hi all i have been very annoyed with sonys attitude to getting the sd card mounting wrong even after speaking to them online and over the phone i got the same reply ... this is not a fault with sony this is something you will need to contact the app devs. unhappy with this i tried fixes found on the www all came up with the same problem it all works fine on the phone but not on pc so after a bit of work i think i have a solution
the vold.fstabs in the /etc needs to be tweaked as with all others on the net but this one works with the pc as well.
has been tested on my device if you replace it with the file attached (root access required ) after renaming original to .bak .
reboot device if you get sd error on reboot please delete and restore orginal and post your finding
please note i am not a dev i have some knowledge but just a hobbyist
i hold no responsibility MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP

Hi.
Is this a bug on all Xperia GO?
I don't have any issue with my SD card on my phone, everything are working like it should i believe.
Could you please explain what kind of problem this is? The SD EXT card i believe is the extra memory card you insert into the phone. If so, i don't have any problem with that one.
Thanks in advance

this is a problem with all go and as far as i know all xperia 2012 phones where the internal memory is partitioned to system and user the user is then mounted as sd card meaning that after 4gb no more app data can be installed etc. this means that you SD CARD is unusable for apps and app data (apps2sd) will try to install to sd card but go to internal memory

but not working. Now everything is ok. Thank You very much!
Uhu, I messed up.
I did everything you said, but right after restarting, some apps (usbotg, media service etc) stopped working and some apps as well, I think they were in internal storage.
One thing, as you were saying, the ext_sd will be sdcard and the sdcard will be ext_sd?
[Xperia Go] are the mountpoints the same in JB?
If I switch my internal and external sd mountpoints using ICS, will a upgrade to JB using SUS overwrite the(modified) vfold.fstab?
Isuspect the upgrade will unroot the phone
can i use in xperia go JB st27i? i tried, but unsuccessfully

Hi guys, this is my first post here.
I have a question: I know that i can't do a sd partition without a mod kernel, but there's no mod kernel for my device(sola)!
In development section there is a script that let me move app to sd but I don't understand if it works like Link2sd or if it is a great substitute of a sd partition..
Tnx for help!
are you refering to sd card not mounting as sd ? if so and you are a rpot user if u can send me ur vold.stab from systrm/etc i can look at changing it for you

that is absolutely not true. you dont need a custom kernel to partition your sd card.
what you need is a class 4 and above memory card and a rooted phone.
here is a full and easy guide that i always use everytime when i want to partition my sd card to use link2sd

so you are saying that the apps and app data are biengs stored on ur internel memory not your sd card when using apps2sd
Sent from my ST27i using xda app-developers app
Link2sd moves tha app on my ext sd card (not the phone sd card) but i know that it doesn't move it completly, it moves only a part, the other still stay on the memory's phone (or phone sd card i don't know).
I read a some post on this and in order to move totally the app to the ext sd card I know is necessary create a partition on the ext sd card and have a custom kernel (i'm not really sure about this last thing because a user over here says that it doesn't necessary and stock kernel is ok);
I only want to know if there is a alternative method to move the full app on the ext sd card (like the script in the post of the development section, but i don't understand if it's the solution that i'm seraching) or the only way is create a partition on the sd card (using a mod kernel or not..).
tnx a lot!

hi there if you are a root user please open your root browser and nav to system/etc/vold.fstab rename this to .bak and replace it with the one from this post (you need to do a app backup from the internel memory to the sd card becuase i have have problems copying the card not everything transfers correctly if any1 can shed some light on the please let me no
once you have done this you need to reboot for it to change ( before you do this you need to backup all your apps from the internal memory so that once it has all been changed you an restore your apps

I am not sure,I haven't used it,here is the app thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262.
ok so in effect they do the same thing where as that apps wont change the mounting all it does is link the folders (like windows libarys) for each game folder what i have done changes the phones software to make it think that the sd card is internal storage so the sd card will be used for everything that interal storage would normaly be

Hi
I'm having problems mounting my sd card in cwm recovery. It's working fine however in my phone when I'm looking it under settings/storage. It's a 16gb class 6 mmc. I can also access files in it via file managers and listen music in it(sd card) using the walkman app. It's just that I can't use it when I'm installing zip from sd card. I'm on UHD 2.0.3 btw. Here's some troubleshooting I did:
1. Pulled out battery, reinserted sd card (Didn't work)
2. Mount sd card under mounts and storage in cwm (Didn't work)
3. Formatted the memory card (Didn't work)
4. Used another sd card. An 8gb class 4 mmc. (Worked! I can access zip from cwm)
Now my question is can this particular mmc still be saved? I'd like to solve this problem without having to cash out money. Thanks

Hi, I've searching around for mod that can mount my sdcard as internal storage.
I found the thread but i'm having no luck. Not working.
Do you guys know other mods ? Im using CM10 Nightly build btw
Thnks for your help

no, it's the only one, you're doing something wrong. it works
Directory bind is an alternative app you can try. Doesn't switch sdcards but moves game data to sd while fooling phone to believe they're still in internal. Works great for large games

Can you provide me link to that thread ?
I tried the mod again today and I found out that my sd card and internal storage have been swapped.
But when i see storage on setting, my internal storage is still unswapped, but my sd card become internal storage also.

Hello dear XDA people!
I'm pretty noobish when it comes to android tweaking, developing and stuff like that, I have rooted my phone (LG optimus L9 p76920h) but can't install any custom roms. But this isn't the problem.
The problem arose when I decided I wanted to play FIFA14 on my phone more than anything in my life. After many hours, I decided to partition my SD card and use the Link2SD method to have enough space for this game. I followed the steps on this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning but now my sd card seems to be completely screwed. I didn't hit apply after the 'format' command in minitool and accumulated all the tasks (make 20g fat32 primary, 10g ext4, 1g swap) and then hit apply. Now Windows does not recognize the sd card (it can see it but I cant explore it without formatting it, but windows nor any other program has been able to format it). The phone shows the 'blank sd card' error. I tried to command the prompt method, formatting a bunch of applications, but nothing works.
Have I completely screwed my sd card? or is there any hope? Since i followed the steps correctly, why did this happen?? I don't mind buying another sd card just so I can partition it well and play FIFA :angel:
If someone can help me I would be beyond happy. :good:
Keep it on safe place,,,
