I experience a similar problem with a rooted Lenovo 790. It can always see phone memory, but occasionally can't see the SD card. Rebooting does not help. The only way I've found to overcome this is to physically remove the SD card and replace it, then reboot the phone.

No, I think its about my sd card not working.
Can you access files that are already on the SD card?
You can try to reformat the SD card and see if that helps. If not try another SD card and see if that works.
Do you think that it is a problem with your software or the hardware?
What kind of SD card do you have?

How to fix "Couldn't Install on USB Storage or SD Card" Error
Hey Dude,
I too had this problem on my Galaxy Ace GT S5830. But I've fixed it now. There are 3 ways in which you could fix this (literally). (Before reading all this, check whether you have enough Internal memory i.e above 25 MB)
1) This method is a kind of a temporary solution. Unmount your SD Card in Storage Settings. Then Install your app. After installing it remount, remount you SD Card.
2) Format your SD Card. After that you won't be having any problem unless you install something that's not good for your phone. But then too, you may get this problem again. So, this method also is a kind of a temporary fix.
3) Now this is a permanent fix. Upgrade your phone with a Custom Rom. If you're having 2.2.1 or 2.3.6 android version currently, then this is just the solution. If its 2.2.1, then do it for sure. But if its 2.3.6 just try to follow the above steps. If its still not working, then upgrade it.
Best Roms : CM7, Jelly Blast, CM 9, PAC MAN.....
You'll get tutorials on how to install Cusom Roms on Youtube.
Prevention from these problems in Future
1) Don't ever install Black Markets like Aptoid, Black Market Alpha, Panda app.........etc
2) Try to stay away from Viruses.
Hope this helped you. Thanks :fingers-crossed:

Go to settings->apps->all tab->media storage->clear data. Do it without your sd card in. Replace sd card and turn on phone and it will rescan the sd card correctly.
Back up anything in the /media stoage folder to your sd card before you do this.
Go to apps, all apps, find media storage and clear data, then reboot phone.
Problem solved.
Edit. Ya beat me by a min, lol.

[Q] How to download onto external sd card?

Every time I try to download anything the default location is the internal sd card. I try to switch it to choose the external sd card but it says "Can't find file or directory. Please make sure your SD card is ready, and USB Mass Storage is turned off."
I can not find the setting for the USB Mass Storage. But I'm able to see the sd card and see the folders and files I have on there with ES File Explorer.
Any help on this! Thanks!
*edit 4/14/2014*
Solved the problem but it requires root. See my tutorial.

In KitKat, write access to external SD card is blocked, you need to wait for a dev to MOD the system to allow for writing to external SD card.

Try using the My Files app that is built in. As it is not third party it should have full access to the SD card
Gladyscoleman said:
You need to install application from Google play store. Apps names are MY File and ES File Explorer File Manager . its a internal application for android and with the help of this you full access of SD Card.
In case of any further assistance please feel free to contact.
Thank you.

You could try the app SDFix by NextApp in the Play Store. It's free.

OP - Are you rooted?
KitKat has issues with access to microSD depending on what you are doing.
You will need to enable full access to SD.
Look in the root thread ot use Xposed with Tweakbox.

Yes I am rooted, All I'm trying to do is set the sd card as my dl directory, so files save to my sd card and not internal memory.
I have xpososed as well as tweak box already installed

boat browser is not a privileged app. It will not write everywhere on the sdcard with default kitkat privileges. you can change them manually or since you are rooted use an app like sdfix or an xposed module to do the change for you.

I have the same problem with the internal card. i can't download anything off of playstore anymore because it says insufficient memory. I am going to have to flash the stock b06 thing and start over. blows. Oh and there is like 12 gig available on the internal card and I dont see any other way around it. Maybe after refreshing I will be able to implement the newest root method and that will clear it up. Also I DON'T have a problem saving random objects to the samsung evo 64gb (omg you have to get one) because I did the kitkat fix and it worked fine.

PLEASE HELP File on SD card wont delete

Hey guys, i downloaded a movie onto my sd card and i can't get it off. I've tried to delete it it from the phone and also by inserting it into the computer. It says deleted but when i put my sd card into the phone the file comes back. What's going on with this?
Are you sure that the file aren't created automatically by the phone (or an app) ?

your right, the app i downloaded it from keeps trying to download it after i delete it. DUH ...let me see if it stays gone now. Thanks for the help man. Thank you very much.
Nope that didn't work either, it says it's deleted, but when i pop my sd card out then put it back in the file pops back up. I also deleted it from the app that downloaded it.
Maybe the SD Card is dead now?
What type of movie is it?
