hi there guys
got an hermes 300 here... this is the problem:
when i got it i didnt had the storage card, the microSD card i got few days ago, a 2Gb Kingston... the card is well functioning and no problems...
before the card, everything was saved to main memory of ppc, aswell as MMS, camera pictures etc etc etc... now when i have storage card its same, dunno why? in camera settings i can switch only between main memory and network, no storage card shown... MMS is same, every copy is saved to main memory and it fulls it... nothing is saved to storage card... how to automatically switch all storage to storage card?
thx guys
Well where the apps store things is not automatic. In other words you need to go into an applications settings OR make changes to the Registry to set for example saving SMS or IE temp files from main to storage card.
Now the exact changes you need to make are already posted in this forum so searches should produce results. (if there is a particular setting you cannot find then ask again in this thread)
Now, a slightly different issue is where the camera stores photos:
Uunfortunately the camera is only capable of saving to one of two locations at any one time so:
If the view network folder is NOT enabled you will be offered:
"Main" or Storage card" and once set it will remember your choice and not ask again.
BUT with Network folder enabled and a storage card inserted you will:
be asked if you want to use "StorageCard" every time you start Camera, but in camera tools you will only be offered "Main" or "Network" even if you chose the card. It will not set to storage card even if you said you wanted this when camera started.
So, if you want to use main memory with a storage card inserted and don't want the silly question about using storage card each time, then you must disable the network folder. (Use Resco or Total Commander to do this - forget now if regular File Explorer does it)
Equally if you want to save to storage card you will also need "network" folder disabled otherwise it will save to Main memory even when you say yes to Storage Card on start up of the camera application.
The default setting for the Network folder is disabled, so if you are having problems it is likely to have been enabled by using the likes of Resco or Total Commander.

Hi All
I have the Head Unit Ga-5153 vw and i cant get APP's like Google Music or Navigation "Here" to write to my external SD Card.
I have tried things like Foldermount or Link2SD but everytime Google Music starts before the Directory Bind is done all music get deleted.
Normaly Google Music would show a Option to choose Storage location -> internal or external. On my device this option does not appear at all.
This is really annoying because after fresh installation i only have 3GB on internal storage.
I think the Current ROM is setup strangly and because of the way the internal Storage is mounted APP's cant see the external Storage correctly.
Please help me on this, i have been trying to get this to work for days. Either a workaround that really works or a real solution...
Greetings Combatratcat
Same here
Hi,
Have you solved the issue? It seems I am facing the same issue with my head unit.
And it looks like there is no out of this. I'm very annoyed by that since it sort of useless to have two card slots with 32x2 gb cards in them without actual capabilities of using them.
Looking forward to a solution.
Hi everyone,
I got the latest Moto X as soon as it went public because I loved the idea of Vanilla Android with SD support. I got the 16 GB version and a 64 GB SD. Ever since I got it, the phone has been bugging me about the storage and today I finally gave in. Until today I kept my photos, music and podcasts on my SD card but the internal memory was constantly full and I couldn't install new apps. So I thought formatting the SD card under Android 6 would make it one with the internal storage. It didn't. It made it worse. I can move apps to the SD card but I can't force photos and other media to be saved there. I was hoping for internal-SD continuity and I got a total lack of control. So now I can't receive SMS and I keep having "storage is running out" notification while I still have 60 GB free on my SD card.
What's your take on this? Thanks!
Since this is about SD cards, I'm having another problem to state if OP doesn't mind. On my Moto X, when using exploring (using file explorer) the original sd card I've used for years, many folders do not show up. The same happens to a video player (RockPlayer), where it doesn't show many folders I have on my card (it did when used on my previous Atrix 2). However, when I go to "Storage & USB" and select the card, everything is normal. That means, only when viewing the sd card via "Storage & USB", all folders appear.
However, applications and games (besides gallery) will assume the first situation, where those folders remain invisible. Does anyone know what the problem actually is?
Edit: After checking, it seems that my /sdcard folder is the same as /storage/emulated/0.
Thank you.

Seems like my sdcard folder is now C601-8353 under Storage folder, along with Emulated and Self folders.

Have you tried using OpenCamera instead? It's free, open source, AND lets you choose where to store the pics. IMHO the picture quality is better too.
You could also move the pics to the card manually after you take them...

Great call, thanks for the tip.
I haven't had any problems saving photos or other media to my SD card with adoptable storage. This is something you should be able to specify in preferences whether you are using adoptable storage or not. If this doesn't work with some apps just use a file manager to move the files to the SD card.
Sometimes when I move apps to my SD Card, I would get similar messages about being out of space, even though this wasn't the case. Deleting the cache on SD card seemed to fix the problem. There can also be a problem if your SD card is too slow. However, you would probably get an alert if that was the case.
My advise erase it all internal and sd card start from a blank state the phone should give you the option to mount the sd as internal I don't like how it is implemented so I chose not to use it.
For some strange reason my phone will not read my SD card I have it formatted to internal stage and now it says searching for SD card. I'm so mad I've searched all over with no solution, I'm about to get a new phone and scrap this one, sorry I'm just very upset and I had to vent, of anyone knows of this type of issue please share.

Hello fellas
First of all i apologise for behaving against forum rules or topic choosing or categorisation. I'm thankful for your understandings.
I have a Samsung Galaxy J5. As you Know, its internal Memory has fewer capacity as 8 gb than its equivalents. That's why, i periodically move the photos videos or similar things to external storage. Today i tried it again but when i was checking the space in the memory and its components i see aproximately 3 gb photo and video except the system, apps, etc. I'm really really sure rhat i moved all the photos and videos to external storage and checked many times but somehow the problem still exists. I don't know why and how this 3 gb ocucupancy but i need to solve it to have a better using performnce. What do you think about this? How can i solve the problem.
By the way i chose the external storage for the integrated camera app. Is it possible that the to cache or whatsoever to reach and use the photos and videos? Or is it possible for any other apps to do something like that?
Thanks in advance
Try to clean your cache of all apps .
Uninstall unused app .
Best thing you can do to is flashing a custom rom .
Or you can go with adoptable storage if you have fast memory card . (But it make app slow . I tried it on samsung evo+ )
So I'm almost out of space on my S8's internal storage, and realized that Tidal took up 14 GB of my space since I downloaded my songs in hifi quality. I decided to go into the apps settings and move all the data to my External storage, a 128gb SD card. It said it was exporting but to my surprise, afterwards I go to check my storage and neither my internal or external storage had changed at all, and if I moved it back the internal storage, nothing changes. Move it back to external, nothing changes. Any ideas? I restarted my phone and that didn't change anything either.
That just moves the app's data onto the sdcard, which is barely anything, it doesn't move the songs unless there's an option to save songs on the sdcard.
Go into the developer options in settings and enable "force allow apps on external" this will install apps on the sdcard and hopefully save their data there too. But you'll probably have to delete tidal and start all over.
You may wanna contact the devs. I have Google play music and am able to save hundreds of songs in high quality. I also have used Tidal in the past and had no issues like that.
i am trying to save a package disabler xml file, cant change from internal > external
