i can't save files on external memory

Morris_on — Fri, 21 Nov 2014 23:35:49 GMT

Hi

I have updated my T2 Ultra with pc companion a few days ago, and now i can't save, move or delete any files on the external memory (downloaded videos, photos or documents), before the update it was possible to manage files in the micro sd with any file Explorer but now only appears a message saying the application doesn't have permisivos to writing or something like that.

Any information about fixing this issue?

Thanks uliwooly, but thereisn't any files browser preinstalled, i was using 7ziper 2.0 that had been working very well for me until the update. In fact no application is allowed to save anything in the micro sd(opera, tubemate,etc)

It is cause Android versión (4.4.3 kit kat)? Or a bad update?

First of all thanks to uliwooly, the link of instructables save me, ive been searching for that answer for months, its partial but give me some way to move files to my micro SD card.
Second. a dont now why every body is saying that the problem is a google restriction, my brother have a moto g with external card running on kit kat and this "google restriction" is not in that phone, so someone are not doing very well his job.

sorry about my english is not my first language.

@sajucelo

It is a google restriction but some companies are implementing other features.

@uliwooly

thanks for your answer, maybe Sony should implement that, im a mid range user phone and this phone (t2 ultra) is a step after to buy a high level smartphone, i think it is important make phones that have the best of other companies, its just my toughs.

Just one question for you @uliwooly do you know if under lollipop this restriction continue? Greetings
