[Q] Can't see / access all of my sD card? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After I formatted my SD Card due to a write protected file I couldn't delete (I backed up every file on the SD card except the write protected file then pasted them back onto the sd card), I go into 'My Files' then All Files it shows 2 options: SD card and Internal Storage.
When I go into SD Card, it shows the directory "/storage/extSdCard", but where is the sdcard0 directory? So I can access all files & apps etc
Also I've noticed that when I view a large app (GTA SA) in the application manager the option to move to sd card is greyed out. This isn't because I'm running out of storage, I've got around 27GB free.
Man this is annoying

Weird way to respond. If you can't be bothered to help yourself then you'll have to learn to live with it.

External SD as Internal SD How to?? and Should I??

Hi,
I have just got my SGSIII and lovin it. I was using Motorola Atrix 2 prior and on it, I had set external SD (Micro SD card) as 'Default Write ****'.
So all my settings (TiBack, Nova, Whatapp, Other apps stuff,) is in there. So my question is this,
Shall I go ahead and do whatever thats needed to swap the storages like I had on my prev. phone or Keep it as it is and use the Samsung Galaxy SIII default setup??
I can definitely see some advantages. Install apps and data to internal SD and use External SD as purely for photos,videos and such stuff..roms and crap. But would like to know what is standard going on.
If I decide to Dual-boot will I have any issues?
Also If I choose to switch roms,..What is the best option?
Thanks and regards,
NHS2008
P.S. How the hell can I remove the 'Tap and hold screen to add items' on blank screens!!??
Anyone?? Shall I stick with internal as internal or make ext. internal??

[Q] How to move Fb and whatsapp in SDcard

Hi
Someone plz tell me how to move fb and whatsapp in SDcard. From Manage Application Move to SDcard option is disabled also in App2SD unable to transfer it.
Is it possible????It consumes a lot of space....
For moving apps those do not support to move in SD by default, you need root access on your device & then use any app such as "DroidSail Super App2SD" to move them forcefully to SD card.

Moving facebook on sd card every time you open it, it will erase the data and you will have to repeat the account access.
If you have rooted device, you can use titanium backup to move them to SD.
The app has been moved to SD card, but i am not sure about data stored by these apps.
Data was still in phone memory, i guess.

How to do this ?
Easiest way is to use cwm recovery..there is a option partion of sd card click that u will ask about the size,preferabaly give 512mb that it press ok ur sd card partition is over..otherwise use windows minitool partition wizard but u need pc to do it..just google it u will get the procedure to do it.. and one more thing ur sd card content will get erased so backup ur sd card contents to ur pc..

Hit Thanks if I Helped
I reply here because I spent a lot of time searching through very old posts and trying outdated methods. I didn't know that actually today there is a very easy solution to move whatsapp media folder to SD card. It perfectly worked on my Samsung Galaxy A3 A320FL:
1) Root (I used twrp + magisk method)
2) Download "App2SD" (the original by Vicky Bonick; it's free) and follow instructions on how to create partitions
3) Use "folder mount (app analyzer)" feature, which apparently was not considered in the old posts in this forum, so I suppose it was recently added to Apps2SD.
It's like folder mount, but it's pre-set for some common apps, including Whatsapp. With this feature, you can successfully move Whatsapp media folder to SD, in one clic.
In my case everything worked fine. When I reboot I have to re-mount folder, but it takes one second (just open Apps2SD, tap Folder Mount, slide "whatsapp other").

[Q] How does internal card work on I9300

Hello. I was once flashing a new ROM and after it my internal sdcard was wiped. That got me upset but 2 days later i was browsing my /data partition. I remembered that internal SDcard files are stored on /data/media... So i decided to open that and i found all my lost files there... So here comes my question - How does that actually work? How come my files stored on /data/media (sdcard) but dont apear at /storage/emulated/0 or /storage/sdcard0 or /sdcard? ( they all seem like sdcard to me Shouldnt it be the same?) Thanks in advance for any help

[Q] A Quick Question?

Hey guy i have a problem with my (STORAGE). I am running Cynogenmod 10.2.0 (Version 4.3.1) Flashed through TWRP (Latest Version).
In (STORAGE) there are (4 Folders) named:
- emulated
- sdcard0
- sdcard1
- usbdisk0
In (EMULATED) there are 2 other folders named:
- legacy
- 0
In (SDCARD0) I can see my files but there are no files in (SDCARD1)
In the (LEGACY) folder there are the same files which were in sdcard0.
In the (0) folder there are same files but with a (DOWNLOAD) folder in it.
How can make it simple all like (SDCARD0) like it was in stock rom? Another problem is i cannot move files somtimes via PC or Any File Manager.
The file structure is different for 4.2 onwards. I believed u flashed it from a 4.1.2 rom? Maybe stock? Look at the link. It will describe everything. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2274218

[Q] Very Important Link2sd Question

Hi I have a question. I had a few apps linked to link2sd then I reset my phone and erased everything. All the apps are still on my SD card and the link2sd file structure remains on there. Is there any way to relink all the apps that are on the SD card without having to reinstall everything on my phone one by one, manually?
