There appears to be a problem moving files about on the SD Card when running under Oreo. It seems you can write to the card from say the camera or from the phone storage but moving or copying a file from the SD Card to another location on the SD Card doesn't work.
My mate with a different branded phone has the same issue so its not the Nokia 8, it is Oreo, anyone know of a fix?
Same issue here. Nokia TA-1004 updated to Oreo. SD Card has issues. Any files you copy to the SD card will have the file written physically, but with a read error on the destination file. The file will appear as zero bytes. But a simple restart will fix this.
Hope Nokia will fix this soon...
Edit: a restart will fix the files appearing correctly, but the issue still remains.

I can confirm this issue as well.
Tried total Commander and solid Explorer with same result - zero byte file
BTW factory reset does nothing as I have done it straight after updating to oreo (from recovery menu)
So, there's a way.
Use the default file manager, Files app. Copying and moving works well, from Internal to External memory and within also. I found the Files app rather basic, but it does work.
No zero bytes issue.
Just clear Files' app data and cache.
Works for me.
For 3rd party apps, we should wait for an update for the apps itself. I reinstalled File Manager + and X-plore, the issue is still present for these apps.
Maybe other file managers might work.

I didn't know that the Nokia 8 comes equipped with a file manager app, is it made by Google? Can I find it on the play store please?
Yes, Nokia has its own file manager. No, its not made by Google and its not available in Playstore either.
Its called "Files" app, v8.0, because its Oreo maybe.
If you're using a 3rd party launcher, maybe it won't appear in your app list. Use the default launcher.
Or go to Settings -> Storage -> Internal Storage -> Files.
If you have an SD card, tap on the SD card in the storage settings to open the Files app.
Its integrated in the OS, can't be disabled, and I also can't find a way to extract its apk.
Hope you find it...

Remove and try reading the memory card on a computer, see if your files are there.
Clean data and cache for the Files app, and try again.
Can you try with another card for a chance.
Am using a Maxell class10 16gb card.
I hope this issue isn't related to card speeds or capacity.
I didn't try other cards though.
And other file managers still has the issue.

It doesn't matter if the files are lost it was just to see if the default file explorer works correctly and it doesn't.
I am using a 64GB SanDisk Extreme Pro with 95MB/ reads and 90MB/s writes, i'd say that is a card that is up to the job. That said i don't think this is a anything to do with the cards people are using, i'd hazard a guess at Google changing how Android handles the files on an SD card in Oreo.
Well, seems we have to use the internal storage till Google makes this right...
Or the app makers work it out
At least X-plore works all right, Total Commander does have the problem as described.
No one seems to be updating any apps, i am wondering if Google borked it totally.
Well Google wouldn't care since they don't use SD cards on their devices. For me none of the 3rd party file managers work. Either we wait for Nokia to fix it or the app developers.
Also i discovered something else which is with the camera... If i choose to save the pictures on the SD when taking pictures, and press to see the photo from inside the camera app after i taken it, it wont open it.
It shows it as a small thumbnail that the photo was taken. Even if i go to the Photos to find the picture is not there. This only occurs when using the Nokia camera app and having selected to save on SD.
If i use a different camera app like the Google camera, or select from the Nokia camera app to save on the internal storage i don't have this issue.
I don't if that matters but im using a Samsung EVO Plus 64GB microSD

Try clearing the Cache Data for the stock camera app. On mine it works without issues, saving to Internal or SD card. I use a 16GB card though..

Never crossed my mind to clear the cache, did and works now.
The weird thing is, that i talked to the support about this and they told me that the camera app doesn't have permissions to manage the SD storage so it won't work

So I was getting unknown reason 18 error when trying to install certain apps from the market.
I've googled and search the forum. The best answer I could get was to wipe and reinstall the ROM, which I did not want to do.
Then I checked the logs and figured out the problem was that all those apps that would fail were trying to install on SD card by default.
The solution: move all the apps back to phone, put your microSD into a card reader and delete .android_secure folder. That's it!
didn't work for me
Worked
That worked for me. For ever I could not update Sky map. When I could not install Angry Birds I went "searching".
Thank you for the fix.
I don't think it'll work for me either.
None of my apps are on my SD. I know this because I can't even do that. When I try to transfer an app to sd it the progress bar just hangs there (doesn't move it just shows the striped pattern)
It worked!
Hey ho, it worked!! Finally the nagging issue is resolved (for me)
I can't find that folder/file! :S
.android_secure is hidden, you need to enable showing hidden files on your file manager. I use ES File Manager and it has such feature.
...or, you can just make sure your app is installed on the phone, then unmount the SD before updating.

i've had this error for quite some time - i realized i need to move the app back to phone in order to update it and then move it back to SD card.
Will try this method!
Thanks for posting
thank god this!!!!! work i'm was getting piss off at is unknown 18 **** it was hunting me in my dreams THANKYOU
Please, I have the same problem but I haven't space in my phone to return the SD apps. Is there another way to solve this?
Simple FIX
Just take out the sd card, install whatever is giving you an error, then pop the sd card back in. No fuss no muss!
Nice SIMPLE solution!
Thank you. Didn't involve rooting the phone, installing adb, saying magic mantras etc. etc.
Thanks

Ok, so I figured out a solution that is hopefully "better" and "quicker" for all. Simply connect your phone to your computer (as USB Mass storage), browse to the folder '.android_secure' (make sure you can view hidden files/folders in windows) and delete the file 'smdl2tmp1.asec' (I just renamed it 'smdl2tmp1.asec.delete' just in case it didn't work).
Problem solved! Everything updates just fine now and I didn't have to move any apps back from the SD card to the phone.

Hi, I'm totally mystified why a number of my photo files (jpgs) are not accessible via Quickpic or ES File Explorer. They're all on my external card and were, until a few days ago, viewable without problems. In Quickpic the images show as grey squares and when I try to open them I get 'Load Failed'. I have a similar problem in ES Explorer and it won't let me move the files. However, in stock Gallery the pics are there and I can open them.
The only thing I can think of that may be causing problems is to do with the mapping of the NTFS formatted SD Card. I was using NTFSSD but have tried all the other mount apps in an attempt to try and resolve the issue. I'm currently using Paragon which seems to work ok.
I've also uninstalled quickpic along with clearing the Dalvic and partition caches but nothing seems to cure it.
To be honest I've had loads of trouble accessing the internal and external cards since I formatted the external as NTFS.
I'm beginning to think the image files are corrupted but it's odd that I can see them using the stock gallery app. I'd be really grateful for any advice anyone could offer on this.
Many thanks,
- Bruce

Hi,
I have a question regarding media storage location of Whatsapp - I don't necessarily expect a solution but would like to at least verify the behaviour on other phones.
My old android device (Sony Ericsson SK17i) saved the Whatsapp media files to the external SDCard.
I bought a S3 mini this week and noticed a difference: Whatsapp media files are not stored on external SDCard anymore, but on the internal storage. I guess that this comes from the internal storage being presented as SDCard0, so maybe Whatsapp thinks that this is in fact the external SD-Card.
Can somebody with S3 mini check how this behaves with his phone? Within Whatsapp I didn't find a way to configure this, can anyone think of a solution to that?
Many thanks in advance.

How do you managed to make the default Image preview program to work properly?
I marked the "Media verification" checkbox on the folder mount configuration so that de SD Card folder wouldn't appear on the image preview program, but now I only can see some black thumbs with no image "attached" that points to internal memory.
Did any of this happened to you? Or something similar with the images or how you see them?

This seems like a solution to my problem- moved my whatsapp media folder using the manual settings in Gl to SD, but it seems wonky. I took a picture of myself and sent it to someone, and it worked fine. Image is stored in my "sent" folder on the card, which also shows up in internal if I browse there with an explorer. I click on the image in whatsapp, it becomes full screen.
But when someone sends ME an image, it seems to never download. I see the thumbnail, I click it, and then it says that the media is not found on the SD card.
Sure enough, I browsed the folder in explorer (hooked up to my computer as PTP, browsing in windows 7) and the file isn't there. Only the one that I originated. I tried to create a file there, and it actually timed out on me and said device wasn't available. So it seems to sometimes work but not other times? How strange!

Hi!
This is the Sd 128Gb I bought:
http://www.amazon.it/SanDisk-Androi...784&sr=8-1&keywords=micro+sd+128+gb+classe+10
I think that is a good one!
I saw that this kind of problem starts with Kit Kat, isn't correct?
It's very strange that I cannot copy from the device any file in the Sd card and viceversa!
Many thanks for your kind help!
It's probably not strange and yes, things changed with KitKat. But since you're still refusing to tell us what exactly you're trying to do and how, we cannot help you.
The device can read the SD card, but cannot write in it any kind of file; it's impossible to move or to copy, paste or delete any kind of file, using all file manager you can find in the google play, also trying with resco explorer for rooter user (my Z3 compact isn't rooted). I hope that this explanation can be clear enough!
It's very strange that you can use the Sd card like the older Jelly Beam system, that allow to move o copy any file from one directory to another or from the internal memory to the SD card!
Many thanks again for your kind cooperation!
Of course it's perfectly possible to copy to/from sd card on KitKat, otherwise what would be the point of even having them in KitKat devices.
But usage is more restricted than in earlier Android versions. Tell us *exactly* what you're trying to do, and we can point you in the right direction.

Is it clear?

With the File Commander provided by Sony you can manage the SD, but you cannot use the directory which you created (that seems to be only for reading and not for writing) for example, for downloading files from app of the device (e.g. Ttorrent).

You *can* use it for writing ... with File Commander ... but as I stated, otherwise apps can only write to their own folders, e.g. SD card > Android > data > com.yourapp.something
Apps that support saving to SD card will typically have the option in their app settings, and they'll use their own app folder for that. Like Google Music or all of Sony's own apps.
You can also copy stuff to/from top level folders via USB or Wireless Media Transfer.

I can't delete photos from my SD since I started using QuickPic rather than the ultra buggy default 'Album' app thing.
Because the same policy applies to all user apps, they only have write access to their own folder for security reasons.
Hello.
Its been a while and I've been using the SD as an internal memory for a while. While I love this feature there is a very weird thing with this feature that if you move an app to SD and if it gets an update, it gets moved back to the internal storage which is slightly inconvenient. However more inconvenient is the fact that all the app data gets lost in this updation procedure.
Would any kind soul suggest a workaround or a script to get around this annoying glitch? I mean I really love this feature but it obviously needs polish from Google.
Also another thing is while shifting these apps back to SD, it sometimes says not enough space (despite having lots of it). On the second try it shifts. Any idea what's up with this?
Thanks!
I am having the exact same issues and the same complain.
Being on a device having only 4GB of internal storage (that too only 2.28 GB usable) this "adopt as internal" feature in Marshmallow really came as a boon. However with these issues the whole idea becomes worthless.
I did a bit of search on Google about this feature. For nexus phones on marshmallow there is a "Migrate data" option to the SD card adopted as internal. However this is not available for our devices. It only shows up in the internal storage and lets you migrate from SD to internal? Grrrr....what good would that do?
Any kind of workaround would really help and convince me to keep this phone for another year maybe
I think you're getting confused. We too have the same option but this moving back to the internal storage on updation is something Google needs to address..

Since google's nexus phones lack sdcard slots, this feature was probably introduced keeping android one series phones
in mind, however there is so much confusion regarding it's objective at the moment,for it is only partial implementation of sdcard as internal memory. After updates I am aleardy down to 500mb space on internal storage, the point is if despite using sdcard as internal storage if my original storage space still runs out--what purpose does it serve then? I would have used link2sd otherwise,but this feature put me like many others in dilemma.
Yeah mate, really disappointing..
I have the exact same problem
What was google thinking before releasing this half finished feature
I hope there is an update soon to fix this problem
Some apps disappear after reboot
After moving apps to sd, apps like mxplayer, Microsoft word etc just disappear.
They are automatically uninstalled.
Can anyone confirm this??
Also it would be great if someone finds a workaround these problems
Yup Firefox disappears everytime I install it. So do many other apps..

This is so not cool man.
Whats the use of this feature if apps keep on disappearing
My observation is that the apps which directly get installed on SD card have these issues.
The apps that gets installed on internal first and then moved to SD, survives reboot.
Maybe app developers can make changes to their apps to support this functionality.
Clearly a half assed attempt from Google on this..I re-flashed my ROM and didn't chose the portable storage option. Link2sd doesn't work on Marshmallow yet so I'm just stuck with a typical 4GB internal memory crap phone.

Make two partitions on your sd card, select portable storage option in Marshmallow, install apps2sd,it has all features of link2sd for free,I am using it myself.

Like I said before, simply use sdcard as portable(don't forget to make two partitions) and use apps2sd(it also has an inbuilt partitioning tool), this is by far the best setup as of now to overcome internal memory constraint

Once booted up, I choose "portable" and then I open app2sd: app2sd say 2nd partition is not mounted and ask to remount or recreate mount script.
If I try to remount I get an error: mounting /dev/block/vold/179:66 on /data/sdext2 failed No such file or directory.
If I try to recreate the mount script, app2sd ask to choose sd card 2nd partition and file system type.
I am choose /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 and ext4 file system, then app2sd ask to reboot.
After rebooting app2sd says again that 2nd partition is not mounted and ask to remount or recreate mount script.
Could you please explain steb by step what I have to do?
Thank you!
SOLVED dismissing the notification when the phone ask to choose the sd card mount (portable).

Of course!! You can't use even link2sd without root.

same issue, app disappears or data gets lost or sometimes all apps start crashing untill reboot (when this happens cant modify/write anything on sd card, reboot fixes this though )

if your apps disappear after reboot, just transfer them to internal storage and it won't disappear after that
6.0.1 has made this feature unusable.
after updating to 6.0.1 most of the apps cant be moved to external sd.
internal storage gets filled with google apps
this really sucks

After moving apps to sd, apps like mxplayer, Microsoft word etc just disappear.
They are automatically uninstalled.
Can anyone confirm this??

Exactly! This is the issue that I was facing.
