Without the Storage menu, it is now impossible to directly format any new SD card to work with the Ultratablet, because as we all know Remix seems to have trouble recognizing any new SDXC card inserted into it until you let it format the card. Without the Storage menu, the option to format an SD card is missing (or hidden, who knows). For now the only workaround is to insert your new (or recently formatted) card into a PC and formatting it as NTFS. But that is not ideal. Please consider adding the old Storage menu again.
A very stripped version of the Storage menu is available in the File Manager app under Settings.

Yes, but unfortunately it doesn't help with the problem of unrecognized SD cards. In the old menu you could format an unrecognized—"damaged" according to Remix—card so that it would work properly, but in this new menu it simply presents no format option or even seems to be aware that there is a card present.

Hello there
Ever since I changed the storage of my emails to the storage card, I have the problem that the device creates a folder called "Storage Card" when I perform a soft reset. The actual storage card is then mounted as "Storage Card 2". This has the effect that not only my email bodies are not saved to the storage card, but also that software installed on the card can't be run. I have to start Resco Explorer, remove the storage card, delete the "Storage Card" folder and insert the storage card.
It seems that the storage card driver isn't loaded until later, when the system already created \Storage Card\Messaging\... folder structure.
Is there any way to have the sd card driver load earlier, or any other solution? thx.
No solution?
I have had the same problem. I have only seem the problem from time to time, havent figured out what triggered it..
Try not to set the PIE temp. file to storage card and email attachment to storage card. Because during reboot the system can't see the SD yet, so it will create a storage card from existing rom, and this will cause your subsequently detected SD to be mounted as storage card2.

Yes, I realize that this is the problem. I'm therefore looking for a solution to either prevent Outlook/ActiveSync from creating those folders, or else tell the system to mount the storage card a bit earlier...
also
setting all the temp/cache dirs for built-in MS Win apps (like Word and PIE) on a storage card is a bad idea, from my experience, as the Universal unmounts the SD cards on power down. this causes many of the built-in Win apps to crash when powered back on, with PIE bringing down your entire phone if it can't find the cache dirs. I don't know about you, but I like my Universal to behave more like a stable phone, and not a Win PC. Installing code on the card also seems to be a bad idea, as this problem also causes apps to crash. setting cache and other volatile information to the storage card for 3rd party apps seems to be ok so far. Maybe because they're not privelaged to being integrated with the OS like built-in Win apps.

Hi there... I have had your same prob... I got rid of it simply disabling the "messages" today plug in, and it worked...
have fun
I burned an image of touch nooter on a kingston 4gb micro sdcard using Win32image. I right clicked the drive of the card on Win7 and did a full and quick format to erase the image. When I wiped out the touchnooter image from the card, it gave me a space of only 76mb and not the whole 4gb default space.
Any suggestions oh how to get the full 4gb storage back?
Start - Run - diskmgmt.msc
Find your SD card there (Removable G: for example)
You will see it has 2 or more partitions.
Delete all partitions and then create new Simple volume from one big unallocated space you got and format it to FAT32.
Make sure you are deleting partitions of your SD card or you can kill all your data and system.

I went to disk management but I could only see one partition for the card.
You can use an android device to format the card back to normal. If the nook touch is the only android device you have do this.
Put the sd card in the nook touch
tap the n button on bottom
tap 'settings'
tap 'Device Info'
tap 'SD Card'
tap 'Unmount SD Card', if it is available
tap 'Format SD Card' when it is available
after it does it make sure unmount SD card is not highlighted then you can pull the SD card back out.
You can use SDFormatter for windows to fix your SD card and get the total space visible again.
Cheers

This method worked. Great guideline. Thanks.
I tried SDFormatter too but no go.
I had the same problem after rooting but I solved it by using SDFormatter in Windows (version: SDFormatterv3.0.zip ).
Formar the sd card with the nook
So I tried formatted my 64GB card (with FAT) directly from the mobile (in settings > storage > unmounts) and then I did a file system change using TWRP to ext4... then I couldn't see my external SD Card anymore...
i´m sure the rom/kernel support this format as the internal storage is formatted with ext4, so I guess there´s something I´ve done wrong... can anyone tell me what?
(by the way its not a problem with the card itself - I just tried re-formatting to Fat and it appeared again)...
Maybe format it using your pc and a program. I don't think windows has ext4 option by default.
thanks for your suggestion but as far as PCs go I only have my office laptop which is restricted in terms of installing apps so that option isn't possible for me...
Perhaps at a friend. Or maybe there are some android apps to do it.
Hi, I have opted to use my sd card as "portable storage" rather than adopting it as "internal storage"
But it doesn't work as expected. Such as
1. Apps which previously allow data to be stored on sd card ( such as stock camera ), now simply
stores it in phone memory even though in the app, settings point to sd card.
2. All apps cannot be moved to sd card. Previously under lollipop, some apps can.
Cant find any options to do so under settings->storage & usb OR settings->apps. Is it still possible.?
If yes, what do I need to do?
Thanks
rooting will help ....!!! but dont know how to root.... ??? normal step of rooting not working.....
found this in lenovo forum:
In Marshmallow, you need to format you SD card as internal storage in order to move apps and that to all apps are not movable.
To make changes you can go to : Settings -> Storage -> Click on "SD Card" -> More -> Format as internal
Note : Make sure to take data backup before formatting your SD card, as all data from SD card will get erased when formatting.

Out of scope.
He's asking how to use sd card as 'portable storage' and not 'internal storage'.
I did the same for the camera, and photos/videos are stored in sd card, please check again.
In these 6.0 version for k3, no option in settings to move apps, but maybe will arrive later..
for some apps, you can move data from internal to sd card (like sygic).
Marshmallow another screwed fcuk, format as 'internal storage' r only options for moving apps/games to sd card.
Any app that I try to have search on either local storage or SD card storage for a file, results in a blank screen with the "Recent" view by default. If I expand the lefthand menu, I get options for my Drive account, Audio, Recent, etc...but no SD card and no internal storage. Is there a known way to force my phone to "redetect" storage? Or a possible alternative to re-flashing? I just moved over to 935T.

You can try to un-mount the SD card, then remount it. If your system does not see it at all, it might not be inserted correctly.

I have since figured out some genius that's part of the team who developed Package Disabler Pro decided that the external storage apk was "bloatware". Enabling the apk again instantly restored visibly. EZ Package Disabler is a better alternative, IMO.
That's good to know! I just installed pro yesterday. I haven't had time to use it, but now I don't have to! Thanks for your input! I'll go back to EZ!
