hey guys, sorry to be trouble but frankly im just fed up, tried and searched everywhere, i have dhd with ARHD latest installed just the basic new rom by mike, lately ive been experiencing my phone rebooting everytime the apps load from the sd card, it just continuously reboots, i take sd card out and its all fine, tried many other cards and have the same issue, so somewhere someone said its because theres alot of apps on the sd card and the firmware or htc cant handle it so it shuts the phone down by doing a reboot, i currently have 123 apps on my sd card in the android secure folder with a total size of 1.41gb...i have about 60 apps on the desire hd internal storage, i have a 32 gb card, plenty of space in the card itself, heres the wierd bit, i delete a few apps from the android secure folder and the phone starts loading the apps perfectly and doesnt go into a reboot, however the problem comes back if i download new apps, please has anyone got an idea whats going on, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt, then also it would randomly start saying sd ard unexpectedly removed, although thats only happened once so to be dafe i just took that card out and replaced it since i had another 32 gb lying about, i guess the real problem is the reboot....
ohh to make it more frustrating, i reflashed, clear memory, cache and everything before reflashing ARHD again...started with a few apps, lasted about 4 days then downloaded a little more and then woke up one day a week later, tried restarting my phone and there it goes again, constant reboots with sd card, the apps load, screen freezes and waaala reboot...
im desperate...had this phone over a year and now its just acting up when lots of apps are on there...
any help would be appreciated...
So no ideas then anyone lol...
It's a notorious issue with the dhd on gingerbread (revolution). I encountered it recently when sense kept restarting on my phone every five minutes after I moved too many apps to my sd card (even though most were frozen and the sd is class 10). After I made sure I had backups, I uninstalled a lot of apps from the sd card and everything is fine. Either try and uninstall some apps you aren't using or upgrade to icecoldsandwich.
Or the other option is to make a second partition on your sd card (backup first) using ext4 (use minitools), then use the app link2sd.
Link2sd app worked GREAT for me!
I can confirm this. If you put too many apps on SD card, it just reboots. Drove me crazy while I used stock ROM.
Here's some super duper tricks guys....Enjoy!!!

Hey,there's a cool way to get it going even if there are ton's of apps in SDcard.try this simple trick(Works for me with 735 apps on a 32GBcard) :
1.Power off the phone by holding the power button for some time if the phone keep rebooting without any stop.
2.Keep it cool for 3-4 mins.
3.Power it on again.
4.Then when the launcher starts,goto 'settings' fast.
5.Then quickly goto the storage>Unmount SD card.
6.Then after the USB storage scanning is finished and all apps in phone memory are granted their requested permissions(just for rooted device),mount the SD card...
7.This time the reboot won't occur until you power it off and power it on again...
HAPPY TWEAKING!!!
Here's another trick too... :
1.Power off the phone by holding the power button for some time if the phone keep rebooting without any stop.
2.Keep it cool for 3-4 mins.
3.Power it on again.
4.This time,just after the launcher start,plug in the USB cable and connect it to the computer in MTP mode.
5.When the SD card scanning just stops,plug the usb cable out(this'll give you a max of 1min to do it).
6.A second wave of Media Scanning occurs.
7.but this time,it won't even dare to touch your phone...
"Nothing is Impossible" :victory:
The final trick(Trick 3):
1..Power off the phone by holding the power button for some time if the phone keep rebooting without any stop.
2.Take the SD card out.
3.Power it on again.
4.After booting and media scanning finished,put the SD card back in.
5.mount it in settings>storage>mount SD card.
6.Wait till the media scanning ends.
7.Now you're ready to go....
"Never Give UP on Anything" :highfive:
hey guys,just don't let the tech rule you.Rule the tech.these are just basics...Anyone who got to play with a smartphone for a long time can figure it out....Just tweak your brain!!!! Anyway Cheers bye now.... Hit thanks if I helped you.... :victory:
Hello,
I recentply purchased a Galaxy Note 2, it's the GT-N7100 model. I got a 32GB SD card for it, and ever since I inserted that memory card for the frist time, it would always download game data in the card, not in the phone memory. Examples: Modern Combat 3, N.O.V.A. 3, NFS Most Wanted. I had about 10 gigs of "data" and "obb" folders in my memory card. This was all fine, as it kept the phone memory almoust empty.
However, since this morning, when I lauched any of those games they would ask me to download data again, and this time it all goes to the phone memory! I tried formatting the SD Card, Rebooted the phone, deleted app data for those games, reinstalled them, but this didn't fix it. I did a factory setting reset (completely wiping the phone) - still no luck. What might have happened to my phone?
For me I was never able to dl game data to sdcard some day one using gn2..

I was never able to download any app data to sd card since day one. I've been manually transferring downloads (sadly) ) to my sd card. And I ended up only transferring media files and left app files alone

This is so strange, never heard of someone reporting games data dowloading directly onto an external memory. Did you initially install a mod to make your phone see the SD card as an internal memory?
Sent from the Rabbit Hole
Never heard of such a thing. Data is always saved inside the internal SD, not to the external SD, not unless you rooted and performed the apps2sd mod.
I do not remember what I did... I was playing around with apps that were supposed to transfer apps to the sd card, but with no success. Then it just started doing it on it's own. I am rooted and using stock ROM, if this matters. If I had installed a mod, I must have done so without even knowing about it (lol). It's just really weird, as all over the internet people say that you can't do this, and I have seen my phone doing it.
Anyway, since I can't figure out how to make that work, can you suggest a good app for transferring games to the SD card. I tries GL 2 SD, which works(!) but I can only play the games if I start them from within this app. And since I am kind of OCD, this doesn't work for me, I need to be able to start them from the normal icon on the home screen.
Thank you all for replying.
Not planning on a root yet.
Will the next Android OS update be able to support app transfer to SD card?
Ok so I'm not sure if the SD is mounted in a different way to the way they used to. But Spotify is meant to save to the drive with the most space, but it keeps on trying to download content to my internal 16gb rather than my almost empty 64gb sd card!
Anyone else have this problem or any ideas on how to fix it?
Deleted cache etc and re installed and now it's working
how?

how did you set this up in the first place?
i got the very same problem.
installing ancient version of spotify to choose sd location isn't working with kitkat changes to sd permissions anymore, i guess. at least on my unrooted machine.
EDIT
fixes. newest version of spotify seems to do it.
clearing cache seems to be necessary.
great.
So I tried this, and it didn't work for me!
I have other stuff on SD card and i just installed spotify from scratch, everything wiped first and it's still not saving to the SD card.
I am rooted, running Negalite WondeROM v2. Stock kernel. Half the time, when I boot, the contents of my SD card dont show up. I get the gray squares, and when i try to open apps that are on my card, it says that they are not installed, or that I need to download the additional data(which I have already downloaded). Hot boot fixes it. And it doesn't happen all the time. Today, I was trying to update a game I purchased from the Play store, and I keep getting a message saying that I have insufficient external storage space. I have over 9Gb left on a 16Gb card. I used the Android applucation manager to move my apps to external SD, and not an app or anything. I have unmounted, removed, re-inserted and re-mounted my SD card, and the problem is unchanged. My internal storage is close to full, if that makes any difference. I have downloaded an SD fixer app, but when I opened it, it said that my SD was already writeable. Any input or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
Edit: making 5Gb space on INTERNAL storage seems to have solved the problem. Sorry for wasting everyone's time. Mods please close thread, OP a jackass.
Edit 2: nope, problem persists. Anyone have any sugestions?
moto G5 2gb version.
I have a Toshiba U3 32gb card set as internal storage formatted in the phone. This card was previously used in my G4 and was fast and worked flawlessly as internal storage.
when I install an app manually from the play store, I get an "insufficient space" error. as per the FAQ that the error links me to, I reboot the phone but then get a message saying SD CARD MISSING REINSERT DEVICE while the card is still in the phone. I then have to reformat the card but the problem will still present itself when I try to install an app again. or just reboot the phone. the card works fine as removable storage, which is kind of useless for the internal apps.
ive read similar faults for the other G5 variants in the forum and online and couldn't find a fix unless I missed it.
Remove the sd card from the device - wait a few seconds then reinsert it (whilst the phone is on & fully booted)
Is that a permanent fix? I've tried removing and inserted a most times still recognise card.

You get corrupt sd card sometimes when you install new rom or wipe dalvik/art cache
Normally removing the sd card & reinserting it whilst phone is fully booted allows it to mount successfully
I use my sd card as external removable storage - I don't use as internal as I don't see the point - this phone has 16gb storage - you will never fill it with just apps - anything else you put on external
Plus you need a very high class sd card to get half decent read/write speeds if set as internal
I've not installed any roms, the phone me is completely stock (o2 network version).
I do need it as internal storage as the external storage only seems to store camera photos and not much else. Even whatsapp media is stored on the phone, but will store on the sd card if it's set as Internal Storage. the card itself is a U3 class and i know it operates faster than a class 10.
I just tried taking a photo with card set as external and the camera shuts down with an error after taking a photo. Works fine when I tell the camera to save to phone.
Going to try format the card on the pc and see what happens as it's clearly not working as an external card even tho the phone isn't flagging any issues.
update;
sd has been set as internal for the last few hours so thought id give it a reboot now, and guess what, SD CARD MISSING. i can tell something is definitely wrong. apps stored on the sd are failing to load or are loading after a really long time ie. 1min for 9gag and the QuickPic galllery app just fails to load. speed test on the sd while in the phone report 5mb read and write! on the G4 the same card was in the double figures.

Many people have issues with sd card set as internal across various devices
If your phone is on stock & unmodified take the issue to Motorola
Obviously ignore them if they tell you that you need to factory reset & all that rubbish - tell them you already have
Sometimes it's just a case of a phone not liking a certain brand of sd card
There's no known fix for your issue that I'm aware of

ive arranged for a replacement with o2 but their stock is scarce at the moment. so will update when i get the new phone.
you could be right that its just the phone not liking this specific sdcard. tried a class4 but that was too slow to even attempt a trouble shoot lol.
new problem, YT Studio app fails to load, says Something Went Wrong. this just gets better and better. thanks for the advice.

Just tested the app on my phone & yt studio works fine
If I was to guess I would say you have a google play services issue - if Google play services was on your sd card running as internal & it isn't in your phone mounted correctly YouTube & other apps that require it will not work
You can either clear data of Google play services from the app settings menu (make sure you have set show system apps from the 3 dot menu on top right) or reinstall it - you will have to search on Google for the apk as normally it's not listed in the playstore
