[Q] sd card

if I turn on USB storage on the phone I can only find the internal memory on the pc, where can i find the sd card?
or do we always need to remove the card from te phone and use adaptor in pc
pretty stupid for a phone that costs around 500€

On my PC it is viewed as 2 SDcards, one 5.5 Gig and one 2.0 Gig(my external)

looks like I m the only one with this problem so it most be some configuration tha is't turn on of off like it should be

Your external sd are mounted in the internal...
So it should be /mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD
So just check in folder _ExternalSD on your sdcard

on the phone this is corect
but if i connect to pc , then i turn on usb storage @ phone
first the phone says " sd card safe to remove"
then notting happens , I turn on usb storage again and then I see only the internal @ the phone , tryed many thing , always I only see the internal , because the phone always seems to safly remote the sdcard first ....
puth the wired thing is wen i conect the phone on pc I can see two cardreaders
first one , the internal memory of the phone
second most be the sd card , but because the phone "safe remove" it first , I cant access it ....
really wierd

I have the same issue here, davjan.
I hope LG will fix this in a next firmware update.
(that they'll find a way to treat both SD-cards in the same manner).

It is the normal behavior to safely unmount the external SD. It does that to provide the computer with 2 different mass storage devices.
Do you happen to have a linux computer nearby?
You could view in dmesg how the SDcards are viewed.

Anyone found a solution to this problem? Why some people are able to see both cards and some others not?

I have the same problem as well. When I turn on the USB storage the pc is "seeing" only the internal sd card. The pc (under my computer) shows 2 different hard drives. When I turn on the USB storage only one of them "turns on" with 5.5GB. There is a file within the internal sd card called External sd card but not sure if this is the "way" to add stuff into the external sd card... anyone?

sd card
you must format sd card in your phone before use. settings-->sd card-->format external sd card. Its solved my problem too.

[Q] internal Storage help

Noob here and I believe I might have created a partition on my internal storage and not the sd card
I;ve restored to factory default and my settings show 5gb of available storage but I thought there was 8? I plug in my nc to my pc and I see two drives - nc one and the other is blank.
How can i get the extra 3gb back or is 5gb correct?
thanks

[Q] memory problems internal and sd

My phone displays that I only have 8GB total to store things on my sd card even though I have I have the 16GB card that came with it. It also displays 4GB internal for storage even though in settings it says 8GB. Any ideas what is wrong?

i to am having some isues but not the same as yours. when i mount my phone to my computer it will only mount the external sd card. cant seem to get the internal storage to mount. sometimes when i download an app is tells me not enough space when there is plenty of space.
with the messed up way motorola has partitioned the internl storage, it is causing alot of isues.

Well I know on my nook color (rooted and running cyanogen) when I try to mount the internal to the computer it doesn't work either so I'm not sure if the problem is the device or a limitation of Android.
Oh and I have had the not enough space message pop up when trying to download some apps I've found retrying the download or rebooting has helped.

[Q] How to move Apps/Games from USB Storage to SD Card

Hey XDA members, just now i install NFS Most Wanted for my SGSA which take up to 2GB. it was pretty smooth for SGSA. but then i realize that after moving the game using App2Sd, it move from Internal memory into USB Storage instead of SD Card. now my internal remain untouch at 1.21GB, but it take 2GB from the USB Storage which leave only 220mb left instead of my 16GB SD card with 8GB free space. i also detect that any app that been moved from internal memory get into USB Storage instead of my SD card. is there any way to move Apps/Games to the SD Card(not USB Storage, the 8GB/16GB that come with the phone)? maybe theres an app or manual method to move them to SD Cards.
my SGSA:
-JellyMod4.0
-CoCore E5.6.2
-CrossBreeder 3.15.13
current storage status:
internal = 1.97GB, free 1.21GB
USB Storage =3.92GB, free 220mb
SD Card = 14.62GB, free 7.32GB

you can swap usb with sdcard (then mobile memory = sdcard) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36530952&postcount=1011 or try use apps like mountstorage (some app dont work)

[Q] GalaxyNote1 (no root) stopped mounting internal USB card

Hi folks,
I am a new android user. I have Galaxy Note 1 and it is not rooted.
Here're the specs of my phone:
Model GT-N7000
Android v4.1.2
Kernel v 3.0.31-906407
[email protected] #3
It has a 16 GB external SD card + default internal USB storage. It was working fine till a few hours back. Then Gallery stopped opening and Camera wouldn't start either. There is nothing shown in MyFiles folder. I have checked using ES File Explorer as well and no data is shown in the directories.
External SD card is working fine. But Internal USB card does not get mounted. There is > 500 mb in internal memory. I've moved most of the apps to SD card and removed unnecessary ones.
Here's the break up of 'Storage':
Device memory
Total Space - 1.97 GB
Applications - 749MB
Available space - 560MB
USB storage
Applications - 158MB
SD card
Total space - 14.83 GB
Available space - 2.18 GB
I have cleared Gallery app - cache, rebooted but it doesn't change.
Also, I noticed that when I am trying to back up messages, it waits for external storage card. The card is inserted and mounted but the phone has stopped seeing it as active. I can mount the external SD card on my notebook though.
Can anyone please help. I am starting to get worried

If u didn't root and u didn't drop/smash your phone, it would be a software issue. You'll have to flash stock ROM via ODIN. If u did drop your phone, it could be a hardware issue and you'll have to bring it to a Samsung Service Centre.
P.S. try taking out your external sd-card, reboot and check if the problem persists.
Merry Christmas!
Smack that thanks button If I helped!
