PC to external SD transfer not working. - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My problem is that when i try to transfer files from my PC(mass storage or MTP) to the external SD it always stops or does not start at all. Everything else is working fine. And theres also no problem when using the SD with my laptops card reader.
Im using Doc's Master ROM:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1442169
but i think i experienced this problem with 2.3.5 too.

Can you access the external SD card while it's in your phone? So can you navigate to to the files using a file manager?

ICS has many Problems with The ext. Sd...
Mee too i had this problem with the Aokp...

Yes i can browse all the files and play Music and Videos. Transfering the files from the internal to the external SD also works.
@theKingJan:
I'm not really sure but i think i already got this problem with some GB roms. And it seems there aren't many others having this problem with AOKP. And yes i have this problem with other ICS roms too. So I thought my computer is the reason for this strange behaviour but the same thing happens with other computers.

How to remove INTERNAL SD card?

I would like to change my internal SD into a bigger one. I don't know how to do it though. Is there a way? I want to copy my apps and games on my external but I can't. That's why I wanna change the internal. Apparently it's somewhere deep in the phone. Any help is appreciated.
i dont think you can do that.
the phone have about 1.4GB for system storage and 13GB for internal SD
the game apk installed on system and game data is in internal SD
i think it has okay except you want to install all HD games on your phone

You could use some ICS rom which supports switching internal & external storages. AFAIK at least the CM9 and AOKP supports it.

I don't think you can/should change the internal sd. You have 13 or 14gb of usable memory on your internal, why can't all your apps fit on there? Have you tried move2SD? Also, a majority of apps don't like to be run from a sd card.
Sent from my I9000 running Slim ICS 3.6.
Apps2sd and other sd apps only copy to internal. Because I have a 8gb device my internal is only about 6gb or so. I'm using ICSSGS. Maybe i'll change to some rom that supports external sd apps.
Hi, my advice: you should try Link2SD (on Market)
No more props with storeing more then 200 Apps

[Q] Problem with EXTERNAL SD card

I noticed 3 problems with my external SD card:
1. When I copy from PC to my Note some files, sometimes I can't see the files anymore when using the Note after I unplug it from the PC
2. Some movies doesn't play on the external SD card, but the same videos do play on the internal SD card.
3. When I want to flash a ROM, which I copied it from the PC to the external SD card, it aborts and saying the file is bad. BUT, I can flash the SAME ROM from the internal SD card.
Even after formatting the external SD card via the Note, I still have those problems. Even a movie via KIES doesn't work on my external SD card.
Is my external SD card defect? Or am I doing something wrong?

Yes, your external sd card might be defective. Try another one to find out.
Do a full overwrite for mate with this https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/

Hi, I have copied mkv-files since then, but after one or more files copied to the external SD-card, only the first (sometimes two in cases of coping three or more files) is able to play. The rest are unable to play with different video players.
I tested to copy two of the same movie, but always one wasn't able to play.
Hypothesis: my external SD card is defect. Or am I missing something?

Apps can't find external SD in CM10 #3

Guys,
I installed CM10 #3 over the weekend, looks awesome and promising. But I have a problem with external SD card.
Basically internal memory is mounted at /storage/sdcard0, and external SD card at /storage/sdcard1. Or internal at /mnt/sdcard, external at /mnt/extSdCard.
But all my apps (apart from Solid Explorer which has root access) have problem accessing external SD card, as if it doesn't exist. This is including built-in Camera, Gallery, MP3 players etc.
Any idea for a workaround? Is there anything like a symbolic link that I can create?
Thanks
Regards,
Cary

Do you mean /mnt/emmc?
That folder doesn't exist in my CM10 #3 install.

:good: Awesome tool! It helped me bind/rebind the external SD card to /mnt/sdcard/external_sd.
Now Google Play can pick up my songs in external SD card. Camera360 can save pictures to external SD card. The Gallery app still has trouble - it couldn't load my DCIM folder on SD card but I guess it's individual issue.
PS. Only one small thing to watch out - make sure your existing "external_sd" folder is empty, otherwise the app doesn't work.

[Q] I9000 Internal SD unmounts when using JB ROMs

Hi, I'm having this issue with my I9000.
Any JB with different kernels makes the internal SD eventually be unmounted in my I9000.
When install a JB ROM the phone works very well but suddenly, the internal SD (phone's SD) is always unmounted with every reboot.
In CWM both SD are mounted and read without any problem. With ICS ROMs the phone works flawlessly.
In my case, the external SD is functioning as expected.(I have a 32 GB micro sd)
The installation language is Spahish - Spain.
No matter which method of cleaning and wiping I use, the result is the same.
Also, starting from GB stock firmware (JVU) flashed with Odin, followed by installing the nightly Cianogen CM10.1 and finally flashing the desired JB ROM works.
I tested Helly Bean, Slim Bean, C-ROM Mix and Baked Blacjbean7 obtaining the same behaviour.
USB Mounting does not "see" the internal SD. After many tries connecting and disconnecting of the PC, the internal SD is eventually mounted.
If I start the phone in "safe mode" (long pressing in menu reboot option), the internal SD is mounting.
Important: I'm restoring around 54 apk using Titanium backup (games, applications and utilities) in every case. I did not tested the ROMs without these restorations. ¿Could be an applications that is causing this issue?
I read some post with very similar situations but without any response.
¿Any idea on what is going on or a recommendation?
Thanks for helping and answering.
Being more precise, the internal storage that is not recognized is the USB storage, not the Internal Storage. Remember that the Galaxy S 8 Gb of internal SD is divided into Internal Storage and USB storage.
A quick way to test if your phone is reading USB storage is using any File Manager to see if SDCARD is opening.
AW: [Q] I9000 Internal SD unmounts when using JB ROMs
Can you please open /storage/sdcard0/ and tell if you have the same issues there? Because it could be a symlink problem.

It is opening but the folder is totally empty...

Found something.
I have a 32 Gb external micro SD. If I turn on the phone without the micro SD in place, the USB storage mount OK.
I think that the JB ROMs o perhaps JB Kernels around cannot handle BIGs micro SD ¿a bug?, maybe.
I never have had problems with my micro SD even more, ICS ROMs flash and work OK with it installed.
Has someone a 32 Gb uSD to test?
Phone with 4Gb uSD works without problems.
32 Gb uSD is perfectly identified by a PC and no error is detected.
Phone with 32 Gb uSD shows the problem again....
Ok. The problem was a corrupted clockworkmod folder/files con the external SD. Reformating the SD solve the problem.
Thanks for your help.
Best Regards.
