sd card issue

How come when i use astro it shows the files on board memory? If i use root explorer i have to go to sdcard ext to see the files. Is there anyway to change the default?

If its like the Droid 3, internal memory is mounted as /sdcard while the actual microsd card is mounted as /sdcard-ext.

The D3 was the same (I've got one of those) only it didn't come with a 16GB external micro SD. So it's got that going for it.

Same thing on the X2 :/

How to install games in sd card?

Hey guyz,
I downloaded Asphalt 7 game,
I got the apk file and the sdcard data file,
Wen i tried the data in internal memory it was showing not enough memory even wen the space is available.
I installed the apk but i think its searchin for it in internal memory and not in the sd card.
How can i make it search in the sd card?
How to move the games to sd card?
or how can i simply install that game?

You will be unable to....
Not a Moto thing but more of a Google decision.

This is a major drawback on Atrix HD over my previous Moto. They combine storage for apps and internal storage for media. I have 8GB storage available for media on my Bionic and 4GB free space for apps. Almost nothing we can do at the moment. Hopefully rooting can save us. So we can change vold.fstab to use sdcard as primary storage.

So rooting will help right?
Can we root HD?
Y the dev support is so low?

It's not, it's just a hard phone to crack, go check out the dev section and you'll see several people have been trying for a while now to root it

Not possible at the moment. Maybe we can ask Hashcode to help us.

Use Q&A forum
And BTW, there is no issue with SD Card and 4.4. Read up on it and you'll understand how it works.

any one can help to work, it is not working. for exemple whennusing astro ican't copy or move file from internal to sd card, and i use aqua camera pro it can't save in sd , and other camera app

Maybe out of topic, then Sorry, but who have 4.4 can move the Apps to SD?

for me ES is not working on 4.4 but file commander that come with stock is working!!

Stock file managers are the only ones that work on kit kat for external sd cards, This applies to any phone running kit kat, only system apps have full acess to the SD card
so in our case file commander is the only file manager that works with the external sd card
System apps are also the only ones that can copy/move/create/delete or download stuff on the external sd card, unless they have their own private folder AND if you delete the app then all files in said private folder go out with it too

im using total commander and i have full access to my sd-card.
that said:
i love total commander because of it's two pane view mode and those useful plugins. i've used it since windows 95 on my PC, so i was happy to see, that there is an android version of it.
i don't know why it's never mentioned on xda. are there any downsides to it? ive never had any problems with it. it makes moving/copying files so much easier
edit:
here's the link, have a look if you like

Maybe I'm not the only one to come up with this solution but I use es file explorer and adownloader and I could not get them to write to the SD card so I downloaded link2sd and converted both apps to system apps which then fixed both apps write issues. It has worked for me has anyone else tried it?!?

OTG support?

Does this device support USB OTG out of the box? Or is there any hack that'll enable it? I know the Moto G 2014 does, so it'd be rather odd if the X didn't.
Sent from my XT1092 using XDA Free mobile app

Yes, its enabled out of the box. Use a file explorer to access it, unmount by going to settings->storage

Yep, just got my Moto x today, tested otg with a 64GB micro sd on the otg end and it works like a charm with very fast access.

Check formatting on your card? I had a 64 GB formatted exFAT which did not work, but works fine formatted with FAT32.

What about USB OTG support on Lollipop 5.0? Is it works or not?

my sandisk 64gb dual drive isn't mounting...

I too am having issues with otg support on my Verizon Moto X 2014 XT1096 running Lollipop 5.0 with an Adata UD320. Works fine on my first gen Moto x but in the 2014 it wont stay mounted. Wonder if it's a Lollipop issue? Anyone else having trouble?
Uninstalling Root Explorer solves this problem ans the flash drive works as normal.

Do you have write access? I can read from USB but not write

I just bought an otg cable from Amazon and it has worked flawlessly on my Moto X 2014 running stock lollipop. I have tested it with a wireless mouse, wired mouse, Logitech keyboard and a thumb drive. I successfully copied files from thumbdrive to phone via ES explorer.

I just tested this, and yes, I successfully copied to the phone via otg cable. Let me know if you have anything else I could test.

Two thoughts. First, you have the sandisk driver/file explorer loaded right? Also, I think I saw someplace Moto X may have an issue with ExFAT, and you may have to go Fat32.

i agree on fat32, don't think stock android supports exfat due to licensing issues. i'm using a 32gb card in a meenova (2nd gen)

can anyone else confirm write access to USB drive from the phone to the usb drive

I'm guessing otg only works with a cable and not sandisk dual USB types? I have a sandisk dual usb 64gb formatted fat32, and I can't write from phone to usb

Can't write on sd card

Hi,
I've purchased a sd card but I can't write on the sd card with ES Explorer. It says me:
Your system forbids ES from writing on external SD card (check https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail....)
Any help please?
Many thanks and sorry for my English!

Hi.
It's a kitkat restriction, you can't use ESExplorer without root

So... there is a workaround without root?

There is no workaround for ES Explorer without root.

And is possible with other file explorer?
Thanks

Only the one that's preinstalled.

You can manage your SD card from PC, it's the easiest way

Yes. I'm trying to configure torrent client to download directly in sd card but it's impossible

That sounds like a problem of an older App which has no support for Android 4.4 (yet). Else it could very well create it's own directory on the SDcard and just work.
