ok every time i download something it stores to my internal memory and not on my sd card, and i cant store anything to external sd card except pictures. how can can i make external sd card the default storage. im not rooted
Many people here had the same problem. The only solution is to root and switch storage mounts via a script.

Yup, without root, this phone is lame. Root it and the device becomes more than it's worth

if you have a JB installed . and you just want to download files into external_sd .
then you dont need to root the device .
and you can set in the browser . menu -> settings -> advanced -> storage -> sd card .
then you would download files into external sd automatically .

Hmm my phone memory is now showing 300mb, anyone knows what app, to use to go in and manage that, memory, so I could possibly move it to my sdcard, I have root explorer, but can only find the options to move stuff from sdcard to external card please.?
I use Titanium Backup Pro... this also has the functionality to move to SDcard... apart from loads of other stuff...
EDIT : Sorry a correction... You would first need an external MicroSD card inserted into phone.. then you can move Application to SD by .... go to Settings-> Applications-> Manage applications-> open/click on any application under downloaded tab... Then click Move to SD Card
Search the market... Its bound to be there.

Good day all,
I have a question,
I am using the AOKP_Bezke ROM and it's a good ROM, I only experience a difficulty which for I don't understand.
For some awkward reason it only recognizes my 11 GB internel (USB) storage but It cannot find my SD CARD.
This is a huge disadvantage for me because I got allot of memory on my SD CARD, it's just strange why it doesn't recognize it. Same goes when I connect my phone to my laptop, it only sees my internal storage.
My phone only recognize my SD Card when I use my stock ROM.
Can someone help me out please? I am in a state of confusion.

Switch to MTP mode or if u r using mass storage mode then use multi mount sdcard from play store to mount both sdcard.

Use a file explorer
Use a file explorer with root access (ES File Explorer works for me) and look in /mnt/emmc. AOKP ROMs are a bit funny with sd cards.

Thanks for your answer, but that is probably the worst app that I have used on my phone.
It crashes immediately.

I know this already, it's just that my phone ain't using it.
When I check my storage it only says "Internal storage > 1GB "USB Storage > 11 GB" but no where do I see my SD CARD.
I cannot manage my SD card via my phone nor use it, nor do I see it on my laptop when I connect my phone to it.
What can be the issue here?
Hello. Many applications have problems with sd card access. How to fix it without root?
For example, es file explorer displays internal samsung storage instead of sd card...
P. S. Sorry for possibly repeated question. It's impossible to search at tapatalk...
Guys, please help!
Ok
1. Open app
2. Menu
3. Manager
4. Sdcard analyst
5. Disks (button up near to menu)
6. mnt/ external sdcard
Change back to internal by the disks button again or back
Next time, external sdcard shortcut will be on your favourite (star button)
Maybe easier easy way, but I just installed it to try and quickly help you.

Nice !
Should be put in the wiki
Thanks. But it does not work. After this procedure I can still see only internal 'sdcard'. What I did wrong and is there any solution?
Try re-format (full, not quick) external sdcard exfat or fat32 in PC
Try again.
Also make sure out is mounted to phone:
Settings > storage > sdcard mount

Hello,
I did bought orginal Samsung mincro SD card 32gb class 10. I did put inside to the phone and first what i did after phone did show me space 29gb i did format it from phone options in settings of storage. After format i did reboot my phone just in case. Now i did plug in phone to my pc and all do work fine. My pc see Internal and external storage on my phone. After when i did copy files to my external memory of my phone and do unplug micro usb i cant see my external sd card on my phone. In apps like winamp/RockPlayer/BSPlayer/ES File Explorer...all what i can see is only sdcrad which is internal memory. I cant see external memory at all.
Best thing is when i do put movie anywhere on external sd card by usb/pc and run build in samsung app "Video Player" its see video form external sd! I dont know whats going on and i did have S2/Dell Streak/Note and never had problem like this before.
Any help would be nice.

Thank you for link but i dont need data transfer. My problem si why i cant see external sd card in any of apps. When i do swich on winamp there is music from external sd card, when i do swich on build in video player i do see videos form external sd card but there is no way i can explore external sd card using any of explore apps or any other app where you can search files by folders. There is no Root folder or mnt.
Oki small update. I just did give a go to one more app "Root browser lite" and i can see all folders and sys files. Looks like problem is with moust of apps which can't handle way of G3 works with external sd card. I'm right?

Yes you're right. The s3 and other devices that have like 16/32 GB internal memory uses part of it for system and the rest is mounted as "sdcard"when infact it's internal memory. In addition to this sdcard there's the real sdcard which is mounted as external-sdcard. Many apps are programmed to look for only sdcard and not ext-sdcard. For such programs creating a symlink using the above tool that I posted will help it "see" contents/folders of the ext-sdcard.
As you mentioned some programs can and some can't browse/see ext-sdcard - if it's absolutely necessary, creating a symlink is the only option I can think of.
Hello,
I have installed Cyanogenmod version 10.1 on my S2.
The rom looks good. I only have one problem. I can't access my external SD card.
When I go to system, storage I see there the SD, and how much of it is filled, but I can't access it in any way nor any installed sw.
I have a backup that is on my external SD, when I want to do restore, I can't since it will not see the external sd.
Can anyone please help me?

Go inside storage and there u will find the sdcard0 and sdcard1
For me it says sdcard (Internal sdcard), and the extsdcard (external sdcard). But you can find them in the Storage folder.
Happy New Year.
Thank you friends,
I might have not understood you all...when I go to file manager or mybackup-pro, I can't see the external sd card (nor the sw see's it, nor I with the file explorer).
Only when I got to system/storage I see that the device see's it (I can see the storage of the sd and how much is filled).
However, I can't access it, nor my sw installed.
Please let me know how you resolved it?
Thank you,

Ignore the built in file manager and install "File Manager" from Google Play and use that instead.
Same problem here.
Using another file manager will not solve the problem of Apollo crashing if you have music files on that external sd card.
The whole system can not access the card.
In Settings->Storage it say: SD Card -> Available XX GB
But there is no statistics about what is on there.
The whole system is not able to pick anything up from that sd card without having root access.
Why?!
Go to recovery and fix permissions.
Sent from my digital submersible hovercraft.
Thx, but that is not working, dude :/
Seems like Apollo was crashing because of one of my songs on the SD card.
The other situation is still there. No detailed information about the content of the external sd card in settings -> storage.
Maybe it is default behavior?!
Unable to see External SDCard
Via Win 7 PC, using USB, I can see 3 Drives on Motorola Droid Razr 1/Moto Drive 2/Internal Storage 3/External SDCard (32gb) I can see and access all files on any of these drives.
Once disconnected from USB, I go to Storage and CAN see the same above. However, when using any File Manager software, and not connected via USB, I can't even see the EXT. SD Card, and therefore can't access any files on that drive/card.
I recently received official JB pggicial OTA from Moto.
simpleeeeeee!
i too had this problem! galley, and music players were not able to access the data of memory card! i just put back all the data again after formatting the memory card! and it workedddddd... so simple!
hit thanks if i helped:victory::victory:
I had the exact problem. All I did was go into the "General Setting" from Settings, and changed the app from Safe mode to Root Access Mode. Hope this helps.

Even I suffered the same problem in my s2 cm11 kitkat..
What I did was:
Booted into Recovery --> Mount and Storage
Then mount sdcard0 and sdcard1
