SD Card in Q5 Pro as Internal Storage problem
« on: December 31, 2016, 04:51:14 PM »
Hi,

I've inserted a MicroSD card in Q5 Pro and in settings Android it shows it's there and I chose to format it and use it as internal Storage. I can change some Apps towards it and back to the eMMC storage

However, when I use ES explorer or file browser I cannot see the SD card. It only shows the internal.

How can I browse the microSD card?

PS> I run with the latest official f/w and Android 7

You need to have root access in order to see those files.

You can't browse the micro SD card. When it's formatted in this way it becomes integrated with the device's internal storage.

In ES File Explorer you should see total internal storage being bigger than the usual for Q5 Pro (whatever your SD card size is plus ~ 4GB).

My card is formatted correctly, but I do not see it in File explorer only in setting, storage.  I believe and have confirmation that it is formatted correctly.  How do I move applications to the SD Card.  I thought it would be easy to do, but as it isn't shown in ES File Explorer how do I.   Can someone help me please?
