I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 GTi9505 and I noticed something very odd and very confusing.
On my HTC Desire phone, I use ES File Explorer and it only has SD Card and of course the System files.
But, on the S4, it has two directories for the SD card which are: ExternalSD and SD Card
My personal data like my photos and documents are under the ExternalSD rather than under SD Card.
I noticed this on Airdroid app first and then on ES File Explorer.
So when saving my personal date onto my phone and whenever I buy a new phone in the future, all should be on the External SD card instead of the SD Card in case I have to swap those personal files and data onto that new phone???
See attached photo screen from Airdroid, and this is using my S4 phone. So you see, it has two SD cards. One External SD and the other SD Card.
So if I want to SAVE or BACKUP my personal data andmy photos, should I store them under the ExternalSD folder?
Thanks

Sdcard is internal sdcard (non-removable) extSdCard is external sdcard (removable). So you store all your music, photos (can set the camera to save it to external) videos and documents to external card and you can later put that card into another device. Internal sdcard is mostly for application and game datas, currently, if your not rooted, you can't move those giant games and etc to external card. The new firmware can only move the application itself to external card but not game data.
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?

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.
Hi.
I fixed the SD card, but if i install a game and place the data files in the correct place in the SD card, the game want to re-download the files to the mobile.
Can i fix this somehow? The game doesn't care about the data in the SD card.

Hi Guys, I just wanted to check if there's any fix to move apps to SD card, I've tried a couple of apps & xposed modules too but nothing's working.
it's running on android 6.0.1 u have to format sd card as internal storage to install apps on sd card and sd has to be minimum class 10 or else apps will take a lot of time to launch

By doing this I will only be able to use my SD card for installing apps & nothing else, it'll not let me store anything else on SD card & thats why I am not formatting the SD card as internal.
