Hi,
I think a few things have changed in Kitkat and my S5 cannot lock files on SD card.
i tried a few apps but it did not work. The private mode also shifts all files to phone memory.
is there any app where i can put files on SD card and lock them ?
thanks

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 which I recently upgraded to the official Lollipop 5.0.1 update. I also added a new Samsung 64 GB (Class 10) Micro SD Card. When I use the Micro SD Card in a card reader in Windows 8, I can easily add / delete files without any problems. When I use the Micro SD Card in the Samsung Galaxy S4, it works fine for a while, then suddenly files and folder automatically disappear or files become corrupt; photos clicked with the camera disappear instantly. I am not sure if the problem lies with the Micro SD Card, the phone, the OS or some app.
Please could someone help!
I would suggest to format the card in your phone (if not already done). And then try it again.

I found that you cannot even use the sd card as storage for apps with the 5.0.1 rom this is a issue for me as far as the sd card corrupting files im not sure i am using a 16 gig and i had to set everything manually to save to sd card or move it over myself such as the camera and downloads, but for apps not a chance

This is also the case on KitKat.

CM12 has the Move apps to sd feature.
Since upgrading to lollipop I notice my apps automatically move from being stored on the SD card to the phone all by itself. Has anyone else experience this problem and/or know how to fix it?
Thanks!
With some apps you can long press them in application manager and choose Move to SD
Hello, I'm new to the Note 4 and new to a phone with an SD card slot in general. I've found that I'm unable to move files from internal storage to the SD card. Is there a way to do this without rooting? I'm on a Verizon model on lollipop. If there is no way to do this without rooting, what is the advantage to having an SD card slot if the only thing I can put on it is pictures?
It should be fixed in Lollipop. It works for me.
Look for "com.speedsoftware.explorer" in Play Store and try again, but the default file manager should do just fine.
Hi,
I've updated my G900F S5 to 6.0.1. So far few issues:
- my SD card is not adopted (as internal storage). I've moved some of my apps to SD and my question is, is there a way to see all apps moved to SD as it was possible on Lollipop? Also I would like to see all apps available to move to SD without the need to enter each one under Applications option.
- I'm unable to format SD card as Internal storage
- issue is with SmartLock. I've enabled it for my Gear S. Before update it worked like a charm but now sometimes it requires me to unlock it with my fingerprint. Bluetooth is active and my watch is connected all the time (I stayed in range).
- slow lock when I press power button. It takes around few seconds to hear click from lock. Can lock animation be changed?
- all "heavy" operations on SD card (MKV file copy, move) are causing my phone to soft reboot. Samsung logo is shown on black background and SD card notification is shown. I tried reformating SD. Reboot is also caused while updating bigger applications which are moved to SD.
After all I think I should change topic title .
Thank you.
Well i think my SD Card is acting strangely since i did the new marshmallow update
When i was still running with 5.1.1 Lollipop i was able to move all apps to sd card with no problems at all,
i did a factory reset to get rid of the root and then updated to marshmallow 6.0.1 and at first i could move apps to sd card normally like i used to do with the lollipop and everything was fine until i restarted the phone, when the phone restarted all apps that were on sd card were greyed out with a small sd card icon bellow each one and when i tap on it it says app not probably installed i knew this was a common problem and leaving the phone for a few minutes would restore it but i left my phone unused for 3 hours and apps remained greyed out so i deleted them and redownloaded them again for play store but this time when i tried to move them it would say not enough space on sd card although there is 6 gbs of free space i thought maybe some leftovers from those apps still remained so i formatted my sd card 2 time once with the android and another time from my laptop ...nothing changed still cant move apps to sd card ...and on plus on that when i connect my phone to my laptop it only reads the internal storage it doesnt show the sd card as if it isnt there
any suggestions?? Any help would be appreciated and sorry for my bad English

This has been effected by the new security feature on Android 6.0.1 firmware so as not to alter app system files. You should also check your SD file system (format) for compatibility. Also if your are running a custom kernel, Android security patch prohibits non-trusted apps from making changes to to execute as system files outside the inbuilt storage
