Hello Guys,
is it possible to deactivate the device encryptin on the Xperia 1?
Just found out that files on internal storage can't be read bei Astro File Manager or by Windows Explorer on my Windows 10 Laptop. Only one filemanager for Android can see the internal storage of the device. That's vary annoying because I backup my data with my Laptop to save pictures and backup WhatsApp media and other files.
The SD card can be encrypted and decrypted on the fly but the internal storage doesn't.
Kind regards
Stefan

Have pics on my rooted atrix's external sd card. Astro bluetooth nor bluetooth file trans app show the sd card even when browsing from the phone. Is there a "right" way to do this? Some way to make the sd discoverable as a drive?
I know I could move to internal storage on phone then using astro btooth upload to tab or use tab to find the file. But the folder is too big to put on the phones internal. And of course there's dropbox but isn't there an easy direct way to browse the phones ext sd from my tab?
If the answer involes vpn, kies or adhoc could u plz explain.
Thanks all!
you can download root explorer or another file browser that has access to all of your folders. Of course you need to root your tablet before.
And that has bluetooth file transfer? I have rooted the tab.
When in phone I use ES File Explorer, all files and folders show fine.
But when i mount the phone via USB some of the folders and files (app files) are invisible, if i try to copy them from PC to the same place as I did before, it says it cannot copy (the ones with the same names already exist, just invisible for some reason).
Any idea why it happens?
I never see something like that with SGS2 and HTC Sensation
Hi there,
Do you have the files on your SD card or on the internal storage of the phone?
I got the same issue and I got the files on my SDCard which is exFat formatted... I guess the exFat system causes the issue with my files...
This is with 64GB Sandisk microSDXC card
So, do you mean that we need to make it NTFS?
I am having this same issue. I have also 64GB exfat. So far I haven't found a solution. I tried to unmount the card in the phone and it did show all the files for awhile but then most of the files disappeared again. Hopefully someone can solve this annoying issue.
Could you tell us what kind of files are hidden for you?
I have some APK files and folders with APKs hidden
I have music folder which includes lots of music files (most of them mp3) and also folder with JPEG files which aren't visible.
Hello,
when inserting an external SD card, the internal memory card is then mounted as sdcard1 and the inserted external card is mounted as sdcard0. So Android starts writing a lot oft data to the external SD card.
How can I avoid this? Android should not touch the external SD card. I want to copy pix, music and backup manually to it.
Any suggestions?
Hi just go to settings =storage and then change default write disk to phone storage

Hello,
and you have tested this by yourself? If I insert an external SD card, switch to "default write disk to phone storage" and delete ALL data on this SD card, Android
immediately starts to write to data on it:
The folders "LOST.DIR", ".thumbnails" and "Android" are created. In the folder "Android" there is the folder "data" with several App-Data in it.
Even some Apps like WhatsApp start to write data to the external SD card.
So, switching to "default write disk to phone storage" does NOT keep Android away from writing data to it.
For example, on my Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 the external SD card is mounted as "sdcard1" and no files are written to it automatically.
I browsed the web for hours, but did not find any solutions for this problem. It is not a big thing, but it is annoying.
:crying::crying::crying:
I have the same problem also on an old smartphone with MT6582 processor and Android 4.1.2.
It's an old problem, I think that it's a way of manage memory for smartphones based on MTK processors and there aren't solutions.
But I would like this to be denied
What about changing sdcard1 and sdcard0 , in the mount point file:

You must be root.
When i have time to root my phone i will try.
I am having the same problem and it is very annoying. Why can't Android leave alone my Sdcard? I only want to storage music and some files there.
@yascooluk
Settings =>storage => default disk write storage "Phone" has no effect. Lots of Apps point to sdcard0, which is now the external sdcard.
@ndouchin
This Solution worked for Android Versions prior 4.3. In Android 5.1 there is no vold.fstab file, and swapping mounting points works differently now, but i didnt' figure it out yet.
Yes you are right, fstab is in boot.img in lollilop, if I believe what I read ;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2426804
Maybe try to unpack and pack boot.img:

Sorry I have no time to work on my device , i have not already rooting it, and the internal memory is enough for me.
I've managed to root my device, but i'm not skilled enough to do this boot.img operation. Too many things that can go wrong. As the source code for this device was already released, I'll wait and hope until some developer can find a solution.
XinternalSD is the solution. Try it. regards

Hi P9000 users!
I had now time to test some stuff with my P9000. One question: I inserted a Sandisk 128 GB SDXC Card (UHS) and formatted as internal Storage (want to move apps). Worked fine for the Phone and i was able to move apps to the SD. But after connecting Phone to USB (via MTP & unlocked phone) it only shows 32 GB internal SD. Also via File Explorer app on the phone i cannot find the external SD or mountpoint....
Anyone with same issue? I also changed connection-type to USB and then my OS (Win 10) does not open phone file system at all.
thx and br

We did an article about the SD card memory management in Marshmallow a while ago on the XDA portal that explains this, I'd suggest googling for it as I can't remember the title.
Edit: Something to do with the SD card being formatted as Ext4 (linux file system standard these days) and Windows not supporting Ext4 filesystems.
Thx for reply, so i am afraid its related to Android 6 default behaviour. So if SD is formatted as internal storage you cannot access via USB from PC or managing files on it via file browser app? Thats really disappointing for me since it then switches SD card to enhanced app storage only, useless for image, videos, music etc. Of course i can format as portable SD, but then no movement of apps are possible (via root its maybe the only option).
In SD portable mode, i also had issue that SD cards randomly disconnects and one time it even needed to be reformatted. Have read about that in another thread, that this is related to physical sd mount... will see to fix this with some tape :/ (gives me not a good feeling here)

Update: checked some forums and blogs, seems not to be android 6 default behavior that you completely cannot access the files on adopted SD-card anymore. after adopting as internal storage... anyone could also reproduce this? I will try doing factory reset with SD-Card inserted..
Hi,
is it possible at all, and if, then how, to replace SD-card for shared storage with a different one?
Thanks!
You mean for apps?
Best way to use the SD card is as a data drive only; all critical data goes there.
The internal memory is used for the OS, apps, download folder and temporary data only.
