Data Storage Selection - HOW? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Is there a way that I can by default set up all sync data, videos and pictures to save automatically to my Micro SD Card?
I would like to leave the USB storage (Internal Memory to Apps)
I have noticed that I can view the data on my micro SD card via the File Manager Application. However when I load the SD card into my PC I cant see all the data on the card what can I do to change this?
Does anyone know if the GS2 will except a 64GB micro SD Card?

[Q] MicrosSD Card Not "seen" by PC over USB

When I connect my GTab to my Win7-64 over usb, I can access the main internal sdcard memory but I cannot get to the removeable SD card.
Currently I transfer my movie files to the internal sdcard and then use a filemanager to copy them to the external sd card.
I am on TNT-Lite 4.4.0. Is this how it is supposed to work?
Yes. That is normal behavior.
Thanks. At least know to stop trying to fix it.

sd card issue

Guys,
I have taken sd card from my nokia e72 and added to samsung galaxy s2 but i am not able to see the card
my files\external card
can anyone give me description on it?
First check Settings > Storage, and check what the top most 4 lines say. Does it state anything about 'SD-card'? Can you select 'format SD-card'?
Do you have the folder 'external_sd' on your internal storage?
Do you mean you can't see it on your phone, or you can't see it on your pc? If you mean through your pc when browsing internal storage: you can't see your external sd by clicking on 'external_sd'. You have to select the other storage that's available in your browser.
Anyways, just reformat the card if nothing helped. Format it as FAT32, then your phone will recognize it.
i have formatted the microsdhc(class 4) card as FAT32 system and then inserted into mobile...
Settings\Storage does not show sd card
and also in task manager for sd card it shows 0.0 bytes
please i need help....

Phone is confused between USB storage and my SD card

I just upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy Ace 2, after using my old Xperia for 2 years. I love the phone apart from one really annoying problem and that's the phone seems to be confused between its USB Storage and SD card.
The USB storage is 1.10 GB and seems to be the default partition for large app data that you have to download like maps for gps and game files for hd games, so it runs out very quickly.
It is located at /sdcard
I have a 32GB SD card, where I ideally want this application data to live so I can have more apps.
It is located at /sdcard/external_sd.
I tried editing vold.fstab to swap internal/external sds to no avail and had to restore the original.
Task Manager > Storage is showing my storage information correctly but apps such as App to SD are treating my USB storage like my SD card. When these apps download their additional data it goes to my USB storage. In the applications menu "On SD Card" displays apps on my USB storage.
I'm looking for either:
A way to move the apps and appdata from USB storage to my SD card. I know this can be done in a file manger but then the apps wont be able to find their data.
A way for these apps to save additional data to my SD Card NOT my USB storage.
A way to get the phone to realise my USB storage is NOT my SD Card.
A way to completely disable USB storage and use my SD card as its primary storage function.

Many thanks
I'm actually trying to find a way to get my games to install their data on my external SD card. The USB storage is actually an internal SD card inside your phone so its not actually getting confused. The only way for apps to save their data to your external SD card is for the developer to make it an option in the ROM. There's a mod for Gameloft games that allows it to install its data onto your external SD card if that helps. Just Google it.

CM10 SD Card locations

Hey people,
Can someone tell me how to set up my SD card to function with CM10? Which path is the SD Card for internal storage and which one is the external? Also, how can I get it to show up on my pc when I plug the phone in? Right now, it only shows up for the 9gig internal storage partition. Thoughts?

Change SD card from Internal to Portable

For some time i have used an SD card on my P9000 as Internal storage.
The advantage of this should be the possibility to install apps on the SD card.
It has been a source of issues though:
*malfunction of apps,
*apps disappearing after restart of P9000,
just to name some.
Moving the apps to the internal memory seems to fix these issues.
So, i have decided to format the SD card as portable storage.
This can be done by Settings, Storage & USB, SD card, vertical ellipsis ⋮ menu (top-right)
Before formatting, I want to move all data from the SD card.
After moving apps, photos & other media there is still 3.73 GB used on the SD card.
What is the 3.73 GB on an empty SD card?
How about transferring data from internal to sd card on Elephone P7000?
