Hi everybody. I am trying to get my daughters phone set up. She is 20, very busy, and I only get the phone an hour or so at a time which is frustrating. I have modded my own android phones(Note, Infuse,Gnex) so I'm not a beginner, but this captivate glide is acting a little different.
Here is where I am. CWM is installed and a backup of 2.3.6 is done, and a copy saved on my laptop. I have ardatdat's 1.2 version kernel ready to flash for root and to remove the IQcarrier junk. She will probably stay on stock, rooted since she is not into teching her phone but does want to remove ads and maybe tether to a tablet occasionally on ATT without a tethering plan- tit BU and freezing or removing the tethering manager.
I am having trouble getting the phone to recognize an 8 gb sd card. I have repartitioned it so more apps can be moved over(primary fat32 and logical-ext 2) and split the card to 4gb and 4gb.(approx)- even when just left as a one partition card with 8gb fat 32 the phone just won't recognize it. I put the old 2gb card into the phone and that one is recognized but is from a non android phone- an LG xenon.
I want to put the zip files to flash on the external sd card along with a few apk's ti install with the appinstaller. But.. the phone won't see the files. Do I have to use the internal storage?????
Don't have the phone now- it's off to work with her. So I will try later tonite. Any suggestions??
Thanks. Open for any help here. I have never had this much trouble before! Have searched for sideloading apk's, but from what I am finding it has to be rooted first??? I have checked unknown sources for install of 3rd party apps and usb debugging also checked.
I will continue my hunting for info. I'm sure it's just basic stuff I'm just not seeing. Thanks again
Ah. CWM Recovery is not compatible with the external sd card, I believe. It's located under /sdcard/external_sd but the zips are invisible in the recovery. So yes, I think you have to use internal

Thanks for that. Did not read that anywhere! Any idea about apks on the external sd card?
Ive tried that too... The apps are located in the data partition on the kernel so that is already directed to internal... The only things most people put are Media like movies because music players scan the entire /sdcard partition and the /external_sd is in it.
Hope this helped ^o^

You may need to format the sd card in the phone itself to get it to show up, some people have had problems with cards formatted in other devices or a pc.
I haven't tried a dual partition card in the Glide, but I came from a Motorola Flipside which had an absolutely tiny amount of space for apps, making link2sd and the second partition virtually mandatory. The Glide, however, has 2gb internal memory for apps, and the ~3.75gb internal memory that's mounted as /sdcard that you can store apps on with the standard Move to SD build into android, so I can't imagine anyone needing more storage than that for standard apps.
You can always points Titanium Backup to /sdcard/external_sd, my backup folder tends to get pretty big since I keep multiple backups. If she's installing a ton of games that have extra downloads to the sdcard though, you can fill up the internal "sd card" pretty quickly, and there's only a couple of ways to deal with that. She can give you the phone after installing those games and downloading the extra data, and you can manually move the data over to the external SD and create symlinks yourself, which can be tedious.
Alternatively, you can modify the vold.fstab to change the mount points, putting the real external sd as /sdcard and the internal storage as /sdcard/external_sd. There's instructions for this here. The vold.fstab method is what I personally use, as I've got a 32gb sd card and far too many games that want to download 500mb+ each.

Hi and thanks. I just read about that mod. Is it as straightforward as just rewriting that file in rootexplorer? It sounds too easy!
I was gonna format the sd card in the phone but was not sure it would format the internal card and not the external one since I can't seem to get it recognized. I would be in big do do if I erased her stuff!!! It might be a bad card and I'll try an alternate one.
Yep, it's really as easy as snagging the file, editing it, and rewriting it in root explorer (or a shell, I haven't bought root explorer so I tend to do things from the shell). As for formatting in the phone, it should list both an SD card and USB storage, the usb storage is the internal storage, and the sd card is actually the sd card, it *should* have a format option there if the card is good, even if it's not seeing the files on it.
Thank you all!!!!!

Piece of cake!!!!! :highfive: We now have the external sd card (only 8gb for now) mounted instead. Whoever came up with that very clever work around is genius. That's better than apps2sd or link2sd.
Thank you so much to everyone who responded. Between all of you I have Rooted with the kernel on the internal card, and the appinstaller saw the apks when I put them on the internal card. My original 8gb card was bad. It was a cheap one- $5 or $8 dollars. I got 2 and the 2nd one works fine- formatted in my computer and phone saw it immediately. I transferred the stuff from the internal to the external. Did I need to do that? I left it on the internal incase the sd card is removed. Tethering manager is removed- att junk is frozen.
One more question if I may? If another rom is flashed, or I odin back to stock for whatever reason, does this sd card switch stay, or is it overwritten with the new rom? Just need to know what to do if I ever need to reset this phone.
I also added my google account to the market to put my paid apps on her phone but when I signed in to the play store under my account my paid apps did not show as paid. Anyone know why? I worked around it but I was surprised.
Again thanks to such a nice group of people! :highfive: I had a crash course in the captivate glide in 24 hrs. You gave me info here I don't think I could have found with continued searching.

Moving everything that was on the internal memory to the SD card was a good call, since you swapped the mount points everything that stored stuff on the internal memory will now expect that stuff to be on the sd card. There's no need to keep it on the internal memory (you can delete everything there and it'll recreate LOST.DIR) unless you plan on swapping back at any point, in which case you could just copy stuff across before swapping back.
As for flashing another rom, that'll require you edit the vold.fstab again unless the rom has already made that change, which none of our existing roms have.
Personally, I keep the internal memory completely empty as far as daily use things go. CWR will store its backups there, as it mounts the memory independently of the vold.fstab, and all roms/kernels/etc you want to flash can go there, leaving the sd card free for things you actually use.
Bak- thank you so much for all the info. I saved the original file and I will make a copy of the edited mount file in case I need it again. If I ever get her phone back I will clear the internal card since that info is now on the external one.
I wonder how long this captivate glide will hold up with my daughter. She is very hard on her cell phones. Already case #1 broke due to a drop. 2 more are on the way. When I pointed out it could have been the phone broken she said- yeah, I know. I'll keep the case on. :victoryshe hates cases!) Hopefully this phone will get her thru her senior year in college!
Thank you everyone who pitched in to get me the info I needed to get it going. :laugh:

Hey guys I just wanted to ask u all a question bout upgrading sd cards on the Evo. I just purchased a Lexar 32gb class 10 sd card from Amazon. I still hav the stock 8gb card that has all my data....music,movies,music videos,custom roms,kernals amd so on. I hav heard that some people are having problems with changing their cards. So my question is what is the proper procedure to getting this transfer to be successful. Is it better to format new card thru windows or phone? Do I need to partition the new card? What is the easiest procedure to transfer my 8GB card stuff to my new 32gb card. The reason Im asking is I dont want to corrupt the new card in anyway...as u all kno they are NOT CHEAP!!! I just want the transition to workout smoothly with NO problems. Any advice wud b much appreciated. Thanks Yall!!! Evo runnin MikFroyo v4.61 w/ netarchy-toastmod-4.3.4-cfs-havs-more-nososbc...overclocked to 1152mhz.
Copy the contents of your current card onto your computer or an external drive. Shutdown your device. Remove your current card and replace it with your new card. Make sure your device supports the 32 GB size. Reboot your device. Many cards already come formatted, however, it wont hurt to reformat it to be sure. When your phone finish booting up, go to the SD card and phone storage setting within the menu. Select unmount SD card. After it unmounts, the option to format it will appear. Select format. When finished, select mount. Back out of that menu back to your homescreen. Connect your device via USB to your computer or external drive and transfer the items you copied to your newly formatted card. Reboot your device when you're finished. You can also format from your computer and from within recovery. Take your pick.

If am not wrong EVO supports max 16 GB and EVO Shift is 32 GB
^You're mistaken, the EVO does support the 32gb.
Says so on the HTC support page for EVO
Whew, you had me scared for a moment... I just ordered the same 32 gb microSD this morning. :]
I've been through 2 lexar 32gb cards. Within a matter of weeks to days, I was getting data corruption. Not sure if it's limited to the lexar class 10 cards, or any class 10. It would appear to function fine at first. At some point during the day i'd go to check my email and get a sd card mounted in read only mode message on the status bar. Rebooting would usually not help. Had to hook up the phone to the pc, mount the sd in recovery, then run a chkdsk. I'd typically get many many corrupted files.
Now mind you, i'm always careful to shutdown properly, only mount the sd when recovery. I've come to the conclusion that there is some incompatibility issue either due to the size, or perhaps lexar's ability to be downward compatible with the slower speed devices (I think the evo can only take advantage of up to class 6 devices).
Lets hope you have better luck than I did, but after multiple corrupted files, I'm back with the stock card, which has caused no issues at all (besides being low on space).
i have 32g patriot class 10 card and it works great for me. i just transfered my old sd card stuff onto my computer via the card adapter it came with. i inserted and formatted my new card into my phone. and transfered everything from my computer tomy phone via usb.
Ditto on the formatting with the phone. Since i am using ext, it had to be via the phone as I don't have the right tools to do it in windows.
FWIW, with the initial lexar card, there were no problems for nearly 3 weeks. With the replacement card they sent me, issues started showing up 2 days later. Could be my phone is less tolerant of media quality than others..
one thing you need to remember when copying the files, is to hit the option to see the the hidden files on your sd card, if you dont your phone will have glitches because it will be missing those files, because when they are hidden they dont get copied
Hate to hijack here but it's along the same lines.
If I don't listen to music or take a bunch of pictures what if any difference will I notice upgrading my class? Sorry I am coming from a Vibrant that had 14gigs internal and the sc card was purely optional.
I was thinking about just getting an 8 gig class 10 if it would make a difference.
pc to dupe sd card?
Could you just copy the sd card using an adaptor to your pc hard drive, then copy the files onto the larger sd card, again using the adapter in the pc. then install the new sd card into the phone? I am new, to this, i'm just askin.
blairan...I think you wud b safe to do that but u must format the new sd card first via phone(itself) or thru windows before any transfer of data is made. My question was simply that I hav read that many people hav had complaints bout corrupted files being present thru their new cards. Or problems with "read only" errors and not being able to access things on the card. If u are rooted and are running a custom ROM that allows Apps2sd to help free up internal memory on ur phone then u wud also need to partition the card as well to allow that. I just dont understand why their have been so many people having these problems with the 32g class 10 cards.
blairan...Im pretty sure u wud be safe to do that but if it is a new card u must make sure it is formatted first via phone itself or windows before u transfer anything to it. My question was simply I dont understand why so many people have complained bout corrupted files and or read-only errors on the 32g class 10 cards. Problems that seem to arise days or weeks later after installing new cards. I wud really like to get to the bottom of it and find out why.

If anything, you'd probably notice quicker loading from apps that you've moved to the SD card. But admittedly, video, music, and photos are the places you'd see the most tangible improvement.
Doug,
I've tried this several times (I think I'm up to double digits, now) on my rooted Evo running the stock ROM. After I transfer all the files and reboot, several apps are not installed and the phone says it has a low amount of space. I've tried restoring a Clockwork Mod backup as well and I get the same thing. I have everything backed up in Astro, but when I try to install the missing apps, the low memory issue prevents them from being installed. Should I remove all my apps and start over? Should I un-root my phone and do a factory reset? I'm so frustrated I'm about to do the latter.
I'm upgrading to a 32GB class 10 card and I just can't figure it out. Any thoughts?

No, you do not need to unroot, but I do recommend you start from scratch. Since you already have the contents of your card backed up to your computer, go into recovery and re-partition and re-format your card. In amon_RA select "partition SD card" from the main menu. You will be prompted to set a size for 3 different things. Insert a zero each time. Doing so will allow you access to your entire card. Afterwards, copy the rom you want to use to the card via the MS-USB or the Mount USB option, if using ClockworkMod and flash it. Your paid apps will be listed in the Market after you've logged in with your credentials. Your unpaid apps will have to be redownloaded and reinstalled unless you have them backed up to Google's servers or backed up with Titanium Backup. Anyway, you will have a clean install of your rom, a clean install of your apps and a freshly formatted and partitioned SD card. If you still get the low memory error afterwards then I am assuming you have too many apps on your internal memory and thus, you will need to move many of them to your SD card to free up your internal memory. There are tutorials available to learn apps2sd. Anyway, I hope this helps you.

Hey everyone, pretty much first serious post. Hope someone can help me with it.
I have an At&t Galaxy s3, running the latest aokp rom, by task 650, its up to android 4.3
my issue is that i can add files to my phones internal sd card and its external sd card, but once i restart, the files are gone. all my files that i added even as long as a week or two ago are still there, even some things that i delete return once i reboot. i can move files from my internal sd card to the external and they stay after a reboot and vice versa. so i know that things can be added. but for some reason when i transfer music through windows file explorer to either sd card as soon as i reboot those files are gone. when i xfer the files it does say that "your device might not be able to play or view this file."
i can even play the music for a while after copying it as long as i don't restart, eventually it starts to go into hyperdrive so its a second of squiggles then goes to next song.
even if i transfer files through a wifi based app like air droid or just using an app to copying over a shared network the same thing happens.
i don't think that the internal sd card or external are corrupt because i can move files back and forth as long as they were on the device originally.
i don't know if i should reformat my external sd card because i doubt it would fix it then i'd be out of all my music.
really hoping someone can help me,
this was happening before i upgraded to 4.3 having done that only a day or two ago and it has been happening for at least a couple weeks, and it worked on the 4.2 version i had because i took me a couple months to upgrade to 4.3 and in that time i did add files to the internal and external.
last thing to mention, with a torrent phone app when i download files they also dissappear.
hope someone can help me with this, and that it's simple.
i'd rather feel dumb than it be something complicated.
thanks for any and all help yall can give.
update
I did a full clean install of the aokp rom i'm on wiiping everything instead of just the dalvik cache and cache, which normally works fine.
now the internal sd card retains the files i'm adding to it, even after a couple reboots. which is a step up. but the external still won't let me add files to it, even if i copy them over from my internal to the external using astro file manager or es file explorer. on restart files are gone from the external. i don't think that the external sd card is corrupt but i'm copying all the file off of it right now, then plan to reformat. not sure how i'll go about it, but i really hope it works.
this is really frustrating, its a 64gb external micro sd card that has always worked perfectly.
any input at all would be a great help.
update 2
my external sd card is the problem then i guess, because i put it in my brothers phone, did reformat, and it says reformating deleting all data. then remounts it.
shows exact same amount of available space and storage, stuck at 42.2gb or whatever, if i go into the sd card manually and delete files as soon as i reboot the phone all the files are back.
is there anyway to fix this?
Curious if anyone has modified the partition table on the device? With the System taking up 4 some gigs... seems silly not to shrink it down a bit for more app usage. Any thoughts on this one or am I just thinking silly on it?
I think the same but i found nothing. I flashed a debloated rom for the 10.1 and now have 1.2GB free on system parts. I used titanium backup to transfer some app from data to system but it's boring. But it's nothing compared to my MicroSD card memory

I did transfer some apps over as well, or in reality can remove them because they sit on the SD partition because of updates (really wish it would just update to system by default). I know moving some updates over just screws it up, let alone just moving screws up the icons on the desktop portion.
I don't have a de-bloated rom right now. The way I see it, its being used or wasted at this point. Apps don't seem to be slowing it down, though im sure a few are running in the background, but nothing that has hampered battery life like my previous Nexus 7 (2013). This seems to do much better at not wasting power. Guess im not being as picky as I use to with random apps chewing up space.
I would of jumped all over a 32GB edition from the get go. Paired with a 64GB SD card, its win win. Even now it is, just can't install everything I want to in 1 go since most apps still are stored locally on the main internal SD Partition and can't be transferred over. I can live with it, and im sure someone will figure it out. I know I use to do it with an old phone that had, next to no internal memory (a loong time ago). PITA to update, but well worth being able to use the phone.
You can use FolderMount [ROOT] to create a symbolic link between internal SD card and external to move your application.
For example if you want your google offline music on sdcard you can mount /sdcard/android/data/com.google.android.music on external sdcard.
It is possible to do it for every folder so it solves the problem :highfive:

Yeah just read into that. Thanks for the link so it reminds me.
Course, internal storage is always faster But for music/movies obviously SD Card just works fine with that.
Don't flame me to bad for starting a thread on this.
Ok I Picked up a note 4 DE, did the sd card fix so apps like titanium and root explorer and what not can access and actually use the 128 GB micro sd card I picked up specifically for the phone, but that still leaves things to limited because anything I would download or some of the other apps I use has other data to go along with the app and fill up the FAKE sd card in essence making the 128 sd card useless and I shouldn't have to always move something that will only download to the FAKE sd card from there to the REAL sd card, or give my private data to google, they can call the NSA if they want it that bad, and I'm not going to make it easy for google to farm my data for the NSA either.
I've been searching and searching on how to swap the two around so the phone thinks the REAL sd card is the FAKE sd card so the phone works the way it's supposed to.
I've edited the vold.fstab file before in a tablet I had, to swap the two storages around, which worked, but vold.fstab file for the tablet had two entries in it for the mount points for the FAKE and REAL sd cards, but the note 4 only has one mount point showing in the vold.fstsab file and I've tried looking but I can't find what block the the mount points are on, I've used terminal and see that /dev/block/vold/179:65 seems to be the extSdCard but don't see anything for the emulated sd card.
and the app External 2 Internal that used init.d to make the swap is no longer available on the market??? Besides if I was going to go that route I wouldn't load another app to do it.
So does anyone here know how to go about what I'm trying to accomplish here for the note 4? Able to refresh my memory; am I doing it right to find the mount points for the storage? Can Direct me to a guide that will work for our notes? Or has already done this and has a proven method? I've spent many hours reading and searching this out and this being my first Samsung device I'm not to familiar with them coming from HTC and I'm not to versed on this kitkat either, I don't have the time I once had to dig in and keep as up to date on things.
Thanks in advance for any and all that can help me out with this.
when i format my SD card to be used as internal storage and i place a ROM on the SDcard to install / update the Rom im on i cant locate the zip at all. Is because its formated as internal and also when i connect to my computer only the sdcard shows not the internal memory any ideas
Let me just give you an other warning, when using Custom ROMs you should not use internal storage, because the moment you decide to switch ROMs and you either choose to or have to wipe /data, strangely it will wipe and corrupt an SD card,, its weird because wiping /data doesn't touch the real internal storage but if your SD is set as internal storage it wipes it.
I learned that the hard way, I switched to a custom ROM on my HTC 10, I was using SD Card as Internal for the first time on this device in Stock Rooted ROM, the very second I wiped /data to do a clean flash, TWRP said "can't mound sd card".
The card was wiped in a weird format so it was corrupted, a 64GB Sandisk Ultra became a 16GB card that wouldn't properly mount even in windows, yes for real! even formatting in Windows 10 wouldn't fix it, I had to use a special tool from sandisk's website to repair the card.
After all of this I searched XDA to confirm this is a real issue, it wasn't just weird bad luck, so if I were you I would be careful or just switch back to SD External Mode.
The final conclusion is this feature is very nice for the regular world with OTA's but it seems in the Root world it can be a disaster, which I'm sure why you could be having issues as well.
EDIT: I forgot to mention, the last part you mentioned is normal, internal storage will no longer be accessible in Windows or even Android for you, apps can still install there though, and in the App Manager you have the choice where you want a particular app installed.

No problem, I will tell you my set up if it helps you, I use SD as External, all my Music, Photos, Videos, Game ROMs(SNES, N64, etc), TWRP backups, any ROMs or flash stuff is all on the SD.
My internal storage is usually never touched by me file transfer wise, all apps and other caches and such are stored there by force but I still have a good amount of space because of the SD help still.
And I have a bit of apps, including all the big file sized GTA games, Real Racing 3, etc.
Good luck on what you decide is best for you!
