Internal SD card is default?

So, it seems that apps see the the internal SD card as it's default storage... So when I moved my SD card from my old phone to the LG Revolution, app can't find their data because they are looking for it in the internal SD card instead of the one I inserted into the phone.
Is there any solution for this?

Do you have root? If so you can use root explorer to move them from external to internal

Yeah, I was able to root.
Well see, my external SD card is 32GB and that's where I want all my podcasts and photos to go but apps want to put everything on the internal SD.

I'm not sure I'm getting what you want to do with root explorer you should be able to move whatever you want between the two

I don't want to have to move stuff over. I have all my podcasts on my external SD card but my podcast player doesn't see them because the podcast player is looking for them in the internal SD card.
I was hoping there was a way to make the external SD card the default storage for the phone.
I am not sure what the point of using an external SD card if apps aren't programmed to use it.

[Q] Choose or Swap storage on Internal / External sd card

Is there a way to swap internal ans external sd card on the GN? I use extensively the storage, and I prefer my apps store their files on a random sd card.
So, I'm also searching an app that can tell other apps to store their stuffs on ext. sdcard. Many apps don t allow user make the choice.
Thanks!

Perhaps this app will do the trick for you:

Thanks, but it just moves apps in internal sdcard.

[Q] How to SD card?

Hello I am new to this site and new to android in general. First, some info on my phone.
_ Unlocked bootloader
-Rooted
-ICS 4.0.3
-32gb SanDisk Micro SDHC card with 2 primary partitions
I am having trouble moving anything to my SD card via the phone. When I go to the app menu and try to move an app I only get the option to "Move to Phone Storage." I have searched on google and everyone just makes mention to use a program like link2sd. I've tried using that, and even after creating symbiotic link the apps still only move to phone storage. The program says they are on SD card, but my SD card data usage says otherwise.
My phone does acknowledge the presence of an SD card in the Settings > Storage menu. I am unable to view the contents of the SD card on any of the file explorers either, when I click the SD card all I see are the contents of phone storage. I am able to view and open contents of the SD card by using root explorer under the sdcard2 directory. If I transfer music and photos to the SD card from my PC I can access them with the appropriate widgets on my phone.
So to simplify my post: Is there any way to move an app to the SD card with this device / ICS? The actual external SD card, not the internal phone storage.
Thank you.

I'm not 100% but... In wcx recovery... I think there is an option to switch internal/external storage...
Maybe someone has tried it?

I actually moved an app to ext.sd using root explorer it basically just copied it.the app I moved was app monster when I used the app it showed internal .when I selected scan sdcard it brought up everything from internal and external .

Titanium Backup does this really well. You can do a batch operation to move all user apps to external SD.

Doesn't Astro File Manager do basically the same thing?

[Q] Any way to make ext sd card the default one and not the internal sd card?

Hi,
I would like to know if there is any way to make ext sd card the default one and not the internal sd card? Cause right now, I can't restore certain backups from previous phones as the various apps wont detect. It can only search the internal storage, and is unable to search the storage in the external sd card.
Any app or setting that can do this?
Thank you!

An app like ROM Toolbox should let you browse to the ext sd card to choose a backup. Am I understanding your question correctly?

Hmm, not really actually. An example would be Whatsapp. It backs up to my sd card in my old phone. However, after switching to Droid 4, I can't restore the messages because now it backs up to the internal sd card and not the ext-sd card.

I have a Galaxy S 1 with Android 2.3.3. and my external SD contains a .asec folder that has apps that I have moved from the phone storage to the sd card.
I also have a Cube U30GT tablet with Android 4.1 and when I move apps, it only moves them to the internal SD card.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think that ICS and JB do not natively allow apps on external SD. Is this not the case? Is it a matter of the Android implemention the manufacturer chooses?
ps I will be getting my 4X today, so some thorough testing will take place in the next few days. I will be more than happy to find that apps can go to external SD.
