Recently i bought an 8gB class 10 sdhc card. Put it in my phone it was working fine. I copied all the files from my old card exacty as they were mounted the card again and the phone says the card is damaged and reboots all the time.
I put it in a friends samsung galaxy3. The card worked fine and all files were there. So obviously it has to do with my phone.
I'm using gingerdx the latest version with stock kernel.
I'd appreciate all the help you could give me guys. Thanks in advance.
try to format your sdcard (backup fist)
don't perform quick format..
still can't try format using phone..
then make a partition..
on developer forum we have a [guide] how to partitionning sd card
Nothing. I tried what you said I even reflashed my rom and worked it with no extra apps but phone still restarts when i try to move an app to the card.
I don't know if it's significant but i noticed that: I went in cwm and tried to mount sd-ext and I always got an error. Tried to format it again error.

do not perform any activity in cwm regarding sdcard it is not compatible,even format sd ext it will give you a result of damage sdcard for some rom or your current,resulting to reformat your sdcard,now backup all your files to pc,reformat your sdcard through your phone,unmount sdcard t then erased sdcard,then back your files...Hope it help...
Go to advanced in cwm and go to fix permissions. See what that does for you.

Guys thanks for all the replies. Nothing seems to be working though, phone keeps rebooting. Might just be a faulty sd card, but that would be the second in the row.
This is a different issue. It doesnt matter what rom I put in, I always get the force close for all the apps. Now I dont know what rom to put in. I put in any rom, initially I get the setup wizard force close, then the google search, market and so on. I have done clearing the cache, tried different kernels.
Another strange that I notice is that whenever I wipe the caches and do a factory reset, there still remains some files in the internal sd card. I formated the sd card as well but when I goto the recovery menu, I still see it. Im trying to fix this issue for the last 3 days. Could some one please help me?
Always make a factory redet after flashing.

I have done factory reset several times. One interesting thing is how many times I do the wiping, the internal sd card still holds some old files. I have even tried to format the sd card but to no help. I still then files. The files are related to CWM and the back up files.

I seen this problem in another thread.. I think it's hardware related... so you might have to send it to Samsung

Would a restore in Kies solve this?
Hey.
I have a problem with my N1.
I use the Evervolv Rom by Texas. Yesterday I the problem occured that it was impossible for me to install any app from the Market. Everytime I try a message "Not enough space" pops up. When I try to restore an app with Titanium Backup it loads for forever, but TB shows that there is enough ROM, Internal, A2SD storage available.
Then I tried several things like repartionating my SD-Card (using GParted - ext3 1,5 GB), using a different BlackRose hboot. I even tried this CM9 ROM, but the problem stays the same.
Now I have no idea how to solve this problem
Could my SD card be broken?
Greetings
crush41
did you activate the a2sd in terminal?
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk
Yes, but i left the dalvic internal
You should try these:
a2sd install (folowed by "yes" and "yes")
a2sd xdata
It should give you a huge internal space.
Sent from my HTC Nexus One
Seems to help, but I find it unusual that A2SD did just now, and now despite the fact that i wiped several times it only works with this command.
Now several apps have a force close when i try to start them... i cleaned dalvic cache and cache but it stays..
ask the master himself or wipe everything 3X b4 you install rom if all else fails FLASH another rom if it continues then get a new sd card if that dont help your phone it self might be the problem .... just giving some ideas ....
A2SD and all it's info is here maybe this might help you bro http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715940 HOPE I HELPED IN SOME WAY
Thank you guys... I checked everything and now brought a new SD... looks good so far
Hey guys,
I recently rooted my s3 mini to JB 4.1.2 by faria and i was wondering why i cant install any more apps as my ram is used up by all my apps. is there a way to clear/wipe all this data and start from scratch installations or any way i can move this huge game files in android/obb to another location in my sdcard to save space for app installations on my phone memory.
also, i have tried directory bind,app2sd, lind2sd and gl to sd(root) none of them seems to be installing or working for me as i still face the prob with installation of the same app.
kindly help.

Everything from ur last post was tried except for the downloading of the busy box. it wont even allow me to download it. it says insufficient storage. i cant proceed from there. i got the rest of it. i ran a chmod to 777 and instlled smanager . any help ?
Had the same error.
Simply wipe dalvik-cache and everything will work fine.
Cheers.
I used titanium backup and wiped dalvik cache. Still no use. Same error. Is there any way I can install busy box in linux.

Remove a LOT of your apps. That should fix the storage problem until you get the script into /data.
you could

try changing default install location. possible with normal device options, dont remember where. or else use app2sd to change it.
although i have the same error, when trying to install anything on extsdcard (with enough room on it), with faria rom v5.1.
with leatherface v2 i didnt have the problem if i remember correct.
update:
i still have the problem too.
wiped dalvik, factory reset multiple times, cleaned odin files, although faria rom is also using odex?
phone works fine, but i only have 4,5gb max internal (fused internal and sdcard).
and i cant install anything to external. i selected the options *install to: autoselect by android, internal, or external.
i tried it with more then one app, like rom toolbox pro.
i also noticed that chaning it it one app, correctly alters it in another.
i asked this in q&a, and i read what i can searching the whole forum. still i wuold really like to know:
-is 4,5 gb max combined/fused is normal for s3 mini +faria rom)?
-is it normal to have .obb partition completely empty, even having installed multipple apps?
its 402mb, totally free.
And i have other partitions also 402 mb, totally free.
-/cache partitions remains at 14mb, whatever happends, even after changing usage of cache heavier and lighter.
-cant install anything on extsdcard.
-/mnt/sdcard shows in that directory, with root explorer, as linked to sdcard0.
same in root:/sdcard (not sdcard0!) linked to -> sdcard0
but it has no apps in it. and only some folders.
?i dont know if i am correct in assuming that "->" symbol in root explorer means: linked to.

did u used linked to sd?if yes you have to select default instal location to automatic...that solved my problem...the setting in link 2 sd....before this i select install to ext sd card and every time theres error insufficient memory...

no that is not what i mean exactly.
i do use link2sd now, to use my extsd 2nd partition. but it gives an error: installl_failed_insufficent storage.
even when i put it on auto.
when pressing create link, i get: i/o error.
what do you have selected to auto move to 2nd partition?
my primary question, has to do with the fused internal+sdcard phone memory (so not extsdcard), of faria firmware.
Phone sees the fused internal as,... internal memory.
and the phone sees my extsdcard as external sdcard.
i presumed the reason for this is to be able to install apps on ext sd too, by default. (so without link2sd or others).
because the problem as i see it is:
now i have less phone storage.
i still cannot install to external sd card.
i would really like to know
- what should be the benefits of this fused memory? why did faria do this?
- beacause now i have less or same memory, and no benefits.
-what i have to change in system mount, or fuse, to get back original non-fused.
- And/Or, how i can enable extsdcard to install to it too.
thanks
Have you tried with an ext4 partition on your external sd, for link2sd? I've read somewhere that it worked.
Otherwise Directorybind do work. I've binded the whole Android folder without any problems at all :good:

hi,
actually i do also had a the same problem with my cell phone as of yours... so i just wanna know if we had comeout with those problem.... please suggest me a solution too if you had solved those problem.
please do help...
found a solution (maybe?)
I personally had the same problem right after flashing a new rom on my i9100. I read through the script amd it was quite literally just unmounting and mounting the sd card again. I wasn't sure how it could possibly be a simple matter of mounting the sd card but it worked so I'm okay with that.
If you're on 4.1.2 then you can probably manually unmount and mount the sd card by going into system settings, storage and scroll down to sd card for unmount. It'll take a short while to unmount and another to mount again and check for errors. Not sure if you have to do this will ever boot but it beats not ever installing anything, right?

if u used lucky patcher remove previous patches and stuff like that
So I know when flashing roms sometimes it will erase the SD Card, Okay well I forgot about 5 pictures I had taken and was like oh well, so when I went to go load all my stuff back on it, My SD card is empty but it says 6GB is being used, which is about right what it was but there are NO files on it... Where are the files??? Using Root explorer and show hidden stuff on the computer still dont know where the files are at....
did you flash a 4.2 rom?
I wanted to try out cm mod. Then went back to stock 4.2.2 I don't care if I lost some stuff. But its Stikl there but I can't see it.

i know that your suppose to wipe before flashing a 4.2 rom.
the file system is in a different spot so it leaves the old system there.
I do not know how to get back the free space beside formating and reflashing the system.

Ive already formatted system and it still shows stuff stored there.
Not to sure then.
Only had the phone for a week so haven't gotten use to the file system yet.
I just know it's set up different from other phones.
I had the same experience also... what I did was I went to CWM recovery and format /sdcard and I did wipe user data/factory reset...
This was happened when I flashed 4.2.2 onto 4.1.2 without wiping anything....
transfer everything from your sdcard to your computer then format sdcard in cwm and transfer your files back and they should be in the right place
Ive got the same problem. Stock rom never rooted, "OTHER" in storage taking up 6.7GB.
I have looked at clearing junk files with CLEAN MASTER app but my cache files only takes up 33mb.
Did anyone look what "OTHER" in storage was when they got their brand new phone? Does Sense 5 really takes up over 6GB?
EDIT:
A few people confirmed that the phone have about 26GB of space out of 32GB brand new, so yeah Sense 5 DOES take about 6GB of space!
