I had a sandisk SD card. Moved picture folders from device to SD card and LOST a ton of them. Read online I needed an official Samsung SD card so I bought one. Put it in yesterday and transferred pics over - so far so good.
Moved apps over to SD card using recommendations I read online, by going into device manager and now the apps are greyed out. They eventually work when you click them but their main icon isn't showing. Widgets I once had on home screens are also gone for those apps moved to SD card.
I've just installed the app 2 SD which moves your moveable apps to SD card. When I moved them to SD, went back to external SD and they don't appear to be there?
I've moved them manually by manage applications? Move to SD and I still can't see them?
Also I've created a folder on my SD card called "Camera" for my pics and videos. Set storage for camera to be on memory card. When I take a pic it saves pics and vids under DCIM in the external SD card. Is there no way to save pictures OTHER THAN DCIM? Even rename it won't work?
whee the moved apps gets stored in sd card. since i browse my sd card using pc & using "file expert" app . i moved some of my apps from phn to sd card . i cnt see the moved apps on sd card.
My Samsung Galaxy S5 memory was getting full so I moved 7.6 GB worth of photos onto my SD card (a 64GB micro SD card). It all went through fine and I could see that the photos had been moved to the SD card.
I went back to my the "Images" icon under the "My Files" icon and deleted them off what I thought was my internal phone's memory.
On reopening the SD card contents I have lost ALL the photos I moved plus other photos I'd previously moved to my SD card. How do I get these back???
I've been downloading music with uTorrent for a while now with no issues. I download the music and it defaults to my download folder on the device. I then manually move it to the SD card and everything is great. Now suddenly when I move it to the SD card, it won't show up in the music app. If I leave it on the device it is fine but once I move it to my music folder on the SD card, it won't show up.
I am using the stock music app but I checked the Google play music app and it doesn't show up there either. The only way I can get it to show up is to plug into my computer, copy the folder to it and then put it in my iTunes. Then I have to copy it from iTunes folder back to the SD card and it shows up. I've also tried unmounting, removing and remounting the SD card and that worked as well. Both of those solutions are super irritating, especially since it has been working great for ages and now is just not working all of a sudden.
I changed the settings at Messaging > Options > Settings > Other > Memory In Use. It was Phone memory so I changed to memory card. It moved all SMS to memory card.Then I received an SMS. When I clicked the SMS icon to open it, an error appeared on screen "cannot access messages on memory card. Changing memory to Phone memory" and then I could open the message. But all the old messages were not in the inbox. Only the new sms was present.I went to the settings again and changed to memory card. Now I can access the old sms but not the new sms stored in phone memory.How do I set options so that all SMS are stored in memory card by default?
I have seen this mentioned before but have never actually resolved it. When I run up iTunes (10.6 on Win XP) connected to my 3GS (5.1) and select the Apps tab all my apps are shown but all greyed out.
I've read everything I can find on greyed out apps and can't find a solution. I've re-installed itunes 3 times, I have restrictions turned off on my iphone, I've transfered purchased apps from my iphone to iTunes synced my iphone many times. Still with iphone plugged into itunes and apps checked I can't access any of my apps. The top half of the app screen is greyed out. I can access my files sharing apps on bottom half of screen.
am trying to fully clean up my phone for the next potential owner by doing a cache wipe, wiping all data from the phone and doing an SD card format.I had no problems getting into the recovery console and doing the cache & data wipe, but every time I go into settings/storage (in the normal phone powered up mode), the option to format the SD card is greyed out? I was able to connect the DX in PC mode to my computer and manually delete the items on it, but I wanted to do a clean format.
After the latest upgrade, 5.1.1, I had to reinstall due to problems with the volum buttom. No problem with the buttom any more, but now Spotify and a few other apps wont save offline lists to SD card. That was never a problem earlier. I have tried to delete cache and log out which was adviced on another thread, but no luck.
I took some videos last night when I went to a concert. My internal memory was getting full so it recommended moving them to the SD card which I did. Now I can't view the files and it won't play in any different video applications that I have downloaded. I reformatted the sd card after backing it up and still nothing! Why is this when I can see the files on my phone. They are there but won't play. I haven't done anything wrong! I literally am frustrated and want my videos back.
I just moved some games from phone memory to memory card on nokia x3-00. I open them, then when I close, they vanished completely, only the folder left there. How is possible?
I would like to do a factory reset on my Galaxy s5. While attempting to back-up files on my SD card I realized...I don't have an SD card. The problem with this is that my device shows many apps installed on the SD card (Settings->Device->Applications->Application manager shows apps on SD card).
There is nothing in the microSD card slot above the SIM card slot on the back of my phone. Is there another location for an SD card that I am not aware of and not seeing? If not, how is my phone reading that there are apps stored on the SD card when there is no SD card?
Ive searched the forums and everybody says to turn off the app you got to application manager/all then hit the turn off button. Well, my turn off button is greyed out. I've cleared cache, cleared data, cleared defaults. I've turned off flipboard and google newstand.This piece of crap app is still running and draining my battery.
on ICS, just tried to add a shortcut to one of my screens (it had/has room) and the add button will not work (greyed out) the shortcut i tried to add has not appeared, the button was working but stopped during the shortcut add?
i drive a nissan altima that doesn't have aux, bluetooth or usb and i'd like to listen to music (played from Internet and other online sites) with my samsung galaxy s2.!
I have my contacts synced with my gmail and for some of them i can set the picture but others i cant because the contact icon is greyed out. It's there a way to fix?
Every couple of weeks she asks me to fix her phone. Icons are moved from Home screen to 2nd screen. Weather widget is gone from Home screen. Is there a way to lock the format so icons can't be moved, deleted, etc?
As you see on pic widgets are moved from left side more then from right,and that is maximum size because I was trying resize more but that's is max what I can set.
Other than freeing up device memory are there any advantages to moving apps to the SD card? Like in a rebuild situation after an OS upgrade? If I move the card to another phone will the apps show up on the screen?
I Have a new Galaxy S5 (with lollipop 5.0), coming from a S3 (with 4.3).
The "problem" I have is that in the Galaxy S5, in lots of Apps that are selected to be moved to SD Card, only a very small amount of the App really goes to the SD Card, while on the Glaxy S3 it moved the whole App (most of it anyway).
I post an example (language is Portuguese) with the game Shadowrun in both the S3 and S5. It happens with several other games.
Is the problem related to the lollipop (apps not updated yet)? Is it Sd card related (I just moved it from my S3 without reformatting the card)?
Not sure how to go about fixing this, but ALL the apps I had "moved to SD Card" are now toast.
App manager lists the entries as filenames, the icons are semitransparent generic android icons, it tries but fails to load the apps and google play says its not installed.
The data is all on the SD card so i'd like them all back, it seems the OS (when it updated) simply forgot them when it optimized my apps for lollipop.
I HAVE to move apps to the SD card cuz these phones come with next to no built in storage. What a screwup.
I manually updated google play services and restarted the phone four times. I had to uninstall a chat app and it took fifteen minutes. After that fourth restart, all my apps appear to have been reinstated.
