Hi,
I both a new A100, I put the Sd card and downloaded some epub files (saved in the SD card, acording an incomming message. But I can't access the SD card, where to find it to open the downloaded files. I need another app, or it's other way.
Can somebody help me?
SD Card is mounted in \mnt\external SD. You may need to navigate up,you might be starting in \mnt\sdcard
I'm having the same problem here
Is there any way i can put everything I downloaded directly on the sd card instead of internal. Like files I downloaded they went to my internal instead of my sd
please reply thank you

Just switched over from an Evo 3D and swapped my old 32gb sd card. Opening the native file manager, or Astro, or es file manager have all come up empty when exploring the sd card. Weird thing is that my pictures still show up in the gallery as well as all my music in the music app but not in any file managers.
Another strange issue is that I am unable to download anything from the browser, k don't know if this is related to the sd card so I am hoping to hear if anyone figured out how to get around this. Also, I am unable to mount USB dried when plugged into the computer. I appreciate any help you guys can provide.
Try exploring external_sd. SD is the phones storage and not the card you put in.
....
I am trying to get used to this as well! I think the folder named "sdcard" should ACTUALLY be the sdcard!

Does this mean done apps that utilize the sd card will have issues or even not work at all?
same question here...i have a sub dir called /sdcard/external_sd But if you want an app to use the SD card it will use /sdcard, not the external_sd...so is it a total waste to put a microsd card into this phone, since I will only be able to utilize the space if i manually copy **** to that directory????
If you move an app to the "SD card" in the manage applications it will move it to the actual SD card. It won't put it on the internal storage.
yesterday i flashed ics on my a100
i followed the instructions here and it worked
then I did a factory data reset and rooted my a100.
but now the problem:
when I connect my tablet to the pc, I see the internal storage and the sd card. on my a100 I see the internal storage and the sd card, too. but the sd card shows not the correct data. for example I have two videos on the sd card, but can't see them. the same with apk's. when I put them on the internal storage, I can see them with a file explorer(I tried different...ever the same). but the sd card is recognized, when I unmount and mount it.
can someone help me?
EDIT: I formatted my sd card. in the settings it shows that the sd card ist empty. but when I start a file explorer, it shows folders on the sd card. it seems like the file explorer apps didn't update the sd card file system??
Its worth noting that file explorer apps from the market default to /mnt/sdcard which is in fact your internal storage, if using astro you can navigate to /mnt/external_sdcard which is in fact your SD card

thank you!
before I flashed ICS I had no problem. ...learning from mistakes
Hi,
Just changed my phone because the other one was dead. I have a 16 gig external sd card and if I remember correctly on my other phone I had a folder externalsd or something in the root. Now the only place I see my external sd card is under /mnt. If I use recovery it does not see the external sd card. Am I missing a link or something?
Thanks,

Try updating your cwm from clockworkmod. com. The newest version should recognize your external sd card. Also, it's normal to show up under mnt.

Anyone else experiencing problems with their micro sd cards? I have a 32 Gb class 10 micro sd card installed and it shows that I only have 200 mb of available space on my external card. The card is empty so how is this possible? Any ideas??

Did ya format it with phone
Most likely an issue with your card not the phone. I definitely haven't had an issues nor have I heard of any
Something similar is happening to my sd card
I am experiencing something similar, i first noticed when trying to copy a zip file to the sd card to install a rom and the zip file didnt show up.
My problem is that i am not able to copy anything to the sd card or delete anything from the sd card. I am however able to copy files from my the sd card to the computer. I have tried formatting it from an android phone,pc,cmd but after the format is done i have the exact same files that were on the sd card. Its strange because after formatiing on my pc it shows the sd card as empty but once i disconnect and re-connect the sd card all the files are somehow back on to the sd card and are not corrputed or anything because i can still play music and view images?
Got a 64Gb card in mine with no problems at all. Shows the same space as it did on my Note 3.

Had the exact same problem with my son's sd card on another phone about a month ago. After too many hours trying different things, I ended up having to throw it out.
It turns out that it's because of the new Android 4.4 update. Google has decided to do away with ability to give permission to write on our sd cards and it is creating quite the uproar everywhere. For those of you that haven't yet encountered these issues, that's only because you aren't running latest Android OS. They mentioned that there might be a fix in the next version of Android Lollipop. But for now, we are left with only one other alternative and that is to root our devices and allow permissions to write to sd cards.

Hi! I have a Sprint LS992 LG G5. I have a 200 GB SD Card. I can't save any files to my phone via the SD Card nor write anything to the SD Card. If I try to download something to the SD Card or have an app write to the SD Card, it will error out. I can, however, transfer files from computer to the SD Card. Is there a possible other pathway in the file explorer to access the SD Card? Currently, using Solid Explorer, my SD Card sits on /storage/BBF5-E792. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

You can save stuff to the sd card. You have to download whatever your downloading and use your stock file manager and move it to your external card. Other file managers will not work.

I downloaded things to internal memory and then was able to move it using Solid Explorer. It is such mickey mouse bull**** that you can't just download directly to the SD card. I only have 32 GB of internal memory space (which isn't enough) and having to move things from internal storage to an sd card is cumbersome and tedious. If you (or I for that matter), figure out a way to directly download to the sd card (which may mean using solid explorer to find another file name path to the sd card) I'll let you know!
