Hello Im having a very serious issue with my phone. I cant move apps to my SD Card for some reason. my phone is rooted and i tried using app2usb or whatever its called but still no luck i know my phone can read the SD because i have songs on it and my music player can play the songs on my SD but i just dont understand why its not letting me transfer apps nor letting me install apps into it. PLEASE HELP!
I have a Samsung Galaxy S 4g from tmobile with custom rom, Cynogen Mod 9 ICS. I also have a 8gb SD card
I have also tried deleting smdl2tmp1.asec but i cant find that in my phone nor my SD Card
Had u try link2sd

If it's really important transfer everything to your computer instead then to SD

the music is on my ext sd card but no matter what rom it's on it won't show up there. I did flash back to a stock rom and it still is there and shows up and works just fine. Is there any way to fix this?
Have you tried unmounting your sd remove it. Then put it back in? This happend to me recently and thats how I fixed it. Also plug your phone up to a pc and see if it can read the files from your sd through the phone.

Try re-scan media from the market. Basically we want to force a rescan of both sd cards

Tried both ideas and they didn't work. I was able to pull up file in file manager and play through there but that's a pain in the ass
Hmm, thats odd. Are you using the stock player? And have you tried downloading different players from the market, or flashing one to test it? What build version are the ROMs you are using also?
I have tried about 8 different roms. My current one is Toxic7.xwjs8
Kernel version 2.6.32.9 OverStock-1.2GHz-2.4.1 #8
I have tried the players that flash on the rom ,I've tried dl win amp. I even thought that it may have been an issues since the music was synced with the kies 2.2 update so i formatted the sd card and put it all back on again and still nothing
try putting it in the int sd...
I know that works but I don't want it using my internal memory plus I have to much music
any other ideas
Idk what else could be. Does your phone actually read the card at all If you go to storage in settings? Have you tried a different sd yet?

You have got to settings on your media players, click where it says scan folders. Select the. External sd. After that refresh the app. That's it. I have a full 16GB of music and its able to read it.

Is there anyway to move apps to SD? I know they took out the feature in ICS, but maybe via an app or something? 8GB is pretty small when you take away a gig for a rom slot...

better yet, has anyone figured out if you can flip flop the internal and external sd locations so the phone thinks your external sd card is the primary? I know this was possible on the X2 and the RAZR's.
I have the memory switch .zip file, but no way to install it on my rooted Droid RAZR M
I was curious how difficult would out be to just rename the internal storage from sd card to internal storage? If that is possible then we could just rename external to sd card then we should be able to move apps to the card easily.

Tried an app from the market and it seems working: GL to SD. need root access

nah. tried renaming them last week or so and it not only didnt work, the damn things renamed themselves upon reboot. im pretty pissedf about the memory on this phone cuz the phone itself is pretty snappy.
Dang I guess Motorola has this phone on lock down. I used my EVO 4g to copy songs over to my SD card and once I inserted it back in and tried to mount it, it kept saying blank, so I rebooted my phone and it showed up. If I wasn't as smart as I am I would have probably formatted the damn thing lmao I was wondering if they did that as a minor precaution to people trying to hack the phone with something on the SD card, but then again I'm sure if they did a reboot wouldn't have made it show up then.

So were you able to move anything other than game data to your ext sd? It let me move dropbox, but nothing else showed up on its list of transferable files.
Hi there, I've noticed that recently my Note3 (SM-N900) suddenly heats up. I also noticed there are issues with the SD Card don't know for sure that these issues are related but seems that could be, when the card gets disconnected until I reboot the phone.
My current SD Card is a Samsung 64GB (Class 10). Android Version: 4.3*

I've never had an issue with class 10 Sandisk 32 and 64GB cards, not in the S3, S4, Note3 or TF700t.... (except once, it got corrupted, I had to format it because I was too lazy to unmount it before ejecting every time... Learned my lesson!)
As for the heating, sounds like media server getting stuck on a corrupt file or a huge folder.
-Hook the card up to a pc, let windows explorer do a search for 0kb files. Under search settings>size, or type 'size:empty' (without the quotes) in the search bar. Delete any 0kb media files. (leave the nomedia, playlists and appfiles alone). Repeat process for the phone storage.
-Put a .nomedia file in every folder not containing music, video or pictures you need. You can copy an existing one from another folder.
-If you have a folder with over 1000 files, split them up or if it's not media, hide it with a nomedia file. (I have one folder with over 18.000 files, Mediaserver turned my phone into a grill trying to process it...)

Hi guys..has anyone of you having thesame problem after kitkat updates? When i try to unmount my sd card from settings it takes 30-60 secs and booom!my n9005 restarted itself and as if nothing has happen..my sd card still mounted. I did try to unmount it again and still same thing happens. At first i noticed that when i try to browse my files from the sd card using es file manager .it shows "invalid path" but after i updated the app it works fine..but still the problem unmounting occurs.. i search all over the web but seems nothing was facing this problem before.here r the other infos of my device:

I have this problem on my s5 but not on my note3 they both run kitkat which is the issue. Google has locked down the software so that you cant use 3rd party apps to transfer files straight to SD card.
Not sure of a fix yet unless you ROOT the device

strange.. I have no problem before OR after rooting,(I have an s5 Active on AT&T)... Is it too much trouble to try restoring and starting from scratch? Quite obviously youre having a problem others aren't,(storing music on an sd card). That would lead one to belive its either a software or hardware problem specific to YOU only. Something has happened since your last clean set-up..
I don't know.. im quite slow witted but that's an idea..
of course, however, im adding them to the sd card FROM MY EXTERNAL HD. NOT from the s5 internal memory to the sd card... ...if that's the case, try moving from the phone's memory to a folder on your desktop and then back into the phone via sd card
Doing it that way yes I can achieve the desired result.
I have a media server that I used to be able to acces as follows
Es file explorer > media server
Copy file from server to sd card
Now I cant do it that way.
So I add the additional step and it works.
The other issue is quikpix or any 3rd party viewer I used to be able to delete pictures straight out of quikpix now it says I can only delete from the pre installed view (sviewer)
I hope that makes sense

Probably a permissions error. Kitkat restricted third party app access to the SD card to make the OS more secure. Which broke a lot of apps. But I'm just guessing because you didn't provide any details that would enable us to troubleshoot it properly. Lots of errors.. uh huh. But what were those errors? What firmware version? How is the SD card formatted? What app are you using when the errors occur?
It's like saying your car is having problems.. but not giving any idea of what that really means. Did you have trouble starting your car? Won't go faster than 70 km/h.. stall.. weak brakes.. oil pressure light on? And for that matter, what model of car are we talking about? Knowing what specific SD card errors you had is rather essential information and it's odd that you wouldn't give us those details.
I don't think you did a forum search or you would have literally tripped over all the SD card problem threads and mentioned that. Most of the recent threads talk about the problems Kitkat introduced and it isn't hard to find posts in many of them describing how to fix the issue.
