64 GB SDCard is useless ? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
i have a 64 gb sdcard and it seems useless to me since i found out that "moving android/data/xy" to sdcard doesnt work. (btw the app wants to download all data again because he dont "looks" if there are the data on sdcard) Is there a workaround? Im thinking about a 16 GB sdcard then... :/

For Game Loft games and a few others, I use the app 'GL to SD' - works great!

micro sd card is quite cheap now , get at least a min 32gb , now i dont even know what to do with my old 8 gb card , use it as a toothpic ? lol

And that does not work with CM 10 without apps?
What are theese apps exactly do? Isnt there anything possible to do without extra apps? I have much time!

use GL to SD
else, format it as fat32 and use directory bind

There is a mod out there which switches your internal sd into external and vice versa, so you have 64GB internal sd storage after installing that mod.

[Q]App2SD Help...

how do I correctly setup my external sd card(16gb) to allow apps to be installed on it?
I made a partition in recovery that's 2gb with 0mb swap, but It's not showing it anywhere.
can someone please help?
...whenever i choose to show the SD, it only shows my internal sd card. it can't recoginize my external card for apps.
Apps dont move to your ext sd, they move to your internal memory. The sd part is misleading.
yes i know that, but i'm asking, how do i make it go to my external sd?

Works for me with link2sd. Don't know why its not reading your sd tho. But that's the app I use and it's flawless. Still have all internal storage available and apps linked appropriately.

My phone reads my sd just fine, but app2sd shows my internal as my sd and not my external so it copies to back to the phone.

Usb mass storage help

Hi iv connected my phone to my pc via usb I wanted to transfer 10GB file size over on to my sd card but it says file destination too small when there is enough space as my card is 16gb, any help please?
Your sd may be 16gb but you can use only 11.50 gb as the rest are used by the phone.. So I guess you have used over 1.50 gb already and there is not enough space... Try through an external sd or free some space...

But it says I have 11.5gb free?
The file size is only 9.75gb
I see that there is a usb storage in 11.50gb and a system storage in 1.97 gb. Maybe the second is for the applications and is taken from the usb storage...
Why does the phone use 4.5GB of the SD cards space? I thought there was internal storage too.

It's not only one file, is it? The file system (fat32) can't handle such big files.

Yeah it is fat32, and yeah it is one file. Is there a way around this?
Fat32 can only handle file sizes of around 4GB each time. So each file you want to transfer can only be around 4GB in size. I believe the SGS2 works with an NTFS formatted card, and with NTFS you can transfer any file size.
Can the file you are trying to transfer be broken up into small segments or must it remain as a 10GB file?

It's a video file. So must stay as one. I'll try to convert sd card as ntfs
S2 can't recognise ntfs
Are you sure? Pretty sure I read somewhere that it does. Oh well, is fat32 the only format it reads?

Seems to be, because when formatted to NTFS it says unrecognised format please reformat
Anybody else got ideas?
Try encode with smaller bit rate and smaller resolution?

Yes, I am using a 64gb SD card. The only problem is you will need to format the SD card to fat32. They are some free programs that will format it for you. I did have a small problem with 4.0.3 r5 reading the card, but as soon as I transfered a music track it read my SD card, and I have not had a problem since. The are some games that can be moved to SD, I use GL to SD for gamesloft games. I use about 2gb of internal storage and 60+gb on SD.

[Q] SD Card

Hello. I've been having a problem with my SGS2 i777. (СM 10.1 NIGHTLY 2013/02/07)
My phone mount external SD Card (32gb), but does not use a memory card. I can't unmount SD Card, because unmount button is not active (See screenshot), and I can't move programs to the SD Card using the app2sd. (Sorry for my english, I have a basic level.)
Please help.
You might try formatting the SD card in your PC. I had a similar problem back when I first rooted my phone and that worked for me.

Then you should be able to use it properly with move to SD option in the Applications Setting. If that is what you are trying to do.

I'm trying move apps to SD, but it doesn't work. Memory is not simply used. On the memory card created in the folder LOST.DIR.
But my internal SD Card filled, if I move app to SD.

Are you trying to use that Apps2SD? I don't recommend it. Just go to Setting >> Applications and move the apps from there.

Can i do partition internal storage ?

Hi.
Can i make something like partition on internal storage? i have i9300 16GB internal and it woyld me nice to make 2-3 partition like C, D, E for games, apps, photo. Or game and apps, photo, rest and maybe protect before changing roms. I liek to change roms but its so bored installing all the times the same apps.
Also i want to buy mini sd card but waiting for answer bcs i dont know what to buy and ill install every apps and game on sd card so before change rom ill still have on sd card.
Don't mess with the internal storage, it isn't an sd card and you'll hard brick the phone.
Put everything on your external sd, leave the internal as empty as possible -this will reduce wear on the nand memory.

When changing roms you still would have to reinstall all games, nevermind if on internal or external sd. Just use Titanium Backup to make it easy and as said don't touch internal memory!

I don't think so as the base app or at least some parts is still installed in internal memory whereas e. G. Save games you could copy to external and copy back later if you can find the files.
