Hi,
I have recently bought new 64GB Micro SD Card and when i inserted and tried to download directly on card i get error using ES File Explorer. Cannot even move the files from internal memory to sd card ? is there any protection setting ? how can i use ES File explorer to download files via FTP directly to SD Card ?
Please help....
First of all take the sdcard out and hook it up to a pc, do a full write to the sdcard using a program like H2testw 1.4 or USB Flash Drive Tester, Chkflash...etc, there are alot of counterfit cards out there that will appear to work initially but break or erase data as they fill up...
if that test passed and it is a real sdcard then you might have to root your device if it's running kitkat , it's a bug in kitkat where you can't write to the sdcard....if you are rooted you can override this problem.

Thanks for information. I have Genuine Samsung Evo Card and speed test i got is 20MB/sec. So i think i need to root the tab in order to get writing access. But what if i need to update to Lolipop soon when it comes out ? i would be able to update via USB using samsung kies even though i have rooted my tab ?
Thanks...
Use the pre-installed Samsung file manager. It has the right permissions to copy to SD card.
If copying from WiFi, you have to use es file explorer first to copy to onboard storage. Then Samsung file manager to move it from local to SD card. Annoying, but I think it's the only way unless you root
OK, maybe a bit late to the party, but I've found a way to make it work. I've installed Total Commander from the Google Play store. Just opening it shows the address to the sd card. Connect to the Android Device via FTP (Say, through ES File explorer to set it up as a ftp server). In the directory bar of your ftp client type /storage/*address* where *address* is the address shown in Total Commander. You can then navigate trhough the SD card directories to your heart's content.
Hi! I have htc 10 with 128 gb sd card formatted as internal memory. I was transferring a photo folder from phone to laptop using USB cable and USB connection in media transfer mode. The folder seemed to be transferring alright but the pasted folder in laptop is empty. Since I didn't understand photo sync in Google photos I don't have any backup...desperately seeking to restore that folder. Need all the help
I'd avoid using the SD as internal, sounds great in principle but can cause issues if there's an interrupt..
For apps I'd use folder mount, needs root but it's simple to use and doesn't affect internal memory.
In regards to the images, did you cut the images? Copy or simply drag them, a drag would be a copy. So the original should have remained. If you cut them then they'll have been in limbo and will then be marked for deletion.
In future always use copy instead.
If the photos are no longer in the phones memory then they'll have been marked for deletion, a data recovery app on Windows and or your mobile may help but not sure.. Have had a lot of luck on SD cards when plugged into Windows but never scanned a phone as it's a live OS and I imagine it would need complete read access.
If the photos were on the SD card and are no longer visible, connect the SD card up to your computer because if they're marked for deletion and the OS decides to use those clusters, it'll be overwritten which will make it harder for recovery.
Hi,
apps from market not working for me, but Recuva has worked hundred times for me.

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.

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.
SD card not properly configured

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.

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!
