I just received a replacement Xoom from Moto and its on 3.2. I put a 8GB Sandisk and want to delete files on the SD but I can't. It's mounted as Read Only. What can I do?
root! Can't do it, yet, with stock 3.2.
Stick the card in your laptop and delete the files.
if you're prepared to root there is a solution here in the Xoom Android Devel thread:

Root it, use this program to remount as read/write and then use whatever file manager you prefer.

I figured I'd have to root it but I was wondering if there was a solution on stock. I'm going to root it hopefully today if I have time.
That sucks. I'm going to just stick in my Evo for now and delete files. It's kind of a pain and dumb that they didn't include it in stock.
Mine is root 3.2 3g. I coonect my xoom to windows 7 pro and able to detect my sd card but unable to put any file there. Any help much appreaciated.

This was told to developers at Google IO in 2011. There's a different API for R/W now to the external file system and developers just aren't using it yet.
The proper fix is for developers to change their apps to support the new API.
Hi guys
I just bought a new microsd-card for my shield tablet of 128GB.
I saw on the nvidia shield faq that +64GB microsd-card have to be formatted as NTFS.
It gets mounted ok.
But it seems i cant copy any files with my OI FILE MANAGER and ANDROZIP.
Although i can move apps to the SD-card.
Is this a permissions issue?
edit:: it seems that ES File Explorer works
Thanks
how do i access my android internal memory using computer
Well there's not too much you can do with your pc compared to using a root file manager app.
However there are still some things you can access. check out this thread for some insight http://www.xda-developers.com/android/beginners-guide-to-the-android-debug-bridge/
Good luck
Hi
How do you delete sdcard or delete the restores on the one plus one
I got to the point where the sdcard is less than 10%
Any help or advice would be appreciated

You can format the SD card in twrp its called internal storage.
Or you could use something like es file explorer and manually clear all the files you no longer want.

Hello all. Not sure if this question has ever been posed but I have a problem that deserves the attention of the pros here at XDA. I recently purchased a tablet with Android 5.1.1 lollipop with 16gig internal storage and 1gig of ram. After loading the device up with apps I started noticing that I was rapidly running out of room. I installed a 32gig sdcard formatted as fat32. After rooting the device and installing Link2sd I came to find out that this would only work with an ext partition. So I reformatted the card with two partitions, the first being in fat32 and the second in ext4. So far the device seems to be running pretty smoothly and was able to link all app files to the sdcard via link2sd. The problem here is when I check the storage in the system settings it shows all of the available space in the fat partition as expected. When I check the storage in link2sd, es file explorer, or any of the other file manager apps, it shows that there is only 502meg available on the sdcard. I was wondering if anyone here would be familiar with a problem like this and could advise me as to what I could do to fix this. Thanks
