Hi guys, I have a problem with my external sd card (atleast I think). I can open files from it from my file manager( I use ES file manager) but I cannot access my files from my Music Player. And also when I try to open Camera, Google Music and so on they seem to force close. Also when i reboot the phone it says "Preparing sd card" and that's it. I have noticed that when I remove my external sd card the phone is back to normal and I can access all the apps in the phone. So I ask you this. First, is this a external sd card problem? And second, no matter if it's a external sd card or internal storage how can I fix it? (I have formatted my external sd card from my phone like 3 or 4 times and I formatted it 1 time from my PC). Please help me!

I have this peculiar problem, sometimes my sd card wont auto-mount.
Thats not really a issue since its easily fixed, but the thing is that when the sd card is not mounted, another folder is used in its place.
so when i try to access the sd card i go to /mnt/sdcard/_externalsd/
Sometimes i get the correct sd card contents, but sometimes i get another folder, containing stuff and photos that ive been placing there when the sd card was not present.
This eats my internal memory and i cannot find this non-mount-folder when the sd card is mounted.
So i wonder, is it possible to disable read/write to this default non-mount folder so it appears as if the sd card isnt present (when it isnt) instead of as it is now, faking a virtual sd card?
Just unmount your sd card then copy the files from externel/ to some backup folder on your internal sd . To get the mounting issue fixed you could mount your sdcard on a pc and format it with the standart system tool , just rightclick the sdcard once its mounted and select format, dont do quick format dunno if thats also gonna work
No auto amount is also due sometimes to a recovery reboot from Rom Manager directly
Happened to me
Entering in recovery with on/off and vol down solve it
I have just installed the official CM10 nightly from http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=p990
First of all used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975274
Took me a while to find the external sd card, it is listed as storage/sdcard1 but I can't access any internal sd card, I assumed it would be listed as storage/sdcard0 but clicking that just gives me an empty folder.
When I attach the phone to the PC only the external sd card shows up. CWM-recovery can't mount the sd card either (I have tried with CWM6 and CWM5).
I tried mounting the sd card from "settings-device-storage" and it starts to do it and then stops.
I could maybe live with this but I use Sygic for a satnav and that is telling me there is no sd card present, so I can't use it.

it's ok now http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34086129&postcount=30
Hi fellow members,
I'm facing with inaccessible internal sd card problem since today morning. Everything worked fine, phone was a bit laggy so restarted it. After that, usual SD card check run and I keep getting "Damaged SD card - SD card is damaged. Try reformatting it." message External 32GB SD card works well.
Titanium Backup does not see the internal sd card anymore. Tried Root Explorer Lite, it does not see it either.
I have been using this rom for 2 months now without problems:
[ROM][GT-N7000][JB][4.2.1] Official CyanogenMod 10.1 Nightlies
When I boot to Recovery, ClockWorkMod does see both internal and external SD cards... Tried to hook up to PC while being in recovery to save data from internal card to PC, however it does not see the phone there.
Questions are:
how to fix internal sd without reformatting it?
how to save internal sd card's content to PC (either from recovery)?
what do you suggest?
Thank you in advance for your help.
ps: I do not have AT&T version of Note1, but the international.

This app is simply amazing! Could select the whole internal sd card content and paste it to a folder on external sd card IN RECOVERY MODE. Now have to figure out how to fix the inaccessible inner sd.
After installing CM12 on my Xperia V, I've moved some apps to my internal sd card (sdcard0), they work well and everything is fine.
Now when i insert external sd card to my phone , all apps moved to sdcard0 are disappeared, when i remove my external sd card and turn on my phone again the apps back again. I want to use my external sd card, can you help me?
Note: when i connect my ext sd card to computer i find android_secure folder.
Did it happen on any ROM u are using? Try to format sd card via pc and put it into ur phone and reinstall the apps with external card inserted in phone.

This is my first ROM.
I've tried formatting the sd card and the problem still not solved. The apps were installed on the external card before " by using Link2SD" but i want them on the internal storage
Note: When i try to move an app to sd card using normal app manager when the ext sd card inserted, they move to the ext card not sdcard0. so that's why i move them when ext card not inserted, they moved well but when i insert my sd card back they disappear.
Hi all,
I have a sandisk SD card in my phone set as internal storage since I got it.
Today it is going funny...I can see it in the list of storage but when I browse it I don't see any contents.
I plugged the phone into PC and it shows as 22.8gb free of 119gb but also will not show any contents.
I have removed and reinserted the SD card, I have tried setting it as internal storage again but no luck.
Even in ES File Manager I see the SD card name but once selected no content.
Currently cannot try the SD card in computer directly as I am in office and don't have an Micro to standard SD adaptor card with me. I am not too concerned about data loss as all my photos are backed up on Onedrive and my music on my laptop.
Did anyone else have issues such as this in the past?
Any tips on how to resolve without having to format SD card and copy everything back?
Cheers
Ok, very strange.
In my laptop using card directly everything is there with no issues but phone just sees the 22gb empty part of SD card.
I tried another blank Samsung SD card and it works fine so I copied the data from the card with the issue and everything works fine.
Formatted the card playing up and also is fine.
So no idea why the phone decided not to see all the data on the SD card that was in it for last 6 months.
