Z1 doesn't allow accesing SD card files for delete/rename/copy & etc...

[akaii]

My sony Xperia Z1 is upgraded to latest 4.4.2 android with build number 14.3.A.0.757 in my wifi network.

Since that i can't copy, delete, rename files with any file manager i have on it.:smileysad:

Also WhatsApp application can't access sd and restore my conversation backup:smileycry:

Anyone can help me?:smileybroken_heart:

You can use only file commander to access/move media to SD.

Yeah, get this! It's "by design" !

What ..! Wasn't warned, this is ridiculous, and now things just don't work that used to before. Can't even begin to imagine the rationale behind this, one restriction that I can't see serving any purpose. So many apps and uses I have for this phone now are now useless and I need to rethink how to go about it all.

**bleep** sake, I might has well have stayed with Apple !
