SO I am having a problem with every EVO rom I flash. Here is what is happening.
- I will open Astro or EStrongs and click on the SD Card where I have my APP Apks stored and click on the folder and it will just close the program. So then I will reboot and try to install them again and it will install maybe 3 apps before it starts saying "App not Installed".
- I am also having the "File Permissions" problem on OMJ latest EVO Rom when I try and use the Camera.
I have the latest Sprint Software installed and everything else. Can anyone help me out and tell me whatr the problem can be? I thought this problem was fixed?
It might be a bad sd card
I had similar issues with the sd card that came with my phone. It would work for a little while and then all of a sudden I would get file permission errors. Sometimes it would even come up saying the data was corrupt and needed to be formatted. I tried formatting several times both in the phone and in the computer.
Nothing seemed to help the issue. I then went to the store and purchased a new 16GB SD card and have not had a problem since. On another note, I have since left the 8gb card in my computer and have not had any problems with it there.
Yeah, It was working working fine the all of a sudden it started having issues.
Hello, XDA commnity. I'm really hoping you guys can come through for me once again, and I apologize if this has already been discussed before.
Anyway, a little while ago, while rebooting my phone (a rooted Droid 2 running Liberty 1.5 if that helps) I got a message in the notification bar that my SD card was damaged.
Please tell me if I can recover all my card's contents without having to format the card. I have a lot of important stuff on there (including two nandroid backup images) and I absolutely MUST recover everything. Please have some good news for me!

This happened to me this morning. I crapped my pants, remounted my SD card in Settings > Storage and it mounted just fine. As soon as it did I managed to back up everything on the card.
Failing that, try booting into Ubuntu if you've got it handy and try reading the card from there. I've had memory cards/sticks which Windows has reported dead but worked just fine on Ubuntu before.
Hope this helps.
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?

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?

You should ask this in Q&A thread. This is general thread. Still try update to official LG firmware and see if adding data files to the card still causes crashes.. I know you can't use app data but you will at least know if the crashing has stopped. :0)
Try FolderMount.
I'm new to the Android OS.
As an experiment I tried to side-load a game by installing the APK and copying the OBB to the sd card (android\obb).
When running the game the game fails but if I copy the OBB to the phone the game loads just fine.
I also tried moving the game to the SD through Application manager and clearing the data before running it again but same problem.
Not sure if it's relevant but my phone is not rooted.
What am I doing wrong? I saw that all games have instructions to copy the OBB to the SD card.
One of the sad things about Android in the last year is they locked out writes to the sdcard. The only way to fix that is to root your phone. Sadly for the retail phone there is no current root option available. Even then not all games/apps work on the sdcard. Also what options you can do with a Sdcard if you have issues especially with sandisk ultra cards is exchange them. In your case its due to the locking of the sdcard in Android. You would need root. Theres a big bounty out for someone to find away to but its looking loke itll be done after lolipop Android 5.0.x is out in the next month or so.
Currently game data can't be moved to sd must stay in phone interior obb folder to work. Until root is achieved or supposedly we will be able to write to sd on 5.0 nothing we can do yet about it.
