Android was updated to version 4.4 KitKat where multiple bring performance improvements and some other update some system application. Although some of these new features have not come to light until more devices have received KitKat.
KitKat does not allow applications to write in our SD
So far, the devices that can be installed officially the candy bar are Google Nexus Moto range and recently the HTC One But as these devices have microSD card slot , until you have no filter or released versions for other models, such as the Galaxy Note III, we have not been able to account for a very important detail. KitKat continues to write applications in our SD card. This means that if you download files using an application, it must be stored in the internal memory phone in a subfolder within the application itself. In short, the SD reports only serve to traspasemos multimedia content from a computer.
In more technical terms, which means this new feature is that each application can only write to its own directory / Android / data / paquete.de.aplicación . So effectively, if you only have permission to write here, you can not do it on the external SD .
This news is a blow to many users. Many of the users have their smartphone like a second personal computer . Downloading documents, movies and music stored on your SD card. But what now will make all files created or downloaded go to your internal Memory. These users will be forced to take two options, or download files or install applications and have more space for your downloads.
the reason that Google has pushed this decision is unknown, do you want to serve only our SD media ?, Google wants our personal information is inaccessible by any application and so strengthen security of Android?. Google has not yet given its decision not know if this change is permanent or complaints forced to delete users in future updates.
developers root will not stay arms folded
something we do not like our Android will always have the possibility of changing thanks to certain applications root . What does this mean?, Which would not surprise me that developers specialized root applications, after knowing this, not to stay unemployed. Any application will skip this block and allow other applications to store what you download on the external SD is launched. It would be the salvation for many users, that certainly. But also leave out the majority of users who neither know nor want to have the knowledge to rooting your phone.
In my opinion, I think this “improvement” of Android 4.4 KitKat is not much improvement. Although I have a device with no SD slot, I understand that some many users who do have (especially Samsung) they like to store a lot of content, and content not only static, but also apps, as in the present case and which would be affected.
is why I see well that prohibits Android applications write to the external SD card . If you have an external SD is to use it as you want and is not Google who impose standards that already apply their Nexus, for that there are other brands and options. Hopefully the main affected, which is Samsung, can resolve soon.
And you, what do you think about this “new” feature that has come to light KitKat?, comentad below.
