Where are browser downloads stored? Like to clear up some space. Not on the sd card.
Thanks
Either use astro file manager and navigate to "downloads" or while in browser press "menu" then "more" then "downloads"
Mine goto the sdcard under /downloads
mine go to the memory card as well, in a folder called downloads.
Thanks friends, had something strange happen. Thought something might be odd, so downloaded a jpeg as a test. Right after the download the "downloads" folder showed up on the sd card! Problem solved.
Appreciate the help

I used auto-nooter 3.0.0 to root my NookColor, now the browser is no longer restricted to file downloads. Now when I try to download a 16mb file from the web browser it says I don't have enough room. That's fine, but there's no menu in the browser for me to change the destination folder where these downloaded files are to be stored. Is there some settings file I can hack to redirect from the standard /media/My Files/Downloads to some other location on my SD card?
I know there are other free browsers on Android Market that I can download and use but I rather not have to go through that route.
I don't mind hacking some files to make this change. Is there any ideas?
I would also like to know if this is possible. I would like my downloads to go to the SD card instead of the internal memory. Is there a setting somewhere that I am not seeing to do this?
I've noticed that these hd games tend to have low sizes but once you start them they download like huge size data. And after you delete the game that huge size of data is still there. How do delete it?
You have to have a File Manager App installed to do this. Browse your SD card until you find the download directory and manually delete the folder.

or you could plug the phone into the PC and browse to the SDcard like that.
That would of course work as well, you're right
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.

mine saved on phone internal too....and i'am afraid there's no setting from within whatsapp to store in external sd card....however you can reduce space by using directory bind....search around and you will find it.....directory bind or link2sd should do it....

ok, thanks for double-checking, I was afraid so. I don't want to link the whole app to sd card, but directory bind sounds like a very good idea, I haven't thought of that.

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?
in my S4
whenever i open this app , notifications comes saying :
checking for root ......
exit
and nothing happens !

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!

it seems you have root permission problem. you may try to fix permission via custom recovery. GL to SD is working fine and i'm able to download additional data on ext SD.

Ah, that might have been it.
In the mean time I gave up, removed it and went with foldermount, linked above. Works just fine out the door, cleaner UI too.
Move WhatsApp Media To External SD Card
This App automatically redirects WhatsApp media to the External SD Card in order to save memory: I cannot post the link, but you can search Nicola Rosada On Play Store and download Photo & File Redirect.

I got foldermount and used it to mount data/obb folders from some apps to my ext SD card. But this is what i get for whatsapp: The data and obb options are greyed out so i cant select them and it says there is no data to begin with (0 B). How did you do it? Thanks
Thanks for saving me to ask this question. My son has a SG Grand Prime SM-G530H and is facing the same problem.

Got the same Issue - can send Images and theyll get stored on SD via Foldermount, but when i receive images, just got the blurry thumbnail and after i downloaded the image i got that "Media is not found on the SD card" issue.
Anyone knows what i did wrong?
So how can I delete things that I have downloaded onto my internal storage if they do not show up in Downloads?
For example, I have an older version of Beans' ROM and gapps on there that is taking up space. So I go into Storage, and Downloads shows 1.34gb. However, when I tap on Downloads, it doesn't show me anything that has been downloaded. So how do I delete things on internal storage?

Either use PC or root explorer. Stock download app is very limited.

use a file explorer app, like anyone else. go into downloads, pick whatever you want, then press delete.

ES file explorer will also delete the files that apps leave behind as well. You'll get a prompt then you confirm deletion.
Thanks for the help!
Hi everyone,
I recently purchased my LG G4 after finding that root had finally been unveiled! I transferred over my microSD from my Galaxy S4, which was running a v4.4 ROM.
Now, Titanium backup can read the card and restore backups, but it states the external_SD cannot be written to! Specifically, "This folder is not writable." This is using the Filesystem storage provider. I can change the "filesystem" over to Documentprovider, which then makes the SD directory writable, but there is NO protect function available on specific backups. Of course, I believe this to be a Lollipop issue.
There should be a way to have both, right? I've tried changing permissions on directories but have not gotten Titanium to recognize the folder, through the standard filesystem, to be writable.
I'm having the same issue that you are. I haven't had time to try these suggestions yet but go to the link below, on the second page they start talking about a script that someone made that will run every time your phone boots that gives proper permissions. Another person said that they had luck with Xposed Module. Unfortunately I won't have time to try any fixes until the weekend:

I used the SDFIX application by Nextapp and it seems to have worked.
Here's how I granted Titanium Backup permissions to access my sd card.
1) click on menu button
2) click on Preferences...
3) click on Backup folder location
4) click on "Storage provider: External Storage (click to change)"
5) click on DocumentProvider storage
At this point, you may have a menu saying Open from. If so, click on SD card. If you don't see anything, hide the Open from menu (swipe left), click on the menu button at the top right and click on show SD card. At this point, click on SD card and navigate to the folder you want to grant Titanium Backup permission to write to. The select button is at the bottom of the screen. Hope this helps.

You are correct! Thanks!
I looked at that app, but was wary because it mentioned KitKat but not Lollipop by name.
Anyway, I ran the app, gave it root permission, and it did its magic. I rebooted. Success!
Now, in Titanium Backup, it will detect the external_sd card as writable now. However, you HAVE to use the "Filesystem" storage provider in order to get the 'protect' function open. The "filesystem storage - Ext SD card" will work (whereas before it would not write to the directory) but you still don't have "protect" functionality.

This gets it permission to access + write, but I did not see a 'protect' option on my backups when I selected them.
Nextapp worked for me.

I did this guide some time back to fix the media write permissions when kitkat came out for the first time on CM11 and submitted the fix to cyanogen. This still works with just a line editting. Is you guys like me that prefer to fix the problem editing a file instead of isntalling an app to get it done then this will be the thread to go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524277

Thanks for the link. I haven't run stock ROMS in quite a long time, so having limited SD access was a new phenomenon for me despite having been on KitKat for a few years.
"FolderMount" from the play store also fixes this.
thanks
