After recent April update, I am unable to copy any files from internal storage to SD card. I tried numerous file managers but none work. Any solution. Thanks in advance!

I don't see a problem on my phone which is also on the latest stock rom. Just copied a file from DCIM to the sdcard without any issues.
No issue on my phone for transfer file from internal to SD card. The April update seems to solved the issue with file transfer.

I'm having this major issue with all the 2.3 ROMs no matter what. Some apps just refuse to install when before there was no issue. It's exactly as here. http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...on-usb-storage-or-sd-card-problem-on-android/
I tried searching for the smdl2tmp1.asec file but couldn't find it either on the internal or external sd cards. Plus I am unable to mount the internal card on windows to search for the file.
I deleted /system/etc/init.d/11dalviklocation but that just made it worse. Now all my widgets died. I see a /HWUserData under storage settings now which wasn't there in 2.2 ROMS and I never had this issue in 2.2 ROMs.
Also, at bootup, I always see a notification in the statusbar. SD card safe to remove. And under the /HWUserData storage, I see mount the sd card. It seems the system refuses to mount the sd card or the /HWUserdata additional storage which appears under storage settings.
The only way I can install the hard to install apps is by unmounting my external sd card then installing the app which i guess forces the app to install on the internal sd card.
I installed this mod, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112857&highlight=partition Geno's Custom you data partition's size. Could this be contributing to the problem? Is there a way to search for the file smdl2tmp1.asec file using recovery and deleting it? This issue cropped up after installing an Oxygen ROM and from then on any 2.3 rom I installed has this issue. It's bugging the hell out of me, I'm currently running CM7 and its perfect except for this issue. Help anyone?
First: try to fix permissions from recovery.
Does it mount your SD as SD or your internal sd??? Hwuserdata should correspond to your internal sd. If they are swapped, use root explorer, find fstab file and swap them again

I tried fix permissions in cwm 4.0.1.5 latest. Didn't work. What's the meaning of swapped? "find fstab file and swap them again". How do I do that? Where is the fstab file? closest i found is the vold.fstab file. that it?
I see this in the vold.fstab file.
dev_mount emmc /HWUserData 14/devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc0
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto/devices/platform/msm_sdcc.4/mmc_host/mmc2
That make any sense? Thanks for the reply! This thing is driving me nuts!
It seems that your sd card is damaged.
I suggest before mess with system stuff, to backup all sdcard content on your pc and format your sdcard. Then insert it back to device and try to see if the problems solved.

I did that before actually. formatted my sd card. Could it be a file on the external sd thats causing it? Since I copied back everything on the sd card after formatting it.
For this reason I said to put it on before recopy anything. Maybe some of android system files/folders on sdcard are damaged.
Damn! It was the SD card after all! What a headache! I copied everything except all the hidden files on the sd card which began with (.) Now everything works fine! Can't believe it. Such a simple thing and so much problems it caused.
So can you please tell me what you exactly did. Cause i don't understand but i have the same problem too. I have no root and i have froyo 2.2.1
EDIT: i made it by connecting to the pc and deleting a file...
My ext sd card was working fine in the beginning but now I'm running into a weird problem. My card is 64gb class 10. I'm rooted and have write permissions through nexapp. Now everytime I download something to the external sd card it shows up there but after a reboot the folders / files disappear. When i download a mp3 I can't read it and it disappear after a reboot as well. I can play the existing files just fine though

Hello. I just found out that export apps to SD card is not working or not as I was expecting. After exporting many apps, I just figured out that on SD card I have almost nothing. For example, I exported hearthstone which has 2gb and even though the apps manager says it is on External storage, the SD card has the same size as before. When I explored the SD card, I found that there are no files in Android folder. Is there something that I'm missing?
Nobody else encountered this problem?

I formated the sdcard but I still have the same problem. I will try with another sd card and then I'll take the phone to service.

Im having problems with the camera and file explorer apps not being able to write to the SD, havent found the solution yet.
Since MM upgrade I am unable to move or delete files using ES file explorer. Is anyone else experiencing Sd card issues?
Any known fixes?
Yes I'm experiencing the samething. I can't even delete or add files to SD card when I connect to my pc either

I can still do stuff through the computer, it is ES File Explorer specifically that is giving me issues, and I pretty much had to reset all my programs that use the SD card to the new name for the SD card that marshmallow seems to have changed it to...
I am unable to transfer files from my phone memory to my sd card.
I am also unable to transfer files from my pc to sd card in the phone. I have no issue transferring files from pc to phone memory.
I can view and open files on the sd card and the phone is able to play music and movies stored on the sd card.
Can anyone help me fix this issue?
Thanks!
I don't have such problem at all.
Try different file browsers like ES File Explorer and Astro.
If those do not work, try and factory reset your phone and ask for a replacement if the problem still persists after that.

Does the phone read the sd card? Do you have anything on it to access? If not I would suggest formatting the sd card.

The phone reads all the files on the sd card. I get an error that says Access denied when i copy a file from the phone memory to any folder on the SD card...however I get no error when I copy the files to the root SD card. It's weird...not sure whats going on.
You need to use the stock file manager to copy to the sd card or from the sd to internal as this is a "security feature" since Android lollipop. If you wish to use any other file explorer you MUST be rooted...

I use ES File Explorer and it works - and I won't root until ZTE posts full factory roms for the US version.
I still think there is some issue with the sd card that can be solved by formatting it - if the phone won't move files to it and the pc recognizes the phone but not the sd card how did you get files on it in the first place?

Not true. I just used Solid Explorer to copy files from internal memory to the SD card. There was an extra procedure of selecting the sd card in what looks like the stock storage selection menu thing (that also has Drive, Downloads etc) which was apparently necessary for Solid Explorer to get the necessary permission. Maybe it doesn't work with old file explorer apps that haven't implemented this solution, but it definitely works with Solid Explorer without root.
