My sd card is corrupt. So cant write new files to it. So i was wondering if there is any option in browser and downloads to download content to internal memory instead of sd card. I checked the settings in Internet Browser and there was an option default storage Memory card. So can i change it??
Thank you.
You cant save downloaded files (except apps) to internal memory
And BTW, this is NOT a section to post your queries, next time try to post in Q & A section

anyone can explain how apps move to sd card works on application manager? I actually moved all the apps from device storage to sd card and it does free up space from the device manager, but I don't see the moved apps located on my external sd-card, where did it go?
if so what did it move? simply only the APK file? or data was included?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It only moved apk not the data , data remains in the internal storage only
However if u are rooted u can use the foldermount app that can move the data also to Sd card
but which SD card did it move the apk files to? I thought it was to the external SD-Card, But I don't see anything moved to there when I open my external sd drive.
Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but I cannot figure out how to make the external SD card the default storage. Be it for downloads or data from apps, it's all saved on the internal one and I can't see a way to change it. Most answers I found on google are suggesting to change it in the settings (storage --> make SD card primary storage, which is not available) or in the aosp browser (not available either).
Any suggestions? Thanks!
Three screen shots to see below.
1. I don't think there is a "global" setting to make everything go to the SD card - some things just won't work from there.
2. You can move all your videos, pictures to the SD card - see screen shot.
3. The camera app has a setting for SD card as default - just search my posts as I already have posted screen shot of this.
4. Some individual apps can be moved to SD card, there is two places under settings /apps to see. a) individual app page whether it can be moved and b) the tab were it shows all the apps that are on the SD card. I haven't tried it but I think from this tab you can also select multiple apps to move to SD card at the same time. I would guess that ones that cannot be moved would be grayed out. Also keep in mind that sometimes apps that can be moved to SD card don't work properly afterwards. Most widgets fall into this category.
I hope this helps you.
there are a billion apps that will move the programs to your sd card link2sd is one example. Or you can wait till we get Android M
One cuestion about sd-card: google play music, cm music, apollo, don't read my mp3 files placed in sd-card, vlc player it reads, have: unlocked bootloader, squid kernel, stock rom, root, xposed, gravity box, no device check. Any idea?
To Makr external sd as defult u need to root your phone then install xposed frame work after that just install the modupe name Xinternal and in xposed tick mark on xinternal now your external sd is default
Who would want everything on extSD? Why not use your fast internal storage if you can? Music, Photos and videos on SD should be sufficient.
Hello
i have S4 I9500 and the internal memory have no free space because of some apps cant be moved to the SD card
i moved all the files and apps to the sd but still no free space
the main problem with the google play , i need to update or download anything i cant
how to make it download or update to the SD card directly ?
or how to merge the internal memory with the SD ?
or how to force move this apps that can't be moved - pic attached - ?
any help please
Hi,
My recommendation is to remove any app that you don't need to preserve more space on your Internal Storage. These apps couldn't be moved to SD card because of Android's policy.
Another alternative is to use Link2SD. However, it requires at least 16 GB of MicroSD card for this (if you are installing many apps and move it all at once!). But, it requires some re-partitioning. Searching for guides on XDA or Google could help you a bit.

@krasCGQ: This is a continuation of his previous thread. His main issue is that he's unwilling to uninstall apps to free up the space. Links 2 SD will help however.
I am curious though. What is he running that takes up 9GB of storage space?
I am trying to switch the Default storage from the main memory to an sd card. Not just for downloading stuff but to the point where all apps and data run off the sd card. 8GB of default memory just isnt enough so if any help could be rendered i thank you.
Changing default storage for storing apps and files is not an implemented feature to Samsung devices. But you can still move the apps and files to your SD card manually.
(And if there is a Samsung device that can change default storage, then it's a lucky device.)
I am using Xolo Q700s Cynogenmod Lollipop
I installed Cynogenmod 12.1 V3 stable. In that they had made inbuilt feature that External SD CARD is loaded as internal memory i.e SDCARD0. I want to chnage that because as I don't have any SD Card I cannot operate my phone. eg xender says sd card disabled and don't open. bluetooth says : transfer unsuccessful as sd card not found to save files. Cannot save books or data from app as download fails as my phone has no external sd card.
I tried changing fstab file but when i reboot the phone it gets back to default settings. I searched a lot but cannot find way to transfer internal sd card from external to internal memory. I can't understand how to change this setting in cynogenmod
Pls Help.
if possible reply at [email protected].
Edit 1 : When I checked fstab file in /system folder, the command was written as in last 2nd line: sdcard1:8 non-removable. What this is.
Pls help me, I cannot use my phone, cannot install and run apps and my phone is of no use to me.
