Hi, there!
I use Froyo, unrooted, for new apps the sd card is set as default place for installation.
This morning I have tried to test how many apps can be put on the phone. I have reinstalled some not so useful apps from the sd card (where I have stored them in the course of the last months).
Some app had problems to install, the process would not finish. So I switched the phone off and on again. After reboot, the apps installed on the sd card are not being found any more. Neither is it possible, to install an app from the Market, the installation process does not finish.
In the settings menue, the sd card and its distribution of the used and free space is shown correctly, as is the free internal memory with 26 MB. But it is not possible, for instance, to use the removal of the sd card function.
It is clearly no issue of the sd card as such, I would say - apps which are installed on the phone (like tuneWiki, due to the use of its widget) have easy access to the sd card.
Every suggestion how to resolve the issue is welcome!
Issue resolved: Via menu -> applications -> administration -> only running apps I was able to halt some applications (the regular task manager is installed on the sd card as well, of course), amongst which was an app called package installer. Apparently, that was the solution, since after a new reboot, everything works fine again.
I'm not so lucky I Had the same problem as you a few hours after installing the new OTA update (and some other apps, dunno if it is related). Sadly my phone didn't show how much storage was on the SD card. And after a hard reset the PC wouldn't even recognize it. I think the phone killed my sd card
Using my wileyfox swift for a few days now and having a blast. This is the cheapest phone I ever got and i'm enjoying it
even more than my Nexus 4.
Today on the other hand, something strange happened to me.
Phone was working fine with a Samsung Evo 32 GB UHS-I formatted as internal storage.
Today I decided to move some apps from internal storage to the SD. I should have never done this..
After 3 apps the phone would stop moving them and stuck at 0%.
I thought this was just (another) android bug an rebooted the phone.
I moved 3 more apps and the same problem occurred.
This time the phone got stuck in bootloop at the wileyfox logo and a soft reset solved this.
When the phone booted I noticed 6 apps had disappeared, strange thing is. These weren't the apps I moved to my SD.
After opening the app drawer my phone froze completely, another soft reset was needed. This went on 5 more times, until I
removed the SD card. After this the phone started fine.
I checked the SD in my laptop and it was only showing the folder "Lost.dir".
When trying to format the SD card it was only showing a option to format it to 16MB.
After this i used Windows build in "disk manager" and noticed that there was a second (and main) partition of 16MB on the
card(?!).
After removing this partition I could format it to the original size.
It took me 5 tries before the phone would format it to use as internal storage. It would force close 4 times before with
an error message.
Can't find anything related about this issue on Google, is this a known bug?
TL;DR: Moving apps from internal storage to SD f'ed up my SD partition/card. Can't find anything about this issue online.
Phone info:
Wileyfox Swift
Cyanogenos 13.1.2, latest updates installed.
Not rooted, locked bootloader, nothing modified.
Even if u can use sd card as internal storage or whatever is not recomended to use it. Or even move apps on it my friend lost his 32gb sd card after using app to sd or something similar i dont remember
Actually this is some solid advice for everyone.
I tried using a build in feature and it did a whole lot of staying things. Since this happened I will stay away from the feature.
Hi all
I successfully updated to the latest nightly build 8/3/17 how ever I have no ability to move app data to my SD card. My sd card is seen under storage and I have files on it.
I also have twrp 3.0.2.0 but get a kernel is not seandroid enforcing error and can't charge whilst off. I have no loop issue the unit work's OK otherwise.
The lineage is rooted, I would welcome any advice.
Regards Sok
Sorry all the model is a SM-P605 model.

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.

I've been using my D855 with the same Samsung 64GB SD card from new, over 2 years, never a problem. Yesterday a notification appeared saying the card had been removed without unmounting it - nonsense, it's still in there. The "mount SD card" option in settings is greyed out. But the card is absolutely fine: I can read & write to it on my laptop. The phone doesn't see any other SD card I put in it either. So it seems the card slot has spontaneously failed. Is this a reasonable diagnosis? Any ideas as to how I can fix it, or should I be shopping for a new phone?
BTW: stock software, Android 5.0, V21a-TWN-XX, never rooted or tinkered with.
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
