For those who formatted the Galaxy Note USB storage.
What files are included in that area when the Note is first bought?
I formatted that area before I viewed the files. So now I don't know what files I missed.

Hey, what's up? I bought my new Galaxy Note yesterday, and there are some things I don't understand. One of the first apps I installed was App2SD. The Note didn't came with an SD (today I bought one), but something appeared as SD Card. When in I entered to the app, I saw something very interesting. It said that the System storage was 2GB (??!?) and the SD (it didn't had any SD) was 11GB. Today I installed the SD (real) and the app still the SD was 11GB!!! I downloaded MI file explorer, to see better the storage and install some apps I moved to the SD, and when I entered to SD tab, there were folders of Camera, Downloads.. but I couldn't find any of my apps. Then I find the folder "external_sd" and I opened it. Yes, all the apks I moved to the SD were there. So, I thought , lets see the storage tab in Task manager menu. There appeared 3 things: the SD card (8gb), the system storage (2gb) and the USB storage (11gb). So, I realized that all downloads and photos were saving in the USB storage (that is part of the System storage I think). I could change where does the photos save, but no the downloads and apps. They are still saving in that USB storage. And something it was very strange: when I move to SD some apps (Zen Bound 2, 200MB) it appears in the SD but really small (200MB to 20MB) So, the questions are:
1. Can I change that the apps don't install in that USB storage?
2. Can I turn off that USB storage?
3. Why when I enter in Settings and I move an app to the SD, in app2sd appears like it was moved to the USB storage? Or it moved to the real SD?
4. Why the size of the apps change?
Thanks really

usb storage missing after the updation of Icecream sandwich, but wen connect to usb in system it wil visible in computer? how can i find my usb storage folder in my phone?
Look in settings>storage to see if your usb storage is unmounted. If thats the case mount it.
This happened to me when I upgraded to ICS on my sgs2.
Hi , I've got the same problem. I updated to ICS this morning. Everything on the phone is stock. I too have noticed that the usbStorage folder is missing when I try to search for it using My files icon....but I can see it if I open up Polaris Office to search for the usbStorage folder (although it appears to be empty)
I then went into settings - storage and USB storage appears here as well but the only option it gives me is to "format USB storage" which I don't want to do. Could you explain how I "mount" the USB storage.
It appears the usbStorage folder is still there but just no way of accessing the files/data in it
I'm quite new to Android so any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks
Its further down in that settings pane. Under SD-card. Atleast on my roms
Ah ......I think we may have been talking about two different things. On my stock galaxy Note i have 3 separate storage areas.
1 The internal storage which holds approx 2 gb
2 USB Storage which holds approx 11 gb
3 micro Sd card which in my case holds aprox 8 gb
It is 2 internal USB storage folder that has dissappeared. I used to be able to use file explorer to drag items from my desk top into this folder but after the update everything in this folder has dissappeared. I have a back up form a month ago so haven't lost that much but still it's a pain .

Any solution?
I am facing same problem after upgrade to stock ICS. Been asking and searching around but nobody else seems to have this problem.
My external sdcard can be detected in PC and on stock GB but not on ICS. Now I can't root because recovery is also not seeing my sdcard.
Earlier I had the same question and I posted in one of the threads.

you may be looking in the wrong folder,
on my device, both with GB-LB1 on ICS-LPY,
- the internal storage is connected as /mnt/sdcard, inside it there are:
- external_sd for external SD-Card
- usbStorage for USB OTG (empty until USG flash drive is connected)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I can see the mount point external_Sd but it is empty.
I have files on the external sdcard which I can see on PC/GB.
I have the same problem since updating to ICS. Stock unrooted.
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.
Hi
I have an International Galaxy Note (N7000). It had problems with sim card (the SIM socket lost contact with the pcb), so I started to use it as a media player and wifi functions. Yesterday it stopped on the boot screen (with the model number), so I tried to load a backup using recovery. Surprisingly, I got a sdcard mount error. Tried to read the sdcard in PC, but Windows says that the card must be formatted and recognize as a 1GB card (it's a 32GB card). If I try to format as 1GB Windows says that was not possible complete the process.
After all, I tried to turn on the phone via recovery and wipe data via recovery and.... the same error on internal memory. I was running Samsung's official 4.1.2 ROM. Anyone had this problem?
Odp: [Q] Internal emmc and external SD destroyed
Mount the two cards to the computer and try to recover them using EASUS Partition Manager.
Stellar phoenix is another one..used this & I was able to recover the same folder tree (just that main folder names will be different, but sub-folder names will be the same what you had given) :good:
Greetings;
I use an OTG most of the time since in Canada the only storage option is 16Gb.
My device XT1097 is unlocked & rooted on stock Rom.
Lately the sd card is spitting out "Gibrish" files that are named in strange alphabets/codes!
And they quickly fill up the 32Gb sd card in the OTG. I have tried to format with different
applications and on the device "erase" function as well to no avail! As soon as I try to copy
anything to the card, the Garbage files take over!!
Any info/help is much appreciated.
