[Q] Formatting internal SD card - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, looking to sell me vibrant and want to clean the internal SD card. What is the best way of doing this? Thanks
Sorry if this has been asked :-/

sd card and phone storage, unmount/format. be certain to move important files to pc first.

I wish I stumbled on this thread weeks ago. I had to do it manually when I had to send my vibrant back to tmobile.

EVO 3D App2sd and sd card

Hello!
I received my new phone(EVO 3d) and I just love this phone. Taking photos has never been better .
But to the point, I have a problem with app2sd and with sd card itself. When I moved apps to sd and in some time, those apps I moved didn't show anymore. I check in application tab and there they were but without icon of app just black img with android symbol and sd card next to it. How to solve this?
Another problem is with SD card. I bought gameloft games(Amazing spiderman) and it has 1.2gb download files. But phone got only 1gb primary storage. So I downloaded sd files over internet and moved on sd card and game launch without problem? How to does sd card works with this phone? I see when I connect my phone to computer there is only 1 disk for everything(with sd and internal). I had samsung galaxy s before so its a lot differend, because sgs had 5gb internal + 1gb storage + 16gb sd.
Hope someone can help
Cheers
The missing icon on app is something that was fixed with one of the Gingerbread updates about nine months ago. What ROM are you running?
When I connect my phone to my computer, it shows the full amount of my sd card as a drive. I do not even see the internal memory.
I have using stock 4.0.2 OTA since I got this phone 4 days didn't root yet cuzz this s-off etc. is kinda annoying to do(for now ).
However I fixed the problem. I was searching on google and someone mentioned that app2sd makes a folder on sd that you shouldn't delete! I did delete cuzz I needed space for downloading movie. So if anyone got this problem, dont delete folders in sd.
Cheers

[Q] why isn't my SD card working anymore?

Hi,
I two days ago rooted my phone (Samsung Galaxy S2). Before i rooted i transferred some files to my computer and i did same with my 4GB sandisk external SD Card, just incase.
So i took my SD card out and mounted it on my computer and then mounted it back to my phone and started to root.
After all was done i notice that all the apps that i had moved to External SD were gone (they were there but only as an android with the name "loading")
Now i can't even move new apps and games to SD card and i can't move them back since they "Aren't installed anymore"
What would cause this to happen, was it the rooting or the fact that i had unmounted the SD card before?
Also, now that i want to backup my stock ROM i can't do it on the SD since CWM doesn't recognize it. I can however backup to Internal, but i am planning to make a factory reset of my phone, so i can "start again" and it would be a great shame to loose my backup files.
Thank you for the time.
1st try your sd card in another phone to see if the problem is with the card or the phone.
If the problem with card replace it.
If it is with the phone, try rerooting your phone.

[Q] Installed rom without external SD card and now I need help

Hey guys I'm a noob here, which I'm sure you would have figured out later on as you read on. I use and LG G2X and i thought that today I would put a new rom onto it. I have been contemplating for a while and I really regret my decision. I didn't use an external SD card. I created a clockwork backup but since it isn't on the external SD I can't access it any of the files to return it to what it was. I tried my phone into my computer but it doesn't recognize my phone. I also can't use my camera because it tells me to insert an sd card. Is there any way I can mount my internal storage and trick the phone into thinking it is the external SD so i can at least just reset it? I would wipe the internal storage, which I'm not even sure will solve the problem, but that would remove all of my backup data from clockwork backup. Can somebody please help me in recovering the backup data so i can just reset the phone back to the horrid 2.3.4?
Also, I am running Eaglesblood ICS 4.0.3

S2's partitions?

Hello
I have a friend with a S2 and while looking thru the space he has and were apps are installed I see that there are sort of 2 partitions and one of them is set as a SD card! (There is no SD card inserted)
How does this work? And why does it suppose that one of the partitions is the SD card? When I try to move apps to the SD card, I cant because I think Android thinks it needs to copy to /sdcard but obviously there is no SD card inserted.
Thank you
This thread has a lot of good info re: partitions.

Swapping Micro SD Card

Hi guys,
I'm upgrading to a higher capacity SD card on my rooted Note 3 on Lollipop and I was wondering if there's a best practice for this. I have too many apps installed on the SD card in there currently to move them all over to internal storage and then move them back to the new card. I absolutely could uninstall them and reinstall them but I thought there may be a better way?
Thanks in advance!
Jeff
