SD card mounted only after unlock in Android Pie? - Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 Questions & Answers

Hi,
another strange behavior I noticed with Pie: after a restart, it seems the SD is mounted only when the phone is unlocked for the first time.
When I unlock the phone after a restart, I see the card symbol flashing for a moment in the status bar.
After every restart, I noticed the call ringtone was mysteriously reverted to basic sound. My custom ringtones are in the SD card, so the card seems to be inaccessible to the system until I unlock the phone. Copying the custom ringtones to internal memory resolves the issue, but I am concerned that inaccessible SD at startup may have other detrimental effects, depending on what is actually stored on the card.
Did you notice that, as well?
Bye,

It's for security reasons. Having 64gb storage anyone can put a ringtone in it.

Storage Card / Storage Card 2 Problem

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.

[Q] insufficient permission/SD card

how come the sd card is unable to function when plugged onto the comp?? is there a way to make this work?
and how come when i tried moving things from my sd card onto the phone memory, it says 'insufficient permission?!"
my custom background image for go sms always gets messed up and removed once i sync my phone onto my computer. id have to manually set up the background everytime. i figured if i move these background images to the phone from the sd card, then i wouldnt have to repeat this over and over again...
any ideas??
little information about your setup could prove useful in troubleshooting.

Marshmallow and SD

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.

Randomly lose access to SD card even though settings/storage says its mounted?

Im having a weird issue on stock where I will just randomly lose access to my SD card even though it says its mounted in settings. When I use a file explorer it says the card is blank when I navigate there. I have a few apps that use the SD card for storage such as my camera and I dont know its not working til I try to use of of the apps which causes it to freeze up.
Rebooting the phone solves the issue until it decided to do the same thing again. Does this with two different SD cards also

unable to move apps to sd card

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
MbatauVille:
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
