The images, music and video files i put onto the internal storage doesn't come up in the album, video or walkman or other apps that can read these files but if you manually just open the file with those listed app it works but the properties are all unknown and stuff, however when i put these files onto a Micro SD card it reads it perfectly. Though when i take pics and gets saved in internal storage that still gets read.
i tried force stopping it and clearing data and stuff, reset no luck. Help

Copy everything you have on your internal storage to your pc and then copy them back to your storage. Sometimes that works.

Inside the Internal Storage, it should have two directory, MUSIC and CONTENT. Could someone upload it?
Are you having a problem with your internal storage folder?

Jreach, I'm having the same problem as you. I had access to my internal storage and lost it within 20 minutes of receiving the device. I can't reformat using Clean Storage (mass storage cannot be accessed) nor can I see the internal storage using memory, storage card (no card installed message). All of this happened PRIOR to connecting my phone to the pc.
When I use active sync (and Windows Media Player to sync music), I cannot see the internal storage. Windows Media Player doesn't see it either. When I use file explorer or whatever the other option is, I see a removeable drive on my PC. I cannot reformat it. If I double click on it on my xp machine I get an error message saying the "F:\ is not accessible, the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable."
Given that, I suspect we will not be able to fix this and must return our Diamonds to Sprint. Please let me know if you find a solution. Thanks.
I finally successfully flashed CM7 to my Captivate. The only problem I've encountered is that my phone apparently no longer recognizes video files. I transferred a few .avi files to my external SD card, but when I went to view them, they don't show up in the gallery or any of the apps that play video. When I check for the external SD in the file manager, the videos don't show up. I then plugged the phone back into my PC and copied the files from the external SD to the internal and they still don't show up in the gallery. They do show up in the file manager, but when I try to open them, I get the message that the files can't be played.
Has anyone else run into this or have a potential fix? Thank you.

I've heard that AOSP doesn't have access to all the codecs samsung does. You might need to grab a different app for it.
Hi all,
So last night I decided to check out the PC Companion program on my laptop. I opened File Explorer and noticed that the phone created a folder called "Storage/legacy" and "Storage/0" on my internal sd. Inside, only 3 songs I transferred to my external sd thru settings\storage\transfer files to SD.
As I am familiar with how Android mounts storages it seemed a bit odd. As my previous action was the transfer to sd, I assumed my Xperia made a mistake by copying the songs and creating a new folder tree, on my internal storage. So I deleted these folders, because I don't need triple copies.
Selected folder, hit delete, PC Companion crashes... Turns out after deleting, BOTH INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL SD EMPTY!! Luckily I managed to restore 95% of my micro sdcard (12 hours later).
Questions: Can someone point out what I might have done wrong here? Or, explain me why the phone mirrors the internal and external storages, but showing only the 3 copied files on the internal storage? Is this a bug?

Any suggestions... (I've eliminated any problems with FireKat and PopRocks. They are solid)
Running FireKat V20 (4.1.1.) SD card tested and is readable/writeable (128Gb). Pics are in proper DCIM\Camera folder on SD. Music is in Music\ folder on SD. (some players find music but "PlayerPro" and "Sound Picker" do not find music. Cannot change ringtone with Sound Picker or other programs (says unable to change ringtone). The pics will only show in Gallery by displaying through Picasa. These problems also occur even on stock rom before flashing custom rom. Oh, also tried "fix permissions".
I've tried everything I could think of including Odin back to beginning several times. Tried PopRocks rom, no joy. Believe my I've tested and experimented with a lot of stuff but cannot solve the problem.
Any suggestions to help correct finding my pics and music on SDCard would be appreciated.......
Update Pics & Music only on Internal storage
I've determined that pics and music do show up if stored in "Internal" storage.
If I copied all pics & Music to internal storage I can see all.
Is there a way to "move" those files from internal to external storage other than just moving in root explorer??

are you doing a factory reset/clean flash after odin, if not make sure you do so, and also format your sd card using your device instead of your computer
Yes, factory reset/clean flash wiping everything except SD Card many times to try and find the problem. I'll try wiping and formatting the sd card, I have not done that yet.
Thanks!

My storage space is insufficient, almost reaching 62G, so I used an SD card and selected the merge storage option. After selecting, the system automatically transfers the APP to the merged SD card. The SD card stores 32G but the storage space of the phone is still about the same 62G, the phone still displays the message of insufficient space. When I open the SD card, it does show apps and photos, but when I open the APPS space, it shows NO app.
It feels that the system backs up some apps, photos, videos to the SD card instead of moving the files over.
Is this normal? What should I do to use the SD card properly?
Thank you

i recently found out with this device that it manages data so weird..
1st make a back up of your internal storage. and reset your phone with the mr3 from the site
2nd..after that finishes setup device. storage should be normal
3rd. move files from pc that you backedup and DONT COPY THE ANDROID FOLDER. THATS WHERE THE PROBLEM IS(If you dont play games or just re-download the apk feom play store.)
thats just my conclusion.
i dont use my sd card as interal.. i still don't trust that option. i dont want to lost all my files.. juat my cents
Thanks a lot, reset is a nightmare hahaha
