Anyone know how to fix this?
The phone has around 20apps only installed and every single one has been transferred to the SD Card.
First of all, the apps have definately not used the 9GB they claim. Secondly, they are all transferred to the SD Card anyway.
But the phones internal storage remains full.
Since there is nothing on the phones internal storage, no idea how to fix this.
Any ideas?
could you plz run this commands on terminal or adb shell, and send me the result ?
du -d 1 /storage/emulated/0

I have the above memory card for my N7000 (Rocket Rom v3) and am having problems verifying its capacity.
H2testw (Windows utility) verified it as having no errors and as 32Gb
ES File Explorer's SD card analyst displays capacity as 11.06Gb
SD Tools displays capacity as 11.6Gb
I have tried copying music (21Gb) to the sdcard using two methods. Firstly connecting the phone as a media device which was very slow and started to throw up errors after a while. Then secondly by removing the SD card from the phone and plugging it into my laptop (Win7) which was far quicker. This second method didn't throw up any errors BUT when I put the card back into my phone no files were found!
I am beginning to think I have a fake SD card which when plugged straight into my laptop is telling it 'Yes I'm a 32GB card' but for some strange reason allows it to copy too many files to the card without complaint. I am going to do some tests to check this out.
In the meantime is there an alternative utility which is guaranteed to verify what my card is either on Android or MS?
Thanks
Please try to do a SD card format on your laptop before putting it in your phone
It might be an issue with its storage that is preventing android from detecting the full size
If that didn't work, try to format the memory card over the phone (using settings)
Best of luck

Okay there were 2 problems, the first one was getting the memory card to be read by my note which I've now managed to do, not sure what I did but there you go, but it certainly wasn't reading before.
The second problem and this is a little embarrassing but when ES File Explorer opens up it displays the contents of the "/sdcard/" by default which on my old desire was the external sdcard but on my note its the internal memory! Not the external sdcard! To view the external sdcard you need to navigate to "/storage/extSdCard/" which is downright misleading unless you come from a Unix mindset of course
SDTools just seems incapable of picking up the external SD card and can only see the internal memory.

Hi,
I am trying to access my internal SD card to backup my data before running a repair in pc companion but having terrible difficulties. In windows 8 via pc companion windows explorer just hangs and the most I have managed is to copy 300mb for 4gb from the phone. I cant even see or get my device seen in Ubuntu. Is there any way at all to get this part of my phone to be seen as mass storage like the external SD card is. I have been trying for hours and searching the internet with no success. All I want to do is back up my data so I dont loose it during the repair process.
Thanks
Lee
Think I have got my windows8 pc working on the transfer but says will take 23 hours!! Surely everyone doesnt go though this when doing a repair each time there must be a simpler solution I am missing here....

Issue still stands, however temporary solution of using es file explorer to copy all my internal sd card over to some space I freed up on my external sd card. out of curiosity can someone actually confirm whether or not I am wasting my time? Do the restore process actually completely wipe my internal SD card?

No, Nothing on either SD card is touched in an update or a repair from PCCompanion.
In an update only system partition is deleted
In a repair system and data partitions are deleted.
Internal and external SD cards are always left alone.
Nice one cheers for that clear up, I have alot of experience with Android but my first device with internal sdcard, warnings on PC Companion are a bit vague, didnt know if to be safe sony would just wipe the entire device during a repair which is a rather big bit of overkill I thought. Thanks for clearing that up. Still hunt for an ideal solution so access that sd card from a pc though grrrr
I currently have a 32 gig card but want to buy a larger 64 gig card. Can I simply copy all contents of my SD card to PC and then paste them back to the new 64 gig card? Will all my apps and their databases installed on SD card still work? Or are apps tied down to the SD card or the device for security. Have 8.1 installed on my Ativ S.
Thank you!

I Suggest 2 Ways .
I think both of them work for you .
1.Copy apps to phone storage and move them to new sd card
2.copy WPSystem in your old sd card to new one (maybe 1% this not work but not a bad try )

Ah but the amount of internal phone storage is less than the size of my current 32 gig sd card so I will not be able to move back to phone all my apps and their data.

so lets test copy wpsystem folder ?
Back from my hd2 days we used to clone the smaller card to the bigger card. Bigger card will then show in your case 32gb. Then use a partition manager to expand the size of the partition. Used to work with wp7.x not sure of wp8.
Wouldn't see why it wouldn't work since it doesn't need to read any info on the actual partition it just copies whole thing to computer then copies whole thing to new card. Then expand it to your cards size.
Back then if you just copied using file explorer it would give error on start up but wp7 on an hd2 is WAYYY different not sure how much wp8 checks sd cards like that.
@reeg420 probably has the right idea here. It *might* work to just copy the filesystem contents, but if you want to be really sure you should copy at a lower level. Note that this will wipe the new card completely! I make no promises of this working in the case of an encrypted (BitLocker'd) card. Here's one way you could do it, if you have access to a Linux/OS X system:
* Insert the first SD card and figure out what device it maps to (I'm going to assume /dev/sdb for this tutorial).
* If the SD mounted automatically, unmount (eject, or 'umount' command) it.
* In a terminal, figure out where you'll want to place the temp file (this step can be skipped if you can mount both cards at a time, but that's rare). It'll be the size of the first card (32GB). It could be something like /tmp/sdclone or ~/sdclone or /dev/sdc if you're doing a direct copy without a temp file.
* Use the dd command ('man dd' if you want to learn more about it). For example:
Code:
dd if=/dev/sdb of=/tmp/sdclone bs=16m
* Once the dd command finishes (assuming it finished without errors), pull out the first sd card and put in the second (assuming you didn't direct-copy).
* Again, unmount the sd card if it auto-mounts. Then dd the temp file back onto the sd card (just switch the paths of the 'of' and 'if' parameters).
* Once the copy finishes successfully (you may want to try re-mounting the card to make sure it worked!) you can delete the temp file.
Of course, this will just give you a 64GB microSD card with a single 32GB partition and 32GB of unusable space. At that point, you can extend the partition into the remaining space. There are various ways to do this - on Linux you might use the 'parted' command or one of its graphical front-ends (gparted/qtparted) - but the easiest is probably to put the card in a Windows machine (or reboot into Windows if you're dual-booting) and use the Disk Management console ('diskmgmt.msc', if you want to use Search or Run).
A card cloned in this way *should* work just fine in your phone, but I haven't tested this.
I experiencing a very annoying problem with my external SD card.
It seems I am not the only one: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z1-Z1s/Z1-destroy-files-on-SD-card/td-p/418011
Basically I loose random data when I store them on external SD card.
Many random data: let's say about 30-40% of what I stored.
This happens:
* if I copy data from internal memory to external direcly with the phone
* if I copy data from the PC to external card using USB connection while the card is in the phone
* even if I copy data onto the card and THEN insert it into the phone
The SD card is a brand new Samsung Class 10 64GB and I tried also with an old 32GB Sandisk with the same result.
I formatted the card either exFAT or FAT32 and in both cases I can fill it without loosing a single byte with the PC.
I am on .157 stock firmware (only rooted to use Titanium Backup and a few tools) but I had the same problem with .133.
Any possible solution in your expert opionions? It is really frustrating to have only 11GB storage in such a great phone!!!
Got three guesses
It does not correctly unmount the card when connecting the phone to the PC in Mass Storage mode
Kernel Bug. On exFat I would expect that, not on fat32. Can be ruled out if it does not happen with custom roms
Voltage on the SD Card suddently drops for some hardware design reason. Should happen on all ROM's
Sounds like some testing is needed? For example #2 is easy to test when someone with the problem flashes a custom rom with and tests the same sd card again.
i'm trying to help out someone who has fallen victim to a fake unbranded micro sd card from ebay.
they bought what they thought was a 64gb card, then tried to move all their photos and videos to it. as the sd card was reporting a capacity of 64gb, the phone tried to move all of it, and deleted it all from the internal storage.
my first port of call was photorec, because it's what i've used before, but that's only any use for recovering from the external sd card, the internal storage will only connect as an mtp device, which photorec doesn't see.
i then rebooted into windows and started trying different android photo recovery software. the closest i've come to success is with dr fone, but that either gets stuck at 90%, or tells me the phone will have to be rooted to recover anything.
the phone is already on the latest firmware version, which i believe means it will have to be downgraded before rooting. is it possible to root it in a way which won't overwrite the internal storage, so i can still recover the deleted photos after rooting? alternatively, is it possible to use ADB to force it to mount the internal storage as a mass storage device rather than MTP?
