Need help with MTP mode and SD card legacy files - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

1) How do I enable MTP mode? I think I accidentally turned it off.
2) I'm using the SD card from my old phone and now I see several SD card folders. There's sd card emulated and an sd card emulated legacy. There's also ext sd 1. Which one of these can I safely delete or merge together?

[Q] managing external sd card

I have this peculiar problem, sometimes my sd card wont auto-mount.
Thats not really a issue since its easily fixed, but the thing is that when the sd card is not mounted, another folder is used in its place.
so when i try to access the sd card i go to /mnt/sdcard/_externalsd/
Sometimes i get the correct sd card contents, but sometimes i get another folder, containing stuff and photos that ive been placing there when the sd card was not present.
This eats my internal memory and i cannot find this non-mount-folder when the sd card is mounted.
So i wonder, is it possible to disable read/write to this default non-mount folder so it appears as if the sd card isnt present (when it isnt) instead of as it is now, faking a virtual sd card?
Just unmount your sd card then copy the files from externel/ to some backup folder on your internal sd . To get the mounting issue fixed you could mount your sdcard on a pc and format it with the standart system tool , just rightclick the sdcard once its mounted and select format, dont do quick format dunno if thats also gonna work
No auto amount is also due sometimes to a recovery reboot from Rom Manager directly
Happened to me
Entering in recovery with on/off and vol down solve it

USB and SD card problem

Previously I used link2sd to create a partition on my SD card to get more space on my internal, and after a while I realised my USB storage is being recognised as an SD card. I tried a full wipe and reinstalled my rom but now even the internal storage is messed up
It's too complicated to explain in words so here are the screenshots. So how f**ked am I and how do I salvage this? I'm on SlimKat rom+kernel using TWRP recovery.
1. USB became Internal with SD card options
2. SD card detected and functioning,
3. USB storage options all greyed out
4. Detectable on computer
5. Apps all installed somewhere else besides the designated storage

Apps on internal storage disappear when i insert my external sd card, Xperia V

After installing CM12 on my Xperia V, I've moved some apps to my internal sd card (sdcard0), they work well and everything is fine.
Now when i insert external sd card to my phone , all apps moved to sdcard0 are disappeared, when i remove my external sd card and turn on my phone again the apps back again. I want to use my external sd card, can you help me?
Note: when i connect my ext sd card to computer i find android_secure folder.
Did it happen on any ROM u are using? Try to format sd card via pc and put it into ur phone and reinstall the apps with external card inserted in phone.

This is my first ROM.
I've tried formatting the sd card and the problem still not solved. The apps were installed on the external card before " by using Link2SD" but i want them on the internal storage
Note: When i try to move an app to sd card using normal app manager when the ext sd card inserted, they move to the ext card not sdcard0. so that's why i move them when ext card not inserted, they moved well but when i insert my sd card back they disappear.

Apps to SD Card

Has anyone figured how to move apps to SD card? My internal storage is getting maxed out
You should be able to go to Storage and USB in Settings and format sd card as internal

There were many important files in my sd card but now i cant access to my lenovo phone and i need that data from that SD Card To Pc via a card reader but there's that type of encryption in my sd card is preventing me to do this as it is formated as internal storage

No way. Internal storage format was made to be usable only with the phone. That's why it is "INTERNAL" format.
Phone is necessary.
Also, another recommendation. Do NOT turn on your phone with internal formatted SD card out of device.
