[Q] [q] external sd

guys, i just bought this phone n a 32 GB mmc
but i just found out we cant install to external SD
i try using adb shell set-install-location 2
but then i cant install anything it said "not enogh memory" so i had to return it back to 0
later i found out using shiaomi that this phone thinks its internal SD is both internal n external
cant we do anything about it?
btw my phone's bootloader is locked and it said it cannot be unlocked, does that mean i will not be able to root this phone for all eternity?

Please post your questions in the Q&A thread in future...
Thread moved.

They are working on a way to root for locked bootloader. You can send pics movies music etc to SD card. but not apps or data......I only found this out after buying the phone.
If they find way to root for locked bootloader then you might be able to use link 2sd and create partition, which you can then send the apps to the the SD card and create links so it looks like they are on internal memory

In the phone settings, there is a handy menu that says "Transfer data to SD card". It automatically cleans your media files from internal memory and moves them to external SD card. At least this should free some space for your apps.

Root is now available look in dev section for doomlords root tool

Don't know about the mod with the link above mate.
Try with doomlord's method. Don't think you could get problems. Otherwise post on root's thread and ask if it's possible

The combination of two programs (link2sd & foldermount) that u have mentioned are worked but i have 2 problems
1.link2sd does'nt move all apps and some of them take error
2.foldermount just pair apps and increase internal storage from ( setting/storage) and this section is good but my problem is this :
in the root explorer i check my free memory and see the data folder in both of source. like this : sdcard0/android/data/com.rockstar.gta3 & sdcard1/android/data/com.rockstar.gta3
this means in 2 storage (int & ext) contains data folders!
what can i do?

To use link2sd you need to make partition on ext card and set it to primary i used free easeus partition tool to make partition you won't lose data. You need to use pc and sd card connected to pc without phone.
I have 32gig card and made a 4gig partition.then you can send apps to ext card by creating a link
Foldermount you need to create a folder on ext card eg game data then create separate folder for each game/app you want to move.
open foldermount app then give the app you are moving a name,select folder you are copying then select where you want to move data to ie the folder you created on ext SD card then select go
When files have been m moved you need to press the pin and make sure it goes green.
this app will pair the folder and files and trick phone into seeing file on internal memory but are really in SD card, it may seem that it has copied it twice, it has not.
I have asphalt 7, real racing 3 NFS most wanted,NFS shift plus others that all have extra data between 200mb-600mb installed when these are on internal I only had 1-1.5 gig spare and constantly being told to move data as system apps where not running.
By using these apps I have over 4.5gig spare.
think of these apps like making shortcuts on pc desktop that's all they do is move data by creating link to internal and ext card.
If you are having issues with apps they both have xda threads where the devs are active in answering questions
I can't give any more info sorry these worked for me and found them very easy to use and set up that why I mentioned them if they are not working maybe try the swap internal/external trick which is posted in Sp thread

Apps to SD card without root?

Is it possible?
Really struggling with space on my Z1 right now.

No, this has been mentioned a few times. You need to have root to be able to install apps on SD. Once you root you can use Folder Mount or GL to SD

And even if sony would add the feature like samsung and some others did
For example on the sgs4 you can put apps on sd but it will only add the .apk to your sd (i gues you have some heavy games that use your space)
The .obb files still will be on internal sd
So i guess the only way is using foldermoun(or something like that) but that will need root
But keep in mind if you root your phone and don't unlock the bl and you have some problems with the phone and flash stock rom trough xperiatool you will have guarantee

Use any data recovery tool for windows and then recover files from the SD card using it..

Send form my Xperia™ Z (C6602) using tapatalk?

if the photo was on the internal storage
then i am sorry bro, it cannot be recovered
same thing happen to me at the start of the year
lost some very valuable memory...
tried everything my self, all the data recovery software avaliable
i even send the phone to 3 different specialist data recovery place
none of them was able to even extra an image file of the phone to work with...
(because Sony use a different file system ect then other android device, which, atm, has no interface for)
ever since then i got into the habit of backing up photos everyday onto a sky drive of some sort
so yah...
i am sorry
PS: data recovery place in your country might have better resource / system then mine (australia)
so if you want, give them a try...
i really hope you are more lucky then me bro

if it's external sd card, CardRecovery is best software. but it is paid software

Hi!
NO PC WAY!!
NEED ROOTED Z!!
DISKDIGGER FROM PLAY STORE!!!
SELECT THE PLACE AND FILES TYPE AND BOO!!! They back!

See http://www.xda-developers.com/sony-announces-android-5-1-update-for-the-xperia-line/
Hopefully it sorts out the battery problem.

Yay! I have just got the 5.0.2 notification today. Waiting to research rooting methods for locked bootloader before proceeding.

This is what I got from PC Companion today:
We’re excited to bring you Sony’s latest software experience, including Android 5.0 – Lollipop: http://www.sonymobile.com/lollipop : You'll need approximately 1.2 GB of free internal memory to upgrade and it may take around 20 minutes, but we promise it’s worth the wait. We’ve included:
- Sony’s latest software experience, with Android 5.0 - Lollipop
- A fresh look and feel, based on Google Material Design
- Intelligent lock screen notifications and customisable settings
- Multi-user profiles and guest mode
- Storage optimisation; move apps to SD card <-- IS THIS TRUE?!?

Go ahead and update your xperia. . Yes can move application to SD. But cannot save any document to SD card. on kit kat able to save any document to SD.

Oh my that is so good to hear. You have managed to root 5.0.2 using King Root?
Application on PC or using .apk?

Hi,
Thanks for verifying. What do you mean we're unable to save any document to the SD card? I can't choose the external SD card to save my album pictures to? Or I can't move music files using a file explorer? Please clarify, thanks.

Yeah, so you cannot save the docs from within the app, but you can transfer the doc files via file manager.
ES File Explorer allows transferring files from internal storage to SD card.

5.1 postponed till September

Hi All ,
One of my friends has a note 5 and he deleted some photos by mistake so He asked me to restore the photos for him but here is the problem :
All data recovery programmes require root but If I rooted his phone, his warranty would be void and can't receive samsung's updates anymore so I just want a way to root and unroot without losing his warranty and still able to receive samung's updates and not format his phone his root to restore files and then unroot and back to normal life again ! Also If there is an alternative way to restore the files without root , please , tell me !

There are apps in the Playstore to restore deleted pics. No root necessary.

Disk Digger is one I have used in the past, and has been reliable. But if you go to the Playstore and search "restore deleted photos", you'll find many more.

Don't know what to say then. I'm not rooted, and Disk Digger has always performed it's job for me, though they pics I wanted was recently deleted.
Maybe someone else has a better idea. I can only give you my experience.

Late reply
Recuva(win/mac) can do that.
your memory must be formatted as FAT32, NTFS or similar. If your memory card format is not recognized, you can just copy of its contents to your computer, reformat the memory card as FAT32 and then dump thecopied files back on it and continue the process.
Open recuva
choose the file type u deleted
copy it on another sd card(never copy deleted items on the same card).
Sorry,its too late i guess.
