I cant seem to get files from external sd card within some programs.Like psx4droid or FPse.When it comes to select bios,it shows me a file browser.There is one folder "sdcard" but its the internal sd card and i cant find the directory for the external sd card.
yeah,yeah,10 gb are a lot of but i want to use my sdcard too
Samsung have moved the location where it's mounted to and some apps which are hard coded can't find it.
If you can go up a directory from sdcard to mnt you will then find extSdCard containing your ROMs.
yeah,my bad.i found it!
thank you very much

I have searched and I have not been able to find my answer. I have looked in the settings and I have changed the settings.
But it doesn't matter how I set it up it always install the files onto the internal memory .
I have a Micro SD card that I would like to install most of the programs
Is there a way to install the programs onto the external Micro SD card or a move them there after you download them ?
I remember reading a thread or two about moving apps to the SD card ... have you tried searching on "move apps to SD card"?
Heh! The grass is always greener on the other side isn't it?
The easiest solution to your problem would be for you to install CyanogenMod. It likes to install everything on the external SD card--so much so that people resort to hacking /system/etc/vold.fstab to get it to use the internal SD card instead.
You might care to look at that file on your ROM (I'm assuming its VEGAn-5.1.1 or one of the other Froyo-based ROMs). The vold program uses that file to determine where disks should be mounted. You can switch only the device paths in that file to get vold to mount it the way you want it--external SD card as /sdcard and the internal SD card as /sdcard2.
If you just want to manually move files from place to place, use Root Explorer.
My phone can acess and categorize the files from my SD card no problem. But no matter what file explorer app I cannot seem to pull up my sd card.
I am using CM7 if that changes anything.
EDIT: The file viewer shows me the SD card but what is says is my SD shows the contents on my internal card not my external one.
Your looking at the directory for the built in SD card. The external SD card is located in local/mnt/sdcard-ext.
Hello i got my sgs3 today,i have inserted a 32gb sd card,but cant find a folder link to my ext card on es fileexploer
i rebember on my sgs2 i had a folder called extsdcard or something to acces my sd card??
can anybody tell me where it is? or how to do?
regards
It's mnt/extSdCard
make sure you are in the main directory, under /mnt should be 2 files: "extSdCard" (external card -your 32gb card) and "sdcard" (internal card)
can also try just "MyFiles" if FileExplorer is giving you issues, that's what I use when not using Astro

thanks i found it,but it dident show mnt without showing hidden files,im using a app called websharing who i like very much,
but on that app it does not show mnt folder just internal card,i dident have any problems on my sgs 2 with that,because it was a folder in internal card linking to my sdcard.. is it a way to make a folder linked to sd card on internal memory??
thanks for all help
Yes.
First create a folder on your internal sd (/mnt/sdcard) called external_sd (you can name it whatever you want but for compatibility reasons you should choose this)
Then use the following tool to bind-mount /mnt/extSdCard/ to /mnt/sdcard/external_sd

You can just press the Favorite button on the es file explorer. Your external SD card should be shown there as /mnt/extSdCard/
Hi,
I'm currently using JellyBam rom.
The problem is that when I'm using whatsapp, I can't download images, or create backups.
I think the problem is that the rom created a separate folder for the SD card, instead of mounting it in my internal memory.
How can I mount my external SD to my internal?
Or are there other fixes for my problem?
First of all, you don't need two threads for this, i recon an admin will remove it soon. Please only create ONE thread.
Om Jelly Bean, samsung made a seperate folder for your external sd files (providing that you have one) in mnt section. In you file explorer go to mnt folder there you will see an ExtSdCard folder. There you have all your external sd files.
You say you have problems with WhatsApp saving it on the external sd? If this is the case then just set the defaulr storage place to internal sd card?
Also before JB the external sd wasn't "mounted" in internal. The file was just located inside the sdcard folder. Now sdcard folder is sdcard0 and external sd is ExtSdCard as mantioned above
If you found an answer, dont forget to thanks
Or any further questions, just reply.

Thank you the quick reply.
How can I change it? Because it is very annoying!
I didn't know I created two threads.
Can anybody tell me what is external sd path?
I see sdcard2, storage/emulated0, storage/sdcard0/, sdcard and i don't know what is correct path for external SD.
Should be sdcard2. Easy way to tell is to mount it when plugged into pc and drop a file there, then search for the file on device. Or do it with the SD card out of the phone. Either way.
