Hi, so I recently bought a MICRO SD card (16gb) for my Samsung Galaxy S Duos S7652.
I inserted it in the phone. When I go to the storage in the settings, it shows that there is 14.83gb available even though it is empty I haven't put anything inside. But this is not the major problem.
The problem is that the card is USELESS. I mean whatever I do, I cannot get applications in the SD card. They always install in the internal memory where there is no space left and the game is like 1.5gb which is more than the internal memory I am given. I tried moving the applications to the SD card folders in ''my files'' but nothing hapenned.
I searched the internet and found out that I had to change my internet browser settings and so did I. I put the memory card as deafult. I downloaded Directory Bind and App to SD and still i cannot transfer applications from internal to external memory, or just download directly in the memory card. The memory card is working correctly, i just dont know how to place apps in there.
In my settings--> storage, when i go to an application and tap on it, i can see the SD card under storage, but there is no ''MOVE TO SD CARD'' in any application. I have tried with the App to SD and the Directory Bind programs but i still get Root Access FAIL. My phone operater is 4.0 ice cream sandwich (i think that is how it's called)
I have tried everything. So my question is:
Can I fix this and transfer applications from internal to external memory? Or download the apps directly on the SD card?
Or i just wasted 20EURO and the card is useless.
Please Help.
Thanks.

Hello there guys,
i tried to install some apps but i could not, the phone show insufficient memory.
So i opened aplications-manage applications and unsuccessfully tried to move the apps to SD CARD (which i believe is the internal storage of phone, i don't have SD Card). I was surprised with this because there is plenty of space available. any idea what can i do? i cant install apps and neither transfer them to SD.
THanks.
Hey, hmm yeah i can see how that would be an issue. lol
But the SD card referees to an external memory card not your internal memory.
You can install a micro sd card (up to 32GB) into your samsung galaxy s2 through the back. You'll have to open up the back cover
Hello all,
I'm new here and have a couple of questions about my first smartphone the Galaxy SII (Rooted)
I have recently been getting a few messages informing me that the SD Card is full, which seems to hold about 12 GB.
I have a 32 GB External Sd Card which I try to keep most of my vids / music, and apps that I consider don't really need to e on the actual phone like games, etc.
Other apps like browsers, Password safes, etc I keep on the phone itself.
The Phone seems to have 3 storage areas that it seems to refer to
USB Storage (Actually part of phone memory= Correct ?
SD Card (Actually part of phone memory = Correct?
External SD Card (Removable sd card = Correct ?
Can somebody please explain to me what the idea behind this setup is and how do I go about freeing up the SD Card when most of the directories in there seem to be Data related with the odd folder left over from uninstalled apps.
Hope that makes sense.
Apologies for any bad / incorrect terminology.
Regards
Loachy
If you go to Settings->storage ;
SD Card would refer to any external microSD card you might have put in.
USB Storage would refer to the Internal storage (can be used for storing media/data files)
there is another storage of about 2GB or so... which is used for apps installations..
this partitions can only be accessed via few apps like root explorer and others...
In order to free up your App storing internal storage ( which is 2GB odd)... you would need to put in an external microSD card...
then use any App (i use titanium Backup Pro) to move some of the apps to SD card...(which is infact the external microSD 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.
A working vold.fstab modification for the Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-i8160
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.

Hello everyone,
I am looking for the help of real expert on Android. I have an old phone Galaxy S II (I9100) and I said to myself that I will use it as an MP3 player, radio, handheld camera, in short, such a home device. I made a hard reset, installed CyanogenMod, that I updated, installed the necessary applications and because the phone has storage for applications only 2GB many I moved to internal storage for data that is marked as an SD card (in the storage manager) and it has 16 GB For MP3 I bought 64 gigabytes Samsung SD card. And then there was my problem. When I slid the SD card and run the system, it didn't see the application transferred to the internal data storage. The problem I think is that the system has changed the path of the internal data storage and the actual SD card. So it doesn't seek for apps in the internal data storage, but in the blank SD card. Is there any way to replace or modify the path to both memories so that the system will be looking for applications where before, ie only the internal data storage and not on an external SD card? Than I will be able to change SD card any time and it will not affect installed apps moved into internal storage for data. I have installed CM 12 with a root. All three storages can system see. Thank you very much.
I have a problem with my tablet not recognising the sd card. It is not specific to a particular card, I have tried 3 and they all behave the same. The cards function correctly in other devices.
When I go to Settings, Storage the card is not showing, only internal storage. However, if I go to My Files the SD card is showing and I can read to and write from the card.
When I go to Apps, choose an app and then choose Storage I have an option to move the app to external storage. When I choose this option I get a message saying there is not enough room on the card even though the card is essentially empty .
Can anyone suggest how I can get the SD card to show under Storage and also how to move apps to the card?
Thank you.
OK, my bad. The card does show under Storage, I just wasnt looking in the right place. However I still cant move apps to the card.
My internal storage is now nearly full and I have a totally empty SD card, would love to get a fix for this issue.
Thanks.
