Hello all.
I just recently transferred my audio files from sd card to external sd card. Some of the files have been transferred but the others 2 gb worth have disappeared "on route".
Does anybody know where they could be, or if there is a way to recover these files.Thank you.
others 2 gb worth have disappeared "on route"
Check the route see if any have gone elsewhere was it a USB transfer .
Try RECUVA to see if you can recover missing files from phone .

Thanks for the reply. I have just run Recova and hasn't found anything on the ext sd card. I would like it to read the internal sd card but it can't do that.
Just to clarify. I moved 2gbs of music from the internal to the external sd so as to create more space. I did this via pc.
Some of the music arrived ok but a lot didn't, and it is not showing up in the internal or external sd card...

New Atrix, unmodded. Tested on default storage setting set in either internal storage, or sd card.
16g sd card.
Card contains music, books and pictures.
File manager of the phone can see it and folders on it just fine, music player can see music files on it just fine.
Market bought music player( Power Amp) does not see SD card, it can only see internal storage as SD card.
Cool Reader- same- it thinks internal memory is SD card.
Neither can browse to the SD card.
Both apps worked with droid x and nexus s phones succesfuly before.
Apps that have ability to browse internal memory (tiny player and fbreader)- can go to /sdcard-ext/ and find files there.
Is there any way to make sure that apps, that are built to use SD card for their media would be able to see and use SD card, instead of "virtual" SD on the Internal Storage?
Thank You

Hi,
I had the same issue with a app called Slideshow Bob. I came from a Samsung Captivate and the file system was such that the external card was seen as a subdirectory of the internal card. I never had a problem with this arrangement in apps. However, the Atrix sees the external card as completely separate and some apps simply could not "see" the external card. My solution? I used a different slideshow app. Not exactly the ideal solution, but I had spent enough time trying to work around it. I don't know how other android devices have the external card arrangement, but this may be a bigger issue than we'd like until app developers change their apps or Motorola decides to change it's storage arrangement. Hope this helps.
Thank you for your answer,
using different apps is a work around.
I used different one- moved my content to the internal storage.
Both work.
What I realy would like to see is - those apps work as intended, the way they do work in most android phones from Droid to Nexus S.

Has anyone tried to replace the Music folder on internal storage with a symbolic link to the Music folder on external? Not sure if Android supports symbolics or not...
Should have known it would'nt be this easy. Tried it on existing SD and found that symbolic links are not supported on FATx. Reformatted my SD to EXT3/2 and booted back up. I get a SD format not recognized error.
Ok, so i have my atrix. Now i dont really get this part.. when i use efile for instance or anything like it. I already had a mnt/sdcard with stuff on it before i even had a sd card. All i had was the internal memory the phone came with. Why is it under sd card?
So i have 2 folders
sdcard
and
sdcard-ext which is my new card i take it because there is nothing in it yet.
Question should i transfer everything to my actual sd card? like backup it all? any info on how to do this or if i should is a good idea. Should i keep my internal memory clean as possible? thanks.
the atrix treats the internal 16gb memory as an SD card hence the SD card name. Now to differentiate between the Internal and External the other is called SD-EXT. Basically what ever you place in the SD slot, be it 16gb 32gb etc, it will show as the SD ext. Where you palce your files is up to you. By default most Apps will use your SD folder instead of SD EXT (titanium backup for example)

So how would i go about transferring everything from my internal to my external sd card? Should i do it and can it be done? Or should i just leave it how it is? Plus for titanium backup should i backup my stuff on my external card for that or what? im kinda confused. ANy help would be appreciated. thanks

Well you can use your computer to move files if you place your phone in mass storage mode, or if you are rooted you can use a program like root explorer. The only things you should need to transfer would be backups of programs or music. everything else is fine on the internal storage. The only things I put on my actual sdcard are my music and documents. I would not worry about transferring anything, internal storage is really just as safe as an sdcard unless you brick your phone.
I know that apps are stored on a 2G partition, but is there a way to to move some of them like games into 11.5G internal usb storage instead of external SD card?
Thanks

i'm looking for this answer too.
i feel safer keeping it in the internal USB rather than the external SD card,
the external sd card might get corrupted, or accidently disconnected in a small drop or thud.
i've read other threads in this forum, and google "move apps to internal usb instead of external sd" it leads me to other forum where there is no clearn answer.
so far these are the few that i've tried. remove external sd, and try to move apps to sd (hoping it will move to internal usb in the absence of the external sd), but fail. tried with rom toolbox with external sd remove, but still fail to move to internal usb.
so jje, when you say try searching, question been ask many times.
do you mean there is NOOO way it is possible to move apps to internal USB?
is this a conspiracy to force us to buy external SD card?
On further investigation, my post appears to be incorrect.
Hello oinkylicious,
thank you for your reply.
but i'm sorry to let you know you are mistaken.
the
Settings --> Applications --> Manage applications --> On SD card, tick boxes.
"SD card" refers to the EXTERNAL SD CARD.
i tried moving several big apps(>100MB in total), checking the task manager, shows that system storage reduced, and SD card increased. while USB storage did not change at all.
Hello there guys,
i tried to install some apps but i could not, the phone show insufficient memory.
So i opened aplications-manage applications and unsuccessfully tried to move the apps to SD CARD (which i believe is the internal storage of phone, i don't have SD Card). I was surprised with this because there is plenty of space available. any idea what can i do? i cant install apps and neither transfer them to SD.
THanks.
Hey, hmm yeah i can see how that would be an issue. lol
But the SD card referees to an external memory card not your internal memory.
You can install a micro sd card (up to 32GB) into your samsung galaxy s2 through the back. You'll have to open up the back cover
My External SD Card was working fine with no problems until a few days ago i had this problem. Any file that i'd download/copy/move to the SD card it would get corrupted. No matter what it is Music, Pics, ROM files Anything! They'll work fine on Internal storage but as soon as i move it to External SD, It'd corrupt please help!:crying:

If your external sd card has guarentee, i recommend going to service. Other then that, you can try searching sd card formatting tools on google and try formatting it.
