My phone memory was running low, so I backed up my SD card, formatted it as internal memory, and restored the SD contents. However, I now can't save files from Chrome, AquaMail, or Facebook, getting error messages when I try. I am not getting the pop-up message asking me to grant these apps access to the SD card. How do I force Android Nougat to show this pop-up once again? I am running Android 7.1.1.

I've been trying to free up some space on my internal memory by transferring nearly all my apps to my sd card using the "move to sd card' option in 4.3
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to transfer all all apps after giving the command. I check in app manager/sd card and they are all listed as transferred and they even have the "sd card app" size listed ,yet the largest apps are still on the internal storage, as the obb data are still there.
I've tried copying the entire obb folder to my sd card but I have no idea how to link the path so that the apps execute properly. If i try opening an app after deleting the obb file from internal default storage path, it just re-downloads the file from the server.
This is really annoying. I have just about every app "transferred" yet I'm nearly out of storage space. If I check the properties of my obb folder on internal storage its nearly 6 gb!
I have root. Please shoot me some ideas as to how to fix this, as i have been searching high and low the past 2 hours trying to find a work around.
I've also cleared about every cache and unneeded file.
Thanks!
Hi folks
On Google play edition rom, updated to marshmallow via ota update. Initially converted my sd card to use as internal storage but phone very sluggish.. Converted back to use sd card for portable storage and phone zipping along. When I open the camera app though I get an error insert sd card before using camera..
I cleared the camera app data and cache and rebooted but no joy. Any suggestions?
Cheers

Try formatting the card (exFAT). Something may have just been corrupted converting it back/forth for use as internal storage.
Hi guys,
I have searched but cant find anything that matches my questions. I updated to 6.0 the other day and I formatted my SD Card as internal storage. It went ok and stated that 400mb could be moved which I did.
My issues are that I was led to believe once this was all set up any app could be moved to the SD card but thats not the case apps like Facebook cant be moved...is this the same for everyone?
And more importantly when I download a new app it installs to internal as default but then I can choose to move it manually to the Sandisk SD. Surely they should install the SD as default or split at least? at this rate the internal storage will continue to get full and nothing on the SD that's meant to be treated in the same way.
Any advice would be great!
Thank you
Anyone? someone else must be using the SD as internal memory?

and
some apps in the SD it display disabled but i can run the apps.

Hi there, i just got myself a moto z play and am trying to format my sd card as internal storage.
I keep getting the error not enough space, after formatting to internal and trying to move over data, even though the sd card is empty. The card works as i have tested it by moving my pictures and music onto the card and it seems to work fine, then i backed them up and tried to re-format it back to internal storage and it still says not enough free space when i try to click the "move now" option after formatting for internal.....
any ideas would be great. thanks.
BTW its a stock phone only running nova launcher. not rooted.
What about sd card spec, share the technical spec with make and model
Hi,
I know it is not such a good idea to use an SD card as internal memory. But unfortunately it has now happened.
I use a Motorola G5s with Android 8.1, 64 GByte SD card as internal memory. Now I would like to switch to a new Android and backup everything via the Google cloud before (I have tried to use the backup in the settings of Whattsapp). Both Whatsapp backups and ThreemaBackups abort, probably because there is too little memory. The internal shared memory is given as 13.04 used by 32 GB and the SD as 63.06 used by 64 GB. I have removed Apps & Videos, only the internal shared memory becomes free. However, the backup problem remains.
I already accessed the folder of external memory via the Android settings and deleted the video, but they were right back, so they were not deleted. I could only delete them via PC; but the memory space was not freed up in the SD card memory either, but in the internal memory.
It seems to me that the SD card memory is too full, but I can't free up any storage space there either?
What can I do? How can I make Whats App etc. find enough memory again?
Kind regards
Alex
Hi,
I try to migrate the data. Migration was aborted with error "not enough memory"; all data still there, only no improvement.
Does anyone know what I can do? SD formatted as internal, not migrated, migration aborted. Deleting files won't make things any better. We can't store anything on the device anymore, accordingly no backups can be made using the Whatsapp app
