use the pin to take out the SIM compartment then place SIM card in slot 1 and the SD card in slot 2

This is what I have already done. But how can I format the microSD card to use it as INTERNAL STORAGE (App usage). Android 6 has the ability to format the microSD card for internal storage usage. But I cannot find any configuration in the settings.

Mine is working fine with the SD card, but I think you can't install apps directly on it with 6.0

You actually can ,go to settings- advanced settings- memory & storage- default location- and click on sd card

You are right about that, but I dont see an option to move apps to the SD card though

The system must ask you if you want to use it as internal storage or as a conventional sd card as soon as you insert the card..... Maybe huawei didnt implement that feature.

So the swap option apperas after buting sd card??

Reinstall
You can't move apps onto sd card...
The only option is to configurate your internal storage on sd but then you have to reinstall all your apps to have them on your sd card...
I've got the same problem with my Huawei Nova android 6.0

[Q] Help please

I have a Samsung Galaxy note II (GT-7100)
The phone kept unmounting and prepairing my sd card every time id wake the phone up from idle.
And then it gave me a error the card was blank or currupt and to format it, i did not format the sd card.
Now the Samsung will not recognize the sd card at all, i tried it in my friends S3 but that phone will not regonize it either, both note II and S3 are rooted.
Now after the SD card ****ed up, i tried downloading some apps on Googleplay, it says there isnt enough space yet i have 6gb internal space but when i update apps it allows it to do that.
I dont know what to do, i want my SD card to work because its 32GB and has my **** on it, also i want to install apps and play games but i cant because this phone is turning out to be wank really, only got it in january.
Is there anyway of formatting the sd card through my phones usb? i dont care if i have to whip the card i just want to use it. Also how can i get googleplay to work because thats annoying as well
At the minute im downloading a updated firmware for samsung kies so loosing root and then doing a factory reset to see if this will fix anything.
Thanks in advance.
Format it in PC, first quick format and if that still doesn't works try full format....And if still not works try a Google search for repairing SD card....

\you should not need PC to format the SD card.
In setting on storage you will see there is one item say format Sd card.
Failing that us an apk call GO taskmanager EX, it does lots more thanthe basic.
just format within your phone
just remove your mc in your phone and find a card reader that is compatible with your mc..and try quick format.....if you can format it then...your memory card is in good condition
may be the mc is having unsupported filesystem , try formatting it from ur pc , n in format option select "set default " before formating . n then insert it in ur phone n format it again before using from phone itself ..
hope it will help ..
Thanks for the reply people!
Around 7 hours after I posted this, I saw my phone randomly light up so I woke it up from idle and it said prepairing sd card and now its working normal again :S? Some wierd shizzle

[Q] Swap external SD Card for internal memory, running 4.2.2?

I'm running CM 4.2.2 on my Galaxy Tablet 2, 7" American model 3113.
Looking for a way to swap the external sd card with the internal memory.
There are some methods listed in these forums but from the ones i've seen they don't work on 4.2.+
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Sorry, i tried to delete the post & move the post to the Q&A section. But it won't seem to allow me to.
Yeah, I am looking for a way to do this too. Or is there any way to mount the external SD card to the internal SD card memory? As the internal memory now is not enough for me but the 32 GB SD card can't seem to be used to install apps.

you can't instal apps on sd card.use gl2sd (root required) to move app's data(present in internal storage) to sd card.
you can get gl2sd on play store
ROM TOOLBOX has the option.

Adoptable Storage on Honor 4c

Hi There..!
Is there any method to adopt SD Card as internal storage in honor 4c since adopting sd card is one of the new feature in marshmallow. I googled it and read many forums but found nothing. I want more apps to install but not enough space. even link2sd is not working with marshmallow.
Can this be done by formatting sd card manually as private..?
Any help appreciated. Thanks...

Huawei removed the "Adoptable Storage" option just like LG and Samsung in Marshmallow.
Link2SD isn't compatible with Marshmallow. Use Apps2SD - All in one Tool instead. I am using it on Marshmallow and it works!
Yes you can actually manually format your SD as private but it will make things extremely worse. Your total storage will be shown correct (i.e. Internal + SD Card) but the free space will be reported incorrectly (your SD card's free space will be shown as 0 Bytes). Furthermore your SD card will be completely inaccessible within the device. Even though the Adoptable Storage option is great but apps like Apps2SD provide you more flexibility and control over which apps you want to keep in Internal and which in External.
The following commands should be executed using ADB and USB Debugging switched on in Developer Settings. (i.e. turn on USB Debugging and connect your device to computer; open Command Prompt in the folder where Platform Tools ADB/Fastboot are present): Credits to Modaco for posting this solution for Samsung http://www.modaco.com/news/android/...e-adoptable-storage-on-your-s7-s7-edge-r1632/
Your external SD card will be formatted during this process. Backup what's important before following the below instructions
Code:
[B]adb shell[/B]
[B]su[/B] [I]~ root privileges are required[/I]
[B]sm list-disks[/B] [I]~ this will list the available disks that can be adopted; take note of the disk id in output which is disk:XXX:XXX or disk:XXX-XXX[/I]
[B]sm partition disk_id private[/B] [I]~ obviously replace disk_id with the one shown as output in above command; this process will take some time[/I]
Your SD card will be set as Adoptable Storage. Reboot your device just in case. But I still remind you that this whole process is risky and Adoptable Storage doesn't works quite well in EMUI.

Can you please explain the proper method of using app2sd? or give any link to good guide?
root essentials on play market can add adoptable storage
I have used root essential and at last I have the freedom of 16 gb memory in which I can Install apps
U should try it
Its better than manual method and safe also
It does show 0 bytes in setting storage menu but in file manager it shows real storage value

Yes bro but just use a faster sd card for quick moving and creation of files.
Also root essentials makes it poosible to revert the changes.just remember u dont have access to the internal storage anymore by connecting to pc,but u can get back by reverting it so its all safe.

Could someone confirm that adoptable storage actually work? I tried to set it up in mixed mode: sm partition DISK mixed 50 with a 32GB SD card. It did seam to work, but at some point when I was installing software I got back out of memory, but for sure I have not used up the 16GB. Any Ideas?
I'm also not sure if you should use the migrate data option in the "Memory & storage" menu or not.
I'm using C675B530 and always running out of internal storage

When i used the root essentials to make adoptable storage on my 4c it needed to download and flash a zip from the recovery in order to work and it end up bootlooping my phone.
the good news is that i fixed my phone just by uninstalling xposed framework.

I would have to apologize, Xposed did not work as it should have so have not tried it again for a while.
Can't recall the name of the module
I definitely would not advise messing with adb unless you know what you're doing.
Maybe if you changed the default save location to the SD card, and transferred all media across?

not with this app, it corrupted my sd card and needed to format it manually, so when i did this i manually created two partitions the first is fat 32 for storage and the second is ext4 to link my apps there and it worked. the app i used to link the other apps is called "link2sd"
