So I have Solid explorer which I love besides I cant move a frecking thing with it anymore. When I had my Sony Z2 that wasn't any problem but obviously it is now!
Is there a fix for this ? Also my phone is not rooted. Is this a bug or is it a new IOS policy adopted to Android? Tried SD fix apps on Playstore but nothing helps
If you have an international version I believe root exploit has been found, don't quote me on that, however, for US models bootloader is locked so no root available.
Yes I have the international version. Not sure if I want to try and root it yet. Seams risky
Use the stock file explorer

I apologize as I tried to search but I suppose I'm not good at that either.
I am trying to point a podcast program to download to my external sd (microsd) card. I cannot figure out how to find the correct patch to tell the program. The stock file explorer says one thing and I downloaded Astro and it tells me another.
I can copy files to the card (I have the camera saving pics there).
What am I doing wrong that I can't figure the path to a created folder on my micro sd card?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks. Something is wrong then. I have tried with BeyondPod and Pocketcast to point them to download to the external sd card with no luck.
Anyone have any luck doing this or suggestions?
I agree.
There is something wrong with the way SD card is handled.
Titanium backup for instance only shows 440Mb capacity, Root explorer shows 1Gb and system settings sees it as 32Gb.
Weird!
Surely someone has tried to do what I am trying. Anyone?
Okay, I did a LOT of reading here and I THINK I know what is going on. (Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.)
Apparently, apps cannot write to the external card including aftermarket file explorers. There might be a fix here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454178 but it requires root. I have never rooted anything so I am a bit scared to try.
I hope this may help someone else having a similar issue.

Edit the permission will solve write problem.
Root is easy, just flash the zip file, all done.
Are there any drawbacks to rooting this device?

Yes, you won't be able to play DRM protected films (incl. those from the market) and probably Google Music's MP3 store won't work anymore, too. I'm sure there will be more of the like.
I rooted mine, corrected the SD card's permissions, I'm able to set the font size (which breaks TouchWiz, you'll need to have another launcher installed beforehand) and the more.
But: it's not easily revertable, you would have to flash the original firmware as far as I've read.

Trying to find an answer before I buy this phone. Is there a non-rooting option that will let me download music/save photos/store movies straight to a microsd card? If not, which rom do you recommend?
I have never rooted before btw.

Everything works better with root. Root just means that you have permission to modify system settings and files.
Kitkat, the latest version of the OS tightened security and no longer allows third party apps to freely write files anywhere on your SD card. Now they have to stick to their own directory on the card. This breaks or at least restricts what older apps can do.
But you should be able to find a newer app that does the things you asked about.. as long as the app has been updated to the new method of keeping all of it's files in one directory tree.
If you have root, you could change or remove those SD card restrictions.
.
So I updated to Lollipop via the root method in this forum. My apps are having problems accessing the SD Card. For example, in PowerAmp, I can't delete music on my sd card. Titanium backup will not create backups because it can't access the SD Card. BitTorrent Sync is another app that doesn't have access to the SD Card.
I thought that Lollipop allowed apps to have access to the Sd Card now unlike Kit Kat. I believe the App has to be written to take advantage of this in Lollipop. Is the issue that my apps don't support this? Is there some fix i can do like in kit kat? Is anyone else having this problem?
You're correct. It depends on the app. For instance, es file explorer will prompt for it and have you select the bottom level of the sd card ( I know, it's the root directory, but didn't want to use that term because it has nothing to do with the phone being rooted and wanted to avoid confusion)...anyway, after that selection you can do things as expected through that app and the sdcard. btw, I'm completely stock.

When I upgraded to lollipop I couldn't write or delete from my sd card. Even with es file explorer. I had to go to the play store and find an app to fix it. Just search SD Fix and choose one with good ratings (I can't remember the one I used)
are you both rooted/custom Rom? for stock and me at least, I just updated to lollipop then updated the es file explorer app and that was it.

I am rooted, no custom ROM. I just installed ES File Explorer (didn't have it installed before) and I was able to navigate to the SD Card and delete files. So I'm wondering if PowerAmp, TBU and BitTorrent Sync don't have the functionality yet? I'm going to try and un-install and re-install each one and see if that helps. When I upgraded from KK to LP, I did a data restore for apps. Not sure if that might have messed anything up.
I think you're probably OK and didn't mess anything up...best bet is to check with the app dev directly to see if they've considered or are possibly working towards that. So far, I've only encountered one app that uses that functionality from my set of many that's installed...that one is es file explorer. I'm checking with the devs of a couple others I use.

So I wonder if I should just use an SD Card Fix app in the meantime because I really need the ability for those 3 apps to edit files on my SD Card.
not sure, but sounds like it worked for briantacker. If it does work for you, please post what you did & which app you used so that others may profit from your success as well.

Ok, so I tried un-installing and re-installing BitTorrent Sync but I was still getting a message that it did not have permission to write to the SD Card. So I installed this, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix , even though it's for Kit Kat and it worked. I've only tested it with BitTorrent Sync but I'm sure it will work with the other two apps.

Sd card fixer for kit kat worked for me. Titanium works fine now and i can backup to the extsdcard.

Yeah, looks like that fixed my issue with Titanium backup and Poweramp.
From what I can tell, even though I used the app you recommended, not all apps get access. The one that I found that didn't is didn't is Dolphin Browser. I was hoping to be able to save to card. Oh well. I know the fix worked because titanium backup will backup to card. I guess that I may have to email the developer.
I'm unable to grant access to external SD Card using ES File Explorer and Dropsync as external SD Card does not appear on the grant access file explorer. I have selected show SD and rename the external SD Card too and it does not work. Anyone facing the same problem and how to overcome this?

What are you trying exactly? Reading it? To write it you need root access. Do you have your phone rooted?

I don't think we have to root to obtain write access. In Android 5 (Lollipop) there is a new official way for apps to write to the external SD card whereby Apps must ask the user to grant write access to a folder on the SD card. They open a system folder chooser dialog. The user need to navigate into that specific folder and select it.
But in my case, the external SD does not shows when the system folder choose dialog box opens

Same here, so I needed root access. But you're right that's a bug on HTC stock rom base, file manager doesn't show it

Oh. It's a known bug then. Thanks.
However, I don't think rooting is a good idea as it will void my warranty. I have experienced this before. My HTC one M8 warranty claim was rejected due to rooting

Well, It doesn't work as it supposed to. Maybe worth filling a bug on HTC support site too, I haven't got to that yet
Same here
Same here , the granting was ok in the M9 , but after upgrading to M9+ ( or downgrading ) I face this problem , and no body in the Internet seems to solve it without root , waiting for the update , for sure it'll be solved in the marshmallows update , but when it will come , sure after the M8 ,and that's why I mention downgrading above , everything was OK in the M9 in term of performance , then they pushed out the M9+ to the market with some improvement ( the camera still ****ty without RAW support , the qhd is not a big deal , the fingerprint scanner is great, but the performance is bad , to be honest m it's bad even in the daily usage and no fast charging , which is supposed to be supported by the mediateck processor ) so it's another disappointment from HTC , , They had all the perfect elements but they didn't made the perfect device , I'm pretty sure that the M10 will be their last chance , let's wait and see
After all , not only HTC making a good build quality smartphone with premium design and awesome software, we can have a nexus now right .
Hi I have a question about my rooted Alcatel One Touch Pop Astro Model 50042T. First off I have rooted phones and tablets and moded gaming systems so I have a general-intermediate understanding of the process of rooting but I'm pretty much lost after that. (Also I do NOT have ready access to a PC for the time being.)
So my main concern is that my phone should have 4gb of internal storage and it is only showing that I have 1.80gb!! I know that there are partitions or divvied space that are hidden or you need special permissions to edit. Is that the USB storage? If I'm wrong about that sorry, please correct me.
So my question is how do I reorganize, modify, or even delete hidden partitions? Anything to return my phones visible 1.80gb of storage to the original 4gb? I just need to be able to access it again to install apps on it. If the whole 4gb is impossible, can I get it back to the 3.7-3.8gb that was available when I first purchased it? Please help!!
Im not sure its completely rooted. Im running king root version 4.9.6 and Purify version 1.5.2.159 and I might have installed a custom ROM or kernel but I'm not entirely sure. I got the pphone approximately 3-4 months ago and I rooted it the same night. And I tried multiple versions of king root and other apps and eventually my phone storage disappeared.
•I would install a root checker if I had enough space.
•I used purify to get rid of apps that I figured were bloatware but I still only have 43.82mb available
•I have transferred every app to the SD card that can be stored there.(If there is way to store system apps and apps that usually can't be stored on external SD I would like to know.)
Thank you for your help,
Maxx
