I am rooted stock right now and I remember with my sgs2 on sprint when I event into root explorer (the app) I would click sd card(which would be internal storage) then inside sd card would be ext sd and that would be my sd card. I can't get into my sd card in root explorer only my internal sd. Anyone else have this issue?

How do you get to that Storage configuration menu if you're not rooted?

You'll find the external SD card at /mnt/extSdcard.
been looking for it for almost 2 hours now. Was about to format my SD card until I read this. Thanks

How do i get stuff to save to sd instead of internal memory? I see in root explorer /sdcard and /sdcard-ext which is my my sdcard.

It will ask you where you want to to save files to. Try going into the file manager.

I know what you mean - I don't see a way to do this by default across the board. Some apps let you choose the backup location and you'd have to type in the path you wrote above. Other than that, aside from some of the stock Moto apps that let you specify saving to the "SD Card" - which is actually the card, other apps will only identify the internal memory thinking it is the "SD Card".
I don't like how Moto made the internal memory identify itself as the SD Card.

Precisely what i mean. thanks.... Hmmm.... Kinda crappy that you can't change in most apps to automatically save to sd card. Kinda defeats the purpose of one.

Wait a sec... Sdcard-ext is the actual sd card? And the regular sdcard is the internal storage? Oooohh that explains alot then. I was so confused about that. For some reason I though the phone was partitioning the sd card into two... Woops lol

Hey guys I'm having a issue with my phone. When ever I use my file explorer (es file explorer) its not going into my SD card instead its going into my internal storage don't think its my SD card cause my gallery and music player read and play files from my SD card.
Is this a known issue how do I fix it?
Thanks.

With SGS2, your internal memory is in /sdcard and your actual external SD card is on /sdcard/external_sd
If you go to the /sdcard from the file explorer, you should find a folder called "external_sd", thats your SD card.
I went into the external SD folder and there's only a external SD executive file in there nothing else do I need to reformat my SD card?

Go into the /mnt directory and look for the folder titled extSdCard.

I was looking for the same thing. I think its the way Samsung has labeled the internal memory as an SD.
Using the My Files app the SD card is labeled as extSD. Maybe Root Explorer needs to be updated.

Sorry to hijack the thread but I may have a problem with my external sd card. When I plug my phone into my computer not everything is showing up. For example I have 395 pictures and only 23 are showing up in windows explorer. A couple other folders are not showing all the content either. Now, on the phone itself using solid explorer I can see everything that is on the card but on a handful of files the file extension is messed up (a pic has an extension of .jpg7673.jpg and when I change it I get a popup that says I can't rename because that name already exists). I have a class 10 64gb SanDisk formatted in exFat using Windows 7. Any solutions?
I notice that anything I download goes to that folder. What is that? Is that on the sd card or internal memory?

You said ExSD. ExtSD is the external memory card; you can change your download location for the stock browser in settings, and the camera app will automatically detect a memory card and ask you.
