Moving Apps from Internal Storage to SD Card (#Huawei)

20 Apr

**Author is not responsible for anything that results from you testing these steps.  This is not guaranteed to work nor is it from a ‘phone professional.’  I just bought an SD card and spent hours trying to figure out how to move things because the internet was generally unhelpful. This is what worked for me.  If you are at all concerned about the risk, ask a professional phone person to help you.  

Step 1 – Setting up SD Card

  1. Plug the SD card into your phone. 
  2. Go to “Settings”
  3. At the bottom go to “Advanced Settings”
  4. Go to “Memory & Storage”
  5. Under “portable storage” click “SD card” 
  6. Click “Format” if is possible. 
  7. Go back to Memory & Storage
  8. Click “Default Location” 
  9. Choose SD Card. 
  10. The phone will restart and new things will go into the SD card from now on. 

Step 2 – Moving Apps from Internal Storage to SD Card

  1. Go to “Settings”
  2. Go to “Apps”
  3. Click on the App you want to move.
  4. Click “Storage.”  You’ll now see a line at the top that says “Storage Used      Internal Storage”
  5. If it can be moved below that line should be a button “Change”
  6. Click “Change 
  7. Choose “SD Card”
  8. Click “Move”
  9. You’ve done it!

SD Memory Card Locked

12 Nov

I’ve run into this problem several times with photographers (particularly amateur with the little cameras), although I’m sure other people have had the same problem.  You plug in your SD Memory Card and it says something like “Memory Card Locked” or “Memory Card Unavailable.”  Don’t freak–your card isn’t necessarily unrecoverable!

If you look at the picture of the card above, note the notch on the left side. If you look carefully, you’ll see a part that’s a light grey.  You can see it more clearly in this picture.

What you may not know is that this is a little button–it slides up and down. And it is what locks up a memory card.  Basically it’s a key that protects your information from being hurt, so it locks the information down. You cannot access it, and you cannot change it.  Unfortunately, this is going to bring up error messages when you plug the card in. This is especially an issue for photographers who frequently pull the cards in and out of the camera. A lot of times, you’ll accidentally trigger this little button without realizing 

All You Have To Do Is Re-Click The Button.  

That’s it. Real Simple, no hassle, no computer-wizards necessary.  🙂
