SD card troubles - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I've just received my z1 compact today and while switching everything over from my previous phone (a galaxy s3 mini GT-I8190) I also plugged in the SD card from that phone. I have a few (+/-1500) pictures on it but it seems to take the album app forever to load it all in and generate the thumbnails. Is this normal? Should I just leave it to settle over night or what?

It's solved, problem was a wonky sd card. Formatted it and now everything works as it should.

Yeah it happens, you're with a Sandisk, aren't you. Format it or get another card and see if it gets better

I believe that they are located in /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music/cache/music
and it totally sucks that you can't move it to external Sd card.

Technically there isn't supposed to be am external sd card these days, android only looks at the internal memory for app storage and what not... At least it does now

I guess it could be updated or nodded to look in both places but the mount points would be impossible to keep up with

Would it be possible to make the directory listed a symlink to a folder on the external sd card? Just a thought, I don't actually use my phone enough for music for it to be a concern to me.
The new update put my offline cache in /data/data/com.google.android.music/cache
Previously it was on sdcard/android/com.google.android.music/cache
If you are wanting to import the files. It strips the id3 tags so you will need something like "offline music importer" from the play store. And go back to the system app version of play music

The biggest problem with this is how samsung names the partitions, they when with sd card for internal and external sd card for sd card, so apps just looks for Sd cards, that's my biggest problem with this phone since I have 64 gb sd card, at least it less you saves pictures on sd card

I have my play music on my ext sdcard.
I had to do it in a round about way but it worked.
I downloaded all my music to PC and then copied all the folders onto my microsd.
When I put the micro SD in my phone, play music found it and was somehow smart enough to not double the albums (play music store and mp3s on card).
Hope this helps!

Try formatting the sd card with your phone. After backing up your stuff of course
That's been known to work

Transfer them to your internal storage. . Pop in the new microSD n transfer the files. Use androZIP or a file manager
