Hope this helps

I think something has gone wrong somewhere, mine worked first time! Are you guys rooted? unmounting the Ext. SD card / Unpinning the pairings should not run the games without prompting you to re-download the data since data resides on the external SD card, if the game runs without prompting then the game data hasn't been moved to the external SD card. :) Hope this helps!

Can I use folder mount to move the whole Android folder to sdcard? What the best app to move this data in your opinion (on latest pages we got some different options).

I have had flashed TWRP recovery and its taking 2gb worth space. is it good idea to move it to ExternalSd storage using this method?

---------- Post added at 09:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 PM ----------

it won't let you move whole Android folder, you'll have to pick each particular app in order to move it to SD.

Quick Questions :

Are the class 10 cards from Sandisk / Samsung comparable in speeds to the internal flash memory?
[Galaxy S 4 General] demlasjr:
Of course not

I have Samsung class 10 32gb sdcard (not uhs)

Internal memory speed is pretty variable, same about Ram... Every test, different result, but internal nand is faster. Some times the internal reach 40MB/s read speed, ram 800 MB/s and sdcard 15MB/s write speed. The card is formatted with exFAT and the phone is a S3
[Galaxy S 4 General] sasha007:
Which app is this ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] demlasjr:
It's A1 SD Bench

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a1dev.sdbench
[Galaxy S 4 General] zencooler:
Since firmware MEA it's officially supported.

Biiiiig thanks, Eambo for your great work on this issue!
[Galaxy S 4 General] skivnit:
From what I read you can't move game data, only the apps?
[Galaxy S 4 General] zencooler:
I didn't try yet. You are probably right.
[Galaxy S 4 General] flash608:
Today come out official Samsung update (for now only for Germany without branding) leting users to transfer apps/games data to externad SdCard (as it was in SGS2) :D
[Galaxy S 4 General] PaulParanoia:
What's best?

Now that the S4 supports 'move to sd card', what do people think is the better approach?

1. Continue to use Folder Mount to automatically move the android\data and android\obb directories to the ext sd card.

2. Stop using Folder Mount and rely on 'move to sd card'?

Would be interested to know which method people think is best and which will free up the most space on the internal sd card.
[Galaxy S 4 General] tata_brada:
Try....

Move to SD card NOT move app data!

App data are the bigest part in games, etc...

So, you shoud use folder mount to move app data.

Combination works! You can move app with 'move to SD card' and data with folder mount..
[Galaxy S 4 General] Jay1997:
I need some help guys.

Ok so I have followed all your steps,I actually had FolderMount up and running with everything working. The issue kind of popped up and im not sure what happened. I'm running CM 10.1 on my Galaxy S4 right now. I decided that i want to remove FolderMount and flash touchwiz back on the device. The simple reason is because samsung have now enabled the ability to move apps too the sd card. So i tried to remove FolderMount only I think it messed up my micro sd card. When I plug my phone into my pc it only lets me browse my internal memory. There is no option for micro sd. So i tried to have a look at this on my phone and it wont let me wipe my sd card or do anything with my sd card. What happend? Im sure that this has something to do with FolderMount I have never had an issue like this before. The Micro SD card is basically useless right now. I can see the files on the card using a file manager but i cant access the memory i had on the sd card. I dont know what to do. I would really appreciate some help guys. Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 General] demlasjr:
I choose 3. Wait for a 32gb version of the S4 :P

[MENTION=5300717]Jay1997[/MENTION] go in disk partitioning or use a file recover software and check if you can see the sdcard. There are softwares to fix usb pendrives which works fine with sdcards
[Galaxy S 4 General] joelteixeira:
Since app 2 sd is going official why wait for a 32Gb S4 when you can already move 64Gb of data to the SD?

[Galaxy S 4 General] joelteixeira:
I remember reading something about this regarding Galaxy S3, maybe some more time and the developers will include this feature. But... Just curious, even a Class 10 sdcard is not as fast as the internal memory right? Such radical chance can possibly affect the core IO performance.

Enviado de meu GT-I9500 usando o Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S 4 General] roco446:
I read it too but it needs an specific kernel. I don't know what the kernel does but developers may investigate it :D

I think my sandisk ultra 64GB works with 65mb/s it run correctly on my galaxy note 2 when I had it as internal. So I think it should be fast enough :o

[Galaxy S 4 General] waylo:
I tested my internal memory write speed and it equates to a Class 24! So in this test, internal memory = 2.4x as fast as a class 10.
[Galaxy S 4 General] :
On the assumption that one can move apps to their SD card, what would be the type of apps that wouldn't benefit much from a 2.4x speed increase on the internal vs external SD? For example if you had a flashlight app and then an app for something like GPS navigation, would it be better to put the flashlight app on your SD card as it probably wouldn't take a hit to performance, where as the GPS navigation app might?
[Galaxy S 4 General] demlasjr:
Well, because you can move the app officially, not its data. Then are apps like Google Music and Google Maps which data can't be moved either. Also, we don't know how Google will react to the Samsung feature, maybe will put Samsung remove that function as it was removed with a reason. Nobody knows. Internal is faster and I'm feeling safer with a 32gb.
[Galaxy S 4 General] waylo:
Well I think you're exactly right, many apps just run and do not need to re-access the memory quickly. Those apps typically are fairly small though. I personally would like to move some of my GPS mapping data (Navigon) onto the SD card as that takes up about 1 gb. I don't think a performance hit would be that notable, as I recall the days when I was using my Nexus One with my sdcard formatted to ext4 (class 6 only) integrated into one big chunk of available memory. I think a GPS app actually should be just fine with the data on a SD card.

There are probably some high CPU/GPU demand games which would take a hit with a reduction in read speeds.
[Galaxy S 4 General] :
Ah that's good to know then. I bought a 64GB Samsung SD card with my phone, and have been unsure of what apps to move to the card and what to keep on internal. So probably just the connection-intensive types (as you said, stuff like games).
[Galaxy S 4 General] bibiner:
If it trick like that... Did it mean even thou the file is on SD cars but it read as internal, so eventually it also can appear storage problem when it hit 8 GB. Even the 8GB file is on SDcard?
[Galaxy S 4 General] :
No, it tricks the phone but the data moves from the internal to the sd, so in reality you get free space on the internal.

Now as many of you have seen, the stock wallpapers appear without the black bar (where you battery, time, etc. is).

But once you use a wallpaper that is not stock, the black bar appears so the wallpaper is black on the top. I tried to search for the place where you can save the stock wallpapers and tried to add mine there. But I couldn't find the place where the Samsung stock wallpapers are stored.

Do you know to make the black top bar disappear? I thought that was one of the improvements from the S3 but nothing has changed (unless you use the stock wallpapers)..

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paddylaz:
What I don't understand (actually I don't understand most of the gaudy crap they've shoved into touchwiz)

is why they've made the status bar (when you CAN see it) this bizarre very dark red/charcoal esque colour, and not just pure black. At least with pure black you could completely hide it or meld it with a dark/nighttime wallpaper or something.

This one is just an eyesore.

This morning I was attempting to update the firmware on my i9505.

I downloaded and extracted the .tar.md5 file and opened Odin in administrator mode.

Stupidly I then added the downloaded file as Phone and not PDA and pressed start in Odin. Unsurprisingly it failed.

I downloaded and tried other firmware (as Phone) before I realised my error.

When I boot the phone "normally" I get the failed firmware update message and have tried Kies but it can't connect to the phone.

Download mode does work, but when I try with the firmware (stock and pre-rooted) as PDA it always fails.

Can someone please help to recover my phone? I'm feeling pretty stupid just now :(

S4 bricked after freeze during unmount internal sdcard

Dear friends. I need your help!

I did the actualization on my S4 i9500 (I9500XXUAMDK with root) and after this, I was trying to put more space in my SDcard (editing vold fstab files). During this process, appeared a message on phone about one error in sdcard and it suggested me to unmount the sdcard to try solve the problem. So, when I click yes, the phone froze and then I turned it off, but now it dont pass to Sangung Logo and the phone just go in recovery mode. In recovery mode I tryied clear/mount/unmount some file, but return with error to mount any directories.

I think the phone have the files or some partition corrupted!!! I can access it through ODIN and adb shell as well. There is (in adb commands) a command to fix the partition? How can I do?

I can access the phone in ODIN, and I tried to re-install the original FW. It did well (OK for update), but the phone cant finish the instalation after, because it cant mount anything. And returns to recovery mode with many messages about it cant mount directories.

Every thing I try to do, the phones (in recovery mode) returns "cant mount... or error to mount". I as said, I cant clear cache, format /sdcard or other directory or reset to factory data as well (because I think, the system cant mount any directories).

Somebody had this problem or could help me to solve it, please!!!

Tks in advance!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artnada:
Why on Earth would you mess around with stuff like that? I hope you get help here, and next time just flash it and don't mess around. Perhaps get an external SDCard to solve your "space" problem.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rgbarros:
hehehe... I agree totally with you. But, it wasnt brick because there is some mistake in vold.fstab edition (I suppose). My fault is to accept unmout sugestion in the phone message.

But, it has a soft brick now. I got the access thought adb and odin and I'm trying to find a valid pit to rebuild the partition, that I think is corrupted now (I cant mount anything there. I can access it, but not change anything there).

I found a post here that there is a pit file. I cant ask there because I dont have enough privileges to post in development topic. The links are http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2217777 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2214865

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rgbarros:
Tks demlasjr. My phone is a i9500 (not the ...905).

I run the adonis.pit on pit magic and it generated a analisys report (attached). Before I put it to run on ODIN, you (or somebody) could give a feedback about the entry memory below:

----------------------------------------------------------

Entry Memory Address: 0x754

Binary Type: 0 (UNKNOWN)

Device Type: 2 (MMC)

Identifier: 12

My doubt is about the Partition Name CDMA-RADIO. Is this correct for a i9500 S4? I just really confirm and just to avoid to brick totally my phone, because when I run this pit through ODIN, or fix it or break it (no more chances to revive it)!!!

Tks very much!!!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demlasjr:
I've seen that you have the 9500 later, but the forum was down and I couldn't edit my post. On that thread is a discussion about it. Somebody days that may be from 9502. I just seen the art you posted there, try adding this info too, including the pit magic report. Kinda hard to get confirmation and a trustful pit yet.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rgbarros:
Dear demlasjr, the forum was down and I forgot to attach the pit magic report when the forum goes up. Im attaching the files now (magic pit report and the adonis.pit that I got in other topic about S4 forum).

If you (or somebody) could help me to analyse it and give us a feedback if this pit is a valid pit for samsung S4 i9500, I will thank a lot!!!

Ps.: I´m trying to solve the problem too, looking for a way to mount the files through adb shell, because I got access my phone with this way and I can see all the files inside there. I just cant to mount any drive yet. Is it possible the problem be only a vold.fstab file corruption or missed? And in this case, is only to solve this file (vold.fstab) to revive my phone?

Or there is a some command in adb shell that could repair the structure files (like scandisk for dos?). I'm newbie on linux and I'm trying to use fsck command, but it returns a error message (fsck: not found). I dont know if I'm putting a correct/complete command to scan and repair the system/drives/files (or if there is a error)...

So, I´m trying to solve it using 3 differents ways of thinking (finding a valid pit, edit/restore vold.fstab and find a correct adb command line to scan and repair eventually corrupt files/directories) and if I solve the problem, I'll be happy to post a tuto here to help some other guys in the future.

Until there, Im working to find a solution.

Tks for help me!!!

S4 is a newest phone, so, there is not a consistent or many topics/files/cfw tested yet. I´m looking for 3 full days about this and I found a lot of topics in how to root/unroot the phone, but not yet about pits, commands, etc...

The problem is that phone has a corruption files inside (my first diagnostic) and this is avoid to flash any firmware there until I fix this problem.

Until Odia or GSMCN came back to you, we can't help you my friend. Only them can confirm the .pit file comparing the one already published with his phone's pit file.

One question....what if you try Emergency recover in KIES. Connect your phone to pc, open KIES, open emergency recover and insert your phone serial number. I read that people messed some times with the partitions and KIES saved their phone. It will not hurt to try, KIES is a putty compared with the repartitioning.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rgbarros:
I tried to connect it in KIES, but KIES didnt recognizes the phone. I'll try once again!!! I think I really discovered what the problem is, reported by adb parted command in /dev/block/mmcblk0: "error: Both the primary and backup GPT tables are corrupt. Try making a fresh table, and using Parted´s rescue feature to recover partitions"

So, probably when the phone froze during unmounting sdcard, the partitions were corrupted. I'm really thinking to use the adonis.pit, due I think there is no other manner to solve the problem.

I'm waiting any reply from Odia, to see if him can help me. Otherwise, I'll cross fingers and press "enter", to see what happen!!!

My friend, tks for all!!! After I´ll post the results!!! :fingers-crossed:
