Hi,
I have a problem Xperia Z1 with accessing certain applications on the memory card-some me reports that it is not writable (for example, Titanium Backup), in Total Commander I can't create a new folder, and so on, but on the other hand, need the camera stores the photos on the card without any problems. Is there any solution to memory card available for all applications?
Just for completeness, I add that it is a card of SanDisk 64 GB microSDXC UHS-I and the phone I have ROM 14.3.0.757. Thank you for your advice.
If this has already been dealt with here, I apologize for starting a new topic, but I failed to find it
Yes, the solution still on XDA from long time ago. Just a bit of search and sure you will read about it.

to see what the issue is, but the thread above will clear up your issue

Well, we are not here to hinder but to help
The user was not aware of the real problem so searching would not have been much help.
Notice I also told them where to find more information about the problem....

Of curse, I can't argue with that. You are more prepare logically to any event but if I have to remember any single thread on XDA I think I go crazy....

Hello I just start using the new Motorola Razr i, since 2007 I'm using iPhone, as many of you I'm mobile developer, so iOS 6 for me in this very moment is not very interesting, so I decided to change to Android and to motorola Razr i because I think is a good terminal with good materials.
Well what is my surprise when after 2 weeks I discover that Motorola Change the Path name of the internal storage to "sdcard" and the SD card to "external1" it would't be a problem but the 99% of the apps are programmed to download the data in "mnt/sdcard" so my internal memory is full, and the sdcard almost empty.
well I don't want to change it, I'm very happy with the moto, but this is terrible, 2 weeks no memory WTF??? I try everything links to the sdcard(internal memory) using bussyBox, doing it with terminal, try to rename directories everything, and well maybe we can make it works, but again WTF??? I change to android but this kind of things are a bit disappointed as a developer and as a user.
I ask you guys what do you think about this? is normal? some people say that is a "feature" well would be if the phone would be able to store the files in external1(real sd card) but Moto how you can think that the developers are gonna adapt the apps to be use with the partition logic that you implemented ?
anyway if this continue like this, I would give up with motorola, only because I need space in my phone only because of that.
thanks for your reply solutions or comments.

SO?
So... mattlgroff are you happy with this? a mean you love this device, how you are gonna deal with this?

Hi, iv'e got the htc salsa at the moment but the internal memory is really getting on my nerves. I can't have twitter and facebook at once it seems and then I can't use the music app at times either. I've never touched a phone with rooting or anything like that, if someone could give me the simplest way to increase my internal memory I would be extremely grateful.
thanks!

Theres a guy who made a script for just this purpose and he did it on the Galaxy S3, you could ask in there, it literally swapped the SD for the internal SD. Making my S3 a 64GB version usable for apps and the extra 16GB for whatever i wanted, i personally didn't need it.
I've Used Directory Bind... Though not all apps can be transferred, (mostly huge games can be transferred)

I don't think we can install apps on the SD card yet ):
The OS is unix based, you can create symbolic links in the internal memory to point to the External SD card. These links tell the OS to look in the location you specified whenever something requests that folder, pretty much seamless.
There are other tools that have been developed which automate some of this for you, if you are not comfortable typing in a terminal window.
There is already a thread about this, conclusion is that mattiad is not going to be doing an internal2external mod, been using his mod for years and I asked him, told me that without the device in his hands (probably donated as he isn't going to be buying it) it isn't going to be happening, mount points and code are different from the s3 apparently.
I've personally been using folder mount, it's a paid app but allows you to mount the larger games and apps found in android/obb or anywhere from one location to another.
Upped my memory to 5GB from 2GB, I've got about 4 large games and around 100 apps installed so it does work.

Root will happen and there will always be a way around things, the problem Z1 users are facing is a lack of dev's to accomplish these things. Just compare the note 3 forum with this one, huge difference.
The camera bug has obviously played a part in this but it's causing irreparable damage to the Z1 community and has probably put off some dev's we could sorely do with.
Hopefully it'll change withe new releases but as time goes on i'm losing faith to be honest.

Wearing very thin my friend
So I have recently bought a Z3 Compact.
I've had this problem since I bought it. It seems as though there is a memory leak as when I start the phone up for the first time, it works perfectly and I receive notifications as normal, then slowly after time(about a day of uptime), I notice that I stop receiving notifications. Looking at the running app view, it shows that there's only 99MB or RAM left!? There's like nothing running. It shows all services as "restarting". So it seems to me that Android is closing tasks as there is "insufficient ram", even though there really should be. I can't for the life of me figure out what's causing it though.
Is there anything I can use to try and further diagnose the problem? I imagine that finding out which app is taking up all the RAM would be the right place to start?
Thanks for the help!
So I had to restart so I could post these pictures(the tapatalk app would get closed when opening the gallery to add attach the pictures...)

I think you should try flashing an ftf of a different region via flashtool. I had this problem on an Xperia SP that i used to own. The problem was present in the Australian firmware but not in the European ones. It was weird. You don't have to wipe date while flashing.

Hmm... Interesting, I think I did however do that as the OTA wasn't available yet for my phone(think it's UK version) so I flashed US version. It's present on both though... I'm having a look regularly at which processes begin to grow in their usage. Not sure how long it's gonna take for it to be really noticeable though...

Well to be very honest, it should take quite a few processes to even take up 2 gigs of ram. On SP it was a kernel issue. Who knows why this is happening on your end. You're the first one i've seen with this issue on z3c. Sorry i couldn't help man

Thanks Sadman. I'm already on 300 megs left... :< It looks to be like it's got to do with Google's services? Like Google plus is using like 60MB and I haven't opened it once since I got the phone. The other google services are also using up quite a bit by the looks of it, but still seems like it's not showing something :< Wish I had root an this...
This is my usual situation.

Wow, I would say so. Anything special about the device? I'd try disabling or uninstalling apps until you find what's causing it. Possibly a bad external SD card, try removing it?

Hmm.. Nothing special I'd say. It's basically brand new...
I've been disabling a bunch of the stock programs that I can and it still seemed to "leak". I have removed my external sd card. Would that have an immediate effect on it? Or would I have to restart and then start monitoring it again?
Update: so I formatted the external sd(it was a Samsung evo bought from Amazon). I initially just removed it from the packaging and popped it in.
Lesson of the day, always format new storage media before using it.
Thanks for all the help guys! Really appreciate it!
edit: Seems to have improved, but it's still leaking! :|
So I quickly had a look at my z3c in windows, and thought i'd look for "strange" things.
Are the following first two folders normal? They both contain only .nomedia files. Not sure if that's causing some issues with the mediaserver?
This is so #@*&[email protected]# annoying... If we could have root without losing DRM, this would be much easier...
Would the AudioMix wakelock cause my issue?
