Recently I can't put any apps on my SD Card. I installed a custom ROM awhile back, but it bricked. And now, when I try to install or even update an app, it says there is no space. When I go to settings and check my storage space, my SD card has all space available, but it says Application space is 0.00B.
How can I fix this?

Hmm. If you're rooted, I'm assuming, then use Titanium Backup to back up all of your apps and data, then use this link:
http://androidspin.com/2010/08/09/how-to-restore-or-recover-your-samsung-vibrant/
To odin back to stock, this will fix all of your issues, then just reflash a custom rom, preferably a newer one like Nero or Axura.
I have had an intermittent (and now present) problem on 1.26, 1.57 and now 1.83 (with and without my gladiatrix p-ROM).
I cannot get the internal phone storage to unmount(!) I have tried the usual method with "USB Connection/USB Mass Storage" - the external card unmounts but the internal does not - and the internal storage cycles between "unavailable" to the amount of storage free about every 30 seconds. All the drivers are properly installed.
I've tried "Unmount the internal phone storage" from within settings/SD Card... - a message says it is unmounting but it never does.
I've done multiple reboots (this used to help but doesn't anymore).
When I change the USB connection to "Motorola Phone Portal" or "Windows Media Sync" - they are both seemingly able to access the internal phone storage and all drivers install successfully.
My real goal is both to backup the internal phone storage but also to use Documents To Go (for which synchronization seems to get harder and worse with every new version) which can only access the internal phone storage.
Something seems corrupted - does anyone have a similar problem or any suggestions?
I know this thread is super old, sorry about that, but I have this same issue and it just started today. Anyone have a solution for this?
I started this thread and went back to a clean 183 cwm and that didn't help. Given the rarity of the problem I'm beginning to think hardware more than software?
I had this problem too and what I did was to reboot my atrix and as soon as it would let me in the options to unmount I did and it let me...then I reformatted it .

Had the same problem but downloaded the app Auto Mount from the market and it works great now

I tried automount and another market app i found called SD mount (or something like that) and neither worked for me. I can easily mount the external SD but the internal SD/storage remains inaccessible except using root explorer on the phone itself. Maybe I'll finally RSD to the 2.3.4 release (I'm on a themed 1.83 right now) and this will go away, but I'm beginning to think it won't.
I bit the bullet, unlocked the bootloader, installed the pudding 1.83 then upgraded to a GB based build. Right after the SBF load the internal storage would unmount fine. Definitely some sort of odd corruption that is not hardware related. I don't know if this helps anyone else with this problem since an SBF and a clean rebuild is a PITA.
Copied a couple of GB of photos to my External SDCard.Rebooted phone, nothing showed up,but all videos and music that were on the card were still showing in Video Player,Gallery and Music Player.So I unmounted the card via settings ,remounted .now nothing shows up at all.
If I browse through Root Explorer I can see all my media,and when I look in Settings/Storage the card shows up.
I thought perhaps it was the card(only bought last week) could be the problem, so I stuck my old MicroSD card in which has some media on it, same thing.Any ideas?
Should have said.When I take a photo it is stored on the micro SD card.That works OK
Is it just teh gallery that causes an issue?
If so try what this guy suggests here to do a rescan of the media:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27787690&postcount=3
No, nothing shows up.No videos, no music and no photos
I decided to reset the phone (from Settings) .Set it up again and all seems well again
Today I added some more albums to my external SDCard.Again, after doing so,none of the new mp3s showed up.Removed SDCard, and like before, NOTHING on the SDCard shows up.So I thought I would do what I did last time and wipe the phone.This time though it didn't do the trick,and nothing is showing up.Even reinstalled the original stock ROM,still nothing.
Have tried with a couple of different cards with the same outcome, nothing on SDCard appearing on phone(I can see the card in My Files and browse all the individual files OK).
Assuming there is something wrong with the phone , I guess all I can do is return to store, however I did unlock the phone using Voodoo Unlocker.Can this be reversed?
Can anybody help??
Either with the SDCard problem or know whether the Voodoo Unlock is reversible??
TIA
This problem has resurfaced.Installed Omega 8.1 Rom .Opened Music Player., nothing there.Same for Gallery and Video Player.
The thing is I downloaded PowerAmp,added the folder that has my music in and it works fine. Open QuickPic and all my pictures are shown, as are my videos which I can play in Video Player.
I can transfer a song to my internal memory, it shows up. Transfer it back to extSDCard, it disappears.
After flashing a stock ROM the problem is still happening.
The strange thing is ,the phone recognises there is an external card.When I open the camera app, I get the pop up asking me if I want to store my photos on the sdcard.I do, and it works fineand any picture I take on the phone shows in Gallery).It just seems to be a problem with any media.Its doing my head in.
Please save me from having to go buy an iPhone4s, because as boring as it may be, it does,as they say "just work"
This sounds software-related to me. Have you tried flashing a stock ROM and testing without installing any applications to the device? It's possible that one of the apps you have installed is causing some sort of problem.
It is still possible that the external SD card has a fault though. Have you tried a different one? Additionally, why are you using the external card rather than the internal memory?
All roms for me never find video or mp3 on external sd card .
Notable that Kies places Video in DCIM/Camera folder if you ask it to transfer filers to ext sd card and likewise music on ext card is media folder .
jje
yes, tried 3 sdcards.
Have 10GB of music. 2GB of photos. So I need to use the external SDCard ,as I would already be out of room.
This has worked fine.The last week or so there has been no problem.I have been flashing ROMS, adding media to SDCard with no issue.
How about apps? Have you tried doing this with no other applications installed?
I havent, but I am going to do a full wipe flash again without installing any apps.

If you do that and it works ok, just install one app at a time until you find the culprit. Then uninstall it and email the developer!

Well that cant be right can it. There surely would be little point in having an external SDCard in that case.You cant put apps on it, you cant put music or video on it? (well not if you want to use stock apps)
Well, that didnt work.Fresh install of ROM, no apps installed. No music/Photos.
So thats stock ROM, Omega 7.1 (last known working with that ROM) and Omega 8.1 flashed probably half a dozen times over the last 24+ hours.
The only music and vid that appear are the Samsung installed demo ones.

Weird. I have music and media stored on my external SD card, and everything reads and functions fine (on Wanamlite using Ninphetamin3).
Have you tried changing kernels?

No I havent.If it is something I should try I will have to have a read up. I have only rooted and flashed ROMs, never changed Kernels.
Edit:
I have used drag & drop when phone is connected to PC, I have used a card reader.Card has been formatted in the phone, in the card reader.
I have used Easy Phone Sync ,just tried Kies and that syncs fine to the external card.
It surely must be a software problem.

Definitely try flashing a new kernel - have a look through the dev sections.
It's worth reformatting the sdcard in the phone as well, using the phone software to do it - that should eliminate any weird permissions-related problems.
I've been running MIUI V5 for some weeks now, and two days ago I tried taking a picture when all of a sudden the camera didn't open and showed an error saying something like "Internal memory not found" or something. I tried going into the Gallery and there's only pictures from my external SD card but nothing from the pictures I've taken or anything that was inside the phone's memory. I checked Google Music and the music I've downloaded from my Library isn't there neither. Apps keep running normal, but even my Root Explorer app can't find the phone's Internal memory. I tried going into recovery and couldn't wipe it either, it said "Can't mount emmc". I even tried to Odin flash stock 4.0.3 but still the same thing. What can I do to fix this?
Hi, I have a problem with my D618. I'm running CM13 with the adoptable storage option, and I seem to have some problems with it.
I can't seem to be able to download anything, I've tried updating apps from the store and it tells me I can't (error 963), if I try to download a new one it just gets stuck on "download pending". I can't download from the browser either. I can't seem to be able to copy files from my PC to the SD (I assume that when using adoptable storage the files copied go to the SD), but I was able to copy from the SD to the PC. I can't take pictures or screenshots either, or view pictures from my gallery. I am able, however, to listen to audio files I have on the SD. All apps seem to be working ok otherwise (except Instagram, but that's probably an unrelated problem that has been happening since a few days ago).
I tried rebooting the phone but I didn't try anything else just in case I may mess up my SD.
I noticed the problem earlier today after trying to download an apk and failing, if that's any help.
Edit: I tried this and it didn't work
Edit 2: Can't format the SD back to portable, ejecting and then mounting it again doesn't work either
Edit 3: Turned off phone, removed SD, tuned it on, inserted SD, formatted as portable and when the phone rebooted it told me the SD is corrupted. Now I'm trying to format it as internal again.
Edit 4: The format time-outed, I'll try to use another SD card
Edit 5: The other SD card isn't working either. I think I'll try a factory reset...
