I just updated to alpha 6, and im having a problem with my internal storage. When I plug my phone up to my computer only the external sd card shows up, but when not hooked up, all my apps have no problem accessing my internal sd card.
I've already tried the wipe/factory reset as said in the development form but that didn't fix anything
Thanks!

Hashcode,
I remember reading about this when ICS AOSP was first being compiled, and that this was a design change in order to increase security of the devices. I saw a Galaxy Nexus for the first time yesterday and when I plugged it into my machine I thought it was using MTP to transfer files. Has anybody else out there in the porting community been able to allow USB mass storage yet for the internal memory or maybe that's just a feature that's been permanently disabled by Google?

My external USB storage mode does not work for whatever reason, I have no idea why, it works on stock rom, it worked briefly on CM7...
I have no way to put files on External SD, I guess I could use a MicroSD to USB adapter but that just seems unnecessary. Previously on stock ROM when I used Software Data Cable or other FTP softwares I could just navigate to /External SD and all my files would be there, CM7 seems to do some annoying sort of merging, where External SD is showing as empty despite having files...
Any ideas?
Edit: Okay I changed CM7 settings to use External SD. This has fixed the running out of int SD issue and now I can more easily edit the more important files with the USB-SD. USB storage still doesn't work though.
If you don't have the "External SD" symlink anymore you could navigate to the "emmc" folder with a file manager on your phone which will be the second sd.
The mounting problem sounds like a USB driver problem.
Uninstall all LG parts from your PC, restart, reinstall the newest drivers and use another USB port to connect the device.
Internal & external SD should popup as two different drives when you plug it in.

CM7 is rubbish i used that for all of about 1 hour and got sick of the rubbish ideas that were stuck in it, its certainly not as smooth as the cm lovers would have you believe.
If i were you id stick to a custom stock rom.
Well I find cm7 better than Topogigi if that's anything to to by? Faster with better battery life.

Can't comment on battery life but in case you havnt noticed cm doesn't use the lg launcher it uses adw so its bound to be quicker. Compare them launcher to launcher and i garentee they are exactly the same.

Hey i be recently noticed a problem that every time I reboot my phone, my previous images from gallery and music from Apollo disappears.
I ran kaspersky on my phone but can't detect anything funny. Have also tried to load the videos in vlc but it doesn't work.
Other android users have faced some problems like this but a quick reformat of their card would erase this problem. In my case im not using ext SD card from the note, but using the internal sc card that is the mounted flash memory.

But how can my SD card be corrupted ?? Its the internal memory that its saved to.
Forgot to mention im on a GB kernel and using CM9 ROM. Should I still go for a. Factory reset?? Will my apps go??
How should I repair from windows?? When I connect via USB to computer. I see two drives, the internal and external storage of the phone . I can view the files on the external but u can't see any files on the internal

Hey guys.
I am trying to get my pc to pick up my note as USB mass storage but so far I've had no success.
I installed the official drivers and everything, but so far no luck.
I am running the latest CM9 nightly.
Also, for some reason, its treating my internal storage, as my SD card.
Any help you could give would be welcome!
Mount via Cwm recovery?

i guess u need to use ICS binder from the play store first
Ok so I've posted this elsewhere and there was no resolution, but I have new info.
So I know there are several others experiencing this problem. Today I flashed every one of the current 4.2.2 roms. I figured I'd install my apps a few at a time to try to determine which app was causing the internal SD to stop mounting. Strangely though when I would boot into the ROM for the first time it did not mount. So I went back farther and only installed the ROM zip and no gapps. Bam it mounted. Rebooted several times, both into recovery and into the system. Each time it mounted. Then I would get excited and install the gapps. Bam no internal SD mount. I tried all the current gapps on here and the insomnia forums. I even downloaded the 03/01 gapps from goo .im.
So obviously this is not all conclusive, but I flashed and wiped and flashed about 25-30 times today trying to figure this out. I confirmed this in my mind for the latest BBB and linereo 10.1.
Those of you wondering I used cwm and tw(the awesome custom insomnia version). My procedure is factory reset/ROM wipe, then I wipe, system, cache, dav cache, internal SD, and Android secure...2 times each. Then I reinstall the ROM.
After install fixing permissions does not fix the problem either.
Also I'm not really expecting any developers to work on solving this since it is also caused by the goo gapps, just thought it might help some of us struggling with this problem.
Swap sd is currently solving my problem, it mounts the internal as external, but it mounts.

I don't think it's really a ROM issue as much as a compatibility issue with some hardware variance with some exhibits. I know we've had other issues that only some people have and no amount of wiping and flashing fixed those.
I bet if we opened up my exhibit, which is only 4 months old, and say camcory or tims we could find differences when we compared them component by component...I believe this is the reason for the varied compatibility.
Hope that helps!

This solution is easier than replacing the system board...
Connect the phone to your computer via USB (this works on tablets with USB as well). When it pops up to ask you to turn on USB storage for the computer, do it. Give it a minute or two to mount the SD and one internal user partition to the computer desktop, then unmount/eject the drives from the computer and turn off USB storage. The other internal partition will be mounted, and will remain so until the next phone reboot.
I've hooked my T679 to both my Hackintosh laptop and my TF101 in this manner, and it works every time.
Thank you red_five_1976 so much for your help. I followed your instruction and voila, it worked !! I like many others, am scratching my head on how exactly to get my external micro SD card to work after installing Android 4.2.2, you method worked for me and I'm a happy man !!

I've also found that if it didn't mount on a reboot, if I reboot to recovery and wipe davlic and cache, then reboot back into ROM that solves the problem.
Btw I'm using the 6/3 AIOP at the moment, best this phone has ever been in every way.

So my Galaxy Note has just stopped seeing the internal usb storage. I have a 32GB SD Card installed and can read that fine but the internal USB storage has unmounted itself somehow. When I go into settings and storage and try to mount the usb storage, it does not work, it just flashes up with "Preparing USB storage" and then nothing happens.
File explorers can't see the usb storage but can browse the SD Card fine. Some aps are running, some do not run properly as a result (eg Swiftkey keyboard works but can't access text prediction etc).
Presumably a file is corrupt somewhere and stopping the phone from reading the internal storage somehow but I am not very techy.
It is running the stock Samsung firmware with Android 4.1.2. I've turned the phone off and on a couple of times, taken the battery out etc.
Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Maybe formatting it is the last option if changing ROM doesn't help.
I haven't tried a factory reset yet, that is probably the next step. However, will that effect the EMMC bug? I guess the other alternative is to flash with a ROM, probably the same one I have now but as I have no experience of doing that, I will need to take some time to read up on the process etc.
Thanks E.Cadro for moving the thread.
Hello, I'm currently facing the same issue as well. For no rhyme or reason, the internal phone storage is not detected. Trying to find ways to salvage the memory as there are some stuff that's not backed up.
Does any one have any tips on fixing it before trying the last resort of formatting to factory settings?
Some details:
Stock samsung firmware running 4.1.2
Not rooted

I'm just not seeing why a factory reset is such a big deal (from a safe kernel of course)
So you have to spend 20 minutes setting up the phone again...

Point is to try to save the storage as I have mentioned, some things (photos and stuff) have not been backed up yet.

I resolved the problem by doing the factory reset. Not such a big deal but lost some data in the process that I could not back up because of the internal storage not being mounted. In my case the data I lost was not such a big deal as most of my important stuff was on the ext sd card or in a cloud somewhere.
After the reset, the note is obviously like new and running very smoothly. Makes me think I should do a reset every so often to clear out apps that accumulate and just to give the phone a fresh start.
