I currently have an issue with the camera. It states that I've run out of space on my sdcard and that I should delete some files. Though this may be true of internal memory, I have a 32GB external sdcard with only 9GB used. I can't find anyplace in the camera's settings to use my external sdcard. When I do look at the files using efs manager it seems it melds the internal sdcard and external sdcard. Not sure if this has something to do with it.
Can anyone please help me with this issue? I would like to be able to take pictures and have 20GB of space left.
well if you tried changing it in settings and its not there i recommend you use a camera app which can be downloaded thru Gplay..
HIt thanks if i helped.... :good:
Downloaded and installed CameraMX and got the same error and found no settings to us the sdcard instead of the internal storage. Uuuuugh! I'll try other camera apps but I think it's going to be the same issue.
I'm using Linaro's CM10 on a Samsung T679 Exhibit II 4G with a 32GB sdcard.
I'm hoping someone else has encountered this problem and found a workaround...
I've downloaded Flixster, logged in and accessed my collection of films/tv series. When I got to download them it gives an option of download to phone or download to SD card. I selected SD card but it then says that this is not supported on my device. According to Flixster's website, all Android devices on 4.3 and above should have this facility working. Is there anything I can do to get them on my SD card?
Unless you have it installed as a system app it will not be able to write to SD card.
This is a KK feature where only system apps can write to sd card
Choose internal memory then copy it over using a system explorer, or do it via a card reader in your PC or root and apply the write to SD card fix

Download it to the phone, then transfer it to your PC via the USB cable, then to the SDcard using the USB cable

By transfer "it" do you mean the app and then transfer the app to my SD card via USB? Or do you mean the movie and then transfer that to my SD card via USB?
You have the app installed, it needs to be on the phone.
Download the movie to internal memory and then move that about.

You'll have to excuse me for being a noob, can't quite figure out how this works. I plugged my phone into my laptop, went into internal storage and cut the files from the phone and then put then pasted them onto the SD card. However, now when I go into Flixster it doesn't recognise them as being on the device and although they are listed in the Movies app, it can't play the files.
Can anyone help on this? My 16Gb internal storage is running really low, could really do with getting the Flixster files on my SD card if possible

Though I am not familiar with this Flixter thing, but ones you have downloaded and saved your movie in your SDCARD, why are you sticking to Flixter to play it? You can use your device's movie player or any other 3rd party software that supports the format to play the movie.

They are digital codes for DVDs/Blu Rays I have purchased and have to be redeemed via Flixster. Once redeemed you have the option of streaming it via wi-fi or downloading it to the device. If you download to the device it stays within the Flixster app (they ar enot playable by other media players even though they are mp4 files - guessing they must have some sort of Flixster encoding or DRM). There is an option on Flixster to download them to SD card but it won't let me do it on the Xperia as it doesn't have permission to write to the SD card.
When I connected my phone to my laptop, I found the files within the internal storage and manually pasted them into the SD card but after doing so, Flixster no longer recognised them as being on the device and other players were still unable to play the files.

I am sure you have already checked the settings in Flixster application, to see if it gives option to read & play contents from SDCARD?
There is some application to convert users apps to system apps. Not sure if even after converting this can be moved to SD or not.

Yeah unfortunately not, just an option where to download to and when you select SD card and then download, the Xperia won't let me.
Would I have to be rooted in order to convert to system apps?
I'm on a Xperia Z3 Tablet and hit the same problem. I've found a way around this which works. The thing you have to bear in mind using this is you cannot download to the SD card directly.
Close Flixster
Using File Commander (or similar) on the device, copy Android>data>net.flixster.android to the same location on the SD card.
Note: Using Windows or similar doesn't give you the same rights to create/modify some of the folders
Start Flixster and change the storage location to the SD card.
Restart Flixtser. You will now see the location under the devices saying On SD Card.
I remove the ones from the internal storage once satisfied.
When downloading a new addition, change the location back to Internal Storage, let it download and then move that across and obviously change the storage location afterwards.
It works for me well on a 32gb card and saves precious internal storage space.

Hi,
I have an Android device. I bought it from our local cellphone shop, a Cherry Mobile phone. name of the unit is Jelly. Its Android Version used was 4.2.2. I have 165mb of internal storage(17.88mb available) and 14.87GB(13.28GB available) of SD card. I've rooted it using FramaRoot. I'm getting this error when I download or install an application using Playstore and APK installer.
"Error downloading. Insufficient storage available".
I tried clearing the cache. I've put it's Preffered install location to "SD card". Default Write Disk to "SD card" . But nothing worked! I really need help!
I cant download anything! I tried to download Link2SD(a 3mb file) to fix but nothing! I've tried installing Lucky Patcher apk. but it said "Insufficient ....................." .. How do I fix this?
I also noticed this when I was running out of storage, even though there was enough space for apps.
Try deleting some more data in your internal storage, not the SD card, and it should work again.
Basically, if u download an apps from the Play Store, the apps will be stored first in the internal storage. After that it will automatically moved to SD Card if u have root and set ur device.
Does the app which u want to download larger than the available internal storage?
If that so, u should free some memory in ur device.
Otherwise, u could try to enlarge the internal storage of ur device, try to find it in other part of this forum corresponding to your device.
17MB internal is the problem. It can't download an app directly to the SD, it has to pass through the internal memory first.
Clear some space on the internal memory.
Also, try dialing *#9900# and clicking on 'delete dumpstate/logcat'. Might give you a few more MB's.

Hi, I have a lenovo Tab 2 a7-10F (running on Android Kitkat 4.4.2). After installing some apps on the device I have now encountered a storage problem. Everytime I try to download anything from Google Play it just gives me an "insufficient storage available" error. I have about 490MB of free storage on my tab right now but I still cannot install any app in it. When I download apps from other markets like Aptoide, they install perfectly but Google Play refuses to install or even update any app - no matter how small- unless I free up more than 500MB of space. I cannot move apps to my 16GB external SD card as the device has an 'emulated' storage and does not read obb files stored on my external SD. The following are the steps I've tried so far-
1. Cleared cache, data and updates of Google Play, Google Service Framework, Google Play Service, Download manager
2. Removing and re-adding my account
3. Using different Google IDs to download
4. Using apps like Obb2SD, Obb on SD, link2SD etc to try move the heavy obb files from emulated storage to the actual external SD in order to free up space
But none of them have worked so far. So I'm stuck with 490MB of free space on my device and yet I cannot update even a 2MB app. The problem is not with my Google ID or Network as I used them to download apps on my phone as well and they installed even when space is running as low as only 100MB. Can anyone suggest a solution for this? How can I get rid of this error/move apps to External SD and free up space? Thanks.
Can anyone alteast tell me if its possible at all to move apps to external SD on emulated storage?
same issue with me
Want to move apps to sd card.
I was wondering if anyone has been able to mount their SD card as internal (adoptable) storage on 7.0 (Nougat) and moved WhatsApp so the media folder is on the SD card?
I want to do this cause the S7 only has 32 GB of internal storage and I get so many pictures/videos in WhatsApp that every day I have to delete media off the internal storage.
I tried that developer mode option to allow all apps to move to SD and that let me move the WhatsApp app to SD but it kept the media folder on the internal storage.

Apparently it isn't possible on Nougat.

Found a solution myself
Another alternative to consider is an Xposed module called XInternalSD. Provided your S7 has root access and you've flashed the latest unofficial Xposed Framework compatible with Nougat, you'll be able to install apps like WhatsApp onto your SD card with ease, as well as store the .obb files of games. However, at the present time having Xposed Framework installed means that your phone will not pass Google SafetyNet, thus you'll lose access to Android Pay and the ability to download certain apps from the Play Store e.g. Super Mario Run & Fire Emblem Heroes. Magisk is currently unable to hide the presence of Xposed.
