Hi, I bought a 16GB sd card for the phone today and when I got home I loaded some music etc. onto the card via my laptops sd card reader.
I think isntalled it into the phone and everything worked great.
The problem is when I try to access the card via the phone I only have read access.
This is driving me crazy and I don't wanna have to remove the card every time to add to it.
I'm running Modaco's 2.2 Froyo rom.
Any help would be great.
Thanks.
Unfortunately, this is a bug with JP3 firmware. It annoys me too but I don't think anyone has come up with a fix yet.. :S
You could just flash another firmware, but personally I'm going to wait for the next froyo release. JP3 is quite nice otherwise.
THanks for the quick responce. Its good to know that it isn't me phone that is causing the problem. Hope it gets fixed in the next Rom.
Thanks again.
I have found a partial work around to this, assuming it's the same issue on my Froyo flashed SGS;
If you install Android Manager WiFi on your SGS, and the matching app on your PC you can transfer files to the External SD card. The only problem I've encountered is that you can only shift individual files, or blocks of files, but not nested structures (ie, your music arranged by artists in folders).

Hope that helps a little
I have SD card problems
I still have the 2.1 stock that came with my bell i9000m -- i rooted, RyanZa's lag fix and that's about it. No flashing. No keis firmware updates etc.
But a few times every day if I try to say attach a pic, or do something that requires the SD card, it says nothings there. I go into settings, and I see NOTHING in terms of SD card OR my external card (32gb)
Though after I reboot it's there.
But why does it keep disappearing ?
I have to reboot 4-5 times every day b/c these cards just randomly disappear.
How do I fix this ?
It may or may not be related. But after I installed JPC (after a bunch of other Firmwares) my bell i9000m ran as good as JPC runs on anyone elses phone.
Then I installed RyanZa's lagfix and instant Forcecloses, Reboot and eventually loss of both sd cards. I was able to recover and flash to a 2.1 rom but I did read (after I executed it) that the lagfix may not work well with JPC/2.2.
I am not saying anything bad about the ext3 lagfix but it I think it may have had a hand in corrupting/losing partitions on my i9000m along with other issues.
A lot of people with bell i9000m have had related SD problems though. And my girlfriends completely stock one is starting to have issue with freezes, fcs, and reboots.
Hello everyone, yesterday I changed my ROM from Simple Honey to Goatrip 1.9 (had to install jvh stock firmware first, then goatrip, then I installed Supercurio's kernel) and now i notice 2 things... All the apps that are installed on the phone is just missing after I reboot, if i move them to SD card that's ok... The odd thing is that when I install them again, their data are intact...
Is it a problem with the rom, the kernel, or with my phone?? Is there a way to auto-install apps into sd card?? There are some apps that can't be moved to sd card, like Whatsapp, what should I do??
Another thing I noticed is that the notification bar that stays on the top of the screen is missing too, i can only see it when the phone is locked...
Hi,
I just switched from ColdMOD Improvement v2.1 to Simply Honey 3.6.1 and having the same issue as you described.
I hope someone help & have answer to this.
Tnx.
As the title says, I have problem with my SGS GT-I9000 with transferring files to it.
Now, from beginning:
-my Pc: windows xp sp3
-my smartphone: SGS GT I9000
Onecosmics ICS port RC3.1 flashed with CWM 5
and with Pauls newest kernel ([Kernel]-GT-i9000_Galaxy_S-4.0.3.257134.zip) also flasheed through CWM
..I found few "bugs" in this port (no Facebook sync possibility, with contacts etc., compass seems to show incorrect position) but the main one and very fundamental is with mass storage mode. When I connect my phone to PC, it prompts me an option to connect my phone as mass storage like it did on Gingerbread 2.3.x ..when I successfully enable it, I can see through all folders and subfolders on my internal sd (16GB) and external sd (microSD 16GB) but when copy/paste for example some folder with a movie in it from my PC to either internal or external SD it shows me very slow download progress and a bit later on my PC error pops up, saying it can´t find specified folder or whatsoever and my phone freezes, so I have to hold power button for 8sec to restart it again.
What is interesting, when I boot my phone in CWM, and mount my SD to PC ..I can easily transfer files (eg. 4.6GB copied in 20min) ...for my external SD, I would have to take her out of my phone and place her into USB adapter to transfer files (and put it back in my phone again). This is very frustrating because I like this port very much, it´s fast and you get all the OC/UV LiveOC control, just perfect ..if I could only fix this.. If anyone can help I would be grateful.
Can anyone help?? please
..also, I found out that I can´t copy files in between internal and external sd card.
If I don´t solve this problem I´m afraid I´ll have to go back to Gingerbread until better and stable version comes out ..and I like ICS so much.

Thank you for your advice but I couldn´t wait and flashed back to gingerbread...until more similar (by some basic functions) version of ICS port comes out I´ll be on "old" GB ...
For example, I can watch movie (size 2.6GB) mkv, avi, mp4 ..where on ICS I can watch only mp4..
..and for mass storage I´ve read somewhere that even original Galaxy Nexus with ICS has some problems connecting with PC
Only thing I´m sorry now is because with ICS I could play FPS game with full graphics .. maybe I need to find some custom or stock (preferable) rom with kernel that supports LiveOC and use of NSTools .. ?

That's weird. I've been using my phone to watch movies a lot lately and it's been working great, subtitles and all (with bsplayer). My movies are .avi too. Gives an error doing it by hardware (think only diceplayer does this properly?) but it automatically changes for software rendering mode and works smoothly, no lags, nothing.
Using TeamICS RC3.1 with their own latest kernel and everything works as supposed to. Also, never had a problem copying from the internal to externalSD or the other way around... it is a bit slow, however, to do it from a computer with the usb cable (around 1mb/s) doesn't matter if it's to the internal or external, but i can live with that. I just remove and connect the card to the computer directly if i'm in a hurry.
However, if you're into GB again, i'd recommend you to try mintberry MIUI. Was the most complete rom i've ever used, used it for quite a while and have NOTHING bad to say about it, quite the opposite. And i use my phone A LOT.

I´ve read somewhere that you have to install galaxy nexus drivers on to your pc??
Is that correct? ..
damn, I don´t know what to do??
I WANT ICS but with this problem it´s hard to keep it on daily usage base...
if there is only a kernel (custom) that you can flash onto your stock gingerbread but that includes things like this:
-Voodoo sound
-Live OC, or at least OC/UV above 1.3GHz that is stable
..and I would be happy with GB.
Same here
I have the same problem, also with Onecosmics ICS port RC3.1.
Kernel 3.08-NEO-3.0-galaxys+telus-257114-g5c75537 (the default)
In my case, if I remove the external SD everything work fine, I can transfer files from mi PC to the internal SD (slow, but this is a Known bug). The problems come when I have the external SD (SanDisk 16Gb class 4) inside the phone.
When I mount the device in the Pc and try to access or copy anything in the internal or external SD it just freezes and I have to turn off the phone. It also freezes while unmounting the SD cards.
The external SD connected with a card reader works Ok in the PC and I can transfer and read files with no problem so I tried coping some pictures and when I placed back the SD card in the phone I could see the picture
copying files between internal and external sd also works fine in my device.
I though It might be that the external SD was broke but after I tried using it with a card reader and works OK I have no clue.
I think I'm going to try install a stock gingerbread and star all over again.

That is solved in RC4 (pulled one) ..but it had some other bugs..
I´ve flashed a couple hours ago Teamhackungs ICS build 15 with Devil kernel v.14.2 ...and so far it´s very good, OCed to 1.4GHz..didn´t found any problems that would bug me..except for sending text messages (I was unable to send SMS) ..and so I´ve instaled GoSMS from market and in settings I wrote customized SMSC number -->problem solved.
-no mass storage transfer files problem (its very fast) ..also you can have mounted external SD too..
-flash in browser works
-I´ve gave up from facebook on my device because it uses up to 60MB of RAM (that´s why I use it in browser)
I started from 0.
First i went back to the stock 2.3.6 version, both external and internal SD works perfect.
After that, i flashed to a new kernel "hardcore's kernel with the ClockworkMod Recovery" following the cyanogenmod wiki
With the CW I installed the RC 4.1.
After that, I still have the same problems. I realised that I have no problem listening music from the external SD or transferring files between internal and external SD with the phone, my problem is always mounting the phone in the PC that crashes after a couple of minutes, no mater if is in Windows, OS X or Linux.
I'm going to install now the RC 4.2 but apparently the SD problems were fixed with an older release so I don't know what else to try.
Been using the ExtSd2InternalSd Mod for a while now, installed on a fresh ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2180733
All of sudden the phone has started popping up an alert.
Been getting nagged all day now now to transfer data, saying my memory is used up, but it isn't!
How does one go about disabling or fixing this problem?
