Having this issue when I take a picture a message says I cannot store it on my sd card and saves it to the phone memory!
Anyone know what the score is with this.
I can read the card from "my files"

Are you able to add/remove files on the card? If not, I had the same problem - the card effectively became read only permission-wise and I couldn't correct it. Ended up copying all files onto computer, formatting the card in the phone, and copying it all back and it's been fine since

Thanks for the reply guys but Im not trying to move my apps to the sd card . Im trying to make the data that the apps download go to the sd card

I don't think you can. The internal storage is mounted to /mnt/sdcard, and apps seem to always put their downloaded data on /mnt/sdcard. Only tip I can give is to move all your music, pics and videos to the external card to make room for the app data.
Or, move game data to the external sd card when you're not using it, then move it back when you want to play that game.

Wow that sucks. But your right. I guess that is my only option

Hey guys I figured out that cyanogen has that option to use internal or external sd for data storage. Is there a stock rom that offers it?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
No, at least not on any stock based android I've seen. Cyanogenmod was designed to be installed onto the ext sd card. The 'option' it gives is to use the internal, not the other way around. Technical difference, but nonetheless.
I've never seen a stock based 'prom' (that's for you gary) for any phone that had android installed onto the ext sd card.

Anybody been able to get Doubletwist to use the removable SD card? I have a lot of music and a 32 gig card so it would be nice if my favorite player would see my storage media. Thanks in advance.

I don't know what to tell you, dude. Maybe try going to settings, applications, and clear cache for Double Twist and also for Media Storage.

Just installed doubletwist and put in my 32gb sd, found all the music automagically. Only thing I can think of is your card needs to be formatted. Fat32 I believe, not sure because mine worked however it was already formatted.
It's weird because titanium sees it fine. So does root Explorer. I'll try format and re transfer my media.

Ok clearing the cache and data for Doubletwist and media storage worked. Now to test air sync.
Sent from my LG-E970 using Tapatalk 2
Ok so doubletwist will see the music on the sd card, but the pc client won't sync to the removable sd card this is either through usb or air sync. It sees the phone, and will sync to the internal storage, but i can't tell it to use the removable storage. I'm thinking it has something to do with not being able to mount the SD card as mass storage, which i read somewhere on here is not happening with the LGOG. Any thoughts?
Hello,
I also have issues with my external sd card and double twist (but also with other media files eg photos).
Yesterday I synced 14,11GB of music to my external sd card. I was able to play all of the music for a few hours, then over 10 GB "disappeared" or are not recognized / categorized as music anymore. All I can see via double twist, es file explorer and the phone memory (under settings) are 3,67 GB of music and 12,72 GB of "other". Via es file explorer I can also only see 3,67 GB in the actual double twist music folder on the sd card. When I send my pictures directly to the sd card they also disappear after a while, which is quite annoying... I am not sure if this is the notorious kitkat issue, but is there a solution to fix this that works? I tried nextapp sdfix and changing platform.xml as suggested in various other posts by adding: <group gid="media_rw" />
Unfortunately, none of these "fixes" worked for me. Is there a solution to this yet, besides buying a windows phone or an iphone...
Thanks for your help!

Have you got an external sd card? If so it could be faulty. Try running without it inserted.

Seems really the problem of SD card
It works normally without the SD card
But how can i solve the problem?
Get a new card, duh...
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
Try to first repartition the card. In many cases there are permission errors made by the stupid person who don't unmount the partition before pulling the card from the device or computer. But it could also be that the card is broken with it's hardware. Good luck..
Thanks all of you
after 3 times format the card
Seems OK now .......
But one more thing is i cannot play Real Racing 3, after loading then just crash
i dont think this also the problem of my SD card
Recently i installed Alliance b24 with a 64gig external was working great till I noticed pictures and videos were erasing overnight. I take pictures and videos straight to external. Also transfered all my music there but only half the songs are recognizable even though file explorer shows the file still there. If you know of a fix please help.

Simplest fix, and this is going to be an extreme pain, move all your files on your SD card to your computer, format the card within the rom and move everything back. That usually fixes any SD card issues I have ever had with a tw based rom.

I've had to replace 3 64gig cards messing with roms and TWRP recovery unfortunately.
Issues your having sounds very similar to weird problems I've encountered. But night time wasnt the problem lol
Try deleting a file and reboot is the file still there?
Try creating a file and reboot is the file there?
Do it from a PC using cable?
Do it from microsd adapter?
I've even reformatted using PC and phone to find all my files still there and untouched..
Nothing will fix it.. My only solution was copy data and replace on a new card and snap the old card in half for security reasons.
This was after using TWRP and Alliance/Beans roms I've had these issues with a 64gig sdcard. I'd blame it on TWRP somehow.
Sorry it's not a fix.
I did have twrp. But after ur coment switched to philz. Will try both fixes a nd report back. thanks for your input.

Bad sd card was the issue.

I thought so... always have a backup to the backup lol
Seems that I have no room left on my phone storage & tons of space left on my SD card. How can I get my phone to put everything on the card, by default??
Would this work: if I hook my phone up to my PC, then just took all the folders on my phone storage, and moved them to the Card. Would my apps & stuff still work or would doing that not be good??

I don't think just copying the apps will allow them to work. You can use Application Manager to move some apps to the sd card.
I went thru all my apps & moved whichever ones I was able to move. But I did that a long time ago. So I still have no room on my phone storage.

Move photos, downloads and any music on your phone to your SD card too. Then in your camera app go to settings and change the SD card as default.
Download the free version of SD Maid and use it to clean up old thumbnails and program files still on your phone from before you moved them.
I once deleted 2gb of photo gallery thumbnails from my phone with this app. You can also see which files are the largest on your phone and SD card to see if you can move or delete anything.
I have this app on my phone, tab, and my kids tabs to keep up with their memory and storage usage.

Thanks, I'm also running out of space, I'll give this a shot.
Tonight I was gonna try to just backup all my.stuff and then start over. I use GO launcher and I saw that I have GO backup on my phone, so I was gonna try to.use that. I started the app & it said my SD card is corrupted or damaged. I included a screenshot of what it said:
So would this be the reason why everything is on my internal storage instead of my card? Or is that message just something I.should ignore??

If you have a card reader unmount your SD card, take it out and try reading it on a computer. If you can read it I would copy everything off and put in a temporary folder on your desktop. Then format the card with the computer and put it back in the phone, format it using the phone and try your back-up again.
If it works put the card back in your computer and copy your files back. Be sure to unmount the card each time. Mine went corrupt once because I didn't.
How do I make the SD card, the default storage for everything? Or is that not possible...

You would have to change defaults on all your apps, camera is a big one.
