[Q] SD card to phone - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to transfer apps and photos from SD card to phone (rooted), if so how is this done.

File manager should help you transferring photos.
But what you mean transferring apps from sd card to phone?

There are a couple of apps I didn't back up with titanium, but they are my SD card. Just wondered if I could get them back on the phone without reinstalling from play store.
Not a major problem really, just curious.

Should Google apps be moved to SD?

Hello,
I just Rooted my phone (Samsung Transform 2.2.2) and wanted to know if it was wise to move Google apps to SD (Maps, Search, etc)?

Shouldn't be a problem. Try it and see if everything works right.
ive done this before and its a bit annoying when i drop my phone and the sd card detaches or maneuvers a bit...when this happens you have to turn off the phone, remove the sd card, insert it, and restart your phone.... because if you dont do that then the phone spits out an error when you try to launch an app
so now instead of putting my apps on sd, i but my movies and files...
ye, sd card for data only, and gg app maybe little slow when running on SD card
I'm not familiar with your phone's OS but on my EVO 4G, Huawei u8160, and Epic Touch 4G I have had no problem with any app including Google Apps.

Yes why not

i also agree with "why not?"
you can try it out and if it does not satisfy your needs you can simply switch the app back to the internal memory...

Data to SD

Hi.
I have the problem that the 8 GB of the internal store are full.
The problem is that games and HTC Watch dont use the SD card for saving data. Is there a solution to save the data on the SD card and not on the Tablet store?
Sorry for bad english.

hello!
in order to put htc watch and apps onto the sd card, i believe rooting is necessary and you need to download from the play shop: apps2sd. either that, or connect to your pc as a disk drive and move and music and pictures and other stuff like that onto the sd card so you can fit your apps and watch stuff into the tablets storage fully. hope i helped!

[Q] Is there a way to only mount the ExSD card on Xbox from S2

Ok so im fast running out of space on my internal SD card and would like to watch stuff from my external Sd card on my 360 however for some reason it only scans internal SD for videos so Ive come up with some ideas and wonder if such a thing exists.
1.a program that allows you to only mount the ExSD card on the xbox which in turn means you could use your phones storage whilst watching a video
2. A script that mounts the ExSD before the internal.

Ugh ok..... Ever since I formatted and didn't restore the old system settings the xbox is now showing a directory structure in videos however when I select the external Sd folder nothing else Is showing up... Still I'm halfway there

Is there anything important on my SD card?

I am using an SD card in my note that I originally used in my HTC evo. I just backed the card up to my computer and formatted it. I know stuff like pics and music, while not important to the operation of the phone, are things I want to keep. But is there anything that is needed? I would assume no, since there was nothing on it to start when I used it with my evo. And I have used my note without an SD card before. I'm just wondering if I should leave it empty(with the exception of pics and music) or if I should copy anything else back to it.
Does the note put nandroids on the SD card or internal memory?
My phone puts my backups to my cwm folder on my internal storage. I only have my music and movies on my SD card. I also have my phone set to install to internal memory so it doesn't mess with sdcard. I would think our good. Just double check your folders to be sure

hi jason
are you sure your SD is mounted and recignized?
try to pull it off, and re-insert it. afterwards reboot your device.
if it still isn't recognized try to read it with a card reader\another device and backup+format it.
All the photos in the sd show up perfectly its the internal sd that doesnt show pictures. Also it looks like the root directory has been changed to sdcard/storage/sdcard0

What if your ext-sd damaged inside? Did you try to another sd card? Music player read your mp3 from that sdcard? Or a file explorer app can see and open your pictures?

I have a similar problem. My external SD card is mounted and browsable using ES File Explorer and all my media files are visible and viewable from ES. However, none of the media files on the external card appear in the various apps (i.e. pictures not visible in gallery, mp3s in the music player etc.). What is even stranger is that once I set the stock camera to save new pictures to the external SD these pictures are visible in the gallery, however all other pictures present taken on my previous phone (HTC Desire) are still not visible, even when located in the same folder. The same pictures do show up if I transfer them to the internal SD card but I would rather not have them all stored there.
Any help would be very much appreciated!
Cheers,
Sam

I have the direct opposite problem, my internal doesn't show, whereas met ext-sd is visible in my apps. Need help too!
I have resolved this on mine, I formatted the external sd card and copied everything back. I guess the S3 just didn't like reading a card formatted by the Desire, I'll know better next time!

Search inside your photo folders. If you see a file named .nomedia delete it.
This is because you're using third party file manager. Use the stock My File to move the files back and forth and it will show up in the gallery.

I read somewhere that there was a bug in cwm manager latest version which put a .nomedia file in the root directory. There are fixes where you have to remove the .no media file and reinstall cwm.

sd card does not show on my lg optimus p509, while it works on other phones and pcs. it shows sdcard umnounted or not inserted while i was sending a file through bluetooth before, and from then onwards...i have formatted it through pc also. i had rooted it with superclickone before. it is from t-mobile and i have unlocked it in my country. current software version lg-p509-v10l, android version 2.2, kernel 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1 sun oct 24 19:10:09 kst 2010, build number FRF91. thank you...
My sd photos do not show in my Gallery
Dears,
All you need to do rather than resetting your phones is simply go to your application manager and clear the cache and anything for the Gallery as an application. And make sure that you also acquire the Gallery app with all the needed permissions to access your sd card. Then open your Gallery app, and there you go.
Enjoy!
