Im not new to dealing with roms and whatnot but its been all 'lil while. I've got the latest cm9 up and running BUT my internal sd is showing roughly 450M left and that's not even close to being right. Going into settings/storage it shows that I'm using about 3 gig and some change. Why is the rest of my storage not showing up?
A triple wipe of data/cache/dalvik--->flash rom--->wipe cache/dalvik--->fix permissions--->REBOOT was done for the install so my @sshole was clean before doing the flash, just for added info.
Sounds like the SD card is partitioned. Any way this could have happened?
I did a es file explorer card analysis and found my problem. Not really a problem but I guess cm9 doesn't show card usage very well under settings/storage. Es file explorer broke it down proper and I found my 4shared folder hogging the space. User error I guess
Thanks to anyone who gave a single thought to my problem..

This morning, my PDA suddenly showing many missing programs, all that I installed on SD Card disappeared!!. When I use File Explorer, it only shows that I have only 2 folders, Mail Attachment and Temp.. where are the rest??
The weird thing is that when I look at the capacity (using card reader)... it shows that I only have 300MB Free space, 700MB in use, which is about right. But why can't I see them? These two folders are only less than 1MB. Can anyone give me suggestion what to do? I'd like to retrieve all that are in my SD Card.
All comments would be greatly appreciated. Thx
it happened to me when i used my moto.. n i simply used a file recovery software n got all my data back.. it happens when u lose the mft...
Does it mean I have to start thinking of buying new SD Card? Why is this happening? corrupted SD Card?...
might be caused by a memory hole.. but... cant say specifically till u test all the MUXed bits of the card...
yeah.... Sometime My all of Data also lost...
too bad...
Same happened to me, but i go t to my data thru a card reader.... Had to hardreset for the prophet to see the data again...

it happened to me to!
It's happpened to me last week. When I inserted back SD card, card couldn't be read and asked me to format. I check with Pc it's also same. What I frustated most, My 2GB SD card becomes 1GB after reformating. What's wrong and how to gain back my previous 1GB?
This is really weird.. I think my SD card needs to retire.
After playing with it, I just couldn't bring back all the files and folders in my SD card, so I decided to reformat it and reinstall everything back again. After I finished reinstalling everything.. I was happy and I soft reset the SD Card again and boom, everything disappeared again, only Mail Attachment and Temp folders that were there..
This SD card is going to waste bin.
My S2 has just got a really big problem for 2 days. I can access the internal storage (which is 11Gb) and see or copy all the files to my laptop's HDD. But the problem is that I can't edit any of those files (by using apps in the phone).
When I tried to delete some files, it told me those files is deleted but they're still there, unchanged. When I tried to create a new folder, it said "Creation Failed". The same things just happened on every file manager apps I've ever used. :crying:
Moreover, I can't access gallery now, it said "Not enough space. Delete unnecessary items..." although I have 6 free Gb in my internal storage.
I'm pretty frustrated now. Any ideas would be highly appreciated
There is really no helps
Rooted?
Rom?
Maybe install/flash again
So i have been having this problem for a few months now, and its driving me crazy.. I've read every thread on XDA about sdcards, but nothing seems to apply here
When I reboot, my phone launches External2Internal so my 32GB SD can be used as my internal drive, and I've used it fine for a very long time.. but recently the sd card just disappears after some period of time. it seems to happen whenever my phone goes to sleep or the screen goes off and is locked, i suppose
after I reboot the phone it works fine again..
I quite think its from a malicious program.. but I cant be sure
recently, I installed a bunch of sd card tools to rescan, remount, test etc.. and I also installed an External2Internal update... and after all that, the sdcard contents appear to have been deleted, even after multiple reboots, when viewed with ES File Explorer.. However all the contents appear in good condition when viewed with Total Commander.. .
and since all that tinkering, because the sd card seems on some level to be deleted, programs like avast are getting corrupted errors on their virus scans, such as "invalid context during scan".. an error it doesnt get when the sdcard is unmounted completely, but only now that it mounts as appearing mostly empty to es file explorer and probably most other programs.
so it seems like one of the USB tools or the External2Internal update has done something malicious to my card... or maybe it was a last ditch effort by some dorks malicious code from a program i deleted in trying to get this all sorted out
anyone else having this problem or know how it can be fixed?
and I prefer to try and find out what is causing the problem and fix that problem, rather than just reformatting the card or buying a new card, since i'm sure it will just happen again someday
thanks

This happens to me as well, the only difference is that I don't use External2Internal but the jellybean option "default write disk: SD card"
Hi,
another forum recommended I register and ask my question here. I am not a techie. I don't know what I'm doing. This is probably a basic question, but with all the googling I've done, I can't find the answer!
Here goes, and please be easy on me:laugh:
My GS3 was running really slow, running down the battery, just in general not running as well as I remembered from a year before buying it. I decided to back it up, reset it and start from scratch. The phone has run AWESOME! One problem though; when it updated, it installed 4.3. Ever since, I can't do anything with my SD card. I get an error that the SD card is full, and if I look in the settings, it shows zero space on the SD card. If I plug it into my mac, it shows like 12gb of space.
I used to use Android File Transfer and that doesn't work anymore. I recently tried Airdroid, which works great for the internal storage, but tells me that my SD card is full.
Help!
PS I tried to post a link to a screenshot of what storage on my phone looks like, but since I'm a noob, I'm not allowed
When you upgrade to android 4.3 it will change your storage partition from sdcard0 to emulated/0 ... simply it will change its partition so all your old files will not be visible there but they are still in your memory... I suggest you find your old files and move them to new directory... There are many threads on how to find your old files.. Search

Hi,
I've just updated to Lollipop and had been under the impression that I would now be able to move some game files to my 64gb micro sd card.
However, while the app manager seems to have a 'Move to SD' button, all that seems to do is move files within the internal storage of the device, rather than moving them to the actual SD card. When using ES Explorer, rather than the file manager that comes with the tablet, it has two 'SD cards' one of which is actually part of the 12gb of internal storage.
Is there a way now, without rooting, of moving files to the 'real' sd card rather than this fake virtual one? What is it with the whole fake SD card anyway? What a crap and deliberately misleading way to do it.
Cheers.

I updated my stock z2 tablet to lollipop yesterday, happy as hell for the return of app2sd, and sadly a few moments after installing the first few apps I noticed precisely this. All of the apps I moved to the sd card do not transfer to the external sd, but to the internal "fake" sd partition (not visible on the file explorer that comes in the device, but es explorer shows it). I mean, this totally defeats the purpose, I still can't use my 32gb card to store app data after all, and everything is where it was on kit kat: inside the limited internal storage (16gb wifi version here). Why on earth do I get the option to transfer to sd if stuff isnt rly being transfered to sd?
I've spent the entire afternoon looking for ppl with similar issues, and even though I found a few, I haven't found a solution or an answer anywhere. Does this happen to only a few ppl? Or is it that most ppl just root/unlock/flash roms and nvr notice this?
Is there anyone around here that can shed some light over this? Goin crazy here :/
There is a new update from Sony which fixes that.
A. 1.28 for 521 or A. 1.30 for 511.

Only just seen this, but it does indeed seem to work properly having tested just now after the update. Thanks for the info

Where did you find this A.1.30 build ?
I'm under A.1.28 rooted and still can't move entire app to SD
Slight bump - but I'm also still afflicted by this, despite my 521 being on 1.28. Can anyone confirm if it should be necessary to factory reset before being able to correctly push apps to the SD card? I use my tablet mainly for games and streaming, so I have a pretty much useless 64GB SD card which is 99.9% empty even after "moving" all my apps and games to the "SD card".
I certainly didn't have to factory reset mine before I could move to SD - it just worked after doing the latest update.
OK, thanks! Looks like something's gone wrong for me then as I still can't do this.
According to Solid Explorer, I've got the following symlinks in my device root:
/sdcard (-> /storage/emulated/legacy)
/sdcard1 (-> /storage/sdcard1)
In /storage, I have a symlink called sdcard0 which also links to /storage/emulated/legacy.
/storage/emulated/legacy, of course, just takes me to my "internal memory". So when an app gets "moved to SD" it ends up staying exactly where it was.
Is there any way to fix this? Can I remove the symlinks safely, or recreate them pointing to the correct place?
