Hello All,
As we all know there a bit slight issue as far as the internal memory of Xperia Arc is concernend.. when I googled on how can we use our SD card to actually increase the internal memory so that we need not move the apps explicitly to the SD card, I came to knw that we need to create a partition on our SD card in ext4 format.. But I dint get the exact way of doing it... so can anybody tell me how we can do it? And does it need to have a custom ROM installed? Does it work on stock ROM also? Please help.. Thanks..
Try Link2SD or AD2SDX.
I tried Link2SD, but my problem was that after creating the new partition in FAT32, the phone won't mount the SD card, and keeps acting as if the SD card removed. When I deleted the second partition, everything went back to normal but without adding to the internal memory (which is the whole point)
I must have done something wrong but can't figure it out.
The second partition is the one that has to be in ext4 format and as logical so your phone will not try to mount it for storage purposes..

Hello,
I have a 16gb SD card that I am trying to format. It has an EXT4 folder on it that I cannot delete. I cannot write to the SD Card as it is showing as in use.
I have a back up for my Desire but it is on my PC, therefore I cannot write this to the SD card. I can only access the SD card through my PC as when it is in the phone it will not mount.
Could someone explain how to delete the EXT4 folder so that I can write to the SD card? At the moment I have no Mobile!
Many thanks,
Simon

I guess you mean that you have an ext4 partition (formating normally doesn't care about folders).
I would suggest formatting the sd-card with an sd reader outside of your phone.
An alternative would be re-formatting your sd via recovery if you have clockwork mod installed. (or e.g. via adb: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534714)
OK, managed to delete the file through EXT4 Recovery and mounted to my PC. Thankd for the help by the way!

Hello everyone, I know this thread is already present and I also red the info regarding with it, but it seems my problem is something I can't solve with the help of those previous instructions. I have an I idea how to solve it but I'm hesitant to do it because I don't know if it works, and I kinda scared to do it because I don't want to buy again another SD Card if ever the present one will break.
Problem: I have a torrent app in my Note II and I liked to use it always because it downloads fast, but the problem is that whenever I want to download files that is more than 4GB in size, I always receive an error that the file I want to download is to big for the file system; (file system limit exceeded), and I learned that this error occurs when my storage system is FAT/FAT32, then I read a thread in this forum that this will be solved by converting my SD Card's file system to NTFS and use Paragon NTFS Mount app so that my NTFS Card will be accepted by my phone, alas I did as what was instructed, converted my SD Card to NTFS, mount my card to storage/sdCard/extcard <---Created another path as it was said that using the default path would make it not work. But when I re-started to download files it fails to me again, the same problem encountered (file system limit exceeded). I even converted my SD card to exFat because I heard that this can handle large files, more than 4GB but also to no avail.
Solution(not tested yet): I am planning to make 2 partitions in my SD card, one partition would be fat32 and the other would be NTFS, and use also paragon app, so that when I insert my card to my phone, the phone will mount the FAT system to the fat32 partition and leave the NTFS partition alone and not be used.
Does this method of mine will work? Are there any ideas aside from what I had in mind that will also help me solve my little problem. I know that this problem of mine is not that big, and I can just refer it to other threads and the google but I want to know from the pro's and OP's here if my method is possible.
Thank you!
Kudos to all!:good:

You need to define a mount point like sdcard0 is internal sd sdcard1 is external sd fat32 partition sdcard2 as the ntfs partition which is really hard to do on a samsung based rom (even windows doesnt recognize the second partition on sd cards ) you can format the sd to ext3 or ext4 it's the best possible solution

I see, too bad, but thanks any way. Does the procedure in formatting my sd card to ext3 or ext4 is the same as when I format my card to fat32 other system, or would you use a program to do it.
Why are you using Fat32 or NTFS just format the SD card to ExFAT. No size limit and compatible with Note2 & Windows
I think the problem you are having is due to the torrent app you are using, it might be trying to use the internal phone memory as a temporary location for the file you are downloading. Try changing your torrent app
(I had this problem with the official utorrent app)
I took this tablet from a friend and it was soft bricked..i flashed the stock rom and i saw that in internal storage there is a file SD card and it saves everything there like it is the external and the sd is empty.So it's impossible to transfer an app to SD because it is already there for the tablet.In storage settings i can see the SD normaly and its empty.I m confused anyone knows something?
