Before I rooted and installed the Eclipse ROM I would download my favorite podcast to internal memory and listen to it. Now when I attempt to download it tells me there is no SD card! Is there a setting to make it download to internal memory and not to an SD card?

Anyone?
I know sometimes when running a custom rom the sdcard location çhanges. Like if youre running cmX its sdcard 0/1 or emmc/sdcard... check your download location. I had something similar happen but I had to upgrade my sdcard because I had an off brand 8gig class4 that would read only sometimes. Hope that helps a bit.

eclipse has sd card flip flop. so your external is labeled as internal. and internal external.

When I got my X2, the first thing I did was insert a 16GB SD card (then loaded some files/folders I had backed up, such as apk's) I noticed when I installed ROM Manager (Still don't know why I did that, but...led to something) that when I went to "Install from SD" that ROM manager was seeing my internal memory, not my SD card. So...I just uninstalled ROM manager, thinking it a fluke. Well, I've noticed now that...say if I'm editing an icon and am looking for a picture, or I'm looking for a file in general, my X2 is saying my SD card is my Internal Storage and vice versa. Issue occurs on stock ROM, Eclipse, Atrix port, so I know it's not my ROM.
Any thoughts?
im looking for a similar solution. everything saves to the internal memory instead of the sd card. apps that are supposed to back up stuff to the sd card just do it to the internal memory. i can access the sd card from the phone so it reconizes the sd card. i asssumed it was an OS bug, but its still going on after gingerbread. really need help with this.
If you are running a current version of ATRIX port, alien or eclipse they all have the sd card flip-flop preinstalled on them. There is a thread in android dev subforum with a zip to go back. The stock x2 labels the storage in a different way I guess and the developers prefer to change it. We are just lucky they left a way to change it back.

This is the reason they made the hack to change it in the first place.

I have a 16gb NT which I started out with CM7 running off the ext. sd card. Loved it so I decided to load it on the internal. Well after doing that, CM7 uses only the ext. sd card (8gb microsd) rather than the internal memory. I can still boot to CM7 without the ext. sd card, but I cannot install apps and what not.
I am familiar with android but I'm not expert. I feel like its so sort of partitioning issue, and I'm sure its been covered before but I just can't find the right answer.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

i have a 16gb sd card in and am running MeanRom 6.0, the problem i ham having is whenever i go into apps and try to move to sd, there is no option on doing so.
You can use titanium backup or android assistant.
Maybe the app you trying to move is not app2sd compatible try moving a different app like Netflix or Pandora. See if its work

If you use Titanium backup theirs two different places you can put your app in and that's internal memory and SD card. I believe what he's trying to ask is, can he put the app in the Ext SD card.
Theirs three memory places are phone has, Internal, SD card or Ext card. TBU only shows internal or SD card to save them in, not Ext SD card.

Hey all i have a problem, i cant instal rom cuz in CWM my sd card is phone memory WTF! In file manager my phone memory is SD card.
Really need help bro's.
Its supposed to be like that. Its like the internal SD card of the phone. For me, it never wipes the internal SD card when I installed a custom ROM. But I always made a backup. If you want to put ROM on external SD card, you can do so. And when you search for the ROM, the folder should be labeled as external SD

Screenshot?
Id est quod est
CM made this swap mid ICS is I remember. Was this to mitigate the encryption bug wiping out the internal?

My phone has alot of build in memory, so it emulates an SD card. But that runs out of space fast.
I have an SD card in it now, but it's mounted as sdcard2.
Can I disable the emulated SD card and make it goto the real sd card?
I can't move apps to the sd card because the sd card is emulated. Programs like link2sd don't give me the option to choose where I want to install to. It just chooses /mnt/sd card, which is the emulated card, not /mnt/sdcard2, which is the real one.

it does not emulate an sdcard. all android devices recognise internal memory as an sdcard. externals cards are recognised as sdcard2, external_sd or sd-ext. its perfectly normal for it to be like that

Reread my question. You didn't answer it.

I know this is about a month old, but I figured I'd chime in in case you're still having the issue.
No, there isn't a way to disable the SD card emulation. At least not that I've found. Only thing I found that works was to root my phone, partition a portion of a 32gig sd card and use Link2SD to use that as the default install location.
The instructions I followed:
http://www.noypigeeks.com/android/tutorial-a-guide-to-link2sd/
Again this requires a rooted phone, but seeing as you run the same phone I do (if your signature is accurate) it's not a problem. Just follow the instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40121670 Took me less than 10 minutes.
That seems to have worked, Thanks!

The only working way for me is to install cyanogenmod 13 which will give you the opportunity to mount your second storage (sd card) as internal storage (first).
