Hi, I'm new here. I've spend hours on the internet trying to search for my problem, but to no avail.
I'm using Sony Tablet S, but I suspect that this problem isn't device-specific. After a recent upgrade to Android 4.0.3, I can no longer modify or delete files from the /mnt/sdcard2 directory, which is where the external SD card slot is mounted. After checking the properties with the ES Explorer, I found that the /mnt/sdcard2 directory does not have write permission, and only has read permission. In contrast, the /mnt/sdcard directory, which is the internal storage, does have the write permission and is working properly. But, when I checked the directory permissions in an app called "Terminal IDE", both /mnt/sdcard and /mnt/sdcard2 directories appear to have the same permission, both 'd---rwxr-x'. So clearly there is a discrepancy between what Terminal IDE thinks a directory's permissions are, and what ES Explorer thinks the permissions are. Why is that?
I have another question. How does one change the directory permissions on Android? If I can do that then maybe /mnt/sdcard2 will start working again.
Thank you very much in advance for your help!
