Hello everyone

I have an HTC Sensation XE running on viper's 5.2.1
My phone got smashed,throwed at wall,floor, and everyplace u could think of and dropped in water
But it's still alive(even though there are no volume button,screen cracked but functional and most of all
I'm unable to insert my microsd card in(i can INSERT it,but nothing shows up on phone)
So i've been searching on google,forums and everywhere else to look
But found NOTHING.
So, can anyone please tell me how to use my INTERNAL memory space(about 1gb) for photos,videos and music
Instead of just apps(can't even download pictures on whatsapp)

P.S. i'm very poor T-T so anyone who says buy a new phone or repair the current one
I will *******************************************(i've put stars here,'cause i'm pretty sure i'll get banned if i actually curse >^-^< )

The bottom line is you can't. If your USB port still works you could look into having a non-powered USB otg cable connected to a USB thumb stick, but even then your ROM would need to be configured to think that the storage was an sdcard.

Sorry bud.

found a solution... well sort of

After some time playing around with my phone i finally found out how to do it...
But unfortunately NOT COMPLETELY do it
Now i can download media except that i have to use only one app for everthing
Even for playing those media files(to play a photo, music or video, have to go play them in ES)
ES File explorer(maybe other file explorers work, but i didn't try them)
Needs root access(of course since i'm forcing it to do something it's not supposed to do)
All i had to is make a folder in the data folder(maybe somewhere else works)
/data/download
changed the folder properties (check all boxes read&write...etc)
And go to directory settings to change download path to /data/download
And the go to download manager setting and enable multi thread

Now i can download anything through the web
But can't make apps download media(whatsapp...etc) to the internal storage(will try to figure this out)
