No sd-card support in android 4.4?

erlingba — Mon, 09 Jun 2014 18:41:20 GMT

I have an Sony Xperia ZR which got an kitkat-update a few days ago.

Everything seems fine except that Spotify no longer stores downloaded songs on the sd-card.

The phone has only 4,6GB internal available memory, and around 1GB after I've installed the apps I use, so unless I can use my 64GB card for offline songs it is quite useless.

Is it possible to fix this, or is the only solution to downgrade to android 4.3?

There's an open escalation with spotify at the moment on this. In the meantime, the solution would be to root the phone but, hopefully we'll have more news soon.

Thanks!

I have rooted earlier phones, but I think it demanded a bit too much time, so I hoped i would not have to root this one.

After this update Google has practically rendered all phones with small internal memory useless.

A lot of my apps use a lot of storage, so now i have to delete and be careful to not download more than needed.
