Galaxy S5 :: Automatically Use SD Card Without User Manually Shifting Stuff To It?
Jan 25, 2015
My daughter has galaxy tab 2 and the one thing that really bugs me about is that we had to manually shift things to sd card. I thought tab would just do automatically. So got s5 yesterday v excited until i realise has only 16gb storage and we require sd card! Does s5 automatically use sd card or do i have to manually move stuff over? It appears there is alot that wont save to sd card but hoping photos,video etc can be stored there.
I'm a new android user. The problem I'm having is that when my wifi drops out or if I come home the Internet on my phone does not switch back from mobile data to wifi. I'm with bigpond and I have put the password into my phone and I don't need to put the password in each time but when I go to wifi settings it says sign in required and I press connect and the wifi turns on. As soon as I come home or the Internet drops out it switched back to 3G and doesn't connect back to wifi unless I do what I mentioned above.
The advanced setting on the wifi are Proxy-none Ip settings DHCP Signal strength- very strong Security wpa2 psk
I also have the smart network switch toggled to off. I have reset my telstra router.
I've wasted a lot of my mobile data this week before I realised that when I left the house or the net dropped out my phone was staying on 3G and not switching back to wifi the way my iPhone and every other phone I've owned did.
I just purchased a 32G SD card for my Galaxy S5. I installed the SD card and have been trying to move apps and pictures to the card, but when I try I get a notification saying there is insufficient space on the card. When I go into the settings and check the storage, the device storage is maxed at 16G, but the SD card shows 29G of available space. Also when I first put in the SD card, my camera automatically saved new pictures to the card but now they are all missing from my phone (there were only about 10 pictures) and I am worried they were somehow deleted from the SD card.
I got a Samsung Corby S3653 recently the one which has colours, does anyone know how can I shift the SMS storage to memory card & also when I am trying to install .jar games its being installed in phone memory is there any setting where I can shift the installation to memory card?
I understand that AMOLED screens tend to run warmer but it seems my device has some rather annoying color shift. When I look at the phone headon there is a bit of a yellow tint. However if I change the angle just slightly there is a blue/purple tint across the screen.
The yellow I'm seeing might be a true white but the color shifting to blue/purple is quite annoying.
This was a replacement device and I'm not sure if I remember this or not on my old device.
Have just bought a new E72.A 4 GB memory card is already inserted by Nokia and it has a lot on it - maps etc I guess.I am getting a 32gb card for additional stuff.How can I easily get the stuff from the original card onto the new card - can I just transfer it via a PC??
I already have my phone set up to save the pictures I take to the SD card automatically, but is there a way to make it save pictures I download/save like from facebook or something to my SD card?
I cannot transfer my phone's Contact list either automatically or manually from my Atrix 2 to my new Toyota Camry. Any chance Motorola has a patch or software update in the works? FYI, my wife's older cellphone will allow manual transfers to the Contact list so I know its not the car's problem.
I find that all my photos are stored locally on my Galaxy S5. I asked the ATT people about how I can get those photos stored on my SD card, and they couldn't work. I can't find a basic users manual anywhere, and the on-line forums seem to focus on much more esoteric issues. Is the only solution to periodically use my PC to manually transfer files to the SD card?
I have a movie folder on my laptop and SD card. I am regularly adding files to my pc folder. Is there a way or app that will automatically copy new files added to pc folder to my s5 SD card folder when the phone is plugged into the computer?
So I'm only posting here because I have the V10 but I'm pretty sure the SD card is the issue. All of a sudden I can't save anything to my SD card or pull anything off. Try to take a pick it says failed to write file but if I switch storage to phone it'll take the pic. Tried to move stuff from SD to internal and it just cancels. I can still see my files that are on the SD card such as pictures and music and pulling that stuff up works fine. Also have 20 gigs available on the 32 gig SD card and like 28 available on the phone.
I have bought an 8gb sd card but I dont know how to use it. I cant find a way to download things (from market) and make it go straight to the sd card. My phone always says it has no enough memory. I cant also update my software because of memory issues. And when I tried to connect my wildfire s to the computer.. it is recognized as desire hd.
I have a Canadian Xoom updated to 3.1, When I plug the usb into my laptop I see MZ604Device Storage - no SD Card. I have an SD card in the device which I can see when I access the 'Files' app.
My internal/phone memory in my x10 mini seems to be going down even though my sd card holds all my stuff. After app back up I then reinstall form sd card and the internal mem goes down, I am on about 44mb at the moment. I thought it would run from the sd card so the internal memory would not be effected as the other day a message said on my phone that memory was getting low! I have over 5gb spare.
i have a nokia 5530 xm. i had some corrupted music files in my music library so i made a back up-file on the computer and erased everything on the memorycard.Then i loaded all the stuff back on the memorycard. But then almost all my apps were gone, so i tried to download them again. But i can't click the 'download' button (it's dark gray, like if you've already clicked it) so i think the ovi store remembers that i have downloaded the apps before and it's like i have got them on my phone but i have checked all the installed apps and all the installation files in the application manager but they aren't there.
Looking for some advice I just started using W995 it was my husbands and he has had no problems. Today I got the phone and have been transferring stuff of my own e.g. photos, mp3s etc using windows explorer. When I transfer them to a new folder on the memory card I get weird garbled looking files as well appearing in the folder.
I have tried: Formatting the memory card. Deleting the folder (which I have to do by switching the phone of and back on first as it says it cant delete as there are files in). Adding a new folder same thing happens. I can upload a picture if it helps.
I was trying to create a second user account on my LG G3 and the setup process proceeded as expected and the second user was created. However, once I switched back to my main 'Owner' account, I found that my phone was no longer able to launch the apps which I had saved on my SD - my SD was loaded and I could read files and photos stored on it, but I was unable to launch the apps transferred to it from the internal memory. I had to delete the second user account in order to return full access to my SD.
I just came from a iPhone and I would just ask siri to remind me stuff like wake me up in 20mins or at 4pm remind me to pickup milk. Then at the 4pm the phone would beep and I would be reminded. I can't find any such feature with the S6. Sure it has a memo feature but it doesn't go off like a alarm or a couple of beeps to remind me to do it. Whats the point of having a memo feature if it actually doesn't remind you, and I don't think about checking my memos ever.
I recently updated my phone as prompted by my phone, I followed all the back-up/restore directions but when I click on 'User Guide' the message I get is "Cannot find User guide on memory card. The memory card has been removed or the files have been deleted. Is there a way to get it back?
I recently use a SD card in my Xperia Z3 Dual and then send all media files ( images,movie , music ,...) to sd card . So i define a Guest user in my device for my kid, i see that guest user can delete stored files in sd card.Is this my device defect or it is from Lollipop fault .Is the privacy note and aspects didn't consider for ability of definition several users in Lollipop.
For the past several weeks our organizations has experienced calendar appointments shifting a day forward. We are only seeing this for multi-day appointments for example....an appointment for Tuesday & Wednesday from 1pm - 4pm will shift to Wed - Thursday and become an all day event. This is only happening with Apple devices with most of our executives.
How to set the settings. On my S4, all I had to do was touch the little circular "Sync" icon. I have no such icon on my S6, so must wait for the next scheduled sync, I set it to 15 minutes. It does have a setting to set it to "Manual Sync" only, but I can't find a button or icon to do a manual sync.
Is there a way to manually lock the device instead of waiting for the amount of time you specify in setting to expire? I have the Galaxy S5 and would like to be able to quickly lock it with a key press or something similar. That way I can increase the time before it automatically lock for quicker access. Surely there's a way.
Recently I had to reinstall my rom and only restored my data partition. But now I have the problem that I cant use fingerprints. Seemingly something in the data partition tells him that there should be fingerprints but since he cant find them he gives an error.
After last system upgrade, my xperia ray's video camera is not working properly. It now records in 16/9 instead of 4/3 (Letter box) and I would be glad it would work fine but since then, videos are not recorded correctly. Image is not continuous, but it shifts randomly as it wouldn't be able to record without stopping. That gives poorer videos than with previous version. Other problem I have is that welcoming message is displayed twice when phone is starting.
In order to save energy, I told my S2 not to sync mails automatically. That works fine, I can just hit the "update" button. But is there a similar way to sync the calendar (or contacts)?
Maybe I looked the wrong places but it occurs to me I can either have sync on or not--and if I want to sync manually, I have to got to Settings->Accounts & Sync->Choose Account->Sync--that's a bit cumbersome.
