I wanted to extend my storage with SD cart but even after turning on "Force allow apps on external storage". I still cant install nor transfer any apps on it. What should I do to fix it?

To make an “internal” SD card portable so you can remove it from your device, visit Settings > Storage & USB, tap the device’s name, tap the menu button, and tap “Format as portable.” This will erase the contents of the SD card, but you’ll be able to use it as a portable device afterwards.

Every time I plug-in the phone to the PC, it deleting all the apps on the SD card, What should I do ?
Give it a few minutes after you unplug your phone, they should come back. They're not getting deleted. When you plug your phone into the computer, it unmounts your sd card. That means all of your apps that are on your sd card lose their link to the phone. Once the sd card remounts and is completely scanned, the apps are relinked.
I steal have the apps, i just cant enter them, i know what i am saying

This can usually be avoided by unmounting the phone on your pc FIRST (by right clicking the directory and choosing "eject", or by using the icon in the bottom right on the task bar, assuming you're using windows).
Then you should unmount from the phone by selecting "unmount usb storage" or something like that, from the phone itself.
Only when you've done both of these things should you disconnect the cable from the phone. I follow this process every time and I never get the temporary sluggish behaviour after unmounting.
I'm using a few weeks my sd card as adoptable storage, but I am totaly not happy. It ejects every time when I open my galery. It's driving me crazy. Is there a way to make it stop ejecting? If not, please someone help me undo this. I want to transfer everything back to my internal storage but I can't. Transferring does not work.
please someone

You can't IIRC. You have to do a factory reset.
just got to the settings and select storage, select sdcard, then it will say "format as portable". youll have to back up stuff to pc first, like photos and videos. apps will be lost, you may be able to use titainium backup to restore them but I'm not sure.
it may be your card, I never had any "ejecting" issues when I used it. my phone would get to hot while using it though and performance suffered
afuller42 you're performance suffer because you had to slow SD card.
To go back from adoptable to portable storage open Settings/Storage/Phone storage/hit 3 dots od the right top corner/migrate data, bit be sure you don't have more data on SD that's your internal storage of the phone. That's all, then you can format your sd as a portable storage.

I have one of the fastest cards available the Samsung pro+ 128gb 90mb / 95mb/sec
I like how you assumed what card I used
I have read many threads on this topic and they all have solutions to this problem, but none of them are working on my phone.
Ever since my phone upgraded to 6.0.1, all of my apps were moved back to the internal storage. I no longer have any option at all to move my apps to the SD memory card.
I tried to root my phone to bypass this issue (as Google seems unwilling to fix it), but whenever I try to root my phone, it either fails, or says that it cannot be done. I have tried Kingroot, KingoRoot, iRoot, TWRP, Kingo, and various other methods. Evidently, there is no way to root this phone.
I am not sure if this is a LG K10 issue or just 6.0.1. I have a friend with a Samsung J7 and they have the same problem.
Ideas?
The apps cannot be moved to SD card without using apps like link2sd (root required) or using adoptable storage (android 6+) feature. Actually apps can be moved without this but a number of conditions need to be met so very small apps can be moved in case you even have option built in, vut app data can't be moved without theese two solutions mentioned above.

The problem is that my previous android phones had the ability (depending on the individual app) to move the app to the SD card. Since the release of 6.0.1, that option went away. I checked on every app on my phone, the option is flat-out gone.

That is readily obvious, but still not a solution. This bullsh*t about not being able to move apps to my sd card is not unique to me. I have been reading dozens of accounts from other people with the same exact problem. It is also not unique to the LG K10 phone as friend with a Samsung J7 has the same problem.
Since rooting 6.0.1 is not yet possible, is there a way to roll back to 6.0?

Do you have the KDZ firmware file for 6.0? If yes then you can rollback to 6.0 using my guide.

OK, I had to replace my SD card because I have big clumsy hands and I broke it. I have also decided to reset my device to the factory defaults just in case that was causing my problem. So now we are starting with a brand new blank Sandisk 32GB Class 10 SD card and a fresh install of the Android 6.0.1 operating system.
I went to the link you suggested and started with the process. My phone is plugged in and I selected "File Transfer" from the phone so that my computer sees it. I opened a command window on Windows 10 (Yes I have adb installed and running already) and typed "adb shell" and I get the following result.
C:\Users\Charles>adb shell
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *

Did you enabled usb debugging in developer options?
Maybe you'll need adb drivers for your device.

I have "Developer Mode" turned on. I went into those settings and "USB Debugging" is greyed out. I cannot select it. How do I turn it on?
I was recently given instructions on "Formatting as Internal" on my Marshmallow Android phone.
1. Go to device “Settings”, then select “Storage”.
2. Select your "SD Card", then tap the “three-dot menu“ (top-right), now select “Settings” from in there.
3. Now select “Format as internal”, and then “Erase & Format”.
4. Your SD Card will now be formatted as internal storage.
5. Reboot your phone.

- "Storage" is actually "Storage & USB"
- When I select the SD card and then hit the three dot menu in the upper-right corner, I get two menu options: "Grid View" and "Settings". When I select "Settings", I get two options: "Eject" and "Format". When I select "Format", I am not given any options at all. There is no "Format as Internal" option.

Well, then you are screwed, I don't know why is debugging grayed out, manufacturer done that probably.
Without adb you can't set up adoptable on k10 because lg didn't implement option in setting. Maybe you'll be able to adopt if you root, but that is not possible at the moment as far as I know.

OK, it turns out that if you have your device plugged into the usb, your USB Debugging option is greyed out. Now I have USB Debugging active.
I successfully have Adoptable Storage working on my my phone. Now I can move my apps to the SD card. In fact, apps are automatically installing there. I cannot access the sd card directly anymore. I go to the File Manager and it does not even list the sd card at all. When I plug my phone into my computer, the SD card does not show up anymore. This leads me to two questions:
1. How do I access the card to move pictures and music to it?
2. Is there a way to have the adoptable storage only take up part of the SD card and the other part, public storage?

I have adopted whole adopted whole sd card and then in file manager if you migrated data on adopted card you'll se only one partition depending on which storage data is migrated
1. If you want to use adopted memory as primary then go to settings>storage and open adopted card then tap on 3 dot menu and migrate data. In that case when you plug pgone to pc via usb it will show you the only adopted sd it won't show internal memory.
2. Yes it is. On article I send you there is explained how to do that.

http://www.modaco.com/news/android/...e-adoptable-storage-on-your-s7-s7-edge-r1632/
Thank you. That worked perfectly.
Very new to this, so a bit of details would be helpful.
I found the fix playing with it around myself. This is for Samsung 7.0 firmware (India) on my A5 2017.
It involves formatting the external SD card obviously. It is not made obvious & hidden deep inside the OS, so follow below instructions.
Solution:
1. Settings > Device Manager > Storage > select the three dotted menu that says 'Storage Settings' > Select SD card > Format.
2. This does not say 'Format as Internal', but
3. After Formatting, it will recognise the external as a new SD and ask again to 'Format as Internal'. Choose that and then
4. Move data to SD after formatting or it will not recognise it as a internal. 'Move data' is kind mandatory.
Hope this fixes it for some of you.
Pros:
1. Able to use the external SD as internal, all apps are by default stored in External (e.g Whatsapp)
2. Able to Connect to PC for data transfer.
Minor Cons:
1. Default File Manager shows incorrect Space available (shows a lot more is occupied than it really is). ES File explorer gives the correct picture.
2. Unable to access Settings > Apps > Select Any App > Storage (Force Stops Settings)
Humm. This is interesting. I wonder if it will work for the S7. Let me give it a try. TY!

I can't move app to my SD, only External storage format. Someone have the same trouble?
I mailed Nokia customer support about this issue and eventually got the following reply:
Greetings from Nokia Mobile Care ! We are sorry for the inconvenience that you are facing!
Please kindly keep in mind that the Nokia 6.1 device, as well as all other Android 1 devices, do not have the option for Internal storage formatting of an SD card. Additionally, there is no option for forced formatting of an SD card as such.
We hope this information managed to answer your inquiry. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us again!
Still waiting for an explanation as why the User Manual says that Apps can be moved to the SD card.
I believe in the reviews I read that Nokia chose not to implement "adoptable storage" in the 6.1
This is a trend in some new phones which is not welcome.

That option only force apps that normally can't be installed on SD card to be able to move, but we are not even able to move apps which can be moved.
Sent from my Lenovo TB-8704F using XDA Labs
From the AOSP site: "Caution: On devices running Android 7.0-8.1, file-based encryption can't be used together with adoptable storage. On devices using FBE, new storage media (such as an SD card) must be used as traditional storage. Devices running Android 9 and higher can use adoptable storage and FBE." Fingers crossed that when 9 rolls out for the Nokia phones in the Android One program, that adoptable stroage becomes an option. (again, the ability to use both fbe and adoptable stroage only affects phones in the Android One program, why? I don't know)
Adoptable Storage now available, but corrupts files!

The Pie update is finally here (Build 00WW_3_260_SP01) and it is now possible to format an SD Card as "Phone Storage" (aka "Adoptable Storage") but doing so WILL CORRUPT YOUR FILES!
Here is how to do it:
Format the SD Card using something the device won't recognize (NTFS, EXT4, etc.)
Turn off phone
Insert SD Card
Turn on phone
Tap the notification about Unsupported SD Card which brings up the storage options with a Format this SD Card? dialog popped-up on top of it
Tap CANCEL on the Format this SD Card? dialog to see additional options
Tap Phone storage in the Use for extra phone storage part of the screen
You will see another Format this SD Card? dialog that looks identical to the previous one
This time, tap FORMAT SD CARD
You may get a warning about the SD Card being too slow. Ignore that and proceed.
After the format completes, you may think you have working adopted storage, but you don't. Files written to /sdcard (which now points to the removable SD Card) will randomly be corrupted. One way to see the corruption is to tap the Move content button after the format above completes. If you had a lot of data on your internal SD Card (such as hundreds of pictures), much of it will now be corrupted. You were warned.
Another way to see the corruption is to use the adb utility to push files to /sdcard on the device. When you pull the files back, many will be corrupted. It's quick and easy to see the corruption using images (I push about 570 of them) and then launch Google Photos.
Which is worse, not supporting adoptable storage or supporting it and corrupting our files?
