Additional Storage: /mnt/emmc "Total/Available Space: unavailable" Help! - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The above information is what I get under Settings>Storage. My SDcard and Internal storage are fine, "Additional Storage" is the issue. From googling around, this would be my emmc (internal SDcard/embedded mmc) but it's not showing.
I'm currently running CM7, coming off stock>Miui, but I had the same issue. I have flashed many roms over the past year, and I honestly couldn't tell you when this happened... I just recently noticed. I've googled around and haven't found what I'm looking for. Any help would be appreciated.

I have the same exact problem. SD card works in other devices, but not my phone.

Nobody has a clue as to why I'm having this issue? I find it it odd that it's apparently just me...

The additional storage is your external SD card. How big is the card? It seems like most people are unable to get anything larger than a 16 gig card working.

Well that's obviously not it. If you go to settings / cyanogenmod settings / applications menu, is "Use Internal Storage" checked? I know this monkeys around with the way your storage is used, but I'm not entirely sure how. I'll poke around and see what I can come up with.

That just swaps what is recognised as the emmc SD and the main SD. It does nothing for me.

You need to check your sdcard on a PC to see if you nerfed it or not.
You can easily nerf your sdcard by not unmounting it before removing it from your phone.
And yes... Please,, if you have an issue, dont start spamming random threads, its not very becoming..

[Q] 3 Storage areas????

ok so this is a simple question i know but conflicting topics have made me post this
i have 1gb system memory
5gb phone memory
29gb of sdcard space
So in short.... WHY CANT I MOVE ANYTHING TO MY ext_SD(the removable one) CARD I HAVE A CLASS 10 32GB SD CARD IM NOT ABLE TO UTILIZE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*UPDATE EDIT=So looks like the culprit is yet again a phone company making mods to android
+1 to Close the open source!! and go back to google phones.. LG, MOTO, HTC, they all just bloat the sh** out of the phone and take away the modding capabilities
so if anyone has any advice on how or what i can move to my 32GB Ext_SD card... please let me know
I have no problem moving all as compatible apps to the as card. Some apps just don't have that option though.

Some of the games and such are adapted to save on sdcard
Look through o3d forum

OK, I have a quasi solution for you I just thought about. /sdcard is internal and /sdcard/_ExternalSD/ is the your transflash card. Most apps are made to save data to /sdcard which does become an issue when some of the kickass games like shadowgun download 250MB plus of data plus all of your roms and media. What you could do, I gather, is move the directories like those game data directories to /sdcard/_ExternalSD/ and then crate a symlink to it with the same name in sdcard. It's probably what I'LLC do when this last GB is gone, lol.

That's a good idea just put them in the extra SD through the computer or if I can move it with astro maybe ill try that
Hopefully at least I can move my roms since they are the biggest space taker

No, he's talking about the external SD card...as in the card that you can pull out that stores your pictures and videos on. When you move an application on this phone to the SD card, it actually moves it to internal SD application storage. This is my second thrill and neither will move apps to the external SD card.
When you click on apps2sd app and move an app watch and see that your external SD card memory doesn't change at all.
You can edit vold.fstab to,switch how the cards are used

Okay. Continue. I'm listening.
I have a 32 gig SD card I bought specifically to be able to move a ton of apps there. I haven't been able to do so and would love to rather than being limited to the 8 gigs on the phone.
Hope this helps

That method did not work, did not even recognize my sd card ("internal" or "external")
I can post that file when I get home tonight and see if anyone can get them edited.
Okay. Just tell me if I'm wrong. What I'm referring to and what I think the OP was referring to was that external SD card that you buy at the store where you store your music and pictures on. The SanDisk.
The other storage is internal storage, then there's system memory.
Cm7 fixes this.

APP2SD write to External SD

Is there an application that will allow you to move applications to your EXTERNAL SD card. as the internal card fills up very fast. I wish i knew a developer to make an application that you could use to choose what SD card you want to move the application to.
Anyone know of a way please let me know
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
how many apps do you have installed to fill up the 1GB for apps let alone the 12GB storage.
You might want to email one of the deva on the market that have made a app2sd app it would be a very simple modification.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I know it is simple that is why i can't believe you can't do it already. But i think it would be for us ROOT users only. But i am not sure.
It is just sad that apps can't be moved to External SD and that it is only for media

Well i emailed the developer they say that there is nothing anybody can do except Google

Why? What do you want to do?
Just so use to have to storage locations that's all figured split it in half
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
It's probably possible. Not sure if it would be possible for the phone to read both partitions though.

I'm wondering if it already is. If there's pictures on my phone, and I need to reflash it, I would hope they would be saved to another partition so that I don't have to go through and back up all the stuff I want to keep.

There's a difference between the internal memory partition and the emmc. On my wife's NS4G it's the same. Anything on the emmc is not touched and the internal memory is flashed over.

So then there are 2 different storage points in the device, or the main storage is partitioned to be 2? If that's the case, then we should have access to all 32GB of storage, right? I'm pretty sure I'm wrong though.

According to pdadb.net the Sprint 32gb has 2gb of RAM and 29.7gb ROM. I bet around 4gb of that is for OS and Data and the remaining 25gb is accessible as storage.
I've got at least 16gb of music now on my 32gb SD and with backups, ROMs, and pictures have about 2-4gb available at anytime. My photos auto upload to Dropbox so I will probably get in that habit for other files.
I think with Google Play you can stream your cloud stored music to your phone. Does anyone know if there is a way to do that with the HTC Music player in Sense 5?

Probably not through the Music Player on Sense, but I use Google Play Music frequently. I've uploaded all of the music I have to it, and stream everything from there. Really the only stuff I have on my phone otherwise is pictures and a couple movies. And considering I have a 16GB card in my EVO 4G LTE, the additional space won't really worry me.
