It seems that some apps that I try to install cannot be installed , and an error message stating that it cannot be installed on usb storage or SD card appears. These apps include farm tower, angry birds etc. I only got those errors recently.
Rcmixhd Rom.
I am having the same issue, I cannot move or install any of the apps to my SD card. Am using HTC desire with 2.2 Froyo.
Even unmounting and mounting the SD card didn't help. Now formatting my 16GB card, hoping it will solve the problem.
I just had this problem, and eventually found the solution in the Google technical help forum for Android Market (I can't post links here yet). The thread is titled "Installation Unsuccessful - Unknown reason -18".
The fix is to delete a rogue temporary file called smdl2tmp1.asec from the /sdcard/.android_secure directory. It's a hidden file, so if you can't see it using phone apps like Astro, plug the phone into a PC and use windows explorer to open the SD card. It should be visible for deletion then.
On my evo 4g I had this problem installing various apps like angry birds etc. I tried a few tricks and googled it like crazy and I found one solution was to unmount the sd card install and then remount which was cumbersome. I found a better and seemingly permanent solution. Hook your phone up to your computer via usb and open your sd card. Inside they'll be a folder called "android secure " (without quotations). Open it and inside they'll be a file called smdl2.tmp or something very similar to that. I deleted that file from my sd card and problem solved with no adverse effects.
Edit. The file is smdl2tmp1.asec .delete that and your good.
I had the same problem, not being able to download apps from the market. I managed to get it working a little while ago with the following steps:
1. Dismount SD card
2. Download/install any app from market
3. Re-mount SD card
You should now be able to download apps without having to dismount/remount SD card.
Hello,
I've come across this tutorial which shows you how to set your primary storage to your external hard drive HERE. I open a terminal emulator and run these commands as I was having problems running from ADB. After checking with pm get-install-location, i get 2-external. but I still have no space to install on my 64GB SD Card. am I missing something? I'm starting to wonder if this is setting the location to my emulated SD card.
Could someone help out?
The blog post is from November 2012 which is ancient history in Android development. I don't think you can expect it to work on Lollipop.
Hi,
I have recently bought new 64GB Micro SD Card and when i inserted and tried to download directly on card i get error using ES File Explorer. Cannot even move the files from internal memory to sd card ? is there any protection setting ? how can i use ES File explorer to download files via FTP directly to SD Card ?
Please help....
First of all take the sdcard out and hook it up to a pc, do a full write to the sdcard using a program like H2testw 1.4 or USB Flash Drive Tester, Chkflash...etc, there are alot of counterfit cards out there that will appear to work initially but break or erase data as they fill up...
if that test passed and it is a real sdcard then you might have to root your device if it's running kitkat , it's a bug in kitkat where you can't write to the sdcard....if you are rooted you can override this problem.

Thanks for information. I have Genuine Samsung Evo Card and speed test i got is 20MB/sec. So i think i need to root the tab in order to get writing access. But what if i need to update to Lolipop soon when it comes out ? i would be able to update via USB using samsung kies even though i have rooted my tab ?
Thanks...
Use the pre-installed Samsung file manager. It has the right permissions to copy to SD card.
If copying from WiFi, you have to use es file explorer first to copy to onboard storage. Then Samsung file manager to move it from local to SD card. Annoying, but I think it's the only way unless you root
OK, maybe a bit late to the party, but I've found a way to make it work. I've installed Total Commander from the Google Play store. Just opening it shows the address to the sd card. Connect to the Android Device via FTP (Say, through ES File explorer to set it up as a ftp server). In the directory bar of your ftp client type /storage/*address* where *address* is the address shown in Total Commander. You can then navigate trhough the SD card directories to your heart's content.
I want to store the data of ann app on my sd card, but I can't find the path to enter in the app's configuration.
I tried
sdcard1/test/
/mnt/sdcard1/test/
just creates a folder in the internal system.
In the filemanager it does not show the path (used to in older versions, which was very handy)
