Tried a couple different CNA ROMs (solely for the purpose of running a game that freezes on certain parts in ICS) and none of them will read my SD card..ES file manager can read it though..couldn't seem to find a solution anywhere, any help please?
also search function wasn't working at time of posting, so sorry if this has been asked

I've tried searching the forums but haven't been able to find any answers to my problem.
I'm currently running a MT3G with Super D 1.9.2 so I figured I would post in the G1 Q&A since this is a 32B phone and might be more receptive to a better answer. Anyway...
So for a few months since I've flashed many different custom roms, I've had an issue with USB mounting. The SD card will correctly mount to my PC and my PC can view the files on the microSD card. BUT, whenever I try and copy a file to my SD card, my file explorer freezes and my phone starts lagging like crazy and I have to pull the battery.
I've tried doing this on 2 other PCs with 2 different Operating Systems on them but they do the exact same thing. I've also tried a different microSD card but it does the same thing...
Is this a known issue with ROMs? Or is there something I may be overlooking?
It would be nice to fix this issue because it's just a nuisance. It's not the end of the world if I don't get it fixed as I can use my SD card reader, but it would be more convenient if I found a solution.
Any help is appreciated.
I have never had a problem with it. Don't rule out the possibility of a hardware failure.
Did you ever try to let the phone do its thing or does it just lockup for a long period of time?
I almost always use adb to push files instead of mounting, give that a shot. There are a ton of guides that tell you how to set it up, an easy google search guide you.
Yes, I have tried letting the phone do its thing, its very slow but I *could* shut it off that way if I wanted, but the lag persists.
I have been messing around with adb pushing system files, I will try and push files to the sdcard. I found the topic in the sticky showing how to do this.
Also, it might be worth noting that the same behavior happens when trying to mount from Amon_RA's recovery.
Thanks.
Try formatting the card again from the recovery, or whatever way you wanted. But if it keeps happening on the stock firmware, different roms, different cards, it sounds like hardware failure.
Hi,
I tried several custom roms (Slim ICS, CM 9, now ICS333 1.0.2)
However on all of them the phone doesn't recognize the external storage. Is this a general issue?
Beucase I can't use a lot of apps because of this.
I can't access the Gallery because it says "No external storage available". I can't import contacts, can't use the camera app..
Mounting USB storage in the settings doesn't change a thing. It tries to every time but all stays the same.
I know the files are in the emmc folder but does that mean all the apps are unusable? I don't see anyone else complaining.
Is there anything else I can do?
It's actually the phone's internal storage that I meant. My phone doesn't recognize it.
In clockworkmod is does... On my phone with all the roms tested it doesn't.
Troll the threads for each of the ROMs.
Yes it is a lot of reading but you probably will find your answer
I have same problem for 2 months. I tried every rom from the site. I thing have tried 100 roms. Nothing have working for me. I have downgrade to 2.3.6 Also the same problem. Im searching for 2 months. I really need help for this..
Download from market Root Browser and after you install it you will see a Green Button to go back. Press it and enter in "emmc" folder there is your External Storage!(sorry for my english)
I'm having a weird issue with my USB storage when connecting to PC. Both the cards get mounted to pc, but i can only read the data in it, and copy files from it. But I cant write/paste any files into it. Having this problem since HellyBean 10/01, today I changed it to CM10, but the problem still persists..
Please help

Hi, i have a Samsung Galaxy s4 mini GT 19105 and have problems installing apps and games as my device internal storage which is SMALL has very little available space.Please help with a proper method to set my defualt install location of the phone to external 32gb micro sd to allow install of downloaded OBB files to be placed on the EXTERNAL sd card and the apk for games and apps to run from my external card not internal.I have read somewhere that this can be done without rooting the phone and using ADB together with special commands in CMD in Windows.Please assist with definate working method for my request above.Friend has told me that there is a way to set defualt install location to external sd card ( CHECK LINKS BELOW ). I said i have to check with the Professionals at XDA and take their advice as XDA as always helped me.I have heard that if i root the phone , there are apps on playsore that will allow myself to change default install location, but the problem is that most of these apps are not user friendly.Is this true? Please advise

No need for making two threads with the same request!!
Also you're in the wrong device thread, you're in the regular S4 thread, not in the mini thread.
Wanted to suggest foldermount, based on your first thread, but haven't used it myself and I'm avoiding rooting for as long as possible.
Haven't heard of a method without rooting, but haven't known to search for it either.
Hope you find your solutions! Hopefully a moderator will move this thread to it's proper place and delete the previous one!!
Senior Member Alliktavo.Thanks for your swift reply.Appolgies for making error with posting thread in not the suitable thread.I am a newbie. I hope the moderator can help and move me to the correct thread as i dont know how to do that.I hope i will receive a working method to by request.
Thanks Senior Member

[Vanir AOSP is my rom]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2590556
So I got this sdcard 16 GB big. Put it in my phone. It recognized it instantly. But it's not usable.
I can't move any apps to it.
App2sd says that I either have NO sdcard in my phone or it's simulated.
I checked it, it really is in my phone lol.
So i tried using quickpic to move some photos to my sdcard. It worked with no errors, but I had to manually
copy it which is not so fun.
I also tried Nextapp SDfix. Didn't help.
Any tips or maybe a thread that explaines this issue? I already searched on this forum + google but couldn't find anything useful.
Many thanks if you leave me a rather useful reply

It seems your ROM doesn't support App2SD, just like JB
