I moved a bunch of apps to my SD card. I started having issues with the card unmounting on its own. After a couple days the card no longer works. Now I have ghost apps on my phone that I can't delete. It's in my app menu but not in my app list. When I go to the play store I can't uninstall it or reinstall it there either.
You might try taking the SD card out, putting it in a computer, and doing a chkdsk on it.

The card must be toast. It won't even read it.
You may need a new sd card. After that, follow my instructions here. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/help/note-8-to-sd-card-app-store-app-t3772813
You're a life saver thanks! It worked! I thought I was going to have to reset my phone.

Running ICScrewD ROM
Settings>Applications> Manage Applications> the On SD Card tab at the top, will move capable apps to the sd card.

Thanks for the reply guys but Im not trying to move my apps to the sd card . Im trying to make the data that the apps download go to the sd card
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
I don't think you can. The internal storage is mounted to /mnt/sdcard, and apps seem to always put their downloaded data on /mnt/sdcard. Only tip I can give is to move all your music, pics and videos to the external card to make room for the app data.
Or, move game data to the external sd card when you're not using it, then move it back when you want to play that game.

Wow that sucks. But your right. I guess that is my only option

Hey guys I figured out that cyanogen has that option to use internal or external sd for data storage. Is there a stock rom that offers it?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
No, at least not on any stock based android I've seen. Cyanogenmod was designed to be installed onto the ext sd card. The 'option' it gives is to use the internal, not the other way around. Technical difference, but nonetheless.
I've never seen a stock based 'prom' (that's for you gary) for any phone that had android installed onto the ext sd card.

I have ZDBOX installed on my nook tablet and used it to move apps to my sd card. The only problem is now I cannot find the apps. If I'm in ZDBOX, go to the App to SD tab, and click on - ON SD CARD, NOTHING is there! The app is also now missing from my App Manager. Did I lose the app? How can I find it? What's the use of having the SD card if I can't move anything to it!
Are you using the stock ROM? It does not play well with moving apps to the SD card. Not something B&N intended, I guess.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
Yes I am. So these apps are now lost?
If I recall correctly, that is the case. What is motivating you to move them to the SD card? By default, they are installed to the (larger) B&N partition.

Having this issue when I take a picture a message says I cannot store it on my sd card and saves it to the phone memory!
Anyone know what the score is with this.
I can read the card from "my files"
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Are you able to add/remove files on the card? If not, I had the same problem - the card effectively became read only permission-wise and I couldn't correct it. Ended up copying all files onto computer, formatting the card in the phone, and copying it all back and it's been fine since

For the second time, I have lost all pictures I've take with this phone that automatically get put in the camera folder. I have camera set to store on SD card. Gone. Can't find in file managers. Anyone have this happen or have an explanation? Or how to get them back? Stock, unrooted.

So it's set to store to external SD card? Hmm I'm just guessing here but maybe just an issue with the SD card,, have you tried reformatting it ? I'd either try that or swap it out with another card and see if it happens again. Maybe that card is corrupt.
Again I'm kind of speculating... since it's probably not a ROM issue since your stock unrooted

Have you tried putting the card into a computer and seeing if they are still there? You could always use Recuva once you put it in your physical computer. Also what kind of card is it? Size?

Its a 32g card. I've been using it for a long time. I will try your suggestion. Thank you.

Seems that I have no room left on my phone storage & tons of space left on my SD card. How can I get my phone to put everything on the card, by default??
Would this work: if I hook my phone up to my PC, then just took all the folders on my phone storage, and moved them to the Card. Would my apps & stuff still work or would doing that not be good??

I don't think just copying the apps will allow them to work. You can use Application Manager to move some apps to the sd card.
I went thru all my apps & moved whichever ones I was able to move. But I did that a long time ago. So I still have no room on my phone storage.

Move photos, downloads and any music on your phone to your SD card too. Then in your camera app go to settings and change the SD card as default.
Download the free version of SD Maid and use it to clean up old thumbnails and program files still on your phone from before you moved them.
I once deleted 2gb of photo gallery thumbnails from my phone with this app. You can also see which files are the largest on your phone and SD card to see if you can move or delete anything.
I have this app on my phone, tab, and my kids tabs to keep up with their memory and storage usage.

Thanks, I'm also running out of space, I'll give this a shot.
Tonight I was gonna try to just backup all my.stuff and then start over. I use GO launcher and I saw that I have GO backup on my phone, so I was gonna try to.use that. I started the app & it said my SD card is corrupted or damaged. I included a screenshot of what it said:
So would this be the reason why everything is on my internal storage instead of my card? Or is that message just something I.should ignore??

If you have a card reader unmount your SD card, take it out and try reading it on a computer. If you can read it I would copy everything off and put in a temporary folder on your desktop. Then format the card with the computer and put it back in the phone, format it using the phone and try your back-up again.
If it works put the card back in your computer and copy your files back. Be sure to unmount the card each time. Mine went corrupt once because I didn't.
How do I make the SD card, the default storage for everything? Or is that not possible...

You would have to change defaults on all your apps, camera is a big one.
