HTC One M8 - Unabkle to save to SD card

[garyc]

I have read about a number of contributors not being able to do this

Having tried all the options suggested -it appears the spotify app on my phone simply has a serious allergic reaction to my ad card

HTC One M8
16gb with 1gb free
32gb sd card with , formatted and with about 29gb free
I can and already have moved some apps to the card so I know s it works ok

I have tried removing app, unmounting, clearing cache, reformatting and in different sequence but to no avail

Has anyone out there solved this problem on the new HTC One M8

@jwylot Your suggestion per the linked post has worked for me, too. HTC 1 M8 with a SanDisk card, so it's obviously effective.

I'm getting this issue on my Motorola Moto E too, none of the suggestions I have read has worked.

It would help if you could detail what you tried but can you just post the free space shown for internal storage and external SD card.

I have tried:

1. Clearing cache, uninstall and resinstalling,
2. Log out, Setting download qualtiy to extreme, log back in.
3. Clearing the cache,uninstall, delete files, power off, reinstall

My SD card is blank and 16GB, my internal card is half full and only 4GB.

Thanks for any help.

@jwylot has linked above to the solution he tried, and it worked for me. In summary:

1. Clear cache;

2. Uninstall app;

3. Delete Spotify folder from phone via computer;

4. Reformat SD card; and

5. Reinstall app.

Looks like you may have skipped formatting the card @elgdav123 . That may be the missing step.

Amazing @jwylot, this appears to be the issue, thanks so much.

I'm fairly sure I hadn't seen that step detailed but nevermind.

Thanks again!

I'm glad it worked for you too 🙂

Interestingly there is a misleading visualization in the Android Storage screen. There is a graph displayed which should give and indication of internal storage usage based on the levels used in Apps, Pictures, Music etc. The Apps value is (probably incorrectly) including data stored in the SD card and so the graph of internal usage is incorrect. Mine currently looks like I have overfilled my internal storage, when in fact I have 1.75GB free.

I've seen this mentioned before. The visualisation on my Note 3 is fine so I wonder if android gets confused on phones which also have an "internal SD card"?

Hi I have the international version of HTC One M8 and I do not have Spotify on the Phone. I have a class 10 64 GB sd card if I follow this procedure minus removing the cache and mounting the card before I start will it work on this version of my phone. Thanks Altstart

[Joe]

Yes, it should be fine 🙂

[Altstart]

Yes it did work but to access my music seems to be impossible useing Spotify. I have not used this app before and I have no objection paying for the premium edition but I need to know the App will let me access the files in the format that they were saved in ie albums. At the moment the only access is via the phone player and this presents the individual tracks in alphabetical order with no album deliniation just a mess.

Thanks for the help

The adding of local files (music you own) hasn/t been incorporated in Your Music yet. You can add them but it gets very messy. Put your local files in playlists for now and synch those to your phone or, do as I do and use another music player for your MP3s until they have made it possible to add them to Your Music.

Instructions on how to synch local files are here If you wish to discuss this more, could you start a new thread as this is somewhat off-topic?.

With marshmallow you should be able to 'format SD card as internal' reinstall Spotify and the SD card will be used
