New Atrix, unmodded. Tested on default storage setting set in either internal storage, or sd card.
16g sd card.
Card contains music, books and pictures.
File manager of the phone can see it and folders on it just fine, music player can see music files on it just fine.
Market bought music player( Power Amp) does not see SD card, it can only see internal storage as SD card.
Cool Reader- same- it thinks internal memory is SD card.
Neither can browse to the SD card.
Both apps worked with droid x and nexus s phones succesfuly before.
Apps that have ability to browse internal memory (tiny player and fbreader)- can go to /sdcard-ext/ and find files there.
Is there any way to make sure that apps, that are built to use SD card for their media would be able to see and use SD card, instead of "virtual" SD on the Internal Storage?
Thank You

Hi,
I had the same issue with a app called Slideshow Bob. I came from a Samsung Captivate and the file system was such that the external card was seen as a subdirectory of the internal card. I never had a problem with this arrangement in apps. However, the Atrix sees the external card as completely separate and some apps simply could not "see" the external card. My solution? I used a different slideshow app. Not exactly the ideal solution, but I had spent enough time trying to work around it. I don't know how other android devices have the external card arrangement, but this may be a bigger issue than we'd like until app developers change their apps or Motorola decides to change it's storage arrangement. Hope this helps.
Thank you for your answer,
using different apps is a work around.
I used different one- moved my content to the internal storage.
Both work.
What I realy would like to see is - those apps work as intended, the way they do work in most android phones from Droid to Nexus S.

Has anyone tried to replace the Music folder on internal storage with a symbolic link to the Music folder on external? Not sure if Android supports symbolics or not...
Should have known it would'nt be this easy. Tried it on existing SD and found that symbolic links are not supported on FATx. Reformatted my SD to EXT3/2 and booted back up. I get a SD format not recognized error.
Good day guys and hope you can help me with this. Im running Miui 2.1.6 with Siyah kernel 3.3.1, my problem is my internal sd and external sd cards being swapped or thats how the system views it. whenever i try to move apps from phone to sd card whether via app manager or apps 2 sd it moves my apps to my external sd card which is annoying. im only using my external sd card for media and not for my apps. after moving those apps it creates a .android_secure folder on my external sd with .asec files on it. im assuming that this is a problem with how the phone identifies my internal & external sd cards, i tried removing my external sd card and again tried to move apps to sd card and it says it doesnt have enough space which is crazy because my sd card has 6GB free space on it.
Hi,
Is there a way that I can by default set up all sync data, videos and pictures to save automatically to my Micro SD Card?
I would like to leave the USB storage (Internal Memory to Apps)
I have noticed that I can view the data on my micro SD card via the File Manager Application. However when I load the SD card into my PC I cant see all the data on the card what can I do to change this?
Does anyone know if the GS2 will except a 64GB micro SD Card?
When an app is installed and has access to your SD card, can that app access anything on the SD card? Photos, etc.
I am not a developer, but as I understand it the SD cards are a FAT file system which does not allow for file system permissions. This is needed because they are removable and the data needs to be accessible by other apps once inserted into another device. Does this make any data stored on the SD card readable by potentially malicious apps that have access to or are installed on the SD card?
Is there any apps that allows us to play Game data/obb on external sd card? i know some apps like Link2sd,foldermount,app2sd. but they seemed to be not working on recent android version. the only option i have now is to format external sd card as internal storage but it's kinda useless cause it cant move game data to external sd card,only the apk file. i also have option to 'Migrate' to external sd card and this one will allow me to move game data/obb to external sd card but my internal sd card will be useless and unaccessible. i have 64b internal storage and i want to keep my apps on internal storage for performance purposes. i just want to put and play some of my game data to external sd card.

Check in Xposed installer. they might have some modules. I'm not so sure. But it should be worth a try
