Xperia Z2 SD card issue

poison15ivy — Mon, 04 Aug 2014 13:30:41 GMT

Hello, I just recently purchased brand new Sony Xperia Z2 (mobile phone), opened it and found out that it's USELESS BRICK !!!

I have only internal memory to use, and SD card can not be used at all, I can download something or take picture, but it is not possible to rename, delete nor move it from the phone, the only way to do ANY at all crap with this so called new phone is when I safely remove SD card and connect it to PC, this lasts now over 5 months !!!
WHEN WILL THIS FINALLY BE FIXED ???

Hi, firstly does the Z2 recognise/show your SD card in Settings-Storage.....anything you take be it a picture etc should be able to be transferred to your SD card.....Settings-Storage-scroll down to Transfer data to SD card...have you tried this already???

This is Kitkat,nothing to do.Apps can write only in their own directories.File commander will allow you to move files around.

This is not something wrong in the phone!

It's KitKat! In Android 4.4 you can't use SD card as it was earlier in other versions!!

You can still take photos directly to the external memory by changing the setting in camera, where to save!

Don't call it a USELESS BRICK without knowing anything like that! This is the best phone available in the market right now!

Yes please educate yourself before you refer to the Z2 as a "useless brick". Bricks have many uses, they can make walls, make buildings and can even stop your car rolling down a hill if the handbrake doesn't work. Please do not be so insulting to bricks.

A brick works perfectly in direct sunlight, doesn't overheat and is 100% waterproof even in salt water.

I'm having the same problem... Can't write nothing to SD card (Samsung ultra SDHC 16gb). There's something new about this issue??

If you want your problem fixed, start a new thread on Samsung's website. Asking how to fix a Samsung on the Sony website doesn't make much sence

No....if you want to be able to transfer your Apps to your SD Card speak to Google as it is their restrictions that cause this
