Hello and thanks for reading. This being my first android im a bit confused as to how the storage works. From what I can tell I have Internal phone storage of 1.66GB , Internal SD of 13.03GB and external SD of 1.84GB. Now I know the External SD is the one i placed into the phone. I recently did a factory reset and re-formated the external sd.
The problem im having is when trying to place pictures, music, ect onto the external SD card there is no files whatsoever. So I have no idea where to place the files. Also with the internal sd and phone storage I have no idea what files are needed and what ones are left over from apps ect I previously uninstalled. So does anyone know what files are supposed to be on the external sd and what files must be on the internal/phone storage? Thanks in advance.
Ok so i just changed the camera option to save on SD card...took a random pic, and the DCIM file was created. Still would like to know what the default files are on the internal and phone storage if anyone can help. Thanks.
It doesn't really matter where you place them, media scanner will pick them up.
I'm trying to transfer some files into my phone external sdcard from pc. Whenever i do that my phone keep shutting off and i'm unable to finish the transfer. Anyone know what the cause behind this? Phone is rooted and using the latest stock froyo
well just found out i can't fully format my sdcard. There is a file in there thats named {12231-1241235-123123}.jpg sorta like a window registry file. Everytime i tried format the card it'll be empty but when i remount it again in the phone. That file and couple other files reappear again. Does that mean my microSD card is corrupted?
Try to format it on a windows XP computer, if you didn't do this before.
i don't think your microSD is corrupted, otherwise you could never have seen that file.
I recently had MobileTechVideos repair my Galaxy Tab 7 by remapping the internal memory to the external SD card. They were very professional and did a great job in restoring my tab to a functioning unit. The only issue I have is that now when I plug the device into my computer to transfer files, it says it needs to be formatted. So far I have only been able to transfer files via wifi, which for a 2gb movie takes forever. Is there something I need to do in order to transfer files to and from my SD card? Thanks in advance.
Hey all. I want to make a backup of my internal SD before doing a full wipe.
However, files don't copy properly, or at all. When I try to copy all of my Internal SD card, it freezes on "Calculating time for transferring files" for a while. Even when it starts transferring files, it just stops after a short while, no error messages, nothing - Just barely any files transferred at all and that's it.
I tried copying folder by folder, maybe there's a problem with a specific file, but it occurs just the same most of the time. I tried to copy a folder that's just 57MB, it only created the folder on the HDD and one subfolder, and that's it.
I'm running ROMAUR V7.0. USB transfer mode is MTP (Internal SD is not recognized when it's MSC).

Nope, that's not the issue. My External SD card is just fine, the problem is with the internal SD, which is to say the internal storage. It's not corrupted or anything, otherwise the phone wouldn't work properly.

well pc companion/ flashtool see if it fix the problem make sure you backup
which folder is it failing on?
No specific pattern, I can't tell...
I tried reflashing 4.2.2 Kernel, I'll test it now if it might have fixed the issue.
EDIT: Nope, problem persists. No idea what's going on. I'll see if I can bypass it by clearing some space on the external SD and use Root Explorer to copy all the contents to it. Maybe from the External SD there won't be any problem.
Can anyone help me? I cant copy or move files from my sd card. Even if I connect my phone to pc or mac I can't transfer anything. I can't save pictures either with the camera app if I choose to save it on my sd card. However, I can still view my files or photos from my sd card, it's just that I can't do anything with it right now other than 'reading' it.
