I just upgraded from AT&T Samsung galaxy s6 to xfinity/comcast mobile Samsung galaxy s8. On s6, there was no external sd, so I had 128 gb phone, with Music folder on internal sd, and used Mortplayer for Music. Now a week ago, upgraded to S8 on xfinity mobile. Bought Samsung Evo 64 miscro sd card, formatted it on phone, and copied music files by connecting phone to my pc and copying files directly on external sd.
The Mortplayer does not recognize my external sd. It only shows /storage/emulated/0 (internal sd) but not /storage/xxxx-yyyy where my external sd card is based on file manager. By the way file manager can see the music folder on external sd, and if I click on any mp3, it gives option to play with several music players. I can play them with other players but not Mortplayer. Mortplayer will open up but does not play.
My wife has LG X power also with Android 7 from xfinity, and the exact same process on her phone did allow Mortplayer to see external sd on her phone and play files from there. So I think this seems to be Samsung galaxy s8 issue with vintage apps like mortplayer which have not be updated for Nougat.
I do not want to use adaptable storage. Also, transferring mortplayer to external sd did not work. Even after successfully transferring the app to external sd, it does not give option for Music on external sd.
It appears to be write permission for Mortplayer on external sd. I saw some posts for S7, that said if you modified platform.xml file and add permissions for media rw for write external sd, it works for s7. But the platform.xml file for s8 specifically says not to modify that setting.
I will appreciate any help. After using mortplayer for many many years since samsung galaxy s2, I do not feel like changing music player.
Thanks,
BJ

Hello, I recently flashed a WM5 ROM on my Hermes and proceeded to copy a bunch of mp3 songs from my computer to my SD card. However it seems as though the vast majority of the mp3 files cannot be played by any media player (tried with WMP and tcmpcp) - they say the data is invalid. Other mp3 files do play but some take really long to buffer and play on WMP.
The files work fine on my computer, I've tried reformatting the SD card to no effect, tried recopying, softresetting, taking out and reinserting SD card. For some reason these files on the SD card itself cannot be copied, moved or deleted via the file explorer or total commander on the phone. Note that opening the SD card on the computer and playing the files there works fine.
Any ideas?
i have a typical issue in my Yureka.
Google play music doesn't detect music/Mp3 files automatically from External Storage i.e., SD Card. Recently I downloaded few Mp3 songs using UC browser and these are stored in a folder named "UC downloads" in the Internal Storage and Google play detects the music files from UC downloads folder and not from SD Card.
Pls note, i have many mp3 songs already stored in SD card, but Google play music doesn't show the music files from SD Card.
Now my question is, why the Google play music doesn't detect the music files which are stored in External Storage i.e., SD Card?
And also, i have nearly 200 images & videos stored in SD Card, but Gallery doesn't detect these images & videos which are in SD Card..
Feeling
Please help
Factory reset ur phone
Peeps
Now that I have marshmallow installed, my custom zooper widget that showed my free external storage has now lost this functionality.
Been trying to find the path again but I can no longer find it.
Does anyone know what the default path is. My card has not been setup as internal storage.
Cheers.

Root/storage...Should be two or three folders there...the one with a set of numbers (mine is hyphenated set of 6 digits)

Baffled by the SD card as internal storage. Also MTP, PTP issues
I was using AppMgrIII on Lollipop and all was reasonably well. My Moto X Pure showed the internal and SD card when I connected to my Windows 10. When I converted to OTA Marshmallow, my AppMgr III no long worked. I sent the logfile to the developer and he responded that my SD card had to be reformatted as internal storage. After 6 versions of Android (I started with an HTC Hero) I never knew of this option. OK. I converted and then had to load all the apps into the SD card/internal storage. But now I have no idea how to find the SD card? I have searched XDA for answers, but nothing is clear. And how do I add pictures to my Gallery? Are pictures on DCIM in the main memory or SD/internal card. Or does it depend where the Gallery App is located? What if I want to load an MP4 movie? I am not rooted.
Secondly, since Marshmallow, when I connect my Moto to Windows, even though I have Developer Options on MTP, it comes up as a Portable Media Player and I can't see any file structure. I have to go into to Developer Options, then click PTP, then click MTP to see Internal Files (no SD card). Anybody have any idea why? Windows 10 or Android 6 issue?

Android 6 "issue"...which is actually an enhancement per them !
Unfortunately, I discovered that Dropsync has problems with Marshmallow. There is a beta that should work, although I installed it but it doesn't work either. The workaround - to sync to the dedicated "Dropsync folder" on SD card works. Secondly, Act1 video player doesn't play files on the external SD card. Just so you know before upgrading, it's a real hassle with Android not having a stable solution how to handle external SD card.
Hi there,
I recently inherited my mum's Galaxy S7 Edge, and I have an SD card filled with music and photos. For some reason, I'm not able to move files to my SD card. I can access files from SD card fine, like my music player picks it up, and the photos show up, but when I go into file manager to try and move music from the phone's internal storage to my SD card, it says that it's failed. I've tried copying instead of moving but the same thing happens.
Is this a feature of the S7 Edge that I just have to get used to? Or is something else wrong?
Thanks
Is the card write protected? There could be a switch there.
