How to see external SD storage in the file browser? - Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers

I have formatted a class10 32gb ADATA microsd card as internal storage, and sure enough, apps download and install automatically on the emulated internal storage on the external SD card.
All fine and dandy, however I can't seem to be able to see and browse the content of the sd card. I tried the stock file browser and root browser, but they only show the actual internal storage.

Have you give permissions to access sdcard?

[Q] SDcard question(SGS)!

I just bought a SD card(8gb) to my SGS but my problem is that, when i'm about to download for example the sd card files(not the apk file) for Dungeon Defenders:First wave it says that there is no room for it on my internal SDcard so how do i install the files on my external sd card(2.5 GB left)? Is it something wrong with my sd card or is it just a setting? Because it must be possible to install the SD files to the external SD card and not just the internal SD card?
PS i got a Micro SD hc.
I am pretty sure you can't dl those files to an external, only internal. Try moving other files to your external to free up some space on your internal.
Thats what I have recently learnt,
its misleading to have a name apps2sd & not able to move apps to external sd.
Apps2sd, does mean moving an app to your external sd, just not the file for gameloft and other games requiring extra dl.

I don't understand what you mean, does apps2sd move the apps which don't require extra dl to external sd?
I don't think so as I cant move them to external by any means it only moves to internal sd partition.

[Q] Memory Confusion

My Captivate is running Android 2.2. I have a 2 gig external SD card. On the memory specs, it says the internal SD is 13GB, and the phone memory is 1.34 Gigs. I have the option of installing or moving applications between Phone memory or SD card.
1. Does phone memory mean the 1.34 gigs, or does it refer to the 13GB internal SD card.
2. When you install/move to SD card, which SD card is it referring to, the internal or the external?
They should make this a little clearer.

You app can be move either on your internal or external. I believe the app will move them to the internal by default.
As for your phone memory, I'm sure sure what you're trying to know here
i just kinda was writing about this
normally the apps get installed to the internal storage (the almost 2GB)
all apps2 sd methods install to the external SD
there is no way to install to the internal SD (the 13GB), that i have come across.
but it is really hard to fill up the 2GB internal storage.
for more kinda info see my thread from 10 minutes ago.
Apps2sd - internal sd? why the hell not?

[Q] Inaccessible internal SD card; CWM sees it - how to save data?

Hi fellow members,
I'm facing with inaccessible internal sd card problem since today morning. Everything worked fine, phone was a bit laggy so restarted it. After that, usual SD card check run and I keep getting "Damaged SD card - SD card is damaged. Try reformatting it." message External 32GB SD card works well.
Titanium Backup does not see the internal sd card anymore. Tried Root Explorer Lite, it does not see it either.
I have been using this rom for 2 months now without problems:
[ROM][GT-N7000][JB][4.2.1] Official CyanogenMod 10.1 Nightlies
When I boot to Recovery, ClockWorkMod does see both internal and external SD cards... Tried to hook up to PC while being in recovery to save data from internal card to PC, however it does not see the phone there.
Questions are:
how to fix internal sd without reformatting it?
how to save internal sd card's content to PC (either from recovery)?
what do you suggest?
Thank you in advance for your help.
ps: I do not have AT&T version of Note1, but the international.
Using this app right now for copying internal SD card content to external SD.

This app is simply amazing! Could select the whole internal sd card content and paste it to a folder on external sd card IN RECOVERY MODE. Now have to figure out how to fix the inaccessible inner sd.

Weird SD Card Name on MM(6.0.1)

Hi,
My phone is installed by a pre-rooted MM rom and currently it's working welll without any problem.
But I found out one issue for sd card name.
internal memory name is under 'sdcard'.
sd memory(External) name is under 'storage/9016-4EF8'.
I think some app's data is not moved to sd card(External) due to that sd memory name.
For example, I installed "Day" app and data is saved both 'Internal' and 'Ext' in Link2SD app and App2SD app.
I checked file location for the app using 'Link2SD' but app's file location is still in the Internal.
Internal - Data(Data in Link2Sd) : /data/user/0/com.osmino.day
External - Data on SD Card(Data(Ext.) in Link2Sd) : /data/media/0/Android/data/com.osmino.day (Why internal???)
So I could not move data to Data(Ext.) because it's already recognized Data(Ext.) to extern SD card.
I think External SD Card file location would be like this "/storage/9016-4EF8/data/media/0/Android/data/com.osmino.day".
How can I change sd card and internal name or move to external sd card to move to external SD Card?
Do you have any idea?
Thank you.

There are several paths to the external SD card with MM
/storage/exfat_uuid
is probably the shortest.
Download a copy of root explorer and familiarise yourself with the new MM file structure, it's not complicated, it just has new names from LL.
Using apps to move other apps onto the SD card doesn't sound like a recipe for success.
Let the Sony app manager do it.
thanks for reply.
then how can i move data to real external sd?
my storage is not enough so i need moving.
i think some app try to install data in external sd. I think many apps try to find sdcard named. currently sd card is internal memory. and exact sd card name is storage/9016-4ef8. i think that's why my internal memory is not enough.

Take the SD card out, save the data on it, then format it
When you put it back in your phone and it asks you what to do with the SD card, DO NOT format as internal storage. This feature doesn't really work, or if you do get it to work. then it's really buggy and apps can't use it.
Once you have the SD card working, just use settings/apps/*your app* In the first bar down it will say where the app is stored and if you click on it, it will give you the option to move it.

Apps to SD Card

Has anyone figured how to move apps to SD card? My internal storage is getting maxed out
You should be able to go to Storage and USB in Settings and format sd card as internal
