's quite a bit more than the supported maximum card size of the Relay)

I didn't think of this till you responded, but my USB 4GB flash drive is FAT32 and I transfer files from the 60GB hard drive on my laptop, which is NTFS, all the time. I typically do drag and drop, or I transfer via bluetooth.

I've never heard of ext4, but I'll research it. In any case, from the looks of it, the Relay 4G can use 64GB micro sd cards! :good: :highfive:

I just want to say, I have been using the Blaze for 6 months, but, everyone else has 4 GB in their Blaze. I only have about 2.5 GB of internal storage. Was there a change in the production or something? View Screenshots.
My phone has the exact same internal storage as you and total space. The 4gb you're referring to could be the external SD card. I'm using a 8gb card at the moment...

Well, that makes sense. The phone did come with the external SD card. I never really thought about it cause the external SD card that came with my phone was corrupted. I have a 2GB external right now. By the way, I use PacRom too.
PAC ROM is top-notch, make sure and thank Ink for the goodness!
It came corrupted? That is a pisscutter, did you get a replacement? I've read this phone can handle add much as 32gb, have yet to go up though...

I just got this phone and I'm wondering about the same thing. There are two "internal storage" bars and they show total space of 1.12 and 1.4G respectively. The SD card remains mostly unused. It seems that the internal storage is partitioned in two? It appears all the appdata is also stored on the 2nd "internal storage". How do i consolidate the two into one, and use the SD card for all the data storage?
Many thanks.
That would be awesome if we could combine the two partitions into one and use a SD as the second. Unfortunately Samsung crippled our phones with their wacky partitions.

So I take that the partition is permenant?
This really severaly limits the usability of the phone to that of a novice/beginner, with only <2gb for apps and another <2gb for data. Is there any script/app/etc that mounts the 2nd partition to the external SD? I've searched and Link2SD shows up a few times, something I've used on P509 (optimus T) and didn't think I would have to use it again. It works, but it's annoying when it fails. Was hoping for something cleaner than that.
I bought the phone imagining that the 4GB could be used for app and the data would go on SD..
Yea you can swap mounts to use the SD card as the second partition. It's around here somewhere, do a search for swapping internal / external mount points

it seems all of these solution (including link2sd) isn't permenant and would screw up (and it did) after rom update. Link2sd is kinda pointless when it doesn't move the data to the external sd, and mounting scripts would just run into problems when ROM's updated.
There doesn't seem to be a very clean solution for this.. Would have been nicer if they just relied on extSD for storage.. why bother with the SD slot when you store things internally by default?
kinda frustrating really.
Well there's 4gb unformatted, which means 10% less afterwards, so 3.6gb but the system needs space, so there's another chunk gone and then system apps and whatnots are using space, as does cache etc. So we get about 2.5gb usable to us, then we install gapps and the other basics and have about 2gb left.
with a camera app that now allows storage to external, it gets a lot easier. Move big apps to external SD as with music and downloads. I did have some success with the script that swaps internal/external, but now I just get by with the occasional cleanout.

nothing is crippled, nothing is stolen, missing, or deceptive. buy a 32Gb microsd card and enjoy it.
if you applications don't use sdcard or have the option to, page the developer to change it.
all my apps, backups, videos, pictures, gpx's, waypoints, offline maps, - everything - is on my sdcard. it works fine.

Oculus apps to sdcard

Is there a way to move oculus apps to sdcard? I've just started using this thing and only 14.81 Gb is left . Reminds me Htc desire times, when we had ~140 mb of internal storage.. Well apps on those days were 100 kb - 2 mb in size Now oculus eats gazillions bytes of precious internal storage.
I skimmed few articles about adoptive storage, but as far as I understand Samsung throwed this away
I thought you could move most apps to SD card, have you tried?
If it cannot move the Oculus apps to SD, then VR is going to flop. As 32 GB (24GB actually) is really insufficient to hold regular + VR apps.

I went to one of my games for example and changed the storage location and it moved everything. I had to go to the application manager to do it. when you open the application in there just select the storage type which mentions internal and select internal and click move. worked like a charm

Didn't work for me - many Oculus games and apps don't give you the option to move them to the external storage (yes, even with adoptable storage configured).

Well crap! Haven't bought my card yet. Waiting for a good deal on a 200GB, I only have a 32GB now. Maybe by then they'll fix this. I have about 6 or so VR apps/games and it's killing my space! How did they miss this? Seems like such a blunder to give these headsets out on a phone with limited memory and not give people the ability to add more!
Can confirm. With latest Samsung update can move regular apps to sdcard but not a single oculus app or game can move to adoptable storage.

The phone should have come with 64GB option really. The SD card, even the Samsung Evo Pro+ is slow. Actually, the internal memory controler for the SD card is half the speed of what the Pro+ supports on a PC. Sad really, and it's such a sweet phone. What a shame!

Probably on purpose because running huge VR games off a (possibly) slow SD card would cause performance issues.

To use the adaptable storage method you need at least a U3 card. I was about to buy one when I came across this app on google play:
Link2SD allows you to move Gear VR apps to external storage. I have moved 3 successfully and have not encounter a problem. There is a plus version which allows you to link after moving but I'm loving the free version so far!

Here's how to configure adoptable storage on your S7 / S7 Edge

not working for me, at&t variant. my id shows 179,0, not 179:XXX.
That might be a blessing. My first question was going to be how much of a performance hit did you take? It would be nice to have the option though.
Curious what the performance hit is too.
the reason why it failed was cuz card is "too slow". using that sandisk 200gb card. i have a samsung 64gb pro + card in my g4, and apparently this also works for that too. tried it and success.
At least there is apparently still a safeguard to prevent most of the people crippling their phone with cheap SD cards. I hope that when Samsung adds this officially, it will limit it to at least UHS 1 U3 cards.
The whole phone memory will be only as fast as the SD inside

It won't get that fast reads since it is limited to UHS-I so up to 90/MB reads/writes. Internal memory is in the 200 MB/s range so yes, it will be a huge downgrade if you use the adoptable storage.
I would like an answer for this: if I`m opening a file from sdcard (Samsung 32GB class10) and editi it, when I try to save it again, I can only do it on phone storage. Why? My sdcard it`s listed in storage like SD Card(7CD-1711)
Can someone explain, please, and tell me what to do so I will be able to save my files to sd card?
The Modaco method doesn`t work for my SM-G935F S7 Edge
Thanks in advance
I have been using this function with my 128gb Sandisk from day one.
I have moved most large apps to the SD card. In addition, I already have a part of my music collection on there as well. Have not noticed any slowdown whatsoever!

In the source link the syntax is different. You need to do it the same as YOUR card displays. I've done it with a 200gb card.

Uea ibcan confirm i did 179,0 on my exynos s7 with a 64gb pro + and it worked fine.

the reason why it failed was cuz card is "too slow". using that sandisk 200gb card. i have a samsung 64gb pro + card in my g4, and apparently this also works for that too. tried it and success.

That's a screenshot of my G4.
And when I did that it showed 179,64. As it was a 64 gb card. I didn't have any real world slowness, but if u run A1 bench tool and see the read/write differences, they definitely exist.
Today I purchased a 64 GB Samsung Pro+ (Plus) micro sd card. It says it has up to: 95 MB/s read & 90 MB/s write. I benched it at 50/40 today. I manually set the adoptable storage following the procedure outlined in the MoDaco post. I used the info returned by the command that tells you what is available to use as adoptable. It worked, but is also returning a wrong storage total (I believe that the reason for this is because the SD card basically gets filled with a file that can be encrypted, so the total amount of storage that your SD card has gets added to the storage total both as it's actual space and as the file size, this is a guess but seams somewhat plausible). I am getting 73.64 GB used out of 128 GB. I have 32 internal and 64 on the sd but only 59.14. So max is 96 but it says 128 total and a lot used.
I just done this looks like it worked with a sandisk 200gb memory card but if i install a app now where will it install?. And also whats the option under storage more and migrate data for? do we need to do that?

It won't get that fast reads since it is limited to UHS-I so up to 90/MB reads/writes. Internal memory is in the 200 MB/s range so yes, it will be a huge downgrade if you use the adoptable storage.

90MB/s is nice when talking about sequential reads, but most microsd cards are going to be around 10x slower than UFS in small random reads/writes, which is where most of your phones performance is going to come from in terms of storage IO.
I think doing this stops downloading certain apps can someone try amazon sholppig or netflix says its not compatable with your device since i done this adoptable storage.

Mine still works to download and use amazon shopping. I also have Netflix installed and this also still works.
