Device slow incerdibly down when memory card is full

Hi, if I really fullfill my storage card (4GB SDHC), system shows it is 3,6GB and used is 3,6GB, then device is incredibly slow. It is unusable.
I have Rafyvitto_Acer_s200_LEO_23519_BlacK_NeO_v.3.0 firmware.
Do you have same experience or is problem only in my device or card?
Thanks Kenia

I had same problem when I used rafvitto rom. I did following and problem gone,
1. backup all SD card into pc
2. format SD card with card reader.
3. setting->system->encryption-> uncheck encrypt files (maybe don't need)
4. put sd card back to S200, check the card work without delay.
5. copy files to SD card. (with card reader or not)
6. check sd card if work normally.

I deleted about 100MB and everything is OK. Only want to know, if it is hw or sw problem. I guess that system creates something like content index on memory card and if there is not enough free space, system cycles. But as i wrote, it is only my supposition.

Changing SD card in Marshmallow?

So, Marshmallow for Pure should be right around the corner, and it's nice to be able to use SD card as internal memory. My question is, when I need to upgrade the SD card (say, from a 32GB to 128GB in the future), what is the process? The thing is I have a 32GB card lying around, and I don't need a storage at the moment, so I plan to just start using that for now. But then later, may need to upgrade it to a larger/faster card.

Expandable Storage
Android Marshmallow enables your SD card to fully extend device internal storage rather than just being used for media files.
After inserting a new SD card to your phone, you will see a notification to set it up. You can choose to use your new SD card as a portable storage or as internal storage:
Portable storage: use your SD card to store your pictures, videos, audio and other media files. You can remove the SD card at any time and transfer it to other device.
Internal storage: in addition to media, you can store downloaded apps and games, all their media and data. The SD card acts as an extension of the internal storage of your phone.
If you have an SD card inserted in your phone when you upgrade it to Android Marshmallow, the card will be defaulted to portable storage. Any existing application stored in your SD card before the upgrade will run as expected (in portable storage). In order to move any new application to the SD card, you have to adopt it as internal storage first. To set your SD card as internal storage:
Back up and preserve any data you have on the card, as formatting for internal storage will erase it.
Swipe the status bar down with two fingers and tap the gear icon at the top right corner of your screen.
Once in the Settings menu, scroll down and tap Storage & USB, then select your portable SD card from the list.
Tap the menu icon (3 vertical dots) at the top right corner of the SD card screen and select Settings.
Select Format as internal and follow the steps in the tutorial.
Important: when the SD card is adopted as internal storage, it is formatted and encrypted to protect your information. It cannot be removed and transferred to other device. If you want to use the SD card as portable storage or in another device after adopted as internal storage, then you need to format it. When doing so, please remember that formatting erases all the data stored in your SD card.

thanks, I have read that but doesn't seem to answer my question... I suppose someone could write an app to do it... migrating from one SD card to another...

Dump the smaller card's data on to a pc, then transfer that to the larger card. But if you choose to designate it as internal storage I think you'd have to dump it into the cloud first.

My assumption is that since this is a formatting to internal storage extension, then you will later (when ready to upgrade to the larger storage card) dump the current data either into a cloud, or usb into a desktop by copying/moving the files (app, media, system etc) onto the desktop into a new folder with just those files, (maybe name it moto x files) then copy/move them from the desktop folder onto the device with the new larger memory card via usb after it's been formatted as the new internal extended memory.

If we change the SD card to internal storage will it mean that sdcard read/write operations will be slower??

So, if adopting the SD card as internal encrypts the card what happens if you try to download music to it from a streaming service like Rhapsody? Will it successfully download? Will it successfully play back in the Rhapsody app on the phone? I have the feeling Rhapsody support won't even have a clue what I am asking. ?

I believe as long as it is in the phone it will work as normal. If it is removed from the phone you won't be able to read it.

problems with using sdcard as "portable storage" under marshmallow.

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.

migrating to new SD card with adoptable storage enabled

Hello,
Just wondering if anybody has any knowledge on how to install a new SD card when you already have adoptable storage enabled. I'm assuming I could power down the phone and copy everything over, but my new SD card is 200gb vs 128gb installed. I'm worried the partition table wouldn't be set properly.
Any advice would be great!
Thanks,
Jaime

I haven't tried but perhaps unmounting the SD card would help?

The data stored on your card must be moved back to the internal storage in order to avoid breaking your apps. You can do that from the internal storage menu. If you can't fit everything, you'll have to delete things until you're under the limit. At that point, you can go back into the SD card storage menu and format it as "portable", meaning it will work in other devices. If there's any data still on it, you will lose it. Then put in the new card and set it up for "adoptable" as the previous card was.

SD card as Internal

Hi Guys,
My dad receive hundrets of picture in whatsapp everyday, making his internal memory go to full on a weekly basis.
My question is: when formatting it as an internal memory, will those pics & videos go to the SD card after formatting it ?
Can someone with an SD card as internal memory configuration confirm me that?

SD card will become internal memory, one and the same. So essentially no more sd card. However, if you don't treat sd card as internal memory then you can tell the camera and other apps to save their files on the sd card and therefore have control what goes where.
