today i noticed on my sd card and phoen storage settings thing
that my sd card hasn't used a single MB but my Phone Storage with 12.77 GB currently has 1.25GB left?
How is that possible? i'm sure i dont have 10GB worth of things in here, to make sure i went on my computer, connected USB and saw that none of my files were bigger than 300MB
Why is this and how can i fix it?
Also if i press Format SD Card, what will happen?
please help me out here guys!
NVM i formatted it and all my crap on the thing is gone, now it feels like starting over, AHH good.
That's maaad weird.
But if you plugged into USB storage mode and if you see that's showing the right storage size properties, then that must be bug of the rom you're using.
Edit: You should have made a backup, before. Althought maybe it wouldn't have worked

Probably because the rom. I imagine it's reading the external_sd folder space and lumping it with the internal since that folder is in the sdcard tree: sdcard/external_sd where it used to be the external was "sd"... Just a guess.
No I formatted on purpose I saved music files before doing it.
Somehow it feels way snappier!

DO NOT FORMAT IT, after i did, i experienced SO MANY ISSUES because on my internal i had a bunch of things that apps depended on.
If you don't mind ODIN and going to JFD then do it.
Do this if your going to ODIN, its worth it.
Settings > SD Card and Phone Storage > Format (forgot which one) then you'll get all the space back then ODIN back to STOCK then it'll put all the files you need back on there, and you'll be good.
DONT just delete it and think your all good,
in your internal theres the update.zip which made me pull my pubic hair out (literally)
IF you dont want to do it, which i don't recommend, just go to settings > sd CARD AND PHOEN STORAGE > and click format on SD CARD or PHONE STORAGE and click confirm, and it'll be done.
When I choose the phone as mass storage I cannot see the contents of the internal SD. On my PC it lists the internal and external but does not show space available for the internal and I cannot go into it. If I use the file explorer in android(in the phone) I can see everything. How do I fix it?
Try switching the mounting setting from Mass Storage to None and back. It worked for me, at least.

I also noticed that some of the apps that were there also disappeared. After a reboot they all returned. Weird.....
My phone doesn't recognize the internal SD card whatsoever. I go to settings > storage and under the internal SD it says the size is "unavailable". I was wondering if there is some way to possibly re-format it or something so that the phone can actually recognize it. Any help would be appreciated!

Are you on the new version of the siyah kernel? And to format it, go to storage then format. On my phone on entropys kernel, the storage is listed as USB, instead of sd.

My mistake, it is labelled as USB storage. The kernal is the stock one as far as I know. What would formatting the the internal storage do though? Thanks
Also, forget about formatting because I just realized that option is grayed out too.. Unless formatting from recovery mode would work
Right now, my vibrant can't mount the internal sd so im not able to use the internal sd at all. I tried flashing another rom, like from ICS Passion>ICS Slim but it didn't do anything. If I go into recovery, I can see all my files that I put on the internal sd before my phone couldn't detect the internal SD. I screwed the internal sd up because one of my apps weren't working right, and i deleted it using root browser. Afterwards, my phone couldn't detect it. If i go into the build.prop, it shows nothing about the internal sd and it being mounted so im not sure what to do right now. Should I try formatting the SD? My computer doesn't detect the internal SD and will ADB help? Any help will be appreciated

Did you wipe when moving from ICS Passion to ICS Slim? Are you restoring anything with TI or recovery when you do?
I wiped but I cant use TI because I dont have the internal sd mounted

Do you have a removable SD card you can try and see if that will mount?
My external SD card mounts but not my internal.

Can you go in storage settings and hit Menu and hit Storage configuration and see what you have checked in there?
Well I'm in storage but when i hit menu there's nothing there. All I see is...my internal storage? I thought the SD card that you put in was your external storage?...Well thats 2GB, then its my usb storage that cant mount? Sorry, I guess its my usb storage thats the problem because my internal storage and my sd card show something. its just my USB storage thats unable to mount. If i press "Mount SD Card," then it says "preparing sd card" and then "calculates" my apps photos and everything. But after that it stops, and goes back to "Mount SD Card". Its like my phone doesn't know how to mount it now?

Try heading into recovery, plug in your USB, and go into Mounts and hit Mount USB storage, see what happens.

Can you access anything from your computer?
I can access the external SD card, but not the 16GB one
Edit:Nevermind, I can access it and look at all the files that i put on there. It says something about 0 bytes free and FAT32

When you tried changing roms, did you wipe everything or just data/cache?
I did wipe data and wiping cache.

Perhaps try wiping and installing CM9. It just stopped when you removed an app? Which app?
Alright, I'll try cm9. I was deleting swype, and after i did that by root browser it didnt mount anymore.
Edit: I remember i did try flashing a cm9 nightlie before i tried flashing ics slim and i got the status 7 error
Maybe try odining back to stock and going back then?
That's difficult, because I can't go to download mode easily. If i use like terminal emulator and try to reboot to download mode, nothing happens. Yesterday, my phone fell out of my pocket and when that happened the battery fell out. I put the battery back in and pressed some stuff I suppose, and I got into download mode. Im not so sure how I did that though...

You can't get into download mode from the terminal right now. What you gotta do is shut down, hold down VOL-Up and VOL-Down at the same time while you plug in the USB.
Okay I did a dumb thing and hit factory reset from bootloader instead of hitting recovery. So now only twrp folder shows and I have to flash from my eternal sd card. When Im in the Rom (CM10) I have no internal memory. I recieve a need sd card message when I try to download from the browser and under storage settings it says mount sd card under internal but It never mounts. And in cm10 I cannot mount usb storage. Sooooo.... wth? Should I run an RUU or is there a simpler or less painful solution? HELP! Thanks!
P.S. Is this the answer from the F.A.Q?
"Help I flashed a new ROM/update/script and now I can't access my internal/external SD card Its OK, the SD card has been corrupted but you can reformat it with recovery itself or by using recovery to mount the card and formatting it by PC"
