Haha. Interesting.

Made in China:{
I don't know how they got there! I can't delete them. They aren't bothering me other than WTF! I'm sure I could get rid of them by wiping and resetting, but I don't want to do that because this thing is running soooooooooooooo smoothly! This phone has never ran smoother in the year that I've had it. Maybe that's all I needed was 6 usb drives lol! I'd just like to know how it happened.

Hmm... if you plug it in to comp does it only show 1 usb storage? Or a different file explorer may be able to delete them?

It acts as normal. When plugged intro pc it shows 2 folders. My internal and external.
Perhaps unmount then mount the sd card to force the media scanner to read all the file structure. Thats in settings>>>--->usb storage.

All. Whoa.
This is something JB does to the file structure.
Dont start deleting nothing. Storage under root points to sdcard0. If you pick sd card under root you get these options to get to external sd.
Sdcard0 is your internal storage
Extsdcard is your micro sd card
The others I'm not sure but there is no harm....unless you delete all your files.

Oh don't worry I won't delete my internal or external memory. I tried deleting usb f but nothing happen.
It's a mystery!
I have the exact same file structure listed for my "storage" also. My guess the usbdrives are nothing more than predefined locations for usb OTG if connected. I would think that we all SHOULD have the same structure setup for our storage (sdcard0=internal storage and extsdcard=external sd card) if we updated correctly.
It reminds me of "My Computer" on your PC. It too shows all your drives and the placeholders also for your flash memory.

After a bad flash my Vibrant is not seeing my internal sd card.
Is there a way to reformat?
Settings -> SD card and phone storage -> under phone storage select Format SD card.
Before you do that I would try flashing the mounting fix that was posted a while back in clockwork though. That might help.

The same thing...
Hitting Format SD card under the phone storage part of the screen will format the internal memory. If that doesnt work you should odin back to stock and reflash whatever ROM you want.
Formatting storage card does nothing.
Odin back to stock then reflash your ROM.

Already done that twice.
Hence my question.
Is there a way ie through adb to format the internal Sd/storage memory
This thread is relevant to my interests.
I have attempted to odin, and heimdall back to stock, but either the guide here on XDA is severely outdated, or something is wrong with my vibrant.m (followed steps to a T, but to no avail)
I am extremely technologically adept so anyone willing to talk me through this won't be assisting grandpa through a reformatting, and re-installation of the latest version of windoze operating system on their virus ridden store bought PC so to speak, but rather would be helping out a fellow modder restore his phone, and squeeze a few more months out of it before being forced to upgrade.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
//edit
obviously i can get into the bootloader, recovery, and download mode, but cannot load any rom because i get the error cannot write to lums message.
I too flashed probably once too many times, and something corrupted my internal SD card on my SGS Vibrant, and there's no way to reformat it that I know of.
Are you locked out of the internal SD ie the EU bug?
What ROM were you running when you tried Odin?
Does Odin recognize your device, do you have a lighted com port?
Which version of Odin did you try?
Which files did you plug in on Odin?
And have you tried the AIO toolbox?
No tickee, no laundry!
sorry I didn't see this reply earlier, but since my last posting I bit the bullet and upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
I would however like to see if I could still repair my vibrant for use as another android phone to play with. Odin, etc. all recognize and will flash my phone, but in cwm I can't flash any roms. I it says something about unable to write to lums?

Hello. I am running very low on RAM (internal memory) on my Original Droid RAZR. I am aware that there are root apps that use SD Card memory as RAM. Some apps are: "RAM Manager" and "Swapit RAMEXPANDER by ROEHSOFT". You can get them in the Play Store.
Video of one of the apps:
Will this actually work? Thanks.
wait...ram or internal memory?? ram can't be changed but you can increase your internal memory by swapping it with your sd card...in razr its easy to do so...you do need root though
you do that by changing the "sdcard-ext" to "sdcard" and sdcard to sdcard-ext"

Sorry, I am getting them confused. I meant to say Internal Memory. So I can just swap it with ALL of my SD Card space? Or can I choose how much? and with what app do I do this with? Thanks for reply.

He is trying to use some extra storage space on his sdcard as a sort of page file or swap file to give him more memory for the OS to run in I think. Who knows with people, myself included, interchanging the terms memory, RAM, and storage. I do it, but it is inadvertant.

Yes that is exactly what I want to do. Is it possible without root?
No its isn't!
After rooting you ccan make a 'partition' on your sd card that will be assigned to the phone memory. You can use link to sd for this and make partition through CWM...once you read about rooting youll get to know about CWM..so search around this forum..

Friend ensure that the drivers are installed correctly, if not successful, perform desinstação and restart your notebook and install the drivers again.

Well used you should be capable to get the combined storage app space of the internal and external sd
I have installed asphalt 7, tdkr, mc4, vice city, amazing spiderman, nfs most wanted, wild blood just pointing the heavier ones (20 games right now) and I have 5.3 gb free on internal sd plus much more on the ext
I'm already counting that your phone is rooted, your external sd is a good one for game performance and you know what you're doing to get this working

I already tried many of these programs, also "GL to sd" but everytime I want to play a game I need to mount the SD card in the app in order to play, that was very annoying. I have now bought 16gb sandisk class 10 and I dont need to worry about the storage anymore:good::victory:

It seems that you missed some of the updates of the app, when you mount it ONCE it kepps there always, there's an option to set on boot and auto-dismount /re-mount when you plug / unplug from PC so no worries at all at any time, since I first insalled that app 3 weeks ago I never went back to set nothing, why would you mount and unmount each time? or is another app which you are talking about

I did search and only found couple people saying theirs is not working, my question was does anybody know how to fix? All that I seen was said was to download scan media and try that. Mine does not read at all won't pick up my pictures or music even if it scans and also no way to access it with file explorers. The page you linked me to only had wifi questions on it.
Check /storage
My external card showed up under /storage/external_SD. Did you check that location?

^This. Use something like ES or root explorer and go up a level and there should be a folder called storage with an External_SD folder inside (or something of the like) and another called sdcard0 that goes to the internal SD
This also should have been posted in the Q&A section, for future reference.

hope this helps
is this what u meant? i've heard that some people were having this issue and that if u flashed the 2 files in this post that it fixed the sd card not being read. after i flashed these 2 fixes and ran scan media all my pix showed up in the stock gallery

yes I did check under external_sd that directory is there, but doesn't take you to the card. It's just an empty folder, also the same from computer.

I ran those two zips, and everything is still the exact same. If you go to external_sd it just says this folder is empty. When you plug into computer and access it says "device has stopped or doesn't exist".
more info
I don't know if this is relevant to anything, but external_sd has the wrong date it was created it shows 1/2/1970. Just thought I should mention this.
have u tried putting the sd card in a different device and reformatting it to make sure its not the card? Or tried using a different card in the phone?

As I said earlier /sdcard/external_sd is empty for me as well. However /storage/external_SD is where the content shows up. If the card is empty when you mount it in the computer, it may well be empty or corrupt. Formatting (erasing all content) may be necessary.

Yes I just looked there its empty as well, and media scanner can't find anything. and per vinniemac84 instructions, I removed the card put in adapter and put in computer everything is on it, I also just put the original 16gb card in phone which was removed from phone the day I got it and tried to create a folder in both places and it tells me could not create directory. Also in setting under storage it shows nothing about an external card no options to mount it or size or anything. usually even if you don't have a card in the phone it will show the option to mount a card.
Yes. I know you're going to tell me to use the search or google, etc. But believe me when I say I have tried a lot already.
I'm getting this error when I try to install or update almost every APK on my Android. SOME will install or update and I can tell you there's nothing to do with file size. The storages seem to have plenty of free space, apps install smoothly when I factory reset my phone, but after a few days I start getting this annoying error.
I'm running the latest Nightly build from CyanogemMod for LG p720h (Yea, it's not stable and I know I should expect some... erm... bugs). It's Android 4.1.2.
I know the Internal Storage is emulated and have tried many many many fixes I found in this very forum and all over the internet. I'm a game developer so I know a few things about adb shell/logcats but couldn't find/understand anything analizing those during an APK install. I can provide logs, etc.
Can anyone help me find out how to solve this problem? Any idea of what's going on?

Is because your phone doesn't have enough ram(storage for apps) to hold those apps. If you have an sd card you can use AppMgr III (App 2 SD):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd
You can move apps to either internal or external storage

I was able to install this app but it didn't work, it says the primary external storage is emulated. The Storage manager says it has 548mb free space on my internal storage which should be plenty.
And even if I uninstall an app 50mb big I can't install other apps, even if they're 1MB or less. I don't think it has anything to do with "real" available storage.

apps don't use internal storage, they use a partition inside the internal, which is why you dont get all the storage on the box.
