Im using newest MIUI rom and i can't see files on my sdcard when i go to file explorer. I tried remove sd card but it didn't help and on recovery i can see files on sd card? Anyone else have same issue?
Make sure you're looking at the external SD card and not the internal storage as that tripped me up a few times

Yes i am looking SDcard NOT internal storage. When i take SD card out i can't see even the internal storage. It says then that Please insert SD card, when i do that i can only see internal storage
Go to x5 settings and change the setting under sd storage. Then do a reboot.

Hi to all people,
I've been exploring my new Galaxy S2 and don't know how but... my camera can't save pics on internal SD card cause storage option is in grey and "Phone" is selected...
Also I can't move applications to SD so I think problem is in SD detection... but I've no idea at all... I tried to mount and umount with CMW in Recovery Mode but nothing... anyone can help me please?
Thanks in advance,
try another sd card
Sounds like card is becoming faulty.

If its the external sd card format it through windows fat 32 .
#If its the internal sd card you can format via CWM but that wipes all data .

Its the internal sd card (11Gb) that's the matter... I tried to format via CMW v4.0.0.2 (Mounts and Storage Menu --> format /sdcard) but the same matter i can't select SD card Storage in Camera Options ... Really it's possible to save pics there?
Thx
In the camera app, saving to the phone saves to the phone's internal 11GB space. Selecting the save to SD card option makes it save to the external microSD card.

Thx Sleepycat3,
I understand... so if this it's true i can "just" make 4700 photos (aprox)? Appart from that... there are so many applications wich i can "Move to SD" so... they move to External SD or 11gb partition?
Thanks a lot

You would be better off having the photos stored on the external microsd card than the internal memory.
By having them on the internal memory if you have problems with your phone and you have to factory reset you lose everything on the internal memory.
I put everything which I consider valuable onto the external memory card.
Periodically I then take this card out of the phone and copy it's contents onto my PC.
Yes, you could hook up your phone to your PC and copy the contents of the internal memory but should you have to factory reset you would lose everything from the last backup.
Hi,
I was just wondering whether it would be possible to set the default "storage /sdcard" path to be the ext Sd instead of the sdcard (which is the phone's internal memory). It does detect the card but still saves most things automatically to the internal Sd card.. Any ideas? I have a 64gb SanDisk ultra card

There is already a thread on this issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2257460
Yes, I know it is for the i9500, but the storage is essentially the same, so when the mod is released, it should work on both phones. On the last page in that thread there is a link to the original int2exsd thread and there are some posts suggesting the gs4 is nearing having a working mod. Patience is a virtue, the phone is still fairly new.

Foldermount, in the app store. Can't remember if I paid for it but I can put anything I want onto the external sd card and "pin" it so it looks like its on internal... Works well with a 64gb sd card...

COuld you tell me a bit more about this app? How to "pin" it?
You open the app, transfer the folder you want transfered to the external sd card and then you pin it using foldermount. It is really quite easy and the app shows you what to do the 1st time....
I've transferred my Android folder with all the appdata and obb files onto the sd card, a lot of the internal folders too. Haven't had any problems BUT I do have a class 10 samsung 64gb sd card....

I have the folder mount app and i have alredy pinned my deezer data folder since the beggining, even so my internal memory is still beeing used. As far as i can see its using both, the source folder and the destination folder.

Yes, apparently when you browse through 'my files" you can see data file in both ext n int sd. But it should be using only ext sd if you have mounted it correctly. Try unmounting the game data, delete the profile from folder mount and remount it. Remember if you have done something wrong and tell. I can help you.

Yeah, i´ve done that several times alredy. Its still using my internal memory. Correct me if i am wrong but if i am downloading something to the source folder that i have pinned it should automatically go to the destination folder and don´t use my internal memory, correct?

When you use folder mount, you are prompted to transfer to destination folder and if u hit yes then it will be transferred. It works perfectly on mine. Maybe u should try formatting the sdcard n try again.

Then first of all, unmount the game data in folder mount and delete that profile. it will prompt you to tranfer file to source. Hit no ( let it be on extsd). And then see whether the game file is still in the internal sd ? Or else try to mount a new game data present or put some game data on sd and try to mount it and note the amount of free space. after mounting, check the amount of free space. It should be different.

Hello, Now I don't really know what's going on cause i'm going crazy with this phone, eveytime I inserted sd card it asked the partition card and internal sd card and when I chose the external ones I have no idea why it doesn't read my sd card like for example I wanna transfer my file via airdroid or wanna restore an app via Titanium backup or play an NDS game it just read only the internal storage even though it shows on ES file explore (I tried the internal ones and it format my SD card, and S did put all the files back in place but it didn't help, the es file explore in photo was before I put my files back, by the way), my phone just doesn't read my sd card, it's like it just work as a one way storage, when I was using a Sony, this doesn't happens what so ever.
Does anyone knows how to fix this problem of mine, please help me. I took some pictures to make proves :crying::crying:

In titanium backup, open the preferences menu then choose backup folder location. Choose Storage provider (click to change). Then pick DocumentProvider storage, select the SD card on the left menu then press Select at the bottom right corner
go to settings>>storage>>click on external sdcard>>top corner 3dots>>settings>> format
then move media to sdcard.
Your SD card is showing in the file manager. You've 32gb sd card right? "FD89-1CE6" is your sd card. For titanium backup you need go to TB settings and set the backup directory to SD CARD ( FD89-1CE6)

Yeah, Thank you very much, i just did it last night, kinda having trouble with the superSU at first though, I tried to patched Titanium Backup on lucky patcher and it kept saying that I need to root my device, so i had to reflash superSU again. Thank god it went through. Now I having trouble with the internal SD card, I couldn't get it my play store to install app to my sd card or to re-direct my app to read file in my Sd card, for example I installed Chaos ring 3, I had to move all the file from my sd card to internal, it's knilling my internal storage TT^TT . Does anyone have a solution for that, please let me know.... I think everybody have the same problem though, does anyone know how to fix this solution? :crying::crying:

In Android 6.0, once you format ur external sd card as internal it becomes a part of ur internal memory and functions as internal one(the external SD card won't show up in file managers). Hence the phone decides where your app is installed either the real internal memory or the now formatted SD card working as internal memory.
If you don't format it as internal memory. The apps won't install on external SD card and you can't move the apps to external SD card.

No you can't coz the data on your sd card will be encripted n you won't be able to read it on your computer via card reader. I'd suggest you to keep your sd card as "portable device" if you want to transfer data via card reader.

I have added a 32gb SD Card but I can't even update applications as the rom is too low 8GB I believe. And it's occupied by os mostly. I moved all the apps to sd card but still the apps don't get moved completely from internal storage. And after update the apps get back to internal storage.
How do I get rid of this annoying problem!!?
Try factory resetting, maybe its a bug

So this doesn't happen to anyone else?
Also I noticed when I move app to sd card it doesn't completely move it. say a 222mb app after moving to sd card, it shows 167mb on device storage and 2xx on sd card!
I had that problem.. I partitioned my sd card, I downloaded link2sd plus and I was able to move the whole app to sd card, it's better to use the option link to sd card rather then the option move to sd card, your apps run properly when you link instead of move.. I also installed a custom rom , Igot memory for days
