My sister has a sg2 I don't have one so I really know nothing about it. But it says she has 10gb internal and no space is left on her sdcard. How do you move your music and pictures to the internal storage.
Thanks.

You can move files between internal and external sd card on-device by using an app, such as ES File Explorer, or stock My Data app.
Just go to "external_sd", select the files you want to move, then select "cut".
Then go back to home (what is internal sd card) and where you want to have the files, and then select "paste".
Or you can move the files off-device by connecting the phone to your PC, then move the files with the file explorer (e.g. Windows Explorer) from the one sd card to the other.

I put a 32GB microSD card in and although i can browse the files using es file explorer they do not show up in either the music player or the gallery app. I even installed playerpro and it still did not see the sd card. if i copy some of them to the internal storage they work fine but internal storage is not large enough.
The only thing I could suggest is to make sure your media card is formatted as FAT. Also, you can try separating them in subdirectories and see if that improves the reading (assuming they're all in one directory).
they are all in separate folders and the card is fat32 as that is required over 4gb
I fixed it. I backed up the card to a hd using a computer (by the way I go a consistent 10MB/s mounted as a drive) then I formatted it using the phones formatter and copied all of the music back and presto it worked.

i saw this post in the tmo forums..lol
Anyone know how to *automatically* move files from one place to another on the phone?
For example, I can get my camera to save files to the internal SD but not external.
But I have a sweet 64gb SD card, so I'd like to have an app or something that would automatically move the files over.
Any ideas?
And yes, I know I could do it manually using a file explorer but I want a "set and forget" solution.
I'm not sure about all the files you want on ext storage but for photos this is what I did. First im using camera zoom fx for my camera app. It let me create my own folder on my sd card and now all my photos go there. Check the apps you use that save files to your phone if you can edit the save path.

Ok so I have downloaded a few files onto my phone. However, when I go to access them from my laptop via mass storage they do not appear. I was wondering if this is because the phone is automatically saving stuff to the internal storage or if it is because I have multiple SD partitions from multiple other Android phones.
If it is because the files are being saved to internal storage how can I change that to have them automatically saved to my SD? If it is an issue with multiple SD partitions should I just wipe my card and repartition specifically for this phone?
Thank you in advance!
Well if you notice most of the legacy and current apps when they try to store something to anywhere else other than the internal memory it would always look for the /sdcard/ location which in our case is the internal memory.
Our micro sdcard is now mounted in /sdcard/ext_sd/ which makes it a chore for us to keep tabs on what we want stored there because we have to move it manually.

When I browse my files using ES File explorer I see 2 folders. One is labeled SDCard and one is labeled SDCard2. Is the first one my internal memory? If so, is there any way to automate the transfer of files from the first folder to the second one so that I can see them via mass storage? If not then I may have to write a script to do such a thing. Because that is annoying as hell.

Hello,
I did bought orginal Samsung mincro SD card 32gb class 10. I did put inside to the phone and first what i did after phone did show me space 29gb i did format it from phone options in settings of storage. After format i did reboot my phone just in case. Now i did plug in phone to my pc and all do work fine. My pc see Internal and external storage on my phone. After when i did copy files to my external memory of my phone and do unplug micro usb i cant see my external sd card on my phone. In apps like winamp/RockPlayer/BSPlayer/ES File Explorer...all what i can see is only sdcrad which is internal memory. I cant see external memory at all.
Best thing is when i do put movie anywhere on external sd card by usb/pc and run build in samsung app "Video Player" its see video form external sd! I dont know whats going on and i did have S2/Dell Streak/Note and never had problem like this before.
Any help would be nice.

Thank you for link but i dont need data transfer. My problem si why i cant see external sd card in any of apps. When i do swich on winamp there is music from external sd card, when i do swich on build in video player i do see videos form external sd card but there is no way i can explore external sd card using any of explore apps or any other app where you can search files by folders. There is no Root folder or mnt.
Oki small update. I just did give a go to one more app "Root browser lite" and i can see all folders and sys files. Looks like problem is with moust of apps which can't handle way of G3 works with external sd card. I'm right?

Yes you're right. The s3 and other devices that have like 16/32 GB internal memory uses part of it for system and the rest is mounted as "sdcard"when infact it's internal memory. In addition to this sdcard there's the real sdcard which is mounted as external-sdcard. Many apps are programmed to look for only sdcard and not ext-sdcard. For such programs creating a symlink using the above tool that I posted will help it "see" contents/folders of the ext-sdcard.
As you mentioned some programs can and some can't browse/see ext-sdcard - if it's absolutely necessary, creating a symlink is the only option I can think of.
Hi there, when connecting mini with the official ics to pc, only external sd shows up. With no pc connected, it seems the external sd is not mounted.
How could I copy files between internal and external sd cards? Thanks!
Anyone can help?
You can't copy your internal files to pc, cause there is in internal memory just files install..(correct me if i wrong)..

The only way to see the system files is with a root and "root explorer" and you will see them in the phone, the copy the archive from the system to your SD card and the conecto to pc to see the file, the pc cannot access the files directly only modify(like flashtool) the system
The camera always store photos in the internal sd card. Is there a way to copy the photos to pc or the external sd without root?
droid explorer lets you see and manage all contents of your phone. It's normal that when connected you can only see the "external" memory, it is not normal that the camera app saves pictures to internal memory (you sure about this?) have you tried looking in folders like dcim or 100andro on sd card?

What? That can't be because if you make a 1 min video recording puff say goodbye to your 150mb of storage, I'm sure you are confused, all the photos and video are in the mini sd in the folder dcmi then 100android something like that, you will never find the option of where to save photos because they are by default stored in the mini sd
