I have a SGH-T999 with Android 4.0.4 which I'm trying to encrypt the SD card of under Settings->Security->Encrypt SD Card.
Under Encryption settings I can select any combination of settings and choose continue after which I am prompted to confirm my password.
However next I get a screen similar to the following:
---
Disable SD card encryption?
ø Device will not encrypt new files on SD card
ø Device will decrypt encrypted SD card
ø Decryption may take along time depending on the amount of data. It is recommended that you plug device into charger
ø All open files on SD card will be closed
ø During this process, SD card will not be available
[ Apply ]

Any ideas what's going on? I was able to encrypt the device without issue...
Hello,
IN recovery under mount and storage menu, there is an option format/SD card?
My question is that, will this format the external SD card or will it format the internal SD card ?
I want to make sure, because what I want to do is format my external SD card.
I tried formatting the card with my PC, the phone still can not see it.
My 32 GB external card , doesn't show up. Maybe If I format it using the phone, the phone will be able to see it.
thank you in advance
If your phone can't detect the external memory card, how can it format it? You'll end up formatting the internal card. Looking at my settings, I do not think the phone even allows you to format the external card from the Storage menu.
mmm. ...... I inserted an 8GB card in it, the phone was able to detect it, but when I insert the 32GB it can't see the card.
Any ideas what the issue maybe?
Under Settings > General > Security
I have some questions regarding the encryption
If I encrypt my SD card:
Will new files I transfer from my phone storage to the SD card be encrypted automatically? Or will I have to re-encrypt the entire SD card
How do I de-encrypt the SD card? Can it only be done with the specific phone that I used to encrypt it? Meaning if I encrypt my sd card, and my phone breaks in the futute, I'll never be able to de-encrypt it?
Can I access files on the encrypted card using a file explorer? If so, do I have to enter a password every time I want to look at a file?
That is all. Thanks you in advance.
Hello,
i have been using adoptable storage for a while and i like it.
My adopted card however is getting close to full so i would like to switch to a larger one.
Has anyone done this? Is there anyway to transfer the data from the old to the new adopted card?
I dont have enough space on the phone memory itself to move everything back to the internal storage.
i can move pics and music to an hdd but not sure about apps and associated data that is on the card.
Thanks in advance!
You can send all files in sd card with a secondary app like zapya to computer and resend them to sd card when you adopted new sd card in your phone
Have you looked at HTC SyncManager?
I wasnt aware of these options i will look into them and report.
Thank you
Shouldn't it work if you just copy everything on your SD card to a PC, place the new SD card, format it as internal storage, copy everything back and restart?
I'm not sure if this works, but your apps are still installed on internal storage, only app data is placed on SD card.
Check settings > storage
If you tap on your internal storage, there should be some GB at apps and just a few MB on your SD card.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Except that pulling the adopted storage eviscerates the file system...
The only strategy I could fathom would be to duplicate the image onto the new SD card plugged in USB-OTG. If that were even possible, a concern would be changes during copy, making it inconsistent.
converted to adoptable storage but no data import option in the SD Card in storage
I am using a Samsung galaxy S5 and i converted my SD card to adoptable storage using adb shell process. after that there are two options showing in storage settings, internal storage and SD card.
Is it converted to Adoptable storage? If yes then why is there no option of importing data in the menu of 'SD card' storage option.
and how can i transfer from internal to SD card. or can make use of adoptable storage properly?
Cannot find an option to encrypt SD card.
Only option I've found is Encrypt phone. If it means that SD card would be encrypted as well, why Decrypt SD card option is missing then?
