Hi, I am a very accomplished PC super-geek user who can troubleshoot/fix just about any computer problem, and I'm looking for the equivalent person in regards to the Android phone.
I just bought a (brand new) DuraForce E6810 and put a new 32GB SD card in. When I put the card in, I elected for it to be used as internal memory in order to install/run apps from it. The SD card shows up in Settings > Storage, but it does not show up in ANY of the file manager apps I'm trying to use to manipulate/move files. I figured the "internal" storage might show up as 64GB in the file manager apps (32 internal + 32 SD configured as internal), but that is not the case. The file manager apps only show the 32GB internal memory that came with the phone. Anyone have any advice? I am planning to root the phone in order to (hopefully) take advantage of the HotSpot feature as well as the FM radio chip. Any advice on these topics would be greatly appreciated, also.
Thanks!

Thanks for moving this to the Kyocera DuraForce superthread. My device is Kyocera DuraForce Pro E6810 (Verizon). I have a 32GB MicroSD card, to go along with the phone's 32GB Internal memory.
After formatting the SD card as INTERNAL memory, I connected the phone to my computer via USB and selected USB File Transfer (MTP). On my computer, it ONLY shows the SD card with 28.6GB free out of 29.2GB Total memory, and the phone's ACTUAL internal memory is not listed at all.
After reformatting the SD card as PORTABLE storage and connecting the phone to my computer, it lists the SD card with 29.7GB free of 29.7GB Total, and the Internal memory with 15.0GB free of 21.0GB.
Both the SD card and the Internal memory of the phone are 32GB total space, which should be 64GB combined. Can someone please tell me why after formatting the SD card as INTERNAL storage, I only see 29.2GB TOTAL memory on the phone, and there is NO Internal memory listed at all when connected to my computer?
So I think I have this figured out, someone please verify this for me:
Formatting the SD card as INTERNAL storage REPLACES the phone's original internal storage and DOES NOT ADD TO IT! Is this essentially correct?
im a bit late on the response sorry
but respectively, yes you are pretty much correct. although it doesnt run off of the internal FS via the sd card, that would be silly, i believe it creates a duplicate partition of the part of the internal FS that allows a specific type of apps data to be run the can normally not run externally. such as meta data and binary files which contain the "actual" code for the app and not just a users cached data. To be honest i could be wrong idk, but that is my idea of what happens in your case. ita definitely happened to ne before.

Hello everyone. I decided to post on here because I had no idea where my device would fit. I am using android 6.0 on my phone. When I go to file manager, it shows that I have 6.44GB free of 7.89GB on internal storage. Even apps like disk usage and storage analyser show I have 6.44GB free. However, when I connect to PC(MTP), It only shows 1.55GB. I can't even copy anything onto the internal memory anymore. It always says 'insufficient storage' or something. I tried looking for the vold.fstab, I couldn't find it. My phone is rooted. All I found is fstab.mt6580. I need help. I want to access my internal storage as well. Thanks.

Hell everyone am not a tech but just an Android user with a broblem.l OK, I own an ainol numy 3g Chinese version. I came with 1gb ROM 4gb storage and I install a 16gb SD card. My problem is every thing I down load is going on a 1 GB internal memory storage. And the 4gig storage is there untouched and it doesn't give you option to choose where to store your data or downloads. However the sd card was being recognised but I could not download to it, again no option but at least one could see the sdcard is mounted. All of a sudden the sdcard was unmounted and the phone wouldn't see it still inserted.
So I decide to root the phone and install Root explore to check if I can detect the sauce of the problem. First thing was I try to write to edit bold.fstab and Rexp reported that the system is in mounted. Same thing for the 4gig storage and the sd card. So I downloaded adb tool. When I try to check for my system adb reported that the system is in available. Go back to root explorer it reported that my USB is in mounted. Can any one help me to solve my problem. Thanks in advance.

Hi
I recently bought a 32 gb class 10 SanDisk ultra SD card SDHC-1. Then I partitioned it using Minitool partition wizard, so that I could use it in Link2sd and free up some space
After a month or two my phone suddenly restarted and I'm guessing because of that Link2sd couldn't recognize the second partition. Then using the SD card adapter I tried to delete the partition or format or whatever you could do in Minitool partition wizard and easeus, the process would go on Aaaaaand wala NOTHING HAPPENS! The files remain as it is not even corrupted, my phone still recognizes the card but not Link2sd nothing is being erased from the card.
And now EaseUS shows that one of the partitions is of some OTHER file system and when I format it, a window pops up saying:
''there are some error occurred while writing partition chains on disk''
I really wanna fix this cuz the card was pretty expensive and I don't wanna buy a new one, I mean it was CLASS 10!!
PLZ HELP

Thanks for the reply, but you see my problem is not Link2sd or how to use which is what you gave the links for. So I'm sorry to say this but those links didn't help. What I want is how to FIX my SD card, not how to use Link2sd but thanks anyways for replying
So nobody has replied for about a week now Does that mean that I cant fix it?
HUAWEI GR3 2017 (PRA-LX2)
Android 7.0
EMUI 5.0
Internal Memory: 16GB
So at first I don't have any problem with my phone but as time goes by here comes its weakness, its internal memory running low. Every time I need an app to be downloaded I need to uninstall app/s in exchange of the new one. In my case I don't want that kind of process, in short I want many apps on my phone. So I bought an sd card (128GB CLASS 10) because I saw a solution here in XDA. A solution of partitioning the sd card using its half memory to be an internal of my phone to increase it to have more apps but unfortunately it didn't work I don't know why. I didn't want to root my phone because of some issues of bricking it. This partitioning don't required rooting. I gave up and tried to root my phone because I saw some video on youtube using apps like "App2SD". Again, rooting doesn't work on my phone so I can't use that app. One more thing in the settings of my phone, when I go to apps then storage, I can't find the option of moving the app/s on sd card. Sorry one more thing is my phone can't reformat the sd card as an internal memory. Please help me, give me all your knowledge about this. I hate running low on memory. Thanks in advance!
NOTE: I tried rooting using Kingroot and Kingoroot (Android not PC version) only. I haven't tried the PC versions.

Hello everyone,
I have a very strange problem that I got yesterday evening. Usually, I can find myself the solution or with the help of search forms or google but this is very strange and I need expert of Android. That's why I am asking it here.
I have a Vernee Thor E (the model of the phone is not needed I think) and I have a shared memory between my internal memory of 16 GB and a micro sd card of 16 GB. Yesterday, some apps didn't launch and I first thought I had to reboot my phone. But when I did that, some appls disppeared from my phone and all photos and videos. So it was like my SD card was not detected anymore.
Now, the SD card is detected again (and also as a shared memory) but I cannot access anymore the old data (about 8 GB). So the sd card is half used and I see that 8GB is used but I cannot access the data. Files are hidden. And as it is a shared memory, a computer cannot read these data.
Is there a way to have access to these files or restore the old link ? With some adb commands or something else ?
Thank you very much for your help.

Thank you very much. So, now I hope that the system didn't delete the key. I will try this this week and of course, I will come back here to explain what I did if it can help other people.

There are other methods here for various states of sdcard/adoptable storage corruption. Try finding one that specifically suits your scenario based on what is or isn't accessible and how the card is or isn't being detected.
The solution might be different or even easier depending on the specific conditions involved.
