Default Download Change - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Is it possible to change the default download folder from the internal storage to external storage? I have searched and found nothing along the lines of this that has been answered.

I've searched about this too, and it seems for now there's nothing. But you can always move files with the built in file manager.

With the default android browser I go settings > content settings > default storage > memory card. I hope that helps

Thanks much.

External hard drive

How do I connect one and view it the tablet?

You must use a FAT32 formatted drive.
If there are pictures, music and videos on there, the appropriate applications will find them.
To browse, use a file manager. I personally like Dual File Manager.
Thanks but where would I go to locate the USB

If you use Dual File Manager it will see /mnt/sdcard as your default directory. Hit the Android Back Button once and down at the bottom you should see "usb_storage"

Cannot delete or move nandroid backups

Could some one help me out here? I tried connecting my phone to PC. I was able to access storage, however, I couldn't access " data/media/clockwork" from there since I only seem to have access to my phones sdcard folder.
Next I used root browser to try and move the files to my SD card. Didn't work. It copy and pasted but the file either didn't get copied or its size was 0 bytes. Tried deleting one backup. It says is been successfully deleted but it stays there and no space frees up on my phone. I'm clueless as to what I should be doing next. Anyone?
Thanks in advance

Move or copy the clockworkmod file straight to the sdcard. System and Data files are not viewable on the pc. Just copied a nandroid to the sdcard with Root Explorer, no problem and it shows up when connected to the pc.

You can also delete backups when in CWM itself, in case you didn't know
Thanks for help guys. It was a simple solution, but often the simple things are overlooked. There must have been something wrong with my superuser permission. Restart fixed it.

Download to SD Card

Question I remember with my Galaxy Note II I could download files from the internet and they would download to a folder called Downloads on the SD Card and not on the internal memory, but now with the Galaxy S4 it downloads to the internal memory and not the SD Card. Is there a way to hack this or configure it to download to SD Card?

Go to Stock browser, i.e. "Internet". Go to Settings > Content Settings > Default storage. Select Memory Card. Done.

How is storage work in Nougat?

Just updated to Nougat and was curious how the SD card works now on Nougat. Do we still have to hook up to ADB and partion the drive?

When you enable Developer Options, there's a menu option under
Settings -> Developer Options ->
Enable this menu option:
Force allow apps on external
Should do the trick!
I just enabled this but new apps don't seem to be going to my sd card. Internal storage gets larger and larger with every app install. Not sure exactly how to use this feature.

You have to move each app individually. Go to settings/applications/ choose the app go to /storage then "move to sd card"
