Hi guys,
So i used this movetoSD app i found on the market to move files because the internal memory on the DHD is small.
Occasionally i take out my SD to use a card reader as its faster copying files.
Upon putting it back into my phone (note its powered down when i remove the card), all the apps i moved to SD are now corrupted and i have to remove and add them all again.
How can i avoid this?

Hey guys,
My HTC Desire is not rooted and when I mount the sd card using the usb cable and then I took out the cable. Some of the applications icons are mission, the icon is replaced by the default Android icon. And when I click on them, it says application not found.
How do I solve that problem?
By not putting them on the sd card

That's not a very helpful response from you.
Anyone else?
Are you trying to install new apps pt placing the .apk files directly on the SD card?
If you want to install new apps from your computer use HTC sync to install the apps instead of mounting your SD card from your phone. HTC sync sends the apps to your system's app directory (can't remember the full path right now) where its installed properly.

He's right though.....
If you're connected to your PC in disk drive mode, then anything on your sd card is unavailable to the phone - including music and any apps you have installed or moved to the sd card. If there's apps you need to use whilst connected in disk drive mode then move them to your device storage - options to do that are in the Applications bit under the system icon.
As in, I mean when I mount the sd card to put in songs and files then after dismounting the sd card, which means I plug off the cable already and the applications do not open.
what, straight away or after a while?
sometimes it takes 30 seconds to a minute for the sd card to remount.
and if you have widgets on the sd card then quite often you need to restart to get them to display again.... widgets on the sd card are a big no-no because of this.
not that I used to worry too much, but I always now use 'safely remove hardware' in windows rather than just unplug - seems to resolve any problems with sd card corruption.
I have been loading all the roms and just realised my sdcard is getting filled.. therefore can format my sdcard?? Will it remove the rom or change the S-off or brick my phone??
Can replace my 8gb sdcard with 32gb sdcard? Should i do anything extra to make sure it remains rooted?
Can force close be caused only by software issues or even hardware?? I ask this coz a month back i had dropped my phone and it did not start for couple of hours. After that i have being having issues with many roms and many apps esp market force closing and the clockwork recovery not flashing properly...

Your OS is installed in the internal storage of your device, not your SD Card. Formatiing your SD Card does nothing to your ROM at all. Force Closing is most probably a permission issue. Try Fix Permission in ROM Manager.

Do you mean you are keeping the ROM files, and/or nandroid backups on your SD card? After you flash a ROM, you can get rid of the zip file. Or copy it to your desktop computer, if you think you might want it again in the future.
Similar thing with nandroid backups. I usually just keep the most recent one on my SD, and move the rest to my PC.
Some apps save data to the SD card. If you want to upgrade to a larger SD, just copy the files you need (or think you might need) to your desktop computer from the SD, then copy them to the new SD card, and swap the cards out. Upgrading the SD card is that simple.

Not the zip files but the original rom which installed.. i asked this bcoz when rooting i had to create gold card change the value and so on.. so i wasn't sure if that would be affected if i formatted the sdcard or deleted all the folders ..
i have trying out many softwares, and now i dont even remember which is ones i have removed and which is need(lots of folders, some where created by some roms i hard tried)... since i always backup imp data on my pc.. i have no worries there..
just wanted to clean up whole thing since i have figured out all most all the sw i will need..

Hi!
I just installed the UK Jelly Bean ROM on my Galaxy Ace 2 and i haven't noticed any issues while using the phone. However, when I try to copy a big file to my sd card connecting the phone to the computer (using mass storage mode), the copy process just freezes. Connecting the SD Card to a normal SD adapter works, there are not any issues copying files that way, but it's imposible to copy files using the phone. Any way to fix this?
Thanks!

I thought I was the only one! I don't think there's a fix for it, not as if Samsung care. Be careful, because of how many times I've had to re-copy files and the constant freezing my SD card was destroyed!

Yeah, that is really annoying, you are not the only one. I've noticed that on MB2 as well, I thought it was a problem in the leak version but it seems they did not bother fixing it. I don't think there is a fix apart from using MTP rather than mass storage for now. Or use apps like AirDroid (or similar) to copy files via WiFi/Data.

It may not be completely destroyed - have you tried running chkdsk /f (or fsck on linux) on your SD card? That saved my card anyway
I usually just take the SD out now and put it into a card reader, I don't like MTP or the hassle of other apps. Besides, I never use the internal SD anyway.
It's definitely dead, I've tried everything from low level formats to what you mentioned. Completely dead, like the one I had before it.. My last phone and the Ace have went through a 32gb SanDisk, 16gb SanDisk and a temporary 4gb no name card in the space of just over a year.
I've had a SanDisk Mobile Ultra 8gb in for a while now and it appears to be working fine so I'm quite happy atm

So, just realized that using a Micro SD with the Note 2 isn't as easy as just inserting one in. I'm reading that the phone has to be rooted and some other apps have to be downloaded in order for the SD card to be used with the phone. Is that the case? So, if the phone isn't rooted the SD card is useless?
Pictures and videos and any music you may download all go there keeping them off the internal memory makes the SD card very useful.

I believe you were given some very wrong information. You can use a micro SD card on a non rooted phone and no apps have to be downloaded to use one.

That's weird and confusing. I found this info on youtube. The other thing, why isn't my phone recognizing the SD card then? Well, it shows on top but I can't store anything on it as if the phone doesn't recognize it's in.
Maybe its upside down..lol
But you'll need to reboot after inserting it. The phone should say preparing SDCard. Or you can mount it in settings.
Open your camera app and set the storage to Memory Card then you can use your file manager to move your other files to the sdcard..
Also, if you use your browser to download things, you can set the default to the sdcard as well.

Android 4.2.2 jellybean stock unrooted:
My son loves the gameloft iron man game. With this phone I can move the app (45mb) to external SD card. But the data for the game (1GB+) stays on the phones sd card (STORAGE/SDCARD0/ANDROID/OBB). And if I try to manually move the game data to (STORAGE/EXTSDCARD/ANDROID/OBB) it does not recognize it. Why would it give us the option to move the app to external sd card, but not also move it's data (often being the largest part of the app). Doesn't that defeat the purpose of this feature?
Same issue with co-pilot gps app; I can move the app but not the 1GB of map data.
Do I need to change a file somehow to make the system look at the external sd card instead of the phone sd card for its data?
BACKGROUND:
I love Android 4.2.2 jellybean on this phone (I'm stock; unrooted).
And I loved when I saw that you could once again move apps to the external SD card. (It took me back to the days on Android gingerbread 2.3.4 when I could save all my phone memory and put almost all my apps on my SD card.)
But I found out that although you can move the app, any data for those apps remains on the phone sd card.
See 2 examples above.
Use folder mount its easy setup. It "redirect" any sdcard/folder to the extsdcard/foder

I need a means that does not require root.
Why would it allow me to move the app without root; but require root to move the data.
This seems like a Samsung flaw, or an Android 4.2.2. flaw.
Does kitkat move apps and their data to external sd card?

This is an Android thing bro. KitKat would be the same. There's few app that can do the job, but most (if not all) requires root.
I could agree that it was just an android thing if it didn't let you move apps at all (like ICS wouldn't). But it does let you move apps now without root, just not the data. Anyone else?
