Anthony, 30 Jun 2015That is correct.
Both in kitkat and lollipop on any phone ... morefollow up....
in KitKat EXT SD...
To move a pictures/ videos you have to use the gallery app
to move music you have to use the music player
to set downloads to go to the EXT SD you have to set it in the download app and use the download app to delete it if you need to.
basically any write action to the EXT SD outside of an app/android / data folder you would have to find a HTC ROM app to do it or connect to a PC and use file explorer on the PC to make the changes. it's an OS security thing, not a bug. and the only way to undo it is to root your phone and grant apps full access. festively leaving your phone open to attacks.

Anyemi, 30 Jun 2015So by your previous comments, can i assume that kitkiat on ... moreThat is correct.
Both in kitkat and lollipop on any phone (not just HTC)
3rd party apps are restricted from writing/editing and deleting files from the EXT SD card. it a security thing google implemented, where all 3rd part apps must make their own data storage folder inside the EXT SD/Android/data folder if they want to save files to the EXT SD.
and only the 3rd party app that made the folder can edit the data in it, on other 3rd party app can.
that was google's way of preventing malicious apps you download from messing with your files on the EXT SD. apps that come with the ROM still have full write access. that is why it is so important that the ONE MAX has a file manager that comes as part of the ROM in Lollipop. (something that is missing in Kitkat.)

Anyemi, 28 Jun 2015Why are most people still in a hurry to update to lollipop ... moreyou should know that the lollipop on the one max is 5.0.2, not the 5.0 that are on phones that got lollipop last year or 5.0.1 that the M8 got earlier this year.
it has the 3rd release of lollipop
so please don't read about bugs on other phones and think the ONE MAX will have the same bugs. it's not running the same version of lollipop.

things I have seen added in lollipop on the one max that i didn't know was there from reading reviews.....
1. the volume control got a Priority mode added to it.
which has toggels in its settings for events, calls messages and from settings/sound & notifications/interruptions/app notifications you can add individual apps to the bypass list.
2. after being on the charger for some time. the lock screen notification for charging not only tells you your % but it also tells you how must time is left to get a full charge.
3. there are more options for lock screen notifications in sound & notification
4. the app switcher has to modes you can pick from. Card view & Grid view (grid view now has multiple pages.)
if anyone found any more, i would like to know about them, as the FAQ tab in the Tips & help app is not updated to Android 5.0.2 as yet

Anthony, 29 Jun 2015Sense 6 update comes with the kitkat update.
The issue I h... morefollow up.
1. if you are still on jelly bean and want to keep your 100% freedom of app & file manager write access to the EXT SD card (DON'T update..... stay on jelly bean)
2. if you can live with the limited write access to the EXT SD card by apps and full write access from the NEW default file manager. by all means upgrade to lollipop.
3. kitkat is the lamest version of android the ONE MAX has had so far. (not that it was buggy, just that the new security restriction really limited the full potential of this phone.)

The issue I had with the kitkat update is it removed write access to the external SD card by download file managers.
Only apps that have ext SD write in there settings could write to the EXT SD.
Eg. Voice recorder, camera, internet download, email, sms, gallery.
With the introduction of lollipop to the ONE MAX there is now a default HTC file manager which with give you full write access to the ext SD once again.
Note:
1. you will not get the lollipop update notification until you update to kitkat.
2.Some models get 2 kitkat updates. First with sense 5.5 then with sense 6.

For those of you that don't like the rollerdex app switcher in lollipop, you can go back to the tiles (and there are multiple pages for app switchin)
When in the app switcher just tap on menu, settings. An you will see the layout options in there.
