as mentioned only works for miui. pocopad dont even use that

Yep, my phone is still alive and well and I haven’t noticed any drop in performance during gaming

yeah it will.

really any insight helps me at this point. what did you mean by connecting and disconnecting to computer? or is there anything else that you remember that could help? thank you so much 

well the camera shows the message insert sd card before using camera. which is also the same message that pops up when trying to open file explorer. did you not have this issue?

Stupid reddit does not show the exact date of my previous post. Only that it’s been 2 years ago. I have notes in my Evernote but not sure which date was it. Anyway I think I saw the Photos in Google Photos app but not in gallery. Then I tried to take another photo with phone camera and see where the file gets stores and then somehow the rest reappeared

does clear cache in recovery erase the data thats been shown in system storage? im really at a loss here for understanding the issue.

these images are with the sd card in

hey im having a similar issue ( [https://www.reddit.com/r/AskADataRecoveryPro/comments/1dhqkue/recover\_data\_from\_sd\_card/](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskADataRecoveryPro/comments/1dhqkue/recover_data_from_sd_card/) ) could you specify how did you get all the photos and data back?

hey does this work? https://www.reddit.com/r/datarecovery/comments/1dh8zyw/comment/l8whcei/ i think ive been having the same issue and would really appreciate any help.

thanks, it worked for my xiomi redmi 9 <3

I’ve witness history, and you just helped me. Thanks I guess.

1. Where is All Activities?

same

Just insert micro-SD Card into PC using Card Reader. Press Windows + X and then open disk management. Right-click on the SD volume. click delete volume. After making card unallocated. Right click on it to make a new volume.
assign a name and letter
quick format and use exFAT format instead of NTFS.
YOHOO that worked for me .

Is the storage supposed to go to system.

How can i undo this?

I just did it in MIUI 12, I didn’t have to do the 2nd step (seems that button was removed from the or something).

I did it going to Files and tapping in one that doesn’t have a lock in it (specifically the ones that say ViewDownloadsActivity and FilesActivity, the rest didn’t really work) opened the Files Manager and I was able to get into the menu where you can format it as internal (didn’t really format it still, I will acquire a microSD card later).

Despite this post being 3 years old I hope you can anwser this question for me which is unlikely…
How do you even do the 2nd step?

Good afternoon, I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro, and I can’t get past the 5th step, back to the Activity Launcher home screen, can anyone help me?

so it seems that gallery cannot see Photos which are in \\\\DCIM\\Camera

So I did this on Redmi 5A and now it shows system storage 53.49GB but the free space didn’t increase at all and shows 846MB! Seems like all that space somehow became system instead of internal. Any ideas? It is MIUI 11

Hi bro, I have a redmi 9 pro with Miui 12.5 and I don’t know if I am doing something wrong. I’m trying to do this, but in the step 6 when I am going to Storage Settings just causes the app to restart… anyone know how to solve it?

Is there a way to undo this?

Is it possible to access the data from a PC just like we can access the internal storage?
Thank you in advance

~~my highest card is 8GB. till my 500GB card arrives, I’m stuck with this card.~~

~~a temporary but now situation~~

now have my 512GB card

>turning your 32GB phone into a 256GB with a 256GB card

I thought it was 32GB + 256GB = 288GB

excuse me, I have a question.

I have changed my SD card to internal, but how do I check the storage?

phone has 25 GB, SD card 8 GB.

check from file manager, 23.21GB used/ 25.75GB

if check from storage in setting, 2.53GB available / 8GB total

23.21 + 2.53 = 25.74

this available remain in the setting is only the internal storage?why the memory didn’t increase?

Storage crashes when I try to enter to “storage settings” (redmi 4a miui 9)

My Redmi A6 still notifies insufficient storage size and blocks me from installing new applications. Settings > Storage still shows the same available storage size before applying the procedure in the post. Anything else I can do to remedy this issue?

ok something is wrong. in my case it doesnt show 32gb on pc, just the microsd as internal

Hey. Could I ask you if you figured out if it was due to this tweak or not?

Edit: I’ll answer my own question to whoever is going to google his way here — yes, this tweak makes updates impossible to install.

Others have had problems with the phone recognizing the newly formatted SD card after the battery was fully depleted [https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/bbfjh3/redmi\_6a\_adoptable\_storage\_issue/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/bbfjh3/redmi_6a_adoptable_storage_issue/)

What happens if I didn’t use a v30 sd card?

it only replaces internal partition, not system partition

ok in my case after setting as internal, only the microsd card appears in the xiaomi file manager. under storage the syatem storage is the size of microsd card. I can copy more than 4gb via usb

You reed a rooted device. Install an app called link 2 sd (I don’t exactly remember the name, Google it. There r many apps like it). With that app you can make something called a symbolic link. The app thinks it’s saving it’s files to the internal storage but in reality it’s actually in the SD card.

Wait really? What about the phone’s internal storage?

is there any other way to launch fiiles menu?

Android 6 and above supports this. The Files menu can also come up when you set certain programs [like mx player] to enable read write on micro sd card. Maybe its not called Files in your 3s?

This would help

I have tried this..Now how to set back things to normal again? sd-card is not being detected?

Is there any way to take care of the WhatsApp data ? My father literally downloads every image and video on WhatsApp and the phone is 16GB ROM variant .

It’s encrypted to your phone.

Thanks for this info! I was pretty ticked off when I bought my Mi Max and found out this feature wasn’t made available back in MIUI 8. I probably won’t do it on my phone now, but I know my sister and niece will be good candidates for doing this on their RN3P phones, assuming their MIUI is the right version.

I had no idea that this was even a limitation on MIUI. How annoying. I guess I’ll stick to AOSP ROMs wherever possible because this is standard on LineageOS

yes it encrypts the micro sd card so you cant use it anywhere else.

Isn’t that the process that will make the SD card unusable on other phones? I heard that it is irreversible, but I might be mistaking it with something else.

Yeah I read that on other sites as well. Guess I have to shell out after all. I have a current 128gb SD card but it’s just a Class 10 type.

It has its pros and cons. You will know once you try. Personally i have transformed my 32GB note 5 into a 128GB phone

I want to try this on my dads phone but how hard it is to change things back? His phone got the class 10 SD only.

it works on miui 9 and 10. i recommend v30 micro sd card instead of cheaper class 10 for a pleasant experience.
