I am having an issue with my epic 4g touch. The phone is confusing the internal memory and the external sd card. So when I download something it ends up going into the internal from music to apps. In the settings/storage it says I have things on my sd card but if I go to it in root explorer, it shows nothing. My problem is that when I flash a new rom and do a nandroid backup, the backup disappears on me. I will put the backup on the sd card but when I go back to it, it's gone. It doesn't show up on the internal either. The last time I flashed a rom I got stuck with no backup. Needless to say I am a little scared to try again. It has done this with two separate sd cards. Please help? I am confused. Does anyone else have this problem?
I have had some similar issues. For me it doesn't acknowledge my external sd card alot of times lately.

Have you tried removing and formatting the MicroSD card through Windows?
(Or mount as USB in FI03 and format that way)
Please help .....I could not move files my photo,music,video & apps files from my Samsung Note II internal memory(sdcard0) to external memory 16GB(ExtsdCard) .Everytime I try - it says "moving failed" .I even tried to install apps that do this task like "Move2SD" app. that also did not work.. after searching I could not find anything related to how to move files from internal(sdcard0) to external(ExtsdCard) more worst....I cannot even make folders on the ExtsdCard. Everytime I try - it says "creation failed" .Can anyone tell me how to do this? Thanks....etc. Regards .:crying:
I guess you could take the ex sdcard out of the note2 and put it into your computer. Create the folders you want. then connect your note 2 to the computer. Copy the files from the note2 to the ex sdcard. When finished put the ex sdcard back into your note2.
Hope that helps.

You CANNOT natively move apps to the ext. SD card on the Note II OR the Galaxy S III. There are no apps that will work to do this on these phones any longer. Search the forums for the MOD to sway your Internal and External SD cards if you want but it seems that you have a 16G card and also a 16G device correct? If so then this mod really wont do much for you to save storage space...
Moving failed, or delete failed.

Please note that files was mentioned. He(??) did not try to move an app. He tried to move data in a folder. Why can't that be done when there is a settings menu under My Files that allows you to re-direct those same folders?
I am having the same problem after I tried the SManager with the apps2Note2 script. It worked for 2 days then all of a sudden the swap was gone with my files and folders missing. I know they have to be there somewhere but I can't find them on the system anywhere. I believe it may have changed my storage mount settings when it became corrupt. I uninstalled it and reinstalled with know luck of the swap happening again.
I may have to Reinstall my ROM. I wish I could repair it.
I would surmise that you have a faulty card

Please help m having the same problem
I upgraded to sotmax jb 4.3 v13 v2 it is one of the best roms. But since thei haven't been able to move files from internal sd card to external sd card as it always says moving failed. Please find a solution. My internal sd card is almost full and my laptop has gone for repair.
I've been struggling to find a fully working rom for the HTC One V, it's been frustrating. I can find one that has nearly everything working but 1 thing (like the camera or something) Installed both CM9 and CM10 and both work great and are really fast EXCEPT for one big issue that affects a few things.
Most of the apps can't see the external SD card. The camera tells me to insert an SD card before taking pictures and USB storage just doesn't work unless I unmount the SD card, which doesn't always work.
Anyone else had this issue? Is there a fix? It makes the camera unusable
Have you tried backing up the data on the SD and doing a wipe? Sometimes doing an SD wipe on the phone itself helps

Same with me - m on galaxy grand.. Any fixes ?
Same here
I have the same problem. I just rooted my phone and installed the latest RC version of cyanogenmod. However in the file manager I can see my SD card and look at whats on it but no apps realises that there actually is an SD card. Like described above I can't take any photos, watch pictures from the SD card, or do anything because the rom only states "no storage available". Very weird. I have tried mount the SD card, formatting the SD card, reboot the phone but nothing works! Help anyone?
Hi Folks,
So I installed Redpill and sure enough the ex SD was swapped to internal giving me 32gb memory so I started downloading my stuff onto it bit now any updates or any new apps will not download to it even though there is still 19gb left on it instead it seems to be trying to download to the original internal memory which is full.
this issue is such a pain for such a great phone
please help

Nothing
You really can't expect to be able to do that without a hitch. Check out directory bind. It's not perfect either but it seems more reliable than swapping the whole sd card with internal

Interesting if you boot into trwp can that see your sd card? So under storage the sd card isn't visible at all? Have you tried formatting it?

Yes, I can see it fine under TWRP. I thought maybe it couldn't recognize exFAT, so I formatted it to EXT4. But it's still not showing up at all.

That is weird, do you have another android peripheral that you could prospectively format the card in and try? Alternatively you could wipe and reinstall. I blew away the android internal storage and installed from my SD, just about everything works except the sd storage option. That's an issue storage and app wise so I may go back to marshmallow lineageos if I can't sort it.
Failing that back to stock lollipop should that fail.

I don't have another android device, but I do have a linux machine, (actually, I only run Linux in my home), and I can read and write the card no problem in my desktop machine. I haven't tried it on my HTPC/Plex server yet, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. On stock Lollipop, I can see the card, but it's read only. Oh, I should have been clearer. I can see the card on the tablet, but it doesn't display anything. It says "contents not found", and I can't enable writing to it for Root Explorer.

That is weird you got me stumped, other than a rebuild I got nothing. Try the card in a mate's phone if possible better than wiping the unit first.
If that doesn't work I got nothing. Truth be said I'm no expert, I try my best.
Hi all
I updated the Lineageos ROM the AOSP I had no hardware issues or software issues on the OS. However please note that if you use this ROM for some reason you will lose the TWRP Recovery.
I installed the AOSP ROM 7.1.1 first, didn't reboot and then installed the Gapps file, upon reboot it stayed on the splashed screen, so I then booted into the standard recovery and wiped/factory reset the unit, all good since and it is running smoothly, just wanted you to let you know that the Lineage ROM isn't the only option.
I also had the options for the SD card and UI System tweak was also there, good luck. If anyone wants assistance I am happy to assist.
Soks

Hey mate I found an alternate fix and everything works, look at AOSP rom and let me know if you have any questions.

I have also a problem with the SD card. I have the newest build and the SD card is seen in the settings and also in file manager can read/write, but other apps somehow don't see it, I cannot set the camera to save photo to external storage, also in Google play music I cannot choose to store music to external card, the options are not there. On my Galaxy S5 also with Lineage it works perfectly. Secondly, in the settings I can only format the SD card as portable, not as internal, but that would not bother me if the apps would see the card and I could use it as storage.
Solution for sd card write issue?
Did you ever find a solution? I have the same devices and exactly the same problems.

Have the same problem on my SM-P605 - have had problem since at least the 20170713 nightly build when I started using LineageOS (am currently running 20170830 nightly).
The SD card appears under settings - I can format and eject the SD card, it appears under /mnt/media_rw/76AC-17ED, but
doesn't appear as a SD card in Amaze file manager
doesn't appear as a SD card in ESExplorer (only Internal Storage appears on the home page)
I cannot set the camera location to save photos on it
doesn't appear under /storage (i.e. /storage/76AC-17ED)
It's as if the storage is mounted, but isn't flagged as being a SD card.
Any ideas -- anyone??

I think I found a solution your problem. Well, it worked for me.
Firstly I backed up my SDCARD
Then went to Settings, Storage Settings tabbed on SD card and tab on options [three dotted things].
Formatted my sd card as internal, when I went back to my applications there was an option to move them to external.
[WARNING]One problem is that if you format it as internal it will not show as different storage systems on your pc WILL SHOW AS SHARED STORAGE!!!!
******** I Had So Many Issues I Would Not Recommend It *********
Hope that helps you

Thanks for the suggestion - but didn't work.
When I click the three-dotted-things only option I see is (under Storage settings) is "Format". I format the card - but still cannot move apps to it or set as camera location.

Manual Fix
Hi.
I just got it running on Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition (LTE).
This guide worked for me: modaco.com / news / android / heres-how-to-configure-adoptable-storage-on-your-s7-s7-edge-r1632
Guide also referenced in this German HowTo: androidpit.de / micro-sd-als-internen-speicher-formatieren
I did the 50:50 format on my 200GB SD card.
Please remove the blanks in the links. Had to put them in because forum software did not allow me to include links.
