I have read many threads on this topic and they all have solutions to this problem, but none of them are working on my phone.
Ever since my phone upgraded to 6.0.1, all of my apps were moved back to the internal storage. I no longer have any option at all to move my apps to the SD memory card.
I tried to root my phone to bypass this issue (as Google seems unwilling to fix it), but whenever I try to root my phone, it either fails, or says that it cannot be done. I have tried Kingroot, KingoRoot, iRoot, TWRP, Kingo, and various other methods. Evidently, there is no way to root this phone.
I am not sure if this is a LG K10 issue or just 6.0.1. I have a friend with a Samsung J7 and they have the same problem.
Ideas?
The apps cannot be moved to SD card without using apps like link2sd (root required) or using adoptable storage (android 6+) feature. Actually apps can be moved without this but a number of conditions need to be met so very small apps can be moved in case you even have option built in, vut app data can't be moved without theese two solutions mentioned above.

The problem is that my previous android phones had the ability (depending on the individual app) to move the app to the SD card. Since the release of 6.0.1, that option went away. I checked on every app on my phone, the option is flat-out gone.

That is readily obvious, but still not a solution. This bullsh*t about not being able to move apps to my sd card is not unique to me. I have been reading dozens of accounts from other people with the same exact problem. It is also not unique to the LG K10 phone as friend with a Samsung J7 has the same problem.
Since rooting 6.0.1 is not yet possible, is there a way to roll back to 6.0?

Do you have the KDZ firmware file for 6.0? If yes then you can rollback to 6.0 using my guide.

OK, I had to replace my SD card because I have big clumsy hands and I broke it. I have also decided to reset my device to the factory defaults just in case that was causing my problem. So now we are starting with a brand new blank Sandisk 32GB Class 10 SD card and a fresh install of the Android 6.0.1 operating system.
I went to the link you suggested and started with the process. My phone is plugged in and I selected "File Transfer" from the phone so that my computer sees it. I opened a command window on Windows 10 (Yes I have adb installed and running already) and typed "adb shell" and I get the following result.
C:\Users\Charles>adb shell

I have "Developer Mode" turned on. I went into those settings and "USB Debugging" is greyed out. I cannot select it. How do I turn it on?
I was recently given instructions on "Formatting as Internal" on my Marshmallow Android phone.
1. Go to device “Settings”, then select “Storage”.
2. Select your "SD Card", then tap the “three-dot menu“ (top-right), now select “Settings” from in there.
3. Now select “Format as internal”, and then “Erase & Format”.
4. Your SD Card will now be formatted as internal storage.
5. Reboot your phone.

- "Storage" is actually "Storage & USB"
- When I select the SD card and then hit the three dot menu in the upper-right corner, I get two menu options: "Grid View" and "Settings". When I select "Settings", I get two options: "Eject" and "Format". When I select "Format", I am not given any options at all. There is no "Format as Internal" option.

Well, then you are screwed, I don't know why is debugging grayed out, manufacturer done that probably.
Without adb you can't set up adoptable on k10 because lg didn't implement option in setting. Maybe you'll be able to adopt if you root, but that is not possible at the moment as far as I know.

OK, it turns out that if you have your device plugged into the usb, your USB Debugging option is greyed out. Now I have USB Debugging active.
I successfully have Adoptable Storage working on my my phone. Now I can move my apps to the SD card. In fact, apps are automatically installing there. I cannot access the sd card directly anymore. I go to the File Manager and it does not even list the sd card at all. When I plug my phone into my computer, the SD card does not show up anymore. This leads me to two questions:
1. How do I access the card to move pictures and music to it?
2. Is there a way to have the adoptable storage only take up part of the SD card and the other part, public storage?

I have adopted whole adopted whole sd card and then in file manager if you migrated data on adopted card you'll se only one partition depending on which storage data is migrated
1. If you want to use adopted memory as primary then go to settings>storage and open adopted card then tap on 3 dot menu and migrate data. In that case when you plug pgone to pc via usb it will show you the only adopted sd it won't show internal memory.
2. Yes it is. On article I send you there is explained how to do that.

Hi.
in a short time my htc no longer recognizes the memory card, i don't know what to do, I tried to hard-reset but did work. someone can help me.
thanks
I have had the same problem using a sandisk 16GB card, it stops recognising the card. What I did was re format the card & reload my contents, it then works ok but I dont know why this happens. Can anyone help?
Hi,
I had a similar problem, (the micro SD was recognised but after when the card was accessed it seems the driver crashed and the micro SD was not anymore availlable until I eject and insert the card again).
The solution I found was to plug the phone in storage mode and to make a scandisk of the micro SD.
It found some errors and all was corrected.
I hope it could help
I already tried with other cards and it always happens the same, does not recognize the card.
which leads me whatever the problem is not the card but the phone.
Loose contact?
Mine is similar. I tried sticking two layers of adhesive tapes on the back of the card ("MicroSD" label side), it worked for a few days. Since yesterday evening it's dead again, and wouldn't work with even three layers!
I had the same problem but solved as follows.
First connect to PC as ""Disk Drive" (not thru active sync). Than in "My Computer" you will see the card. Than format the card as FAT32 (64 kb).
After that, right click and select "Properties">"Sharing">"Advanced Sharing" and check the "Share this directory" and close clicking on "Ok".
Disconnect the phone and reconnect via "Active Sync" (do not forget to deselect click under "Active Sync" connection type).
I hope it helps.

How? It is a micro sd, and I can't find anything that will reformat it, which is supposed to be a likely requirement in getting android running
I suffered a similar problem on my HTC Touch Diamond2 after upgrading from WM 6.1 to 6.5. After much research, a found one article that indicated the problem may be possible due to different chipset configuration for the SD memory card being incompatible with the ROM. It suggested the Japan-made SD card maybe more compatiable with WM compared to the Taiwan made memory card. I switch to a Japan made chip and everything is great

I use my digital camera for formatting „broken“ SD cards
Cameras just use different memory card detection method, so the card could be formatted
i put it in a old nokia of a friend and the nokia asked if i wanted to format the card to make it usable and i chosed yes and it worked

This solution worked.
I had a little problem with the formatting part the computer giving "Windows cannot complete format" or something similar but I solved the problem apparently.
To solve the problem:
- Right-click on "My computer"
- Click "Manage"
- Under "System Tools" Click on "Device Manager"
- Click the "+" beside Disk Manager
- Right Click on the device (Your HTC)
- Select properties
- Click on the "Policies" tab
- Select the "Optomize for performance" radio button
- Click ok
- Go to "My Computer" select your device
- Right-click "Format"
And that's it.
Hope you find it useful.
Hi there!
I'm getting the above also now I have an Htc Desire and get a symbol at the top left of the microsd symbol with a cog next to it ... booo.
This was after i installed a 16gb microsdhc class 10, as opposed to the 4gb microsdhc card that came with it.
I'm confused with the 'how to' above by tavsiyeci. Can you break it down more for the computer noobs in us? I've tried a few different methods but still no luck
Thanks if possible!
J
None of the above solutions worked for me, I tried several cards and still cannot get any of them to work.
The strange thing is, that after a ROM flash the cards works for a couple of days, then starts to disappear randomly, and at the end disappeares forever (until next flash).
Can you please advice me on another solution, if any?

I did it like this:
- insert card to PC via USB adaptor
- run chkdsk via win or cmd line, write CHKDSK X: (X as your flashcard letter)
- after check is complete, explorer should see card normally, so use "ARDC Data Recovery Tools 1.1" (free)
- Tools-Image backup/restore, Create Image from Disk, select card as image disk source and browse your new image, name it like "backup.img"
- after recovery is complete, use any image tool (I'm using UltraISO) to extract data from image
- format SD card and copy stuff back
Can we have a recommendation for the type of SD card to use?
Because I used an older type and it was terrible, but now that i have used a newer SD card it is doing alright.
I also do not need to do the waiting for SD card modification in the startup.txt
I have the Sprint LG G5 running ZV5 and I'm having a problem where I can't change the Storage settings for any apps (like Snapchat or GoPro app) to use the external SD card. For example, normally in Settings > Apps > GoPro > Storage, I should be able to click on Storage and move the app and it's storage to the external microSD card (app/data/cache). However with this it shows:
"Storage
631.35 MB used in Internal storage"
With no option to move or use the portable/external SD like it normally does on my other phones.
On my older Sprint LG G4 I can move apps this way to use the microSD card so the internal 32GB doesn't get full (both GoPro and Snapchat fill up gigabytes quickly!). Thanks for any help, maybe I'm missing something simple!
PS. Just wanted to clarify that the SD card does work for photos/movies using the default LG camera app, which is fine. So the microSD card is "working". But I want other video/cam apps like Snapchat, GoPro (with it's 4k videos), and my 3DR solo drone app to use the SD card as these apps generate much larger files! This worked normal on the LG G4 and now I'm stumped with the G5. Thanks for any help.
It is there, just reorganized/hidden. That part that tells you how many mb of internal storage used, is actually a menu button. It looks like an item, not a button, but it is actually clickable. Click it and a storage menu opens, under 'Storage Used' click change and select SD card

Hi Pedro, actually that is how I normally would get to it, but it's not working. The screen it takes me to when clicking the Storage used area doesn't have a Move to SD Card option or any reference to where the app is stored (see Screenshots attached). Any idea what's going on here? Are you able to move apps to SD Card? Thanks again!

I just tried around three dozen apps and with one exception, the only ones that didn't allow me to move them were system apps and apps that were pre- installed with the device. The one exception is Spotify, I think that is because that app has this setting built into the app itself. Everything else, I could move.
Edit: In fact, just installed Snapchat to test. Sure enough that feature is there.
Which G5 software version are you on (ZV3, ZV4 or ZV5)? I'm on ZV5.
Sent from my LGLS992 using Tapatalk
Wow, thanks! I'm on ZV5. Maybe I need to reformat the microsd card in the phone, I'll try that and see if it works.
EDIT - well, it's still a no go, still the same issue. I took out the card, and on my mac and formatted it as a mac format so the phone would be forced to reformat it. Putting it back in the phone and turning it on, it did pop up with an option to format it. After formatting on the phone there still is no option to Move to SD in the Storage settings (like you have in your screenshot). I'm wondering if I have a dud or if my microSD card is incompatible somehow? Its a fastest I could find Samsung 128gb Pro+. When I get home I'll try a different SD card (I have a Sandisk Extreme Pro 64gb there) and see if that works any better. Thanks for any ideas.
Still a no go
Well the Sandisk Extreme Pro 64gb that worked fine in my other phone (G4) does not work the same in my Sprint LG G5 running the latest update (ZV5). So far I can only save photos/videos to the microSD card, no option to move apps shows up. I did find others that have been experiencing this issue (see this video: "LG G5 cannot save your apps to SD Card" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FA9Ix5IVPMI ).
However, with the above reply by @PedroDaGr8 who also has the Sprint LG G5 on ZV5, I have hope that it is possible to move apps to the SD card, and I would like to get to the bottom of this issue of why I can't move any apps to SD! Any ideas of what I can try to further troubleshoot this?
@danboarder I just thought of something. I enabled adoptable storage on my SD card. I have a 128GB SD and I figured it would be good to give the system partition another 32gb. I wonder if this also enabled the move to storage option. I used the command line option that was discovered for the S7 which also works for our phone.

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.

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??

The lineage is rooted, I would welcome any advice.

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.
Regards,

I can't move app to my SD, only External storage format. Someone have the same trouble?
I mailed Nokia customer support about this issue and eventually got the following reply:
Greetings from Nokia Mobile Care ! We are sorry for the inconvenience that you are facing!
Please kindly keep in mind that the Nokia 6.1 device, as well as all other Android 1 devices, do not have the option for Internal storage formatting of an SD card. Additionally, there is no option for forced formatting of an SD card as such.
We hope this information managed to answer your inquiry. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us again!
Still waiting for an explanation as why the User Manual says that Apps can be moved to the SD card.
I believe in the reviews I read that Nokia chose not to implement "adoptable storage" in the 6.1
This is a trend in some new phones which is not welcome.

That option only force apps that normally can't be installed on SD card to be able to move, but we are not even able to move apps which can be moved.
Sent from my Lenovo TB-8704F using XDA Labs
From the AOSP site: "Caution: On devices running Android 7.0-8.1, file-based encryption can't be used together with adoptable storage. On devices using FBE, new storage media (such as an SD card) must be used as traditional storage. Devices running Android 9 and higher can use adoptable storage and FBE." Fingers crossed that when 9 rolls out for the Nokia phones in the Android One program, that adoptable stroage becomes an option. (again, the ability to use both fbe and adoptable stroage only affects phones in the Android One program, why? I don't know)
Adoptable Storage now available, but corrupts files!

The Pie update is finally here (Build 00WW_3_260_SP01) and it is now possible to format an SD Card as "Phone Storage" (aka "Adoptable Storage") but doing so WILL CORRUPT YOUR FILES!
Here is how to do it:
Format the SD Card using something the device won't recognize (NTFS, EXT4, etc.)
Turn off phone
Insert SD Card
Turn on phone
Tap the notification about Unsupported SD Card which brings up the storage options with a Format this SD Card? dialog popped-up on top of it
Tap CANCEL on the Format this SD Card? dialog to see additional options
Tap Phone storage in the Use for extra phone storage part of the screen
You will see another Format this SD Card? dialog that looks identical to the previous one
This time, tap FORMAT SD CARD
You may get a warning about the SD Card being too slow. Ignore that and proceed.
After the format completes, you may think you have working adopted storage, but you don't. Files written to /sdcard (which now points to the removable SD Card) will randomly be corrupted. One way to see the corruption is to tap the Move content button after the format above completes. If you had a lot of data on your internal SD Card (such as hundreds of pictures), much of it will now be corrupted. You were warned.
Another way to see the corruption is to use the adb utility to push files to /sdcard on the device. When you pull the files back, many will be corrupted. It's quick and easy to see the corruption using images (I push about 570 of them) and then launch Google Photos.
Which is worse, not supporting adoptable storage or supporting it and corrupting our files?
Hi folks,
Lineage 16 (latest version) is now installed on my S5, however when I connect the USB, the phone just shows as 'SM-G900F' on my W10 PC and cannot be expanded, basically no Phone and Card folders.
I can see them in the phone no problem, but once I connect it, I am not prompted with the usual message on what I want to do, like file transfer etc. and on the left menu appears only the model of the phone.
I had no issues when I flashed the original firmware, so it must be related to Lineage.
I also installed the Android USB drivers, but no go.
Changing the USB Preferences, to PTP or File Transfer only allows me to see the phone folder but no SD.
I also tried a new SD, no success.
Any thoughts?
Thank you,
Alex

I have re-flashed everything and started from the beginning.
lineage-16.0-20190918-nightly-klte-signed + open_gapps-arm-9.0-mini-20190921
SanDisk SD Card 32GB, either way I try to format it does the following:
Phone Storage: attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.String android.os.storage.VolumeInfo.getId()' on a null object reference.
SanDisk SD Card unsupported
Portable Storage: When I hit format, it says: Your Card is ready to use - I click Done but still the cart shows in the Storage area as portable Storage SanDisk SD Card Unsupported
The card is OK, also because if I flash the original ROM the same card works perfectly and shows up in my PC too.
This is very annoying, I am stuck on this for days and even trying other cards I get the same.
I hope you can help me to resolve this matter.
Thank you!
Alex
