Xperia V sd card storage issues

Hi, I have this problem, I can't save anything in my sd card, everything goes to the internal storage... What can I do?

Or is it because the card is broken or corrupted??

That is because Xperia V use the internal sdcard storage as default. Most of the apps don't have a choice for you to pick your actual storage, they simply save to the default storage which is the internal stroage (named as sdcard). Therefore your REAL sdcard will only be able to hold photos, videos & music.

If you want to use your REAL sdcard to hold large sized video, photos & other files you have to use some file explorer apps.

I hope Sony can come up with a solution to let user choose their default storage location at system level.
