My Galaxy S3 has mixed up my internal and external memory
My internal memory is mounted to the extsdcard and my external microsd is mounted to SDcard. It has ruined all my stuff, lost all my pictures and mixed up everything!
If I take off the external SD, the sdcard copies the extsdcard folder..
What can I do?
Are you using a custom rom - if so with additional addons?

Just found out it was the Internal2ExternalSD mod (from Ultima). (I thought it would be an application that I can use to swap them as needed. I had forgotten that I had checked the box when updating my ROM)
I thought it had something to do with App2sd or EasyUMS
Uninstalling that program solve the problem?

Hi,
i have just flashed CyanogenMod 7.1 (Atrix CM7 Pre-Beta #3)
and i am unable to brows files in my internal memory (phone memory)
Music player seams to be able to find songs without any problem tho but no file manager is able to show me files in my internal memory.
Any suggestions ?
Edit: External memory card is working just fine. files and folders are showing.
Re-Edit: I have tested and all files both internal sd and external sd are showing in one combined folder now my question is how can i set which file is saved in which place and stuff
U can find emmc which is external card and internal card under mnt folder

Hello.
I just bought a MicroSD, and saw on ESExplorer that the phone mounts the externalSD inside the sdcard folder /sdcard/external_sd
That way, it thinks I only have 11.5Gb available and everything I put inside my external_sd actually fills the internal memory.
I should have 11.5+8=19.5 but I don't.
Any way to fix this?
Thanks a lot!
I can't believe no one has a Galaxy S2 with an external Sd card!

Settings menu/storage and did you format it there first? Or do you use Kies and what is it using for sending stuff to your memory (Internal or External First?)
In settings/storage do you see both cards? In mine I can see SD card 29.81gb & USB storage 11.5gb.
Yes it shows the external card folder in the internal file explorer. It doesn't mean files are saved on the internal card. It was also like that on the S1 as well.
When you connect to PC in USB mode the PC will show both cards separately.

external_sd is just the mount point. You will only have ~12gb available on your internal memory because the phone uses some memory for the OS. I only have 7.4gb usable on my 8gb external sd. The available memory is always smaller than advertised

My tablet has a devided into two pices internal memory. 500mb for apps and 3,5 gb for internal storage and it recognize it as sdcard. I put my 16gb sdcard and is found like extsd. My question is how can I move programs from sdcard to extsd, is there a program like app2sd or to combine the memory and to became one. Because if I put 3 game like asphalt 6 and it will finish the memory. Thank you.

try link2sd,
i dont know only one thing: where this program move files (apk+cache) cause i dont see them in /sd-ext and app2sd app (i forget about uninstalling it) is showing that app is in internal storage but internal storage free memoory is like it was before moving.
EDIT: after reboot it is in data/sdext2 folder (before in /data folder).

Hello guys, i've a quick question about the external sdcard path, it used to be sdcard/external_sd in i9100 but now it has been changed to mnt/extSdCard due to which CWM somehow did a backup in the external sdcard successfully, but now when i try to restore from external sd card it gives an error and doesnt go through. any ideas? Is this going to be a problem of any kind at any point?
Strange. I have my nandroid backup on external sd and works flawlessly when I restore.

try updating the cf root to latest version
Both the internal memory and external are now named SD cards.
The path of the internal is /mnt/sdcard and the external sd is mnt/extSdCard.
For you to flash something from CWM they need to be stored in the mnt/extSDcard and not the internal one.
When using file expert you can get to mnt/extsdcard by going into internal memory and then mnt and so on which is strange.
Hope it helps.
Sorry wrong post.

thanks i'll try it and let you know
Ok the Cwm problem has been solved as now i can backup and restore from the sd card (Thanks to Bala_gamer) but what about the apps, i cant move them to sd card because of the new path to external sd. apps2sd and gl to sd dont work, so i get to fill up my 16 gigs in 2 days of purchase whereas i have 58 gigs free on my micro sd card.. and this is an issue already being discussed on other forums and threads,, what will be the solution to it anyone?? i also read an article by chainfire that google is blocking the installation of the apps to external sd maybe, so this is worrying me
Hello Folks!
i just bought a 32gig micro sd card for my S3. inserted it, formated. everything goes well. but now i have problem. is there anyway to change the settings of touchwiz, so it downloads and installs all apps on the external sd ? and how do i change the backup location in titanium backup ? titanium backkups take up quite some space, so it would be great if they can be stored AUTOMATCALLY on the external SD. Btw S3 is rooted.
Thanks Guys
Titanium Backup
Go on menu, then Preferences
Then Backup Settings, Backup folder

For the first problem you have go to the mods section and search for internal sdcard to external sdcard..you will get a zip which will toggle the memories so that your internal memory will be shown as external and vice versa ..all the apps will then be stored on the external sdcard

Hi,
Since I have similar issues and more, I jump in with my own questions...
It seems that my ext sd card is only partially recognized. For instance, Rom Manager does not see it, so when I want to install a zip file from Rom Manager, it will only browse for the zip file within the internal as card. I can however browse through the ext sd card from Recovery.
I can also reach my zip file stored in the ext card with ES file explorer, click on it and open it with Rom Manager to install it straight away...
When I do a nandroid backup, I get a message during the backup process stating something like "no ext card found"
I'm just wondering how the ext sd card can be recognized in any situation? Could this relates to how I formatted it? I did a standard formatting with my Windows 7 PC, so it was fat32 (or fat).
