I recently bought hot 2 and I noticed that it uses external SD card as primary storage, how to set it back to use internal storage?
There is no option in settings!
Idk. It says on mine primary and external storage are the same. Can someone please provide a short post on this? Can link2sd, e.g., be used without root?

1. Describe your problem in details, please.
2. Nope
Here are screen shots to elaborate what I'm talking about.
The phone uses SD card as default writing storage by its own and I do not have option to select the default storage!

I think that is one of the little faults the phone has. With this November update, some apps cannot work without SD Card
is there any working solution to this problem?

You will have to buy and use external SD card until they push system update to fix it.

Me too, I had the external SD card as default storage. And as I am replying this message, my internal storage is default. I don't know how. But what I do know is I got a fake SD Card and inserted in my phone. After I booted, internal became default storage and everything is working well, without an External SD card.

An SD Card that isn't original. Maybe a 16GB SD Card that shows total storage as 15.3GB instead of 14.6GB

where to buy this fake sd card?
Mine also show sd card as primary. All Apps are still installed on internal though.
The latest update yesterday also still didn't solved this issue

Format the phone then restart with SD inside.

The real storage depends with manufacturer.

A fake SD would show a movie is 100gb but your SD is 16gb. Or a song is 3gb. Or a word document showing 5gb on a 1gb SD card.
If you play music it cuts.

I recently received an error message stating that there is an error to install the app in the default location.
Apparently the "Device memory" is used up - available 224 MB.
When I try to "move app to sd" card, it showed I dont have a SD card. Is it possible to move app to the "USB storage"?

You must have an SD card. Maybe search the Play Store for an "Apps to SD" app and see if that helps. I have all my larger apps moved onto SD.
I hope this helps. Please hit THANKS if it did.

Thanks for your reply. However, what I wanted was moving app to usb storage(the internal storage rather than a sd card), is it possible?

Hi, I think USB (micro SD?) storage is external storage? I dont think this can be done on the Note, unless you locate the Apps using a File Manager and manually move them. Personally I think this could be problematic and could make apps load slowly. Personal opinion.

Remember, if you are using a micro SD then, technically, you have 2 "SD Cards", one internal one external. Moving apps to SD does not move them onto the micro SD card (external storage) it moves them into the internal SD (separate partition) thus freeing up the internal memory.
I hope this makes sense.
Hi, I have 1GB of photos stored on the external SD Card. However, I do not see it being listed under the SD CARD area. It just shows Total space and Available.
Has anyone seen this before?

Try rebooting your phone, that normally triggers a re-scan of the sd. If that doesn't work check that there is not a .nomedia file in the directory, if there is delete it them reboot your phone.

I checked every single folder that I have within the SD card and there is no file called .nomedia even after enabling the option to view any hidden files on Windows. Any more ideas?

Just tried it, it doesn't work
What SD Card brand are you using? Does it show details of what sort of files are within the SD Card inside the Storage window?

It doesn't show on mine either. I guess they only show file details on the internal storage, not external.

Try unmounting the SD then removing it, reboot the phone with no sd. Now power down the phone, put the sd card back in, power back up and see if it shows.
Another option try adding only one photo to the external sd with PC companion and verify that it shows.

I am using a Sandisk Ultra, no it doesn't show for the external sd
I'm using lenovo A7000 and recently updated marshmallow and chosen 32GB SD card as internal memory. It was worked as internal memory perfectly quite some time, all of sudden I got message that SD corrupted and doesn't show data stored in the card, it shows zero files, I lost all media files!! However USB storage option in settings SD card shows 6.5GB used out of 28GB. Since it's treated as internal memory I'm not able to read the card as drive in other devices/computer. I have important media files and documents in SD card and I didn't backup them. I'm bit worried!!! How to recover the data from SD card. I assume if SD card changed back to portable, it will format and lose data!!! Please support
Hey , are you using stock original rom of lenovo a7000?

Phone is not recognizing SD card, shows it's corrupted. Phone doesn't have enough space!! Btw, how to migrate data from encrypted SD card to internal memory?
Follow your way through this article: https://nelenkov.blogspot.ro/2015/06/decrypting-android-m-adopted-storage.html
You should be able to read the SD card on a Linux PC.
Same problem
i also encounter this problem now with the same unit of phone and still i'm looking for the solution on how to fix the concern. can anyone help me how to fix the problem.
Hello everyone,
I got my phone yesterday. When I inserted the SD card in the phone, it showed me that the SD card is not supported & it asked me to format the card as an internal storage. It's a Samsung Evo Plus 64 GB MicroSDXC Class 10 memory card. Is this a problem with the phone or the memory card ? The memory card was working perfectly fine until yesterday evening in my Moto G5 Plus.
I'm on the lest version of software i.e. Android 8.1 with April 2018 security patch.
Please advise...
sorry, but can you provide a screenshot of the storage settings page? might be helpful for my own case, thanks!

I did not take a screenshot and now temporarily I am using a different memory card
What was the file system format? exfat,ntfs, fat32
I had the same ask for format the sd card!
I use an Samsung Evo plus 128 Go, in ExFat file format on my previous phone (zenfone 3 ze552kl), and when i install it on my Nokia 7 plus i just have to format in fat32, now it works well!
I just save all my data on my computer before format

I also did the same. But the memory card did not take data more than 30 GB in it. I had my previous data of 37 GB, but out of that only 30 GB got copied back in the card. Also now when I try to format the SD card, it shows the device is write protected.
Have you try to format it with a computer?
Maybe your card is counterfeit sd card, (one of my friend buy a samsug 32 go, but he received a 2 go sd card..), you can check your card capacity on computer with H2testw, it's freeware you can easily download. I only find french links, so you can google it
Software is in english and german.

Yes, I tried it using a PC only. The memory is a genuine Samsung memory card. Been using it for a year in my previous Moto phone.

No problem with your sd card. Nokia phones does not support exFat

Just installed Android P on my handset and my exFAT sd card works well.

Hey if you didn't figure it out yet it's simple you need to format the sd and an option will show to choose for external or internal storage you can also find an app to partition some of the sd for rom expand but it kills the sd fast.
I would really like to do this also... I can move some apps to sd not all the ones I want to.. I have rooted and tried different apps to do this. I do not get the option to use some of sd as internal after formatting. 32gb model with 64gb sd

Newer tablets no longer allow this because it is a very bad idea. Internal storage is MANY times faster than the SD cards and allowing apps to run from the SD card would make the device very "laggy".
