Hahahaha, I still wasnt able to understand exactly what he was saying.

sd card issue
First format your sd card. recopy all of the files to sd card by. plugging your phone into your laptop and clicking mount as disk drive. then looking for the card that is not marked HTC Storage. since their is 2 storage folders since you have internal and external storage now. then with phone open astro, manage files, ext_sd and all of your files should be there. once you have remounted sd card.

When will the external card be used for apps or even linux?

As eveyone knows you can't really install apps to the external SD card, just the internal sd card.
So then what is the use of the external sd card? to have our multimedia on it?
What I'm wondering is how far fetched it would be to have different operating systems installed to the external card so I dont have to waste my internal memory on the ubuntui hack? Would it be possible to actually boot up into these cards instead of the internal sdcard? Or somehow have windows on them like I saw people using debian (didnt read the full story, still getting ubuntu working)
I assume it will be easier when they figure out how to install apps on the external card.
EDIT: Have I missed something? Ive only been gone a few days. Can we now install apps to our external? Because all app2sd programs but them on my internal sd card.
The other cool thing I thought of is making a micro sd connector that conversts to usb with a modded back plate so you can hook up external usb drives... but thats a different post..

It is annoying that we can't use the Micro SD card for some things. Pretty much any app that lets you save to "SD card" ultimately go to the internal memory which is neither a SD card nor where I want it to go. Most apps provide no way for you to make it save to the actual Micro SD card.
******ng about that wont solve it. If you dont wanna learn and get what you want by yourselves, shut up and wait patiently.

Storage is full!!

Hi,
My phone shows that the internal storage is full only like 700mb free, I don't know why, it shouldn't be like that I checked in my computer by mounting the usb storage but nothing exceeds a couple of mbs, anyone knows what can I do?
Someone correct if I´m wrong, but internal storage is not the same thing that shows up on your computer when you plug the phone via USB.

Generally correct.
Now basically our phones have 2 separate storage components. Internal Storage and Internal SD. Internal Storage is ~2gb and is used for Apps & Games. Internal SD is ~12-14gb and is what is detected when you mount usb storage. Int. SD is used for storage of say.. pictures and music and what nots.
Next time please do a search. Or wiki it.
Ok so my internal SD is the one that seems to be full, any ideas on how to fix this?

move some apps to sd card
Transfer your porn to your external sdcard. That's what I do.
The thing is, my storage is NOT full, it only shows that is full I checked and I dont have anything on there!!
Post a screenshot or two of your About>SD&Storage and you'll get more informed answers please
This is what I'm talking about, the usb storage appears as full even though I have absolutely nothing in there

Do you have a lot of nandroid backups? As they are big and stored in the internal sd card.
/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup is where there stored.

No dude haven't done any backup of anything, well only apps with titanium but checked and thats only 400mb.

Can you tell me what caused these folders to be named like this?

Hi, I recently had a message on my phone that my 32 GB Lexar Micro SD Card was damaged. Basically the phone could no longer read the micro SD Card. I took it out and put it in my PC card reader. It wouldn't read in the card reader, so I formatted the card using the command prompt. The SD Card was wiped clean and working again. So I put the card back into the GS3 and formatted it again with the phone for good measure. All has been fine, although a few of my MP3s had troubles reading (using stock audio player, and never had trouble before) and then just got deleted from the micro SD Card. Later I noticed these two oddly named folders in my files. One is called uATA and the other is called uPPS. But the u is not a usually looking u. You can see what I mean from the screen shot below. The two folders are at the bottom of the list. I couldn't delete these folders with my phone, but was able to delete them from my PC card reader. They have come back again. Can anyone tell me if this means my card is damaged or maybe something else. I know something is wrong for sure. Files just don't get deleted the way a few of mine have.

If I was to take a wild guess it would be something from an app you've installed or restored.
IMHO things don't write files magically, so must be an app or malware.

[Q] Need help with ROM porting (SD Card problem)

I was trying to port a ROM to my phone, but I can't get the SD card to mount properly.
It DOES mount but in a weird way.
The SD card shows up in Settings>Storage but it is divided up between internal storage and SD card.

The 32gb sd card is showing up as internal storage while the files on it are coming up under SD card. And as you can see, there is no option to unmount or format it but a greyed out option to mount it.
And if I take it out and put it back in, it doesn't mount even in this way until I restart the phone.
Apps like ROM Manager/Camera say that the SD Card is not mounted while apps like gallery and apollo can read my images and music off of it.
Could somebody please tell me what could be wrong and how could I possibly fix it.
Bump.
Please someone give some clue. I am also experiencing simillar problem while porting for my phone

Me too!
Except I can't even access the settings>storage because it FCs.
And when I plug in the phone to my computer, it doesn't give me connection options. It just charges.
Any help?
What worked for me was to put the 'storage_list.xml' file from the old framework-res.apk (BASE) to the new framework-res.apk (PORT).
What worked for me was leaving the ports vold.fstab there

sadly none of it works for me

Problem with Storage
Do you have now the permanent fix with this problem?
i tried both the storage_list_xml and leaving the vold their.
but none works for me, I can't still change the default write disk to internal storage, and the size of the internal is not correct.
4gb is the built in memory but it says 16gb when porting roms.
thank you in advanced.

[Q] Android phone stopped recognizing my SD card

Here's the deal.
Today I woke up to my phone charging by the night... but it downcharged to 15% of batterry. I reboot it and find out that my SD card showed up info of being "empty". The minitool partition wizard on a PC shows me that info:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
no no, the memory card is 8GB not 32MB.
How to recover the partitions? Also, the SD card has been partitioned for use with app2sd programs with this tut: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning, because my phone (HTC Explorer "Pico") has a very small amount of internal memory. The rom was stock though.
Of course I could re-format it, but I don't want to, because the data stored there was very special to me. I want to recover it.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
I had that same problem a while back. I unmounted the SD Card and put it in another phone and it still said the same. So I soft reset my first phone, put the SD Card back in, and all was good.

But the card couldn't be recognized on a Linux, on a DMDE, SD Formatter, HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool, and primary on a TestDisk and on a GParted, and one big nothing was achieved.... You say that if I just soft reset the android phone, everything will be back to normal? Did you had the exactly same problem? You know, I need to clarify things before I do something that could destroy entirely my data.
I didn't have the exact problem just something similar and a soft reset (which will do no harm) worked for me. If the SD card can't be read any other ways then I don't know anything else other than formating the SD card.
