403 error in Play Store

After using Foldermount to move some huge games to external sd card, i suddenly get problems with Play Store. Error code 403.

Could this have something to do with moving too much data to external sd and keep everything mounted? Maybe the Play Store is using some bad coding to check how much space is left on the internal storage. Hope someone has a solution for this problem

[Android Software Development] ikjadoon:
Just to clarify: after creating a pair (source: internal; destination: external), you should see the files in internal, right?

I only see my files in external; it's like FolderMount just moved the files, but the "linking/pairing" bit didn't work. I've already sent a bug report, but if I missed something obvious, let me know.

Moto G 2014, stock OTA 5.0.2

Source: WhatsApp Media folder on internal SD card

Destination: newly created "WhatsApp media" folder on external SD card

Neither ASTRO File Explorer nor WhatsApp see any files in the internal SD card. :(

Hi, foldermount is working well for all my apps except injustice and wwe immortals.These games working fine at the internal storage, but as soon as I move them via foldermount, they keep asking to download data and warning me about "you may not purchased the app".If I turn off wifi, the apps are working fine.Little confused here.Anybody help?

Hi egingell,

I've tried setting up FM with a source location as a folder in /data/data/com.xxx/xxx and the destination as /storage/extSdCard/Android/data/com.xxx/xxx on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S running stock but rooted 4.4.2 and it is unable to do the mounting. I manually moved the data over but the mount doesn't occur at boot (w/auto set for delay) or manually afterwards using the pushpin. Is this something that I shouldn't be trying to do with FM? Are the read/write restrictions occurring that are preventing the mount from happening? If this is something FM can't do, how would I go about trying to do the mount manually, using from a terminal running as root? There are a lot of parameters I don't understand when checking the output of mount in the terminal for another folder pair that I have successfully working in FM so that I could attempt to mimic it for a manual attempt? Any help or suggestions you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello, thanks a lot for your work, i've installed FolderMount this morning, moved Whatsapp folder to my SD Card and all worked fine. :good:

We need to restart after folder movement for wahtsapp to locate the videos and pictures.

[Android Software Development] madmack:
You don't really need to restart. If the pin is green and whatsapp still isn't able to figure it out, just simply bring up the 'recents menu' and swipe whatsapp out (to the left or right to close it) and then launch it again.

[Android Software Development] KCFish:
Hi,

I'm having some difficulties making this work with my FireTV.

FireTV. Rooted. Installed FolderMount 2.7.1.

It was working fine for the longest time, then one day I launched one of the apps which I'd been using FolderMount on, and it prompted me to download the data. Even though FolderMount said it was working, SU was granted, prompt said folders were mounted. But still prompting to download game data.

So I uninstalled/reinstalled FolderMount. Now I cannot get it to pair folders anymore. I run App analyzer, select the app, select the available folder on my external drive which is working and visible. It tries to do the data migration, but eventually after about 5 minutes, I get a popup from FireOS saying I'm critically low on free space. But the data never gets transferred to the external drive, and is still visible in its original location. But at that point it shows I have 0B free space on my system drive. At that point, I have to uninstall the app I was trying to migrate to free up the disk space.

Would anyone know what I might be doing wrong? Does it require a specific amount of free space available when migrating data to an external? I assumed it was simply a move function. I've restarted many times, and uninstalled/reinstalled several times as well.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Make sure nothing is mounted using FolderMount and then move the files using another file manager app like ES File Explorer and see if that works.
[Android Software Development] daniello8:
FM is serving me well on my S5 but now I had to setup up my daughters S4 using a TW Lollipop prerelease version. Some things are not working well and I am not 100% sure if I am the culprit or something is wrong in FM.

What I did this time was sort files on the external SD card. Then I started the phone and linked Folders from the internal SD card to the external one. So in fact the file were already located at the target (so FM wouldn't even need to copy stuff). IMO it should even be possible to link folders if both folders exist and have data in them - as long as the data is not identical (I guess there would be an overwrite warning from FM).

So what am I experiencing and what are my questions:

Camera crashes with SD card failures

Pictures appearing twice (with correct symbols showing a version on internal and a version on external sd) and of course if you delete one of them both are gone ;) I did not check the experimental "exclude from Scan" function since I neither needed it on Kitkat (S4) or on Lollipop (S5).

Whatsapp audio messages not playing due to them "not being available on SD". Strange enough this didn't happen with all contacts. But as soon as I unpinned the folder the audio files from all contacts were playable.

Since my daughter doesn't have a Play Store credit I payed the Paypal way. It sais that once you validate a key the file is deleted and you are good to go. I assumed this is another way to register the file at the play store but I had to do the validation over at a later point in time. And the app doesn't appear as purchased in Play Store.

And I am not really sure if the Samsung fix is correctly applied. After a reflash of the ROM FM didn't ask me again (not 100% sure about this but 98%). Is there a way to verify this manually?

Can anyone shed some light .. and maybe share their (similar?) experiences?
[Android Software Development] RAXXer:
Reading the thread, it was not clear to me if Whatsapp was compatible or not with FolderMount.

As a reference, in my case it's working (so far). Needed to delete and restart twice (error in first moving of files). Name of folders without blanks, just in case...

Only comment to do, I checked the option "not to scan", but pictures duplicated in gallery...

Anyway, you made my day (well, my daughter's)

[Android Software Development] madmack:
You probably have some residue on the internal sdcard. You can usually fix this by a) unpinning the folder pair, edit the folder pair by long pressing and then press the edit button, then simply do nothing and click the check mark on top. FM will ask you if you want to move the files, possibly overwrite. click yes and then pin again once the move operation is done

Hey, confusing annoying bug here.

My foldermount' linked pictures folders are getting duplicated in Gallery, and/or showing corrupted pictures.

Most of the time, it just show "corrupted" pictures. Thing is, the picture isn't corrupted, and it seems to be a picture that Android thinks it's there, but it's not, while it still shows the correct picture on the gallery.

Practical example: An album with 8 pictures. 4 horizontal pictures and 4 vertical pictures. Android shows this album as 16 pictures, 4 horizontal working pictures, 4 horizontal not working pictures, 4 vertical working pictures, 4 vertical not working pictures.

Pic

Spoiler content hidden.

But sometimes it shows a duplicated album, with random number of broken images, and another album with no broken images. New pictures taken/received goes to the album with broken pictures. If I delete the album with no broken pictures, it deletes the pictures from the phone, but the other one doesn't, although it displays the newest received pictures from apps.

Spoiler content hidden.

Confusing? Lol

It seems to only happen with the linked pictures. I can delete the "broken" pictures, but they come back after reboot

Hey! Unrelated, but did you get your Whatsapp working properly? I have the same problem. All old images were moved, but Whatsapp can't download any new images/media.
[Android Software Development] GTMoraes:
It always worked properly on that matter, in every ROM I've used.

Unfortunately it only causes this weird issue, not only with whatsapp, but also screenshot album, downloaded images album etc

Tapatalked thru my LG <3
[Android Software Development] ikjadoon:
Oh, OK. I noticed your post earlier that WhatsApp was having trouble.

I figured out it on my phone: for new images or media to download properly, you need to link the whole WhatsApp folder, not just the Media folder. Like so:

Now, WhatsApp is working perfectly! :D

For your issue...wow, it sounds like Android is having a stroke. :(

Two ideas: you have that box checked "Exclude from Media Scan", right? And now in the second external folder, there is a nomedia file (hidden, will need a file browser that can view hidden files)?

And, have you checked if this happens with other photo viewers, like QuickPic?

[Android Software Development] An Droid:
Sorry, just following the latest discussion:

Does FolderMount replace the sdcard file on all devices/roms? (I'm assuming it does as that's what allows it to do what it does?).

Just checked my Shield tablet (stock lollipop 5.0.1 with FolderMount installed & working) and didn't notice a sdcard.backup file and the existing sdcard file date is the same as the rest of the files in the directory.

I thought the modification just involved modifying a setting/value in the platform.xml file to enable write permissions for the external SD card? (Which it does appear to do as the modification and a backup of platform.xml are both present)

Edit: just re-checked the FAQ - appears this applies to Samsung Galaxy phones/tablets only?
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Correct. You won't have that change applied. FolderMount figures what it needs to do, and given that every manufacturer out there chose to implement something different when it comes to vold mount points, FM changes different binary/xml documents accordingly.
