Hey guys I'm having a issue with my phone. When ever I use my file explorer (es file explorer) its not going into my SD card instead its going into my internal storage don't think its my SD card cause my gallery and music player read and play files from my SD card.
Is this a known issue how do I fix it?
Thanks.

With SGS2, your internal memory is in /sdcard and your actual external SD card is on /sdcard/external_sd
If you go to the /sdcard from the file explorer, you should find a folder called "external_sd", thats your SD card.
I went into the external SD folder and there's only a external SD executive file in there nothing else do I need to reformat my SD card?

Is there any way to rename the internal storage as something else, then rename the micro sd card from sdcard-ext to just sdcard? Just curious...Thanks in advance!

Best you could probably do is Symlink it. But that has its own set of problems, my guess is that the file systems are different which could cause an issue. And if you ever wanted to pull the sd card you would have to remove the symlink before hand. Also, names don't mean much to the OS, they are on /dev/ mounts and referred to by device addresses.
Im having issues locating my files on my external sd card, when i open es file explorer and go into the external_sd folder its empty, but my gallery is showing me all my pics from my sd card
any way to fix this or find my external sd card files?
thanks
are you on AOSP ROM? Does your computer show files on the external SD card?
It might in Removable folder?
Try look for it, im not sure
Are you going into /sdcard/external_sd?
That's where mine is...
I have this problem on my Original Galaxy Tab running ICS Alpha 3 ROM. The /sdcard/external_sd/ is empty. In my case, the external sd is mounted on /mnt/emmc/, which can only be accessed through Root Explorer.
Thank you mate, I just got an SD card yesterday and got baffled where it might be Too bad xda app doesnt support thanks feature :-(

Yeasterday I finally flashed CM9 and so far I love it but I have a rather annoying problem: I can't mount and access SD card from file managers. On the other hand, apps that use SD card (PowerAmp, Titanium backup, Apollo, Gallery etc.) read data without a hitch.
Right now, the only way to access the SD card's files is to take it out my phone and put in computer...
Please help...
Edit: does it have something to do with the fact I replaced CM9 kernel with Siyah 3.3.1.?

on aosp roms, the external sd card is mounted as /emmc/ and not /sdcard/external_sd/ which is why that folder might appear empty in file explorers

I am rooted stock right now and I remember with my sgs2 on sprint when I event into root explorer (the app) I would click sd card(which would be internal storage) then inside sd card would be ext sd and that would be my sd card. I can't get into my sd card in root explorer only my internal sd. Anyone else have this issue?

How do you get to that Storage configuration menu if you're not rooted?

You'll find the external SD card at /mnt/extSdcard.

You have to mount the sd card to get the media scanner to read the sd card.
Settings>storage>sd card>mount sd card.
Mount or unmount and mount to force the scan.
