[Q] SD Card is partly inaccessible! - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

I had a problem with my SD card and then I thought I solved it as mentioned in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=601340 but later I found out that I can't download anything despite being able to browse the net. Then my Titanium Backup wasn't able to perform a routine backup saying "there isn't sufficient space" while there is sufficient space. Swiftkey also began to give the error "unable to load language packs". On the other hand, my file manager "xplore" can still open SD and my PC can access it as normal. Is there a connection between all these problems and is it SD card the main issue? Please help. I have xperia x10 mini rooted running android 2.1 E10i.

I forgot to add that the camera also cannot access SD card saying every time I press camera button "please insert memory card".

is ur rom or kernel custom or only rooted official rom and official kernel?

Android 2.1 is the official rom. Custom roms are usually higher, but thank you. I managed to format SD card but this time from the phone itself. Of course, after copying data to PC. From the phone settings/SD card & phone storage settings, go to Unmount SD card, then Format SD card option is enabled. So you can format it the way your phone likes (don't have to wonder FAT32 or FAT16). This can be better than your computer to format it or even the SD company "SD formatter".

Blank SD card... again.

Hi!
I've got a big problem and the thing is I don't know if that's with my phone or SD card.
To begin with, I have class 4 EMTEC SD Card (4 GB). I bought it about 3 days ago so it's quite new. My rom is Mik-os' CM7 and the problem is that every single time I copy something to or from that card and something bad happens (e.g. my PC loses connection with phone when copying files, or I tap "Turn off USB connection" on my phone too early) it results in "Blank SD Card" error and I must partition card every single time it happens. As you know, it can be quite frustrating, as I have most of my apps on SD card.
From my description, you may think that this is clearly my SD card's fault. But, the same thing happened earlier with my 2 GB SD card that came with my phone. I couldn't delete nor save anything on it using android's USB function, I had to do everything using recovery menu. And my my ROM that time was LOL 1.4.2.
So, my question is - is that my phone's fault or it's rather my SD card?
Also I have one bonus question - is there any way to backup apps installed on SD card? (But I'm not talking about TitaniumBackup, what I mean is if I can copy any folder to the computer, and when the "Blank SD card" error appears, just paste it to SD card and have all apps again.)

Well I have this problem with Void.Forever ROM. Do not format it, just reboot your phone after this issue
Well, I tried rebooting, I tried to remove and insert the SD card again, but it didn't help and I always end up getting "Blank SD Card".
Its a bad sdcard. I had this problem on stock froyo too. Please replace your sdcard.

The card that comes with the phone is pure junk, so the experience with that is irrelevant. Other than that, use USB card reader in PC. If it is dead, just RMA it.
As for the backup - the apps are in .android_secure folder. Nowever, this is not really a solution, you would have to backup the entire SD card, lots of other application data are scattered across all different directories on SD. Worse yet, if you backup the phone via recovery, it gets lost.
try using panasonic sd formatter and format ur sdcard create ext partition if u have atleast class 4 orelse dont and see if the prob persist

[Q] Phone doesn't recognize USB internal storage as SD Card

I upgraded to the most recent Batista70 rom, and after that to the CheckROM (from the old Leomar revolution ROM).
I can access the internal SD card in every possible way, except I can't move apps to it. Every time I try it says "Your phone does not have SD card. Insert SD card.", even though in the Manage Applications menu, on the SD Card tab it shows all the apps that can be moved to the card as well as the correct storage underneath.
Debugging is off. It's a fresh install. In the Storage menu, it refers to the internal SD card as "USB storage" and to the external SD card (which I have none) as just SD card.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Use a different rom. For some reason I believe some roms have bugs. I had this same issue with barista hence I moved back to checkrom
Copy files to pc then format the Sd card the move the files to your sd card hope it work !

I installed checkrom 3.0.0 based on XXKJ2, and will now try to install 3.1.1 which is based on XWKJ3.
The strange thing is, even in CWM recovery, I can install zips from the sd card, but it has the option to "install a zip from the internal sd card", and that doesn't work, so I'm afraid even CWM is reading that as the usb storage.

That is strange indeed. Now the only thing left to do I suppose is to reflash via odin before flashing a custom rom.
Format SD Card
Format your SD card, first copy all your files to your PC. Then wipe all data and install a new rom
Just flashed a stock rom, albeit not it's first (which was from July), and the problem persists...
I filed a bug report on the Checkrom bugtracker here: bugtracker. checkrom. com/ view.php?id=31 (can't post links, too new a user)
I'm guessing it's not a problem with their rom anymore, but if they solve it, good for everyone...
It's really strange because I can read the SD card perfectly, and it even shows on the pc when I plug the phone in, but some applications, like camera and microphone can't record on it. The economist magazine accessed it without problem and downloaded into it a couple of issues, so... strange...

Damaged SD card

I am running CM7 Alpha 3. It suddenly said "Damaged SD Card" and I may need to reformat it. webOS can use it without problem. I also connect it to windows and do a disk check there. However I still can't mount the SD card partition in CM7. Any idea?
OK I format SD card thing and Android still won't read it, saying the SD card is damaged. Help?

I think your SOL and have to reinstall an android build.
This is a bug that happens when you have more than 50 apps installed on the sdcard.
You need to goto .android_secure and delete a few files to get under 50. I have also heard that if you goto manage applications you could remove a few apps that are installed on the sdcard.

Can't download files. "No external storage available"

Hey guys. I have CWM 6.0 and the CM10 ROM from here and I love it. However, whenever I open Gallery, or try to download a file, I can't and get the message "No external storage available". I don't have an SD card inserted, however my NT has an internal SD card (I'm guessing the recovery partition) of 1 GB, and I've tried un/remounting that, and the message still exists. Can you guys help?
Several apps insist on external sd-cards. So the simplest solution is to just insert an sd-card!
I don't know if it's possible to fiddle with the void (I think that's the name...) file or something like that to make the internal storage show up as external. I know that was possible in CM7, but I haven't been bothered enough to look around for it. I just have a small (1GB) card inserted just to keep those apps (for example Swiftkey) happy.

Awesome, that works. I guess I need to buy a new SD card then haha. One other question...My computer doesn't seem to detect the internal storage of the Nook (or the SD card) when connected via USB. It just shows up as Removable Device and when I click on it, I get the message "Please insert device". Is there a fix for that? I'd like to transfer music to the Nook and not have to take out the SD card everytime.
When you connect the NT to the PC there should be a small notification in the notification bar. It says something "USB connected". Tap that and then you probably get to another screen where you get prompted to "turn on USB" storage or something like that. Once that is done you will have access to the SD-card and the user patition of the internal storage.

Problem install applications to sd

Hello, since yesterday I have a serious and strange problem to your sd card. Let's start that I have a moto g lte first generation. So since yesterday I can't format my sd card, I can't erase the things that are above, I tried to find errors with pc but nothing, I did scan but nothing, though I can move files from sd card to your pc, I can hear the music with the songs placed on the sd, but the strangest thing is that if I update an application , and then with link2sd the move on the sd, gives me an error and if I reboot the phone, the application is no longer updated and is moved to the internal memory, 2.7 gb free space out of 8. If I try to copy some apps on the sd using link2sd I get says "install failed container error", while if I try to use solid explorer and press for information for both the sd card to the inner one, I get says "attempt to invoke a virtual method on a null object reference". I tried to format the sd card with sd formatter however tells me the card is protected. You know me, I'm going crazy ps apps that were wrapped with link2sd on the sd card, they work. :crying:
