Good day all,
I have a question,
I am using the AOKP_Bezke ROM and it's a good ROM, I only experience a difficulty which for I don't understand.
For some awkward reason it only recognizes my 11 GB internel (USB) storage but It cannot find my SD CARD.
This is a huge disadvantage for me because I got allot of memory on my SD CARD, it's just strange why it doesn't recognize it. Same goes when I connect my phone to my laptop, it only sees my internal storage.
My phone only recognize my SD Card when I use my stock ROM.
Can someone help me out please? I am in a state of confusion.

Switch to MTP mode or if u r using mass storage mode then use multi mount sdcard from play store to mount both sdcard.

Use a file explorer
Use a file explorer with root access (ES File Explorer works for me) and look in /mnt/emmc. AOKP ROMs are a bit funny with sd cards.

Thanks for your answer, but that is probably the worst app that I have used on my phone.
It crashes immediately.

I know this already, it's just that my phone ain't using it.
When I check my storage it only says "Internal storage > 1GB "USB Storage > 11 GB" but no where do I see my SD CARD.
I cannot manage my SD card via my phone nor use it, nor do I see it on my laptop when I connect my phone to it.
What can be the issue here?

my gtablet recognizes the folder sdcard as a folder in the internal memory and the microsd as sdcard2 for some reason. when i plug it into my computer, i cant access the actual sdcard2 folder, so i cant access the micro sd. anyone have any experience with this? or any fixes?
thanks a lot. im running tntlite 4.4.0 on it.
That is how it is supposed to be on most ROMs...not just TnT
Pull out the microSD card, plug it into an adapter and plug the adapter into your computer. Then you will be able to read and transfer files!
Or just copy whatever you need to the SDCARD and use a File Manager to transfer them to SDCARD2 once you are on the tablet...
Right now, there is no way to mount both SDCARD and SDCARD2 at the same time to your computer via the tablet
Actualy there are a few apps on Market that do exactly that; some are add supported so you can try for free. Search for SDCard Mount or MutiMount.
I use the add supported Multi Mount SD-Card. Works fine.
SDcard2 dead!

I'd be careful using these. I got one out of the market that allowed you to access the external sd card. Everything went fine. I copied some of my music to the card and then disconnected from the pc. When I went to look at the sdcard2 folder via RootExplorer, I found that 2.39 GB of my 32GB card was used but could not access anything on the card. Now, my g-tab refuses to even see that I have an external card installed and I can't even get the format option in settings to attempt to rescue the card.

eek that sucks. which one did you use?
get ESfile explorer. you can move stuff back and forth between sdcards or a server location. you can also copy from lan location to sdcard2
is that on the market or somewhere else?
it also is installing all of my games and stuff to the tablet internal memory. liek the dungeon defenders stuff.. all of it is downloaded onto the tablet sdcard folder, not onto the sdcard (sdcard2). anyone have any workaround for that?

I'll respond and say it was Multi Mount SD-Card. That's the one I tried, with the same results. I can not get the GTab to read an external card at all. Can see card fine on PC though. I would surely stay away from that one.
I use file explorer to move to the SD Card. THis is a pita and a waste of time. The fastest thing to do is to put it in an SDCARD reader and place it in the PC.
This would be a nice fix and an app worth a buck or two.

Before when I move the installed apps using ap2sd or appmonster by default it used to move to the internal USB Storage(11GB) of Galaxy S2. I recently did a wipe re-flash of ROM and after that when I move the installed apps- by default its going to the external SD card I have installed which is 8GB. Now the internal storage is not used at all. Is there anyway I can fix this issue without going for another reflash? Any help is highly appreciated!

Nope it doesn't... That's exactly what the problem is... Unable to move apps to the internal USB (SD) memory... It looks for an external SD card instead and gives an error...

I think I'm having the same problem.
Only noticed it this morning when I tried to download a new app (existing update fine) and it failed, stating that it was unable to save to USB storage. I also can't mount USB storage in CWM recovery mode.
Did you or anyone else find a solution?
Well it appears that my internal storage is knackered.
Booted into CWM and tried to 'mount USB storage', but am greeted with 'E:Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory).
If factory reset and flashing a stock ROM is necessary, then I can do that. But, if the storage is inaccessible, am I even able to do that? Would opting to 'Erase USB Storage' in the settings>storage menu be of any use?
sameproblem here...
ok i solved the problem...
i write an Answer Threat
I had something similar when I installed a ROM with an older CWM. I lost my SD card but could access it from the PC. I copied a backup over to the internal memory and recovered.
how about just unmount the external SD card then try to install again?
Unable to move apps to internal usb storage
I am also facing the same issue.Somebody plz let me know any workaround for moving apps to Internal USB storage. Under settings>application manager> there is an option to move apps to external sd card only. Is it possible to install/move apps to internal usb storage (around 11.5 GB). Please help.
Phone - Galaxy s2 (At&t sgh i777)
ROM - Shostock3 rom (android 4.1.2)
I have mounted an external sd card and using link2sd to move apps to it. One thing I noticed that with sd card mounted, when I move apps to external sd card, some part of the app moves to the usb storage and also the app size increases after doing so. However, still there is no direct way of moving/installing apps to usb storage without an external sd card.

I put a 16g micro sd in the card slot inside the holder for an sd card. I formatted the card so there should be nothing on it. Every time I turn on the tablet, it wants me to transfer the files but there are no files to be transferred. How do I stop that and how can I start using the card for storage?
Thank you,
You need to do abit of reading. The external sd slot is used to transfer files between sd card and the internal And visa versa. There is apost that is looking into it. I am eargerly waiting to use the sd card to use as extra storage.
agree

That needs to get fixed right away. Seems very silly to do that, but Sony is known for doing silly things.
Now that the device is rooted, this should be doable by one of our more talented members.

Your other option is to check the setting for the File Transfer app and choose not to be prompted every time, and then to stop using File Manager and start using something like Astro.
If you're using Astro File Manager, you can change the folder paths in the settings so that External SD Card leads to /mnt/sdcard2 and USB Storage leads to /mnt/usbdisk1 and you'll be ready to go.

Are you saying that this has been confirmed and working successfully?
Would this be a permanent adjustment, meaning it wont reset to default on system bootup?
Hello,
I did bought orginal Samsung mincro SD card 32gb class 10. I did put inside to the phone and first what i did after phone did show me space 29gb i did format it from phone options in settings of storage. After format i did reboot my phone just in case. Now i did plug in phone to my pc and all do work fine. My pc see Internal and external storage on my phone. After when i did copy files to my external memory of my phone and do unplug micro usb i cant see my external sd card on my phone. In apps like winamp/RockPlayer/BSPlayer/ES File Explorer...all what i can see is only sdcrad which is internal memory. I cant see external memory at all.
Best thing is when i do put movie anywhere on external sd card by usb/pc and run build in samsung app "Video Player" its see video form external sd! I dont know whats going on and i did have S2/Dell Streak/Note and never had problem like this before.
Any help would be nice.

When i do swich on winamp there is music from external sd card, when i do swich on build in video player i do see videos form external sd card but there is no way i can explore external sd card using any of explore apps or any other app where you can search files by folders. There is no Root folder or mnt.
Oki small update. I just did give a go to one more app "Root browser lite" and i can see all folders and sys files. Looks like problem is with moust of apps which can't handle way of G3 works with external sd card. I'm right?

Yes you're right. The s3 and other devices that have like 16/32 GB internal memory uses part of it for system and the rest is mounted as "sdcard"when infact it's internal memory. In addition to this sdcard there's the real sdcard which is mounted as external-sdcard. Many apps are programmed to look for only sdcard and not ext-sdcard. For such programs creating a symlink using the above tool that I posted will help it "see" contents/folders of the ext-sdcard.
As you mentioned some programs can and some can't browse/see ext-sdcard - if it's absolutely necessary, creating a symlink is the only option I can think of.
Hello,
I have installed Cyanogenmod version 10.1 on my S2.
The rom looks good. I only have one problem. I can't access my external SD card.
When I go to system, storage I see there the SD, and how much of it is filled, but I can't access it in any way nor any installed sw.
I have a backup that is on my external SD, when I want to do restore, I can't since it will not see the external sd.
Can anyone please help me?

Go inside storage and there u will find the sdcard0 and sdcard1
For me it says sdcard (Internal sdcard), and the extsdcard (external sdcard). But you can find them in the Storage folder.
Happy New Year.
Thank you friends,
I might have not understood you all...when I go to file manager or mybackup-pro, I can't see the external sd card (nor the sw see's it, nor I with the file explorer).
Only when I got to system/storage I see that the device see's it (I can see the storage of the sd and how much is filled).
However, I can't access it, nor my sw installed.
Please let me know how you resolved it?
Thank you,

Ignore the built in file manager and install "File Manager" from Google Play and use that instead.
Same problem here.
Using another file manager will not solve the problem of Apollo crashing if you have music files on that external sd card.
The whole system can not access the card.
In Settings->Storage it say: SD Card -> Available XX GB
But there is no statistics about what is on there.
The whole system is not able to pick anything up from that sd card without having root access.
Why?!
Go to recovery and fix permissions.
Sent from my digital submersible hovercraft.
Thx, but that is not working, dude :/
Seems like Apollo was crashing because of one of my songs on the SD card.
The other situation is still there. No detailed information about the content of the external sd card in settings -> storage.
Maybe it is default behavior?!
Unable to see External SDCard
Via Win 7 PC, using USB, I can see 3 Drives on Motorola Droid Razr 1/Moto Drive 2/Internal Storage 3/External SDCard (32gb) I can see and access all files on any of these drives.
Once disconnected from USB, I go to Storage and CAN see the same above. However, when using any File Manager software, and not connected via USB, I can't even see the EXT. SD Card, and therefore can't access any files on that drive/card.
I recently received official JB pggicial OTA from Moto.
simpleeeeeee!
i too had this problem! galley, and music players were not able to access the data of memory card! i just put back all the data again after formatting the memory card! and it workedddddd... so simple!
hit thanks if i helped:victory::victory:
I had the exact problem. All I did was go into the "General Setting" from Settings, and changed the app from Safe mode to Root Access Mode. Hope this helps.

Then mount sdcard0 and sdcard1
