Not sure what i've done wrong, but since day 1 I got my RMN2... im unable to tell my apps to use other folders in SD card.
Like My Backup Root I cannot specify backup path to my SD Card, there's no prompt telling me to give permissions to the app to access my SD card... Same goes for Open Camera... ES file explorer when copying files to SD card...
How do i go about doing that
Okay nvm, I solved it... I've done this solution before and it didnt work... so not sure why it worked now...
Downloaded SD Card Fix from playstore... its meant for 4.4 but also works for RMN2
Just got my RMN2 a few days ago and had the same problem. The permissions could not give new permissions and so I tried the SD Card Fix and now my apps can delete and modify files from my sd card. Thanks.

I'm wanting to backup & format my SD card following a problem with Sense not loading described in another thread. Having read various threads about this problem it seems that some, if not all, revolve around issues with the SD card.
Through File Explorer, on the phone, I've selected ''Show all Files'' from within my SD card directory. However after connecting my phone to my PC thru active sync there are some files that are visible on my phone in the SD card directory which aren't visible in the SD card folder on my PC screen. I've tried to find the show all files setting on my pc but haven't been able to.
Thing is I don't want to backup my card then format it and possibly not backup all files that are present on the card.
Any help appreciated.
Hi there,
Two days ago I copied all the files on my SD card to my laptop, changed my card from a 2Gb one to a 8Gb and copied all the files back again onto the new SD card. I never even looked for hidden files neither on the phone nor on the laptop and it all went without any problems and all is working fine.
For sake of good order, I can't guarantee it will work with you as well, but it should.
Bye,
Itamar

Hi, thx for the reply. Think I'm just gonna bite the bullet and go ahead.
I've noted a problem with SD Card permissions after updating to ICS. I am not rooted, and now that I have updated, it doesn't look like I can root now but the card appears to be Read Only for everything except the preloaded apps.
Any third party app (Astro, Chrome, etc) cannot save files to the SD card. I have to save the file on internal card and then use File Transfer to move it over.
I've found a few suggestions on how to fix it but it requires Root access. Does anyone have an idea how to change the permissions without Root?
Thanks in advance.
I don't think it's possible to change permission assigned to the sdcard2 (external sd), because the file you have to modify is in the system partition. It is possible if you have root permission on your tablet.
Bye ENx
You might use /mnt/sdcard2 instead. At least with ES File Explorer this works fine. Try to contact the developers of your Apps if they don't provide a configuration option.

That's not going to help. In ICS, the external SD is still mounted at /mnt/sdcard2, but now its mounted read-only for non-Sony apps. You would need root to remount the SD card if you want rw to sdcard2, so I've got nothing.

I'm not sure if I understand correctly. I successfully copied a file into /mnt/sdcard2 with ES File Explorer. A copy to /sdcard2 fails.
I'm at ICS.
Information on this issue: "Is Google blocking apps writing to SD cards" (I'm not allowed to post link)
Thanks for the suggestions. I've tried the /mnt/sdcard2 option but it still failed. I have several ways to work around it but it's just annoying that it can't be easily fixed.
I read where ICS 4.06 fixes this but no telling when Sony will release an update to that. I will probably just wait until I can root the device.
Thanks again.
i'm writing to sony support, it's really stupid that i can't access my SD with the file manager i like !
Won't see sd card
Hi guys, i have a problem.
I bought a new sd card and tablet won't see it.
But in phone that sd card could be read.
What is the problem?
I tried to format sd card but the same.
Also the sd card from phone could be read in tablet, that is strange
Make sure the SD card is formatted in FAT32 so the Tablet can read it.
Im having issues with my SD card. My phone will not allow me to move files from the internal storage to the external SD card. Whenever I try to set my sd card as the download location (for the browser and Adownloader) nothing will download. Any suggestions guys ...thanks
Ps im rooted and tried moving files using root explorer
I think you need something called "directory bind"
Hello to everyone,
may be you can help me. I tried to port a rom from another device(MT6589) to my phone(MT6589).
So i copied app and framework from other rom to my rom. I checked vold.fstab too. They were same. I flashed my phone and it is working really good.
But i have a problem, the internal and external storage are mounted. But apps are not finding them. Camera app says "please insert a sd card".
I can see my Internal and external SD-Cards with Root Explorer or with MiFile Explorer. I can copy files or delete files.
Under Root -> /mnt/ -> SDCard
I don`t any have any idea anymore. Maybe can someone give me a clue.
Best regards,
Mad
Hello. I have sm-j500h device. Last week I used foldermount on android 6.0.1. It said system/bin/vold and system/bin/sd card need to be fixed. Click to fix them. After clicking it reboot and I saw my sd apps gone But sd card was still functioning in es file explorer. I found a tutorial in foldermount official page so I deleted system/bin/sd card and renamed system/bin/sd card.backup to system/bin/sd card. I also deleted system/bin/vold and renamed system/bin/vold.backup to its normal name. After all of these I reboot and saw my phone says sd card is corrupted. I can't mount other sd cards right now. I also flashed marshmallow Rom but I still can't mount sd as card and it says corrupted. I also format my a.c. card but still no change.
Any solutions and tips will be appreciated.
Same problem with sd card corrupted.
Hi, I had a similar problem, I had to delete and rename those files because my smartphone did not start. The smartphone now works perfectly but the sd card appears damaged, even though it works perfectly.
Did you find any solution to help me?
Thank you very much!
