USB connection - Internal SD?

Hi,
I have the latest Stock Rom rooted and am trying to access the internal SD card to transfer a Titanium backup folder to my PC. When I plug in the USB and hit MTP, all I get is the internal storage, rather than the SD card where everything is backed up. How can I access the internal SD on my PC?

Unless you have a korean modem, internal sd card, internal storage and sdcard0 is the same thing.
Otherwise it might be a mount/format problem.

I have a US phone. I believe it's actually accessing the internal SD, but not the internal storage. I can't access any data.

Then you don't have an SD, just the internal flash memory. What do you mean you can't access it? Is all you see blank? Have you tried the camera connection? Do you have all the necessary drivers installed? How about a screenshot or maybe actually detailing your problem, so far it took 4 posts to get your model, I wonder how many will be necessary to describe it at the very least.

Moto X Pure Increasing internal Memory.

Happy New Year Everyone.

i already have 128gb sandisk card for storing data , if i need more apps and heavy games what should i do, there is no option to move to sd card like 5.1.1 and format as internal is not good options as well

Format as internal is the only option. Make sure to migrate you data afterwards as well

Also if you open the App Info for the huge apps that are located on the internal memory, you can move them to the SD card instead.

not available once you update app from play store its stuck on internal , only you can move if its stored on memory card on 5.1 and if you updated from play store it will come back to internal memory.

Adoptable Storage. Looks like it can be re-enabled.

So, that guy managed to re-enable Adoptable Storage on his Galaxy S7 Edge, without root, using some simple ADB shell commands

Anyone willing to give it a try on his/her Xperia Z5?

Making your SDcard become part of your internal storage.
Bad part is no SDcard is as fast as internal flash storage so you'll slow your phone down (by how much depends on the speed of your card).

True, but that should be our decision to make, not Sony's.
EDIT:
Just found other threads on this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-premium/general/mm-adoptable-storage-t3332591
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-compact/general/tuto-enable-adoptable-storage-mm-t3334153

It definitely didn't used to be a problem because the internal storage with previous Sony phones was previously the same speed as my sd card , but the internal now is much faster on the Z5, just wish sony made the interface to the SD card faster, then my sd would be the same speed or faster than the internal memory and adoptable storage wouldn't be an issue.

You also lose access to your internal storage when you use 'adopted SD storage'. Android will use it to install some apps but you can't really use for pictures, videos or anything user side. Some apps, some..., will let you move between SD and internal, but they will revert to their default on app update. Also, some apps lose settings when updated if they are not on internal. Also, some apps who are SD aware become unaware of the SD card with 'adopted' and will only use internal memory.
The whole thing is a mess and not ready for prime time IMHO. I've tried it extensively on my Z3 with the concept ROM that allows this, and ended it disabling it because it was more trouble than it was worth.

Would splitting the SD card into two partitions help this?

Adoptable Storage - Anyone got it to work?

I tried the Adoptable storage mod using ADB and everything went through fine with no errors during ADB.
The file size of internal storage is still 32GB reported through the phone's storage setting. It also shows my 64 GB SD card through the phone's storage as well.
SD card disappeared from the File Manager on the phone and does not show up on my PC when connecting the phone.
I filled up the 32 GB internal storage with apps and movies and I am unable to put anymore on. Pretty much indicating that the adoptable storage feature is not working.
I am in the process of factory resetting with the partitioned SD card to see if that fixes anything.

I used the mod to split my 200gb card in half. It worked for me as you can see by the ss.

I finally got mine to correct the total device storage size. Now to see if apps install properly if I fill up the internal storage.
Time to download a ton of crap from Oculus and I'll see what happens.

When you guys say you finally got it to work, what exactly did you do different because I tried exactly as the how-to says and couldn't get it.

After you follow the steps to partition the SD Card, Go to Settings > Storage > SD Card > More (upper right corner). Then migrate files to the SD Card.
Once the migrate completes then I believe that the SD Card is properly made into adoptable storage.
New apps and data should now fill you your SD Card first, before using internal storage.

I have a new problem ...
I did everything on the tutorial and no errors but still wont WORK
My internal phone storage is full and i migrated the internal sd-card (go to Storage-->internalSD-card--->dots uppercorner and migrate) like u said but still the apps won't install on the internal sd-card...
it just asking me to delete some apps to able to install the new one...
Help me with my Sony Aqua m4 8gigs... PLZ

I'm curious about something. Been trying to get this to work but after doing "sm partition disk:179,0 private" (without the quotes) it is my understanding that it may take a while but in no less than 2 seconds it goes back to hero2qltespr:/ $
I also do not see the Migrate data option in (Storage-->internalSD-Card---> upper corner dots). On my Sprint S7 Edge it's Settings --> Device Maintenance --> Storage --> and the 3 dots only has Storage Settings. Once in there there isn't an option to migrate data.
Any idea what I can be doing wrong or does Nougat remove that Migrate option on the Sprint version.

Application storage problem

I have added a 32gb SD Card but I can't even update applications as the rom is too low 8GB I believe. And it's occupied by os mostly. I moved all the apps to sd card but still the apps don't get moved completely from internal storage. And after update the apps get back to internal storage.
How do I get rid of this annoying problem!!?

Try factory resetting, maybe its a bug

So this doesn't happen to anyone else?
Also I noticed when I move app to sd card it doesn't completely move it. say a 222mb app after moving to sd card, it shows 167mb on device storage and 2xx on sd card!

I had that problem.. I partitioned my sd card, I downloaded link2sd plus and I was able to move the whole app to sd card, it's better to use the option link to sd card rather then the option move to sd card, your apps run properly when you link instead of move.. I also installed a custom rom , Igot memory for days

Yes, you cant completely move all app data on sd card. Try link2sd if it works
