Hi guys,
I'm on Android 4.4.3
Since upgrading to kitkat I have noticed that many apps can't perform functions like delete/move/cut files on sdcard.
Is there any fix for this ?
Sd card fix from play store but only for rooted users.
Run it and then reboot
Press thanx if i helped you in anyway...

yes it is.
could you maybe give a precise example to reproduce (maybe one affected app and the task which you wanted to do)?
on my end i am alwas doing such tasks with es file explorer and never encountered such problems on temasek rom cm11 4.4.3.
but i once had a similiar problem, and the solution was not to use storage/sdcard, but instead to go through data/media/0, there all tasks could be done correctly. But now I haven't these problems anymore.

Hi guys, I've run into a problem. I'm on Resurrection Remix 3.0.2 (jelly bean) and before flashing the latest version of the rom I tried to do a nandroid back up. I had done this numerous times with no problems. Anyway, I tried to back up to external sd card. The back up crashed since there wasn't enough free space and the phone rebooted itself. Since that happened, I lost access to my sd card. I can't view my pic gallery and lost some apps. ES file explorer says there's no card,even though there is. I tried flashing the most recent rom version and tried rebooting of course. Nothing worked. Solutions?

Did you try to remove your sd card and then put it again back ?

Yep, I tried that too.
i have faced the same problem , the whole problem is that in AOKP the external SD is mounted to emmc instead of external_sd ,( i know that's a pain in the neck ) but there is 2 ways to overcome this :
1)search for an app on xda called remountSD
2)or just use directory bind here is the guide:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1536568

Thanks, but I can't download the remountsd apk because there's no sd card. Ironic, but it stinks.

can't u just connect ur pc and copy this apk to your internal sd card using mass storage mode
or even go to the link from your mobile with a browser like chrome and download it directly to your internal sd download folder (/sdcard/download)
by the way external sd is found in (/emmc)to get there u need an app like root explorer
Hi
I have same problem in my Sony Xperia tipo. i have install this APK in on devices. it's called "REMOUNT" just search in play store. After install follow the step...

Hi xdians,
I'm experiencing such a weird problem with my 8gb SD card I guess.
I download a music with mp3 format and I can listen it, but after 5 minutes I can not listen the music, its not recognizing the music, it can't open the music file.
When I download an apk from web I can install it immediately after the download has finished, but after 5 or more minutes I can't install the apk, it says ,, there is error parsing the package" also the icon from the apk is changed into android icon.
One more problem... when I move an app from internal memory to SD card I can open it and play it, but after 5 minutes or so after closing the app, I can not open it again, it instant force close when I'm opening. Also in settings on Manage Applications the icon on the app that has been moved to SD card is removed.
This are the problems I'm facing, every help/opinion is very apprecied.
Thanks a lot!

First of all, backup apps using Titanium backup. Secondly, Backup any data on your SD card to a computer. Format your SD card, restore data and see if that works.

You can still use apps in internal right?
You might have to replace your SD card.
But first Flash stock firmware.
Did this happen all of a sudden? Or did something happen.

Yes in internal I can use apps without any problem.
All of sudden I guess, I'm using custom miui rom with cm7 kernel.
And how do you mean replace my SD card? Use a new one or unmount>format>mount from stock rom?

He means go for new SD card
See if you had tried all possible methods for recovering like formatting and all so if now no option is left then go for new SD Card

You could try the app SDFix by NextApp in the Play Store. It's free.

OP - Are you rooted?
KitKat has issues with access to microSD depending on what you are doing.
You will need to enable full access to SD.
Look in the root thread ot use Xposed with Tweakbox.

Yes I am rooted, All I'm trying to do is set the sd card as my dl directory, so files save to my sd card and not internal memory.
I have xpososed as well as tweak box already installed

boat browser is not a privileged app. It will not write everywhere on the sdcard with default kitkat privileges. you can change them manually or since you are rooted use an app like sdfix or an xposed module to do the change for you.

I have the same problem with the internal card. i can't download anything off of playstore anymore because it says insufficient memory. I am going to have to flash the stock b06 thing and start over. blows. Oh and there is like 12 gig available on the internal card and I dont see any other way around it. Maybe after refreshing I will be able to implement the newest root method and that will clear it up. Also I DON'T have a problem saving random objects to the samsung evo 64gb (omg you have to get one) because I did the kitkat fix and it worked fine.
Hello,
I've got a quick question because I didn't found any methods that helped me out. Is there a way to move apps to my SD card?
YES, root acces is available. I found some threads here about the SD cards but like I said nothing helped me out. Could someone explain it to me? Btw I also installed the KitKat Fixer for the SD Card.
Thanks for help...

i think you can use app2sd or link2sd or any apps simular to do this job for you

I tried they all! But they doesn't work for me. Link2SD for example freezes my phone when it I go into the standby (after making another partition)
Nope since 4.4.2 and 4.4.4 it aint work anymore and not even with app2sd or link2sd !
Hi guys! First time here. I have a few questions about Moto E.
I frequently use apps like Airdroid and Software Data cable to transfer my stuff to and from my computer. Transferring to computer works like a charm, but since the internal memory is only 2.4GB(1.3 already used), I cannot transfer files which are pretty huge. The SD card restrictions found in Kitkat does not allow me to copy files directly to External SD card. Is there any way I can change the restrictions without rooting my phone? Thanks in Advance.
I get the following error:
No fix without root that I know of...
...well, you could install a custom recovery, mount /system RW and replace the framework with one patched to remove the restriction, but I guess the effort isn't worth it except as a personal challenge!

Thanks for the reply. I just hope moto e has lollipop upgrade soon. I read that they fixed the SD restrictions.

I was actually concerned about copying large files from computer to SD card using airdroid. Like for example, if i want to copy a 4 gb file, i can't do it without a data cable or card reader. But i don't know if we can put app data in Sd card. I had to stop playing dead trigger 2 because of low storage? Do you think it's possible to put obb's in SD card in moto e?
