External SD Card as default - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Can we make the external sd card the default place for files music and movies to be downloaded and played from ?

Try going into the browser and hitting settings and hitting sd under default storage and see if that does what you want it to

I could see how that would work if downloading through the browser, but not if you are downloading via other music apps?

music player wont open

my music player wont open everytime i try to open it it says "not enough space for music DB .Delete some items"
Try another sd card or formatting your sd card or you can try deleting stuff on your sd card but first also try another app first

What apps can and can't be moved to SD by Titanium?

Titanium backup has the capability to move apps to the SD card that normally won't go. I wanted to check everyone's success or failure on moving these stubborn or poorly written apps. Apps appear to move to sd card but do not work properly and others go just fine. Can we start a list? I will try to maintain it here. Thanks.

Thanks to lilajrestnom and TexasEpic4G for their contributions.
This is a great idea. This is most helpful. It would also be good to know what applications can be restored without causing a bunch of FCs. This is the reason I don't like saving applications to my SD card.

I haven't ever tried it tho too scared to lol
I move most of my games to sd card using titanium the main ones I don't put are widgets, launcher, lock screen apps, handcent and text message apps, mainly system type apps I don't move but all others go over and work fine

Kenny, you're not getting any examples. I'll try some of mine and let you know. One question; where in Titanium is the option to move apks to the SD card? I have the paid version and don't see it.

You can either go to batch and there will b a "move/integrate" section that allows u to choose what files to move on sd card
Or jut go to the normal "backup/restore" hold an app until the big menu pops up and near the bottom it says "move to sd"
Just a qestion... what does it really help with to move the apps to sd card? Just memory?

The phone has very limited storage...just 512MB and OS takes up almost 300MB of that. For people that are appaholics they need to store them on the SD card.

Ya I knew it was basically for memory and that helps the phone process better.. correct..?
Ill try and move some apps now and see what I can and still works
So I found out that some apps will not allow you to move them to the sd card or convert them to user app
But the xda app moved to sd card well and its working normally
I don't really use millions of apps so I don't have many to choose to move lol most of my apps r already made to be allowed to be saved on sd card but if I try more ill let you know
And I'm guessing apps like set cpu and screen filter will not work if there on the sd card..?

Just tried HBO GO, it moved successfully and works.
And Groupon, Iheart Radio and Qik work as well.
OP edited with more apps able to be moved.

In your camera settings there is an option where to save pictures and videos. The settings is called Data Storage and allows you to pick internal storage or SD card.
Now will that set the settings to save all pics videos to sd. The only other way is by computer or root. And I dont want to root yet till we get custom roms or are able to unroot The ion l. Cause Tue probpem im hqving is if someone sends me a photoe or video it wants to send it to internal and not give me an option for sd card.

No that setting will only store photos or videos you take to where ever you set it to. I don't think there is a way currently to have any pictures or videos sent to you to store on the SD card.
I was just wondering about sd card storage. The sd is actually "ext_card" right? I tried changing the xda app's download path to: "mnt/ext_card/xda_ download" but it still saves to "mnt/sdcard/xda_ download".
Would xda need to be running from the sd card to save to it?

Thats whatbi thought. Thanks ill just hqve to transfer them to my computer then back onbthe sd card.

You can use ES File Explorer to move them on your device.

Gallery won't show pictures

For some reason my gallery will not show pictures that are on my memory card. I have unmounted and reset the phone and still they will not show up. When I go into my file manager they still show up but they won't show up under gallery

I also have the same issue the sd card is a sandisk 64gb it works perfectly in other devices sometimes when i mount/unmount or cycle the phone power on and off (i have tried all kinds of things) sometimes it will come back for a while and then just quit for no reason when it is not showing any files it still shows in the settings as mounted and shows the size and free space correctly but says there are no files however i try to read it (ie the file browser, gallery, etc)

Moving apps to SD?

So there's low system storage on this device, and there's not an option to move the apps to the SD card. Is there any mod that will let me do it :/? And btw this phone is AWESOME!

From what I've read that's something with 4.2.2
They use the internal storage as a simulated sd, and the actual sd is a completely different thing, that you apparently can't put apps on. Good for movies, pictures, or any kind of media but it looks like app2sd is dead at this time
