General :: Accessing External SDCard From PC (USB)
Jun 1, 2013
I'm running a custom ROM (4.2.2) on an HTC Vivid. When I connect to my PC via usb, Windows only sees the internal storage, not the external sd card, and there's no way to navigate to the System partition to access.
When I was running the stock HTC ICS, Windows would mount the external card as a separate drive. I know the file system hierarchy is different with JB. Is this why it only sees the internal storage now?

I am trying to access my external HDD that is connected to my laptop with ES File Explorer, as it has all my media on it.I can access folders on my laptop's internal HDD, but when I try to access the shared folders in my external I get the following message:
Login Fails
This may be caused by:
WLAN is of
SMB server is out of network
The IP is invalid
Blocked by the firewall
SMB service is off
The external drive is formatted with NTFS file system.

i have xperia ray and i want to swap my external sdcard with the internal memory.. Xperia ray has 300mb of internal memory and it's really low and isn't enough.. i know that there's a hack that switches the external sdcard with the internal memory.. i found a thread [URL] ..... that explains how to do that but i don't have the same line that the thread started has..this is what i have:
Code:
# Mounts the first usable partition of the specified device
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0
[code]....

I finally upgraded to android, i got the cheapest phone possible(kyocera milano) which seems to be a mistake. The phone has only about 300mb internal storage and can barely handle its own updates(because of the limited storage). so i would like to know if its possible to make the phone "think" that some of the sd card is part of its internal memory? I found an adb driver for it(dont ask me where or which one because i had no idea and started messing with one until it worked) i have not tried rooting but can if i need to.

Method to allow myself to install apps and games to my external 32gb external sd card and set this as my default install location as my internal storage is small and i always have problems with available space . I have been told this can be done on adb on computer with running special commands to change default install location. Is this true ? Will I need to root and use an app which is user friendly for this? I have a samsung galaxy s4 mini gt i9105 unrooted.

Currently, ICS on my sgs2 shows my external card as mounted with empty contents (in storage settings). Both /mnt/sdcard and /sdcard point to the internal sdcard storage. Where is my external card mounted? GT-I9100

I am using a mt6582m device with kitkat 4.4.2 with supersu. I can use root to write to system, data and cache using es file explorer, can also read and write to any sd card, but apps like titanium backup, online android backup, ram expander can't read/write to sd card.
Eg.1: ti backup read backups, can do all operation except backup and restore.
I had read a lot, changing backup path didn't worked nor any odex file is there. Using v6.1.5.6.
Eg. 2: ram expander can create swap file on sd but can read it saying 'not found'. Swap can be used with cache partition.
Eg. 3: online nandroid backup says pat not vaild.
I had tried, sd fix app, manually editing platform.xml, xposed module to 'handel external storage', change permissions using es file explorer, editing ramdisk.
There is storage/sdcard0 and 1
Also mnt/sdcard and mnt/sdcard2 (symlinked)
Also mnt/media_rw/sdcard0 and 1 (not readable even in es file explorer)

I'm trying out encryption, and have just encrypted the external SD card for now.My goal is to encrypt both the external and internal cards.
But to my surprise, I've noticed that the external card is accessible (I can read its contents) from recovery (CWM) without having to type any password...

I am trying to access the sdcard on ADP2 from command prompt using adb tool and from window explorer, it says "Access is denied". I have followed the below procedure:
1) Installed the USB driver from Android site. 2) Connected the phone 3) Opened the "USB Connected" option from the notification bar of the phone, clicked "Mount". Also USB Debugging is enabled. 4) I am able to get the device name using "adb devices" command, also I am able to install APK file
But, when I tried to push APK or any text file to the sdcard, it is failing. This is the command I tried: "adb push Hello.apk /sdcard", it gives an error "Permission denied".
Also I tried accessing the sdcard from window explorer, it gives an error "Access is denied".
Also tried formating the sdcard, this sdcard works in the laptop and other non-Android phones, also did phone reset.

Is it possible to access the filesystem of an sdcard image through something like Windows Explorer?
i.e. mount the sdcard as a drive or web folder or something. I have some xml files stored on my sdcard image which I frequently want to edit.
Ideally I would like to be able to edit these files directly using my fave xml editor (either through the filesystem or webdav).But is this possible?
If not, is the only alternative to pull the xml file from the sdcard to the dev machine filesystem, edit and the push it back?

I replaced my original sdcard with a sandisk 16gb card. Everything went well until I started getting these blasted read on errors. Earlymon suggested a fix from another board but I don't have a stand alone card reader so I couldn't do it that way.
I was wondering if I just backed up all my stuff from my sdcard to my iMac and then just reformatted my sdcard via the phone, would that solve my problems?

A reboot of the phone and it now shows up... anyone know how to force this refresh to occur from without my code?

I am currently on a Galaxy Nexus, and the one thing I am missing from my iPhone is the ability to view my notifications when I am say in a game or an app that hides the top bar. Is there a way around this or something I am missing? Is it coming up in jelly bean? (I haven't had time to really look it up but I heard about the better notifications.)

I need some way to access the SD card on my SGS2 GT-9100 from certain applications in windows. E.g., when I try browsing for a destination folder in the phone through these programs, my phone is not recognized at all.
The long story:The problem I am trying to overcome is copying of images from my computer to my phone without changing the creation date (for sorting purposes). When copying from my computer to my device this attribute changes an thus all images have the same date and there is no way of making any sense of which picture was taken when.
So my plan is to get access to the images on my device, after altering there dates, and use a program which will change the creation date from the modification date (which holds the original date taken of the pictures).

My real problem is apps trying to be online like facebook, tango and such.. my subscription plan is limited so I need to stop them and allow only one app per my needs..
I know about the great app called "Droidwall" it's fine and all but it doesn't provide a mutli-profile function thus I need to tick and un-tick the wanted apps every time I connect!!
I need an app that let's me choose apps which I want them connected to my mobile data and SAVE my configures under one name to a separate profile..
Is there any app like that?

I copied my music files from my PC to the phone, but now when I try and play the music in Play Music, its somehow accessing the internet, changing my tags, album art etc which I've spent years perfecting on my own. BTW none of this stuff is in the cloud or purchased from Google, they're all "real" MP3 files.
Is there a way to stop the app from doing this, or are there alternate apps?

I'd like to know how to access my Google Bookmarks via Chrome for my Android. In Chrome (Android), I made sure sync was enabled for my Google account and bookmarks is checked. However, when I open the bookmarks on Chrome (Android), nothing appears. If it's worth anything, these bookmarks were added in Firefox, but again these are Google Bookmarks, not saved locally in Firefox.

I have a dropbox folder with a Microsoft Excel document stored in it. This excel file contains a list of web links on it.
My goal is to use my Galaxy S4 phone to open this file though dropbox and then click on the links and then have the web pages open up in my phone browser.
Currently, my Galaxy S4 phone does have the dropbox app on it. My phone is able to access the excel file in dropbox just fine by using the Polaris Office App. However, when I click on the links within the Excel file, it does not forward me to the web pages.
Is there some way for me to click on the links on this Excel file and then be forwarded to the corresponding web pages? Perhaps there is an App other than Polaris which is capable of doing this?

My workplace currently does not support the Android platform, and thus I cannot access the Microsoft Exchange server/Activesync from my phone.
Have any apps been developed that would possibly disguise my phone as an iPhone, or something similar, so I can receive e-mail via mobile? iOS is currently the only mobile platform they support, so that'd most likely be the easiest work-around.
I know someone who works in the data center, and he showed me the script they run every week to check if anything other than iPhones have accessed the server, which they then have the option to boot/wipe memory as needed.

Basically, I'm unable to make a briefcase folder on my phone's SD card. I can make new folders, but I don't get the range of options that you would normally get when hovering your cursor over the "New" option (when opening the "New" context menu) when accessing my SD card via a usb cable plugged into the phone; I'm actually able to get the context menu when accessing the SD card by sticking it straight into the computer, but when it remains in my phone (and the phone's hooked up to the computer), I don't get the context menu.
Here's what I want:
Obviously, I can just use the SD card by plugging it directly into the computer, but it's inconvenient to take off the case, remove the back, etc. I'd rather just plug a USB cable directly into the phone. Why is my phone preventing me from getting that context menu when doing so though?

i've got a little problem with my new SD-Card.
Actually i'm using an ICS ROM for HTC Desire with reverse mount. With my old SD-Card the whole system got really slow and laggy although i tried several settings in the ROM. So i bought a new one (Sandisk Ultra Mobile Class 6 - 16 GB).
My old card has a FAT32 partition and a little EXT-3 partition for the reverse mount option. I've read that EXT-4 is maybe a bit better and faster and more reliable so i decided to format the new one as followed:
14 GB FAT32 primary partition
1.4 GB EXT-4 primary partition
I've formatted the new SD-Card in my PC with "Mini tools partition wizard". Everything went fine until then.
Then i made a NANDROID backup of my old system onto my old SD-Card and copied alle the files from the old to the new card (FAT32 only). Then i put the new card into the phone and tried to restore the system. It worked but the system acted really strange (i think because of the change from EXT-3 to EXT-4 file system).
So i wiped and cleaned everything and made a new install of the ROM with reverse mount activated. Everything seemed to be ok but when i started to install Titanium backup to get my apps back the phone reboots at the beginning of the installation progress (after download). I made three installs of the ROM but it's always behaving the same way. Is the new SD-Card broken or did i mess things up when formatting the card?
