![]() ![]() With portable storage of course you can mount the card in any device with a card reader and the data will be available. Android Guides How to use micro SD card in Android Marshmallow A guide for using micro SD card in Android Marshmallow: how to decide whether you should use micro SD card as internal storage (adoptable storage) or as portable storage in Android Marshmallow, and how to get the correct micro SD card for your phone. The card is formatted and encrypted with a key that allows its use in only that one device. Downloaded: doubleTwist My general media skills: Sucky. Microittybitty SD card: came in todays mail. Scenario: Phone: HTC Incredible still ten days from my hands. If you have to do a warranty replacement, you won't be able to put the sd card on the new phone and get all of the apps and data back. 1 Apologies in advance for being new and dumb. Files are being sent to 'Android\data\\files\music' Other music players look at the root /Music folder and cannot change that - this currently forces me to sync then move the folders manually. (I'm not sure what the performance degradation would be and how noticeable it would be.) Janu05:50 Is there a way to change where the sync folder exists on the sd card Such as root /Music. The SD card will be slower than the internal storage that the turbo 2 uses, so you may see some extra lag caused by slower read write access to storage. I think the same thing would happens with photos and videos. In fact, android is designed so all new app installs go onto the storage location with the most available space, so that may end up putting all of your apps on the sd card. If the card fails, you may end up losing access to apps and all of their data. If it is adopted, you will have at least some apps storing the app and all of its internal data on the card. If it is portable, if the sd card fails, you'll only lose the data on the sd card, which would be photos, videos, music, maybe some external app data for apps that can allow you to store data on an sd card. It may be that Android is intelligent about storing apps and data on adoptable storage - maybe that any app that runs on internal has its data on internal and any app on adopted storage stores it's data only there, so that if the SD card fails, it doesn't destroy any apps that are left. I know that SD cards are pretty stable, and almost everybody who puts one in keeps it in, but I can't believe that people can't get by using portable storage for media and that 32 GB isn't enough for apps and data. I always get nervous about using more than one media device as one virtual driver or partition - now you've just increased the chance that the whole thing will fail compared with using discrete storage units. I think it's too bad that Android doesn't add a bunch of "Are you sure?", "Are you really sure?", "Are you really, really sure?" to the dialog to format as adoptable. Format as portable must be there as an option if you have changed your mind and want to switch back to portable. I cleared data for media and external storage. I'm just trying to skip a step.It's already formatted as internal. SD card formatted portable, but not recognized in recovery (TWRP). ![]() I want the music to go to the SD card anyway, whether I wait for the phone to get here or not. if you have a small amount of internal storage and desperately need room for more apps and app data, making that microSD card internal storage will allow you to gain some more internal storage. If I could figure out how to copy my music files to my SD card, could I then just put the card in the phone and have the stock music player recognize them and all that? Or would I end up down some dead-end street by myself in the middle of the night, drunk and dazed? In general, it’s probably most convenient to leave MicroSD cards formatted as portable storage. And getting devices to talk nicely to each other. This is not an irrational fear, as I am notoriously bad with any kind of file management. So I have this fear that I won't be able to get all my lovely music from my computer to my Incredible. ![]() Microittybitty SD card: came in today's mail.
