Internal and externa Sd issues - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, this is my firt post and i need help!
Now when i connect in kies mode the phone keeps mounting and unmouting the Sd cards! and hangs in starting,doesnt get recognised by keys. This issues only occurs in kies mode and not in mass storage. Could it be related to kies, the usb port or phone?
Thanks

Ok, I've tested in another pc and it does the same: keeps mounting and unmouting both sd cards and stays in starting to kies without connect to kies... So i thinks it's not kies itself or usb ports... Is there anything wrong with the phone or it's something i installed to? (before the problems it disconnected by mistake from kies then I got a damaged internal sd card info and external sd card corruption, but both are working fine and I didn't get that notification anymore...). What can i do? Shall a format solve this?
Formated the internal sd and nothing... but wait... removed the external sd card and voilá! it now works!!!

Odd. I know there's a bug in kies that won't let you connect if you have media files with more then 16 letters. That could be reason. Check your files and rename them. Also do a format the SD car dwith your phone in settings. Unmount then format. That should also help

Ok, it's doing the same again, with or without external sd... So i realy don't know what's appening!

Be sure to use the latest kies , it's a kies bug , but i am prety sure that the latest one has it fixed .

[Q] External SD card not visible on PC Voodoo-stable-5.1-Froyo-2.2.1

Hello,
I can not see the external sd card on my windows PC.
I can see the internal sd card as a drive and i have read write access on my win PC (XP/ prof and win7 prof)
I can see the external sd card as a drive but cannot see any files or folders.
connected USB cabel
select mass storage device
not possible to connect USB to PC via dialog (no notification is vissible in notification bar)
reconnect usb cable
Now it is possibel to connect USB to PC via upcoming dialog on phoneselect mass storage device Message box comes up telling that some apps may not work because they have access to sd card
After disconnecting the phone from PC I cannot access the external SD card on my phone until reboot of phone.
I can access the the external sd card using a card reader on my PC.
I think I got these problems since flashing Voodoo-stable-5.1-Froyo-2.2.1-GT-I9000
Firmware Version 2.2
Baseband I9000XXJPP
Kernel 2.6.32.9
I tried to format the sd card with the phone - no changes.
Best regards and thanks in advance O
I have the exact same problem, when I connect with usb cable to my win 7 x64 system using the mass storage option, at first I do not connect at all, then I have to remove the usb cable once, after that I can connect but only see the sd card on the phone itself, the external sd card is invisible.
When I remove the usb cable I am also unable to see the external sd card on the phone itself and I have to restart my phone in order to see it again.
My proplem is solved. By error I installed the voodoo 5.1. on Froyo 2.2 . But it should have been installed on Froyo 2.2.1 as mentioned in the filename of the zip file. I thought froyo 2.2.1 is included in the voodoo update.

Updated to 11.04.24 and the problem is the same. I think the problem is from my sd card....
Help guys
Try inserting the sdcard directly in your computer (that are usb dongles that can do it for you if your computer do not have a sd card reader) and check the sd. I would recommend you to backup your sd and format it again. This is just not normal. Have you checked if your rom was properly flashed, without errors?

I have inserted the sd directly in my computer and is just ok. Work without any problem. I have formated sd a few times till now, but the result is the same...but only with CM ROM. If i will flash any other rom, there is no problem with my sd....i really don't get it what i did wrong...:-??

Internal SD card trouble

I just flashed serendipity 6.4 and it runs very very well. However since flashing, my pc has not recognized my internal SD card. The external sd card immediately pops up when connected. I can't access it from my pc at all, but when just on my phone, I can browse the file in astro. I already tried changing the it to mass storage in the usb settings. Any tips?
Check to make sure its mounted.
Settings>sd card and storage> internal sd
Thats the only thing I got.

If the above doesn't work, go into recovery and try and mount SD cards from there and see what it does. If it still doesnt mount flash to stock and get it warranty replaced
Im gonna try flashing back to stock and see if it recognizes. It should... hopefully. thanks
Next time, post in the ROM-specific sticky if your question is related to a certain ROM.

[Q] SOLVED: Connecting with USB shows only internal memorycard...

HI!
I have this problem that when I turn on the file sharing, the computer shows only internal memory card and not the external. Because the phone itself recognizes the external card I have tried to unmount and mount several times without any improvement. I am currently using the latest CM7 nightly, but the problem seemes to have started after I changed the card from 4gb to 16 gb. Any ideas?
EDIT: Erasing sd card from the phones menu helped to solve the problem.
Go Setting>Storage and remount your sd card and try???
I've done that several times....no help... android system accesses the card without problems...music, pics etc.
Did you physically remove your card and reinsert it, or just software remount?
Have you tried the card directly in your computer?
Have a look in windows device manager and see if it reports any problems. (right
click my computer and select manage)
I have tried it all and everything is ok with the sd card itself (I copied recent nightly from the computer on the sd card) also recovery recognizes is... there are also no problems in device manager...
Try to put on debugging mode. And try it with debugging mode on.
If the debugging mode is on try to take it off.

I tried that also and nothing changed.... I have a feeling that it is somehow attached to me using mybackup pro... I restored application apk and data from another phone to this one and It seems that usually the application data should go to internal memory card. In this case it is on external card... so i believe that somehow the programs are still using the card when connected and do not allow phone to share it out... It's just a guess though...
EDIT: so I think the solution is to wipe everything and start all over again
So I fresh installed Rom and wiped everything and the problem still exist... still can see files with file managers in phone and when connected to computer, autorun shows only internal card...
Edit: I tried now 2gb sized sdcard and it works perfectly... the problem is with 16gb card.
Weird. Did you try another USB-port?
I tried different USB-s now and still same I found out that when I connect the phone, under my computer appears two removable disks.... if I turn on the usb connection, only one transforms to usable removable disk (internal) and the other one asks to insert the removable disk. I used the same sd card on my HTC desire with CM nightlies and it worked perfectly... could it be CM-s bug?
Sorry to ask (maby the obvious)
On Your phone.. using your filemanager (Root explorer astro or what-ever..)
Browse to sdcard
Do you have a folder called _externalSD?
On this phone, for some reason the external SD is not mounted under./ but as i said under ./sdcard/ (i.e its mounted under the internal SD card..)
Just a thought
Where the different cards are mounted doesn't make any difference. And as he said, it works with other cards (2GB and 4GB).
CyanogenMOD mounts internal card as /mnt/emmc, and external card as /mnt/sdcard by default.
When turning on USB storage, both cards should be unmounted and shared over USB.
Hi, I had the same problem with mine, and as you said in one of your previous posts, I had to do a format through the phone and as soon as I did that I was good to go.
I did use the same memory card in my old hero so this might have something to do with it... I'm not sure.
By formatting do you mean from the menu Erase SD card? On the desire I actually had the formatting request from the computer, but there was another problem (some of the rom's files were on the sdcards ext or something and I had no access to the card from the USB).... kind of a similar problem if I think back now but after changing to CM, the problem disappeared.
I forgot to mention I am running completely stock rom and unrooted (for the time being) and there is just an option under sd card & phone storage setting to format external sd card
After erasing the sd card from the phone, the computer recognized it i'm currently copying stuff back and i'm pretty sure it does not affect the recognition
I faced the same problem. I had Swapper2 on my NC, and after I uninstalled it (and cleared the data of Swapper2, just in case) everything went to normal back again.
^ a solution.

Press thanks if this helps
Does it read in a PC?
If so copy contents off onto PC, reformat SD card as FAT32, then copy contents back over.
Try to format the card on your PC.

I've got the card formatted on my friends phone and then gave it an shot... however it still didn't work... Not sure what else can be done... any other card works fine...
What company and class is your sd card?
same problem.
I've had the same problem. It seems to occur when you disconnect the USB cable from you're phone while files are being transferred. Though I've also had this problem multiple times when the USB cable wasn't even connected to my phone.
You can try to use a microSD-to-usb-converter to backup the files and format it with 'SD Formatter 3.0' from sdcard.org (I'm not permitted to post links yet). Then try to format the microSD again with you're phone and it should work. I recommend you don't put any backupped files back on your microSD since they could have corrupted the microSDcard's filesystem.
