Hey guys,
I've follow the tutorial for the sdcard. It's now recognize (i think). On the storage android says that i have 69.01 giga used on 128. But when i put some files it's goes only on the memory of my device. I don't undestand.
Can you help me guys ?
Thanks you by advance
With Android, SDCard = Internal storage
For your MicroSD card, it will be probably called a load of characters such as 82D8-2175
Or External

Hi, can anyone please help?
I have just purchased the Asus eee pad Transformer and it automatically updated to 3.1. I have put some apps on it through the android market.
I went to put some apps/photos etc onto the removable card to save some internal space but when I went into settings then to applications then to manage applications the option to 'move to sd' was not showing on any of the apps. can anyone tell me why and if possible how to rectify this.... what is the point in having a removable card and cant use it. Any replies would be much appreciated..... thanks Jayne
16GB is not enough space for your apps?
You dont need to move apps to SD card as all internal memory (about 16 or 32GB depending on which version you have) is used for applications.
removable sd can be used for for music, movies and any other 3rd party files..
16gb is more than enough for installing apps... (I think...)
there's no app2sd in honeycomb, this is different from what android 2.x does.
thanks for the replies,
I am not able to put pictures/music etc. on to sd card. how do you do it in case I am missing something
thanks
There are several ways to add to The removable SD card. You can get ES file explorer and transfer from SD Card ( internal mem) to Removable card or if you set up your system right use ES file explorer to transfer from your desktop/laptop to the Removable Memory. If you don't want to do that, just put the removable card in your computer , transfer music and photos to it and return it to the TF. I use a Tonido Plug ( small inexpensive ubuntu server) on my network to store everything, then just download or stream to TF via ES File Explorer.
Thanks for this answer, I was actually also asking myself this question.
I saw that app2sd exists on the android market so I guess it doesn't work on our transformer, right ?
there is also an issue I am facing : I downloaded a free application to measure the speed reading and writting of the new SD card I have installed. Whatever I try, the software always check the SDcard directory (so internal) but never the microsd I have installed.
I tried with another one and there is still the same problem. Is it a honeycomb restriction ?
Working with the microsd card seems very difficult (I am still a newbie that may explains why).
Indeed, most of apps only see your internal SD Card.
I've found something to work around the problem - you just have to edit/modify the vold.fstab file.
You can find it in /system/etc/.
Then replace this line:
dev_mount microsd /Removable/MicroSD auto /devices/platform/sdhci-tegra.2/mmc_host/mmc1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
by this one:
dev_mount microsd /sdcard/_MicroSD auto /devices/platform/sdhci-tegra.2/mmc_host/mmc1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Reboot your TF01!
Now, your TF101 will mount the MicroSD in a directory from the internal SD Card '/system/sdcard/_MicroSD'. All your apps will see it...
PS: you can edit/modify this file with some apps like Root Explorer.
Need Permission
I tried to edit this file but came back with read only tag. I tried to change permissions but again came back read only system file. How do I change the read-only tag?
Found how to do it
I found how I could use adb to pull the file, edit in Notepad and then push it back. It worked.
Hi Friends,
I'm new to forum and bought new Galaxy R.
The partition in phone is divided into 3
1. phone memory 1.9 gb
2. USB storage 3.7 gb
3. My SD card 7.4 gb
Now the problem is I have download games and my USB storage is full.
I also I tried copying to SD card and playing it. but didn't work.
Since, This is my new phone I don't wanna root at early level since the company warranty is void if it is rooted as I have heard from friends.
I need help to copy into SD card and play without rooting
or atleast my game recognise the path of sd card where i have transferred.
I have seen previous post and tried many soft like apps2sd, etc.. nothing worked.
any alt solutions to copy in SD and play without rooting...
Thanks in advance..
Also when I try to transfer the files to SD Card using manager or other soft's but failed.
For example: Like I tried moving Gameloft Real football 2012 to SD Card. It only copies some 10 or 12 mb file which we download from market not the full files which we download later (i.e approx 400 mb)..

GL TO SD requires root. As given in the instructions, and i and the original poster doesn't want root.
Any other feasible option?

Hi Friends,
I found some important stuff regarding the USB Storage & SD card..
This is for "Non-rooted" mobile phones.
I installed ES file explorer & X-plore and also few other apps.. This is to check how arrangement of file system are in the phone.
Now what i absorbed is, In the display of phone memory it shows 1.9gb and for SD Card memory it shows 4.9gb which is USB storage not the one which I have installed 8gb SD Card.
So its like this..
" /mnt/sdcard " This is for USB 4gb space (Non extendable)
" /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/ " This is for my 8gb sd card (Extendable)
Hence, when ever any App wants to download additional data it goes to USB Storage (I.e /mnt/sdcard ) not to SD 8gb expandable storage card.
I want to configure or use the command to make the application to choose default location as " /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/ " to save in my extendable memory card without rooting.
IS THIS POSSIBLE... Please do let me know from the experts...
THANK YOU..
From what i have seen , u need a shadow copy or u need to bind the folders in some way, which requires root... I see no other way...

Hello,
My One SV is Taiwan's version, Android 4.2.2,Sense 5,rooted & S-Off
I have some problems with the phone storage.
Because the phone storage is divided into 2 parts in Taiwan's version,just like the attachment.(I didn't know whether it also divided into 2 parts in other versions)
The two parts are:
1.APP Storage,3.85GB
2.Phone Storage,4.15GB
Can I enlarge the APP Storage?Or can I clean the "OTHER DATA"in the App storage?
(Just like the attachment,2.7GB of OTHERS,Can I use Root browser or some other way to clean it?)
Because it shows that I don't have enough app storage to sync.
Oh,by the way,I have APP2SD,and move most of APPs to SD(I divided the SD card into two parts:FAT32&NTFS,and the APPs are in the FAT32 part)
Thanks.

If you are rooted there's ALREADY a specific thread for your issue called "Swap your internal and external memory (sd card)". Just search!

Oh,this is a good way to enlarge the storage. =)
but it can only swap the "internal storage(4.15g)",can't change the "app storage(3.85g)"
But i have another question,
can i clean the data in the 3.85gb part of storage?
i think that it is some way to clean the garbage data in that part.
Thank you in advance. =)

No,it is impossible to use external SD card to install apps WITHOUT ROOTING.
If you have rooted it,you can use the app "Link2SD",and move the apps to external SD card.

Hello,
I have SanDisk 8GB microsd card Class 2. My phone is Samsung Galaxy Core 2 (SM-G355).
My phone total storage is 4gb out of which 1.82 gb is used for phone and others for apps and my own files.
Currently my microsd is only 8gb drive in my phone ( only 1 partition now )
I want to install asphalt 8, modern combat 5, gta sa ( total about 4 or 5 GB). My sd card have 8 gb space so i want to install my apps in my sd card and not in my little phone memory. I am unable to do it myself and it is no use of sd card with 7.4 GB free of my sd card, i want it for apps.
I do not have a sd card reader for my pc so is there anyway i can do it via phone using twrp or cwm or link2d (free) ?
I have put some pics which tell about my phone and sd card in attachment (please see)
Thanks,

The best way is to do it in phone app manager.
You can move apps from downloaded section not allready on your SDCard ( internal ) to external (extSDCard).
Click on the app and use the enabled Move to the SdCard option button.
The second way is to use ADB shell command adb shell pm set-install-location 2.
Code:
pm get-install-location: returns the current install location.
0 [auto]: Let system decide the best location
1 [internal]: Install on internal device storage
2 [external]: Install on external media
pm set-install-location: changes the default install location.
NOTE: this is only intended for debugging; using this can cause
applications to break and other undersireable behavior.
0 [auto]: Let system decide the best location
1 [internal]: Install on internal device storage
2 [external]: Install on external media

Thank you Stratos for you help but actually when i move app from appmanager it moves only 36 mb out of 1.5 GB and the remaining 1 gb obb files are on my internal memory. I do not want to move them, I want to directly install them ONLY on sdcard and the google play / google chrome should not download anything to internal memory. I want my external sdcard to act as my internal memory. Is there any way I can fool my phone ?

Try second options, If U don't know how to do it right, just ask or search xda/google.
Or swap internal with external :

Hi Again,
Thanks for your help. The second option which you provided worked for me to move my apps to sd card and play games but in that case i have to install my apps first in internal memory and then move it to external sd card using GL To SD and i have to mount it everytime i restart phone. I can play games now and install more apps but is there anyway i can install directly say 3gb or 4gb on external without moving ?
Thanks,

Uninstall games.
Use adb/terminal emulator :
pm set-install-location 2
All the instalation will be made from now on external card. Default is 0 (auto)
install game.
As told u can always swap location with @Y300-0100 init.d script if U want from previous post.
The set location does not works. Even when i do it using adb tool and it shows my current install location as external when i install N.O.V.A.3 it says insufficient storage space available ?
:/
Please help me. I do not want to go in much detail about swapping memories cuz it might result in corrupting my sd card/ phone memory or I would end up bricking / bootlooping my phone. Furthermore the link you gave me says that I need a kernel with init.d support . I dont know if i have the kernel with init.d support or not. And I installed Busybox from google play store and not from a script. Will it work ?
Thanks.
