Hi.
Now on EMUI 10 after OTA update.
Can access SD Card but cannot copy or move files to it. Have tried various apps including Solid and MiX Explorers. Access granted but action fails.
Any ideas?
i think it's a problem with 3rd party apps, the inbuilt file manager works
Fixed. As posted elsewhere I used FX Explorer to perform a copy to SD Card. I got the OS request to access the card, which I granted. Now, 3rd party apps (Memoria, MiX Explorer & Solid Explorer) can copy/move to the SD Card again ;o)

I noticed that the external SD card is only visible within the default file manager app. 3rd party apps are unable to view/browse the external sd card. Is it possible to work around this? I wish Samsung did it the traditional way here..

I too cant see it in Astro but is is visable in Root Explorer although the default location as changed and it took me a few minutes to find it, previously with the SGSII it was (in Root Explorer) when you clicked on SD Card > External SD but know the location is mnt > ext sd card

Yes I realised that too. It is very annoying! That made Astro practically useless!
Use Total Commander instead. It works fine ...
I use astro and can get to the Ext SD by going into Manage My Files then going Up one level to /mnt from /mnt/sdcard then the extSdCard folder is visible
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.

Hi I report a simillar issue to sony support 2 days ago. I understand that you need to modify of your external sd card within your explorer application.Here I have re: from sony support:
We would like to inform you that in Android™ version 4.4 (KitKat) third-party apps can only change SD card content that belongs to that app. If you, for example, want to move content on the SD card using Astro File Manger, it doesn't work in Android version 4.4 (KitKat).
This is a change introduced by Google. We cannot estimate whether this will be changed in future updates. In Android 4.4.2 Google has revised the usage of the SD card for third-party applications.
While downloaded third-party applications can read and open all compatible content on your SD card, they can not:
- create folders on the SD card
- copy or move contents on the SD card
- personalize the location of data on the SD card
Please note that preinstalled system applications still have full access to the SD card.
In coming software releases of Android 4.4, the File Commander file manager app will be preinstalled. Using the preinstalled File Commander, you will be able to edit, copy and move files belonging to any app (full read- and write-access to the SD card).

I think that with rooting your tablet and installing sdfix or xposed framework will fix your problem .....but you void your warranty
Jupp, thinking about selling my z2 as is already full 2 months after purchase

You need to 'trick' the file system into thinking your Ogg and or Android data directories are on the SD card.
Relinking manually via terminal, or using Foldermount both which require root is how it's done.

Android Nougat's own basic "File Explorer" doesn't reflect proper storage space!?
So here's the deal.
Since Nougat doesn't allow direct editing of SD card by 3rd party file managers, I started to use Android's own basic file explorer. (I created a shortcut using an app from the store).
Nougat's own basic File Explorer is simple, basic, clean and works well, except: After you move a file between internal storage and SD Card, although the files are moved, the free storage space don't reflect that change.
And the only fix to this is a restart. After a restart the File Explorer shows the proper Storage Space. But the issue still remains if you move any files again.

So does anyone have any idea why this is and how to fix this?
If not, are there any File Managers that can edit the SD Card (External Storage)?
Thnx for any help!
No one has any idea?
Hi, I have being having this error the last days. When I try to move a video file from the Downloads folder to the external SD card I get a message. The action is denied because it doesn't have superuser permissions. I have tried with two different explorers. I am using a BQ Aquaris 10 tablet, with Android 6.0. It happens with just some video files, I could move some others without any problem.
