Hey guys!
I have a problem and I search on the internet for days but I can't find a solution of this. So I have to write it down here. I hope someone can help me with this one.
So...the story. I had ICS on my phone, but I flashed with an official JB. So it's a stock rom, all i did with it just a rooting method. So it's stock but it's rooted. My problem is that all of my audio players (stock, winamp, early poweramp) can't see my sd card. All of my other apps can see it, but non of the audio players. I had a Samsung Galaxy S I9000 before the I9100, and that one and the Samsung Galaxy I9100 with ICS could see the external SD, because when I entered in my internal SD I could see a folder named ext-sd. It was a "link" to my external sd, so I can quickly access to it. Now on JB the folder is gone. I think the solution is that I make the "link" again. It's just a guess, I am a simply user so if you guys have an idea for this issue, please tell me cause it's a real pain in my ass :-S So all I want is my audio players can read my ext SD. Waiting fo the suggestions!
Have a nice day!

In the file manager goto /mnt/extSdCard
Ok I see the folder there with my file manager, but my problem is that my audio player can't see... I just see the "sdcard0". Unfortunately this is not solve my problem. But thank you anyway

I also had similar problems when I tested out your experience,in an another device I found that in JB the Music Player is not detecting from the ext-sd card or internal sd card, the thing I did was backup all data and formatted both the memory, I think it may be related to the filesystem settings but whatever a wipe and restore saved the day.
What i did
1.Made a nandroid backup
2.Copied all data from sdcard and ext-sdcard
3.Copied everything to PC
4.Performed complete wipe
5.Restored nandroid and copied data back as it was
6.Everything aright, crisis averted.
Thank you so much! I hope it gonna works. I will check it today!

Tough luck, then maybe the issue is with the media scanner?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I, after a series of reading has found that there is in fact a media scanner error in JB which causes similar problems like Gallery not updating, music player not updating, some of these people resolved this issue by using the app rescan media root to terminate media scan at boot time, and then by manually running scanner through that app to update your Gallery/Music Player, try this procedure, there is a flashable zip to fix this for deodexed roms.

Hey folks,
got a little problem with the latest HyDrOG3N-ICS
When I go into the camera app, a toast says "Your SD card is full" ... well and this is simply not true
I read somewhere I should format the internal SD card ... whatever that means, but I can find it in CWM.
Is there anything I have to do before or after that ... besides making a backup somewhere else than on my internal memory ?
Hey I have the same problem I cannot take photos, does anyone have a fix? Sorry I'm a massive noob, tried to search but found nothing

Install ES FILE EXPLORER and explore all of the folders in external and internal sd card, you will get to know how much space is being consumed. If its just a camera problem, switch to "ICS Camera+" app and then try.,

u can try formatting system in advance menu to make sure there are no left overs from your previous rom. i always do that when i install a new rom. always safe to avoid glitches like these. hope this helps
Hi,
I'm new and though I've watched the noob video I hope I'm in the right place, if not please dont get angry ><.
2 days ago I've flashed into stock rom for my SG3 (GT-i9300) back from my RGUI v5 Build number: MIUI-2.8.3 IMM76D / Kernal version: 3.0.38-Siyah-s3-v1.3.9c
Ask me why? because I've had some issues trying to install official MIUI v4 from the international website and always I get error: "Status 7" with a dead android inside. (Again, Why ? because I as hoping it would make my SG3 even smoother... more responsive)
So I though perhaps flashing it from a stock rom might work, so I used Odin and everything went fine, again ofcourse I got the error and went back to CWM to restore the backup i've made before flashing anything, I dont really mind about the error right now, I've seen similar posts about it and I shall continue investigating it, What's more important is on the next phrase.
Today I found out that all my photos were deleted, after restoring my RGUI v5 rom 2 days ago ofcourse....
I'm not sure how could the situation get any better though I remember previously flashing rom's that the SD card never being touched and I guess I was wrong.
What I wanted to ask is, I just got more CWM backup files on my external SD, does anyone knows if CWM backup restores user data aswell or should I just give up ?
Helpfull tips of how to restore it could be usefull (Oh lord, please spare me I beg you, I'll pray more).
Thanks in advance.
I've flashed hundreds of times on S1, S2 and now S3 and never lost any data or photos that are on either the internal or external sd cards.
Not sure but could it be that you somehow hit format sd card in cwm by accident?

Have you searched your internal and external storage? Maybe they were only stored on a different location so that the stock Gallery cannot find them?
Storages are either completely wiped or not wiped - but you don't only loose one particular folder

I tried to install 3rd party Gallery program which scans my SD's for photos and it could nothing.... Its probably not there.
I think all is lost unless one of my backups contains them.

Unfortunately cwm backups do not backup stuff on the sd card like photos. Looks like you've lost them man.

In a more optimistic view there are worse things, and although its quite hard to swollow all I've got left to do is say thanks to every one for trying...
Thanks.
Sorry, but this is a "Well Duh..." moment.... Flashing any stock rom through ODIN will always wipe the data partition on the internal sd card. You need to backup the internal stuff onto your PC. Only a stock firmware that has been modded will allow a non-wipe flash and you usually need to be rooted as it is no longer a stock rom.
You should be able to restore a nandroid backup of a stock rom too without wiping the internal sd card as this is only putting the system data back onto your phone...

It almost looked like a life saver case but it seems to target the external SD card only.
I can't seem to find a setting to switch into internal SD...
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

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

I have a 16gb external sd card, the fix is that i need to re trigger a media scan, but i need to see all apps to do so and i cannot find it in settings at all!
Install Titanium and wipe data of Media Storage. Before chech that there are no ".nomedia" in your music folders.

All apps is there, just swipe your hand to the left after the running apps
alternatively, you can use "Rescan Media Root" to retrigger the media scanner process.

hi!
try going to recovery and wipe all your caches/dalvik cache first.. if that does not help, perhaps doing a factory reset would do the job (don't forget to backup!)
I hope this helps cheers!

Poweramp and QuickPic uses their own scanners to look for files, while Gallery and Music player uses Android's built in Media Scanner. Grab Terminal Emulator and run "rm /storage/sdcard0/.nomedia /storage/sdcard0/Pictures/.nomedia /storage/sdcard0/Music/.nomedia". Clear the data of Media Storage, restart or force rescanning of your media with an app like Rescan Media or SDRescan.
P.S. When coming to any forum with a problem, it's nice to list what you've already tried to fix your problem so that people don't, you know, waste their time.
