This issue occurs with multiple SD cards I have tried. I can write to the card using a file manager but when I try to move an app (Settings/Apps/Storage/Change) from Internal to SD Card, it starts the process but then reports "Not enough storage space." even though the card is essentially empty.
Any suggestions on how to correct this?
Thanks.

I'm on UnNamed 1.3.1, with an 8GB SD Card in there (a 32gb is on my x-mas list).
I go into the settings to try and move things to my SD card, I click on the move, but it doesn't actually move them. Whether they're listed as installed on the phone or on SD Card, it still resides on the phone memory.
If my internal memory is full, it tells me my sd card is full.
The camera app stores the photos on my sd card just fine, so the phone is seeing the external sd...
Halp?
bro, the same thing happened to me. the internal storage on your phone is also called an SD Card. So usually when Android refers to the SD Card, it means its internal storage. I use Astro file manager to move things, there's 'SD Card' and then 'ext_SD Card'. You can copy/paste from one to the other in there, it's really easy.
I recently purchased a 32gb card as my music is about 33gb, and I assumed that in addition to the internal memory this would allow me to load everything. However, most music programs recognize the internal memory and external card as two different devices, which obviously presents a problem.
Is there a way of mounting or a specific ROM that enables you to combine these two memory types so they will be recognized as a single drive on my computer? Essentially something that would increase the internal storage to the 11+29=40gb that are physically present on my phone, with no or very little SD Card storage being recognized.. I have googled around and found a few people with similar problems but no solution for the SGSII.
Thanks for any help.
This is the best what can be done on stock based ROMs.
I don't think you want to do that. What happens when you remove the card? I think you phone will freak/crash!
How do you get your phone to primarily use your inserted SD card and not the internal USB "SD card" or phone memory for apps/downloads/media its annoying when I tell the phone to use the "SD card" and it uses USB SD card (not actually my SD card)
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
Some apps seem to install to internal memory by default, and some to sd card if one is present.
Even more annoyingly however, many of the apps that default to SD card if you move them to internal memory MOVE BACK TO THE SD CARD when you update them.
Is there any way to prevent apps from automatically installing to the SD card? Or at the very least, installing to SD card is fine... but to prevent them from moving BACK to the sd card when you update them?
I've seen this question in 3 different topics on XDA and none of them is answered. My question is similar to this; Apps are installed on internal memory but app data is on external. As a result i have a completely empty internal memory and a full sd card. Tried possible suggestions on other sites but didn't work. Why can't we choose where to install the app data? How to move the app data back, since app2sd wouldn't work on this situation.
FYI, buy a bigger memory card is NOT a solution, it's a workaround for the actual problem..

Looks like your problem can be solved with "link2sd" which gives a permanent option on where to install apps. Search it in Google Play.
In my case (i have three different memory blocks) you have to do a repartition and a custom rom but i don't want to go there so i just mapped the drives with editing vold.fstab and bought a bigger memory card
upgraded to marshmallow and had both the internal sd and external sd as one (using it as storage)
This turned out to be a bad item and the external sd failed (possibly due to too many reads and rights)
I noticed my internal sd card stopped being able to install apps. On further inspection in Root Explorer external sd card is a folder, but 'sdcard' almost looks like an inaccessible link/normal everyday file. Pressing it in REplorer says that it's not mounted. Yet it is the internal sd card...I can also see how much space its components are taking up under 'storage' in Android OS.
My question is how do I fix this? Most apps get installed to internal sd. I have read on XDA that sometimes kitkat would make inaccessible/encrypt the internal sd card, how do I diagnose this is my problem ,and if I find out it is,how do I fix it?

I have a problem with my tablet not recognising the sd card. It is not specific to a particular card, I have tried 3 and they all behave the same. The cards function correctly in other devices.
When I go to Settings, Storage the card is not showing, only internal storage. However, if I go to My Files the SD card is showing and I can read to and write from the card.
When I go to Apps, choose an app and then choose Storage I have an option to move the app to external storage. When I choose this option I get a message saying there is not enough room on the card even though the card is essentially empty .
Can anyone suggest how I can get the SD card to show under Storage and also how to move apps to the card?
Thank you.
OK, my bad. The card does show under Storage, I just wasnt looking in the right place. However I still cant move apps to the card.
My internal storage is now nearly full and I have a totally empty SD card, would love to get a fix for this issue.
Thanks.
