Hey, can someone help me. My sd card slot is broken and doesn't work but i do have 4 gigs of memory in phone.. but every time i try to download something from the web it says Sd not found or not enough memory even though i have like 2 gig of space left in my phone's memory. so does any one know how to change the default download location to the phone not the sd card ??:thinking:

Can you plz be more specific.. there is download manager but i don't see a setting for that. When i paste the url in the download manager it says error no sd card. so can you tell me step by step where i should go because i didn't find a download manager setting or change location option. So plz be more specific.

Download the app called es file explorer. Menu button > settings > directory settings > download path. Set to /data/media/* next time you go to download something in chrome, pick es file manager to download it instead.

Sry for late reply but it worked perfectly thankyou verymuch.. but like you said to set it to ./data/media.. i found data but not media inside it .. so i chose /device which also seem to work. tell me if thats wrong/bad. [ Also when i downloaded minecraft, my world wont save for some reason, any idea why]
