Hello,
I bought my wife a 16gb SD Card for her Ray and I would like to transfer the content of the current 8GB card to it. However, I did installed some apps on the SD as the Ray's internal storage is so limited. What should I do to be sure that all the apps will run correctly after the transfer ?
Should I bring all the apps back to the internal storage, then make the transfer then put them back on the new SD ?
Thanks !
No I recently changed from an 8gb to Ultra 16gb and I just used my computer to copy everything from the SDcard to the other.
I'd say if you don't tell her when you change it, she won't notice anything.
Maybe it will take a while for the phone to sync with the new SDcard.

Hello all,
I'm new here and have a couple of questions about my first smartphone the Galaxy SII (Rooted)
I have recently been getting a few messages informing me that the SD Card is full, which seems to hold about 12 GB.
I have a 32 GB External Sd Card which I try to keep most of my vids / music, and apps that I consider don't really need to e on the actual phone like games, etc.
Other apps like browsers, Password safes, etc I keep on the phone itself.
The Phone seems to have 3 storage areas that it seems to refer to
USB Storage (Actually part of phone memory= Correct ?
SD Card (Actually part of phone memory = Correct?
External SD Card (Removable sd card = Correct ?
Can somebody please explain to me what the idea behind this setup is and how do I go about freeing up the SD Card when most of the directories in there seem to be Data related with the odd folder left over from uninstalled apps.
Hope that makes sense.
Apologies for any bad / incorrect terminology.
Regards
Loachy
If you go to Settings->storage ;
SD Card would refer to any external microSD card you might have put in.
USB Storage would refer to the Internal storage (can be used for storing media/data files)
there is another storage of about 2GB or so... which is used for apps installations..
this partitions can only be accessed via few apps like root explorer and others...
In order to free up your App storing internal storage ( which is 2GB odd)... you would need to put in an external microSD card...
then use any App (i use titanium Backup Pro) to move some of the apps to SD card...(which is infact the external microSD card)
I just bought an LG L9 phone which for its price of $150 was pretty attractive for a dual core.
However, I noticed that when I downloaded apps that download extra data, they were not storing the data on my micro sd, but rather the internal storage, which only has 1.5gb available.
For some reason internal storage is named /SDCARD and the external storage is named SDCARD/ETERNAL_SD
I have no option to move any apps to the sd card from the app settings menu. I put my old microsd card in this phone and tried to restore settings saved from other apps, but it wouldnt recognize I had an settings saved since it apparently doesnt know about the new microsd card directory.
When I download a game that downloads extra files like Asphault for example, it doesnt store the extra data on the micro sd, it just puts it all on the internal storage. I cannot use my offline gps program because it says I dont have enough space to download the map files which normally would be downloaded right to the microsd
I called LG about this, and they claim its normal and all ICS phones have this file name structure.
Is this true? Starting with ICS, are all phones making micro sd cards practically useless aside fro m storing pictures and videos?
Hi, on this day I bought LG Optimus L9, it has Internal storage 4GB, for user is only 2GB. In settings this memory shows like internal memory, but in file maneger it shows like SD Card what is problem...my 32GB SDcard is located in SD Card/external_sd. Than games which needs additional data which are on SD Card, are downloaded to internal memory, and on external SD Card games doesn't see data, because path to this memory is SD Card/external_sd ....have you got any ideas how to solve it ? is any way how to create shortcut to folder of games data ?
You can use GL to SD

You need to root your phone if you haven't already.
Also you should know that at least my phone needs to be restarted after using it everytime i play something.
Maybe it works well on yours.

and he came with 4GB total(when i say total i mean internal is 1.62GB, phone storage is 1GB and i have no idea where another 1.3GB, i think it's the OS it self) i bought a 10 Class 8GB sd card and i though it was easy to install from play store to the sd card, but the problem it's i can't install directly to sd card and even can't move them after the installation, the only thing i can do is move the apps from internal storage to phone storage, can't install any app to the sd card(the sd card is working great, i copied some music into it and i can listen to it from the phone)
i read somewhere that i can change via adb to set location to external but it didn't worked for me, i also read that i can flash heb files but i don't have the original rom of this phone and also, this still doesn't solve the problem that i can't move apps to the sd card ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2455850 )
all i want is just to install asphalt on this phone =\
Anyone?
Hi, I formatted my SanDisk 16gb card as Internal Storage for my Android Marshmallow 6.0 Moto G 2nd Gen XT1068 *rooted* device. So far so good, the problem is that my phone was failing really bad yesterday not sure why, it won't move files from internal to the sd card so it was running out of space and the whole system started failing. I was not able to backup my SD card neither, because my developer options were blocked so no USB debugging available., I tried everything I found online, from stoping removing cache from Media internal app and some others, etc, and nothing worked.
So I decided to restore my phone to stock.
I did this and now it works fine, however it does not recognize my SD card (because it was formatted as internal storage with the "previous" device) so now I have a 16gb SD Card (4GB occupied) inaccessible to make a backup.
Is there a way to gain access to this SD card so I can move out all the files I've in there so I can format it again as internal storage?
Any information missing please ask,
Thanks in advance,
Denis.
