So I want to use an app to download directly to my SD card. When I navigate to my SD card, I select grant access then select the SD card. After that it still tells me to grant access to the SD card. What am I doing wrong? I don't want to root my phone, because I may have to send it back go Samsung to fix a dead pixel soon.

Does somebody know if there is any app that can mount or unmount the sd with getting the sd card out of the phone? Just I want to hide all my files from my card...
Just go into settings and select sd card and phone storage, then select unmount SD card for either internal or external card. To remount you will need to reboot the phone.
Voila!
How fast is the internal SD card? Is it at least as fast as an external Class 6 SD card? Or even faster?
I'm sorry for an off-topic post, but it didn't seem like an important enough question to create a separate thread for it.
I need help. I cant get any apps to install from the SD card. Ive formatted and checked all permissions and am at a loss.
Have you enabled install from "Unknown sources"?
settings-->applications-->unknown sources?
Have you tried formatting the SD card from inside Android? (not in your PC)
settings-->sd card & phone storage-->unmount sd card, and then: format sd card

There's various apps for handling moving stuff to the SD card, or defaulting to install there, but I personally use Titanium Backup because I use it for other stuff too. There's an option in batch options to move every non-system app to the SD card.
That's never failed for me.
Keep in mind though that some apps don't work once you've moved them to the SD card. It's a pain, but you have to move some of them back to the phone. You can do this using the method you described above. Once they're on the SD card, the option to move them says "move to phone" and is no longer disabled.
Hi,
I'm trying to rename some files on my SD Card using ES File Explorer on my M9+. When the new window pop-up to give write permission access to SD Card, it was not shown even I selected the option to Show SD card. Instead, It only detects my Internal Storage.
This is the same process I'm doing in my M8 previously and working fine as expected.
Please help. My device is not rooted.
I am unable to transfer files from my phone memory to my sd card.
I am also unable to transfer files from my pc to sd card in the phone. I have no issue transferring files from pc to phone memory.
I can view and open files on the sd card and the phone is able to play music and movies stored on the sd card.
Can anyone help me fix this issue?
Thanks!
I don't have such problem at all.
Try different file browsers like ES File Explorer and Astro.
If those do not work, try and factory reset your phone and ask for a replacement if the problem still persists after that.

Does the phone read the sd card? Do you have anything on it to access? If not I would suggest formatting the sd card.

The phone reads all the files on the sd card. I get an error that says Access denied when i copy a file from the phone memory to any folder on the SD card...however I get no error when I copy the files to the root SD card. It's weird...not sure whats going on.
You need to use the stock file manager to copy to the sd card or from the sd to internal as this is a "security feature" since Android lollipop. If you wish to use any other file explorer you MUST be rooted...

I use ES File Explorer and it works - and I won't root until ZTE posts full factory roms for the US version.
I still think there is some issue with the sd card that can be solved by formatting it - if the phone won't move files to it and the pc recognizes the phone but not the sd card how did you get files on it in the first place?

Not true. I just used Solid Explorer to copy files from internal memory to the SD card. There was an extra procedure of selecting the sd card in what looks like the stock storage selection menu thing (that also has Drive, Downloads etc) which was apparently necessary for Solid Explorer to get the necessary permission. Maybe it doesn't work with old file explorer apps that haven't implemented this solution, but it definitely works with Solid Explorer without root.
