Hi folks,
I've been trying to setup my SD card as internal storage but it doesn't work. Setting it up as external storage is not a problem but as soon as I click on "Format as internal" in the Storage settings and try to move the content to the SD card ("Migrate data") I get an error message saying "Couldn't move content. Try moving content again".
It does seem to copy data to the SD card though because it takes up space after the process but my internal storage stays the same. I tried another SD card but the problem is still there. I'm at a complete loss and would appreciate every help..
what G6 variant H870, H872, US997? ROM stock or custom?
It's the H870 Version and I'm on a custom ROM (Pixel Experience). Also it's Android 9 if that matters

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.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.
I'm on Android 7.1.1 resurrection remix, and I often get the message that my storage space is insufficient. I checked the storage info and it says that for example my Spotify is using 2gb, while the Spotify app says it's saving onto the SD card.
I installed link2sd and checked the storage info, and it shows my internal data, SD card and external SD card. I think the problem here is that the SD card is the same as my internal data, and apps are saving to this partition (see screenshot).
Is there any way I can fix this? For example by removing the "wrong" SD card partition? Right now this is causing a lot of issues, since I only have ~14gb to use instead of the ~46gb I'd normally be able to use.
Thanks in advance!

Hello Friends..
i own a Lenovo K4 Note 16 Gb.. due to short storage i Formatted my 64 Gb Stornium Card as Intrenal Storage few days ago. Fast Forward till today, My phone suddenly crashed today. it Restarts.. As it starts back, a notification displays saying "SD CARD MISSING - Reinsert this device" .. i removed the SD Card & reinsert it, but It taking quite long time to restart & not showing any Storage Capacity of SD Card.. In Storage&USB section(in Phone) it says "Checking"..
My Concerned issues are 2 here..
1. Full Recovery of Data from Encrypted SD Card(Adopted SD Card)..
2. Backup of WhatsApp, Contact, SMS, Backup, as while backing up Via (already installed) backup taking apps, it says "No Internal Storage Found" as it is considering SD Card the main Storage.
NOTE:= i m Recieving WhatsApp messages (Cant Download Media) , Can Create & Delate Contacts, but cant take backup.. So i thought that there shld be a way to get my precious BackUps & Data..
Please Guide. Awaiting for your kind Response..
Thanks Rajat
@glassyrajat: I saw this rather late, so I apologize. I don't really get notifications of people mentioning me by name.
You used the adoptive storage feature of Android to combine your internal storage and MicroSD card into one, somewhat like using a striped RAID array in a PC. When you do that, you cannot remove the MicroSD card or else you get errors. The message you are seeing regarding "checking" is because Android has to verify that the MicroSD card you inserted is the one that you made part of the storage. If the card isn't the same or is corrupted, Android will tell you to replace the card.
The best solution I have for you is to be patient. Android has to complete that check, but once it does and assuming no damage to the MicroSD card you should be able to see all your files. If for some reason you cannot, your only option is to format the MicroSD and lose everything on it. This drawback to adoptable storage is why I don't use it or recommend it.
Hi guys, I've a problem when I try to set sd card as favorite storage, and also when I try to move files from internal storage to sd card (however, I can move files from sd card to internal storage). The following message appears to me (English translation is: "The phone has been encrypted. Make sure that the new storage position is safe before alternating positions"). Any solutions? Thanks
I have tried multiple custom roms, but, whenever I try to step up my sd card as internal storage, I get an error message saying " not enough" storage. I have tried both an old 128g card, as well as a new 128g card. It is the same result, no matter the card or rom I try. Any suggestions or Ideas are greatly appreciated.
I'm offered the choice between 'internal' and 'portable' in LineageOS when I insert a SD that it hasn't previously set up. I've never chosen 'internal' as it isn't as useful to me as being able to pull the SD and quickly read/write to it. Are you not getting that choice?
