Do I lost all my data on sdcard?
ES Explorer shown me the message no sdcard mountet.
I remount the sdcard in the Settings.
Now the Partition ist only 11.5GB (in Titanium Backup)
In ES Explorer the message is not shown again, but my old folders are gone.
Can someone explaine what's going on with my Atrix?
(Sorry 4 my bad english)
try putting the sd card into your computer and checking it out.
Are you sure you're checking /sdcard-ext/ (EXTERNAL CARD) or /sdcard/ (INTERNAL MEMORY)? Because mostly apps show internal memory as sdcard; and ~11.5GB free for internal is OK.

It is the internal sdcard, shows me 11.4 from 11.5 free and all my data are lost. 20 folders which i can't see.
Should be 15.x total
There is internal storage which the phone considers an SC card, and then there is external storage which is the card you put in. The phone partitions the internal storage and uses bits for various things. part is for webtop, part is for apps, part is for storage. 11.x gigs on the internal is normal.
the data you claim to have lost, was it on the card you put in the phone yourself? if so it's probably still there, you just need to look at the external card.
I believe the AT&T phones show the internal sdcard as having 10.7GB free after a clean sbf flash. Mine does, and I know other people have reported the same number. Obviously this number will vary slightly by carrier, but not too much I would think.

yeah i have the same problem lol
Internal: 2.11GB, SDcard:11.5, Ext. SDcard: 3.95
I know flashed the gingerblur 4.5.
Titanium Backup shows me now the following:
System ROM: 335 MB (121MB free) --> what partition is that?
Internal : 2.11GB (1.55GB free)
SD card: 11.5GB (11.4GB free)
Ext. SD card 3.95GB (3.86GB free)
total internal should be 16GB, but its only 13.61GB ...
Can someone explain me, how I get my holiday photos and my sound files back? all my folders were deleted, but i didn`t formatted anything...

I had a similar problem as well. I lost all my data in my ext sd card. Prior to that there were a couple of times where the sdcard and ext sd card didnt mount properly.
I tried to recover but to no avail. I now try not to transfer via the usb cable to minimize unmounting.

Hi,
Is it possible to move an existing app or install new app to USB Storage (comes along with SGS2) and not to the external SD card (i dont have though as 16 Gb is enough for me )......
When ever i install an app its getting installed in System storage (only 2 GB max available and i already have nearly 1.3 gb filled up there ).......so is it possible to move the stuffs from there to the internal USB STORAGE.........i checked app2sd but seems to be its poitning to the external sd card.....
also, when i went to applications and clicked "Move to SD card" its shwoing as not enough memory......
i have tried searching entore XDA but could find a viable solution.....
@JJEgan: Please do not tell me to search the net/ xda forums as a reply to this question (which u have already given to others http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1135233) as i have already searched a lot and tried different apps...but none could give me what i am really looking for.......
Any help on this is much appreciated........
Hmm, when I select Move to SD, it moves it. No problem at all. Puts them on the internal one.

When I moved some of my apps to sdstorage (internal) I did not know that if you do a factory reset it wipes your internal sdstorage (i.e. sdcrad), so make sure you do a backup to computer if you need to factory reset your device.
ATB
Oh wow. Which 'factory reset' function are we talking about in that case? You know, the one through the dialer, or the one in the options menu. I know, they do exactly the same but.. I noticed that if I select wipe data/factory reset in the recovery menu, it does not touch my SD cards at all. Let it be internal or external. Weird huh?
I am not too sure...

The thing is that I keep fiddling with my phone and my internal sdcard got wipe a few times. I know that the dialer will delete your stuff on the internal sdcard, but I think the one on the options menu also delete the sdcard, but I am not 100% sure and dont really want to try again just incase. So unless someone can confirm it better do a backup to PC.

Am i missing something here folks, sorry to hijack this thread i dont wanna start a new one and it's a similar issue i have,when i connect the cable from my phone to the usb on my laptop i cant see my SD card (even after i have unmounted sd card)
what am i doing wrong here, all i wanna do is to copy music and files onto my external SD without having to physically taking the SD card out of the phone.
cheers
Unmount? You must've meant mount. You mean when you select Mount USB from the status bar, the external sd won't show up? What about the internal one, can you access that one?

Guys,
Sorry to disturb you in your conversation
but, i think my question is not answered or i didnt understood the replies.....can any one of you pls help me
i am having the same problem as smilingcruel. keeps saying not enough memory. Am i actually trying to save to an external sd and is there a setting i should change? running out of space quick.
Hi.
I have the same problem, but it seems no one has answered the question yet.
Is there any solution ?
Maybe the problem has been addressed in some other thread... thanks in advance for your help.

I have the same problem that when I say move to SD it tells me "Failed to move application: Not enough Memory" but when I look on the sd card I see it there.
Also, it seems not all can be moved to the internal sd card. I was hoping to do something like link2sd does but it requires you to repartition the SD card and I'm not how to do that with the internal one.
link2sd rocks for creating links for just about any app on your sd card.
Not sure if this would help. I have been having d same prob previously.
But once i inserted a SD card (regardless of wat d size is), i'd able to send d apps to the internal memory through app2sd. (not d external sd in fact)
No answer yet ?
How can we move our app from internal phone memory ( 2 gb ) to out USB Storage (30 gb internal )
Move to SD option says that "Failed to move application.No SD card"
I have enough memory on my phone (32 bg ) and I don't want to add an external SD card , how can I sole this problem ?
thanks
So there is any solution to install apps on USB Storage? Because when I move them by App2sd to external SD they disappeared after rebot.
I'm using Omega v19.2 Jelly Bean 4.1.2 ROM, but probably it's the same problem on stock.
I am having this issue also, but in Jelly Bean.
I used a 4GB SD card to flash my phone with Chameleon ROM (4.1.2 JB) and the SmartROM kernel, when the phone was setup and working I removed the SD card.
Before when I used Resurrection Remix (also 4.1.2 JB) that was not an issue, but then again I had never used a SD card with it.
Now I can not install anything because of lack of space and I can not move any app to the Internal "USB" partition... even though there is 5 GB free.
I did format the entire phone (using CWM Recovery, formatted system, data, etc, etc) before I installed Chameleon.
What gives?
This thread went quiet without a resolution, I have the same issue on 4.1.2, with my internal sd 12gb partition being empty and apps not moving either saying failed or not enough space.
With an external sd card mounted it moves them there, but after a reboot as others mentioned they now longer function.
Any help would be appreciated!

Got my new Note, this is my first droid phone, and I got LOTS of questions. I currently have the i717 version, unrooted.
1) Is currently is any reliable way to install ICS on the i717?
2) How do I check if there were any previous kernel or ROM flashes?
3) Is there a reliable way to root the device WITHOUT increasing the counter (assuming it is currently at 0)?
4) How do I move installed apps, which are currently under "System Storage" to "USB storage"?
I can answer all of your questions very simply. Search and read.

Ya from what I gathered, there is ICS for the international version. I have yet to see something for the i717.
I dont have an SD yet, I was referring to moving them from System to USB storage.
I will be getting as SD soon though.

There are two potential SD cards for the Note. One is the internal SD card. This is actually the part of the phone where you store your music and other files. It's the space allotted by the OS for storage. The Note comes with 16GB of internal storage, but 2GB is reserved for the system. You cannot access this for data storage. There is also a portion of the internal SD card that is used by the OS itself.
The remaining amount of storage is about 12GB. This is accessible through a file explorer such as Root Explorer, ES File Explorer, etc, and is located in the /sdcard folder. This is where any App2SD type app will move apps to. This is also where you store your music and other files like photos, etc.
The Note also has a slot for an external SD card. To access it, you take the battery cover off and right next to the SIM card, there is a little slot for the micro SD card. The Note is published as handling up to 32GB micro SD cards, but there are plenty of people using 64GB micro SD cards with their phone.
Using the external SD card would allow you to add additional music and photos and other files. It is not used at all by the OS or system, so you would have as much space on it as you can after formatting it. (You lose some space after formatting.)
So to summarize: the Note has 16GB, about 12GB available through the internal SD card. You can add additional storage using the external SD card (officially up to 32 GB, unofficially up to 64Gb).

Got it, but still have a little question. I noticed when I install any app, it goes directly onto the 2GB system reserved space. What if I run out of that 2GB, what happens in that case, can I move the installed apps into the 12GB or I have to move it into the purchased/external SD card?

^^ got it, thanks.
K I researched and read, I still cannot find out if I can safely root my Bell i717, without increasing the flash counters.
Also, it seems there is no ICS yet available for this device.
Can someone please chime in?
wow this thread cleared up a lot for me. Still got a few questions though...so when i go to settings and click on an app and click "move app to sd" it moves it to the "internal sd" which has about 12gb of space? so then what goes on the external sd card? is the storage on the SD card ONLY accessible when you plug it into a computer and put it in mass storage mode? I remember when I had my nexus one, moving apps to sd actually put it on the external sd card..
The note is not a DROID. Droid is a verizon marketing term.
You can reset your flash counter. So even if you increase it by flashing CWM or rooting then just reset it back to 0. That's what I did.
Once CWM is installed flash all the ROMs you want through CWM. Just back up nandroid first and you can always go back.
I use a 64GB microSD card and store nandroid backups, photos, videos, podcasts, etc.
The internal SD (USB Storage) is used for app data.

Root ir phone throigh odin then go search dev thread for the rom u want read the requiements then flash they r all good
note @ 1.83
... You don't need root to flash a ROM.
Instead of rooting with Odin, just flash CWM with Odin then flash the ROM from there.
The only reason to root first, is to run titanium backup if you so desire
Hi all,
As there is specific thread for our Xperia Sola, I created my topic here. Sorry if I was wrong :/
I have a question about the management of the internal storage and the sd-card storage. Because it seems that my phone is considering my "sd card" as the internal storage.
When I connect my phone to my PC, I can see the internal storage and my sdcard content (as I choose MSC as connection type). But I can't see the content of my SD card directly from my phone. I tested with EStrong file explorer and the folder "/sdcard/" point to the internal storage. Same thing with Solid Explorer...
So I took Root explorer to sse behind the scene and I understand that my sdcard is mount in "/ext_card"..
So, this behaviour is really annoying: what's the meaning to have a sdcard input if I can only use the internal storage ? As I have a external storage, I would like to not use the internal storage. How can I do this ?
Thanks for your answer
I Also Have The Phone And the System Is Same For Me Better Get Use To It
Your external SDcard (/ext_card) is only for photos, music and videos.... No for aplication data. Yea that's really annoying. But i have read somewhere that you can (after root) edit the mounting points and mount your SDcard to sdcard. But there is no one who tried that.
YES ! I tried that ! You need root your phone and then do this . Don't forget to move apps from "sdcard" to phone ! Now i have 8 GB Internal storage and 4 GB external storage I love SOLA !
is this realy work on sola? im going to try this one later xD

Ok, so it worked for yr sola?? give us some feedback here mate..
Although I seriously doubt it..
---------- Post added at 05:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 PM ----------
Ok, so I searched the forum a bit&found some interesting related posts, such as the below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1670626
U will see that it mentions an app called data binding, which can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262
I'm abt to try it out on my Sola 2c if it saves the day, as I don't think we have a proper alternative..
u know, even if it is possible, if u run a Game located in a External SDcard, It would be laggy like hell, especially HD games. Because reading files from the external card is much SLOWER than the internal one. So...
Yep, but if it comes to that&u REALLY need extra storage, u must have an alternative. And it can't be that bad running apps from SD - i did it with my old ZTE out of pure necessity, as it has like zero internal storage available&it wasn't all that bad..
Plus, if u have the option, u can always leave the HD game for example on internal phone storage&move to the external SD other, not so "heavy duty" apps.
What I did was use Link2SD, as it looked more promising than the above.
I can't post the outside link as I'm a newbie just google Link2SD if interested, there is a very good guide of it at xperiablog.net, u can search it there too.
Let's see..
Testing Directory Bind ! It worked
Work on my SOLA using Directory Bind app ! :good:
Link2sd is also a good app - same philosophy (data binding is the concept behind both).

hey
first of al u mean that the "/ext_card" is the real SD card storage and not the "/sdcard"
and we are actually not allowed to put anything in it !!!
so what android use the SD card actually ?!!!
if its as Kevlud said so when i am sending an music or video file it will actually stored in the SD card and it will not get space in the internal storage ???
thanks 4ur replays u both
so can it be viewed by file managers in the phone?
so by doing this, file managers in sola can view external sd cards? and also when we connect the phone to computer, the computer can also view the external sd card? tq please reply asap..
Hi all
Do not bother
I have a Sony Sola., When the data on the memory card can not run the pump slipped. Should be on the internal memory. Whether a program that will fix the problem.
( Excuse my language is not good)
Dear Masters,
Need your help again.
I am using the application LINK2SD for transferring my applications to SD card. But what I see is, there is some memory still used from the phone memory even after moving that application.
So, I want to know what can be the reason for that and is there any way to move that data part to SD card?
Please do guide because as per me this is not making any sense in rooting the device as still my phone memory gets low.
Hope that solution gets resolved as always.
Chin2.
Sadly Link2SD cannot link app data, and so internal memory will still be taken up by this. The only way around it is to install JaggyRom (or else install a custom kernel with ext2/3/4 support and a data2SD script, but JaggyRom would be simpler I think) and use it's app2SD functionality instead of Link2SD.
There are various ways to move app data to SD, but they all seem to require the second partition on your SD card to be an ext partition, rather than a FAT partition, and ext partitions are not supported by the stock kernel. I have yet to come across any app or script which will move app data to a FAT formatted 2nd SD card partition.
Thanks
SifJar,
Thanks for your reply, I have already got JaggyRom in my HTC explorer and also downloaded APP2SD from play store, will this suffice? Or I need to add any Kernel or anything like that?
And what about the partitioning of SD card? can you put some light on that as I am a newbie to Android.
Thanks once again.
Chin2.
If you have JaggyRom, you don't need any app from Play Store. It comes with A2SDGUI preinstalled and has an apps2SD script already configured. All you need to do is create a second partition on your SD card. You need to connect your SD card to a computer (via a card reader, NOT your phone), get a partition manager (e.g. MiniTool Partition Wizard) and shrink your current FAT32 partition. Then make a new partition (not sure which is the best format, I think ext4, but ext2 and ext3 should work too) and make sure you also make this partition primary. (So both partitions will be primary). You'll want to make this partition reasonably large. Mine is about 700MB and I use about 500MB roughly with about 85 apps installed.
Once this is done, put it in your phone and start it. Then use A2SDGUI to move apps to SD card (don't move system apps, I don't think it will allow you to anyway), and I think it should automatically move any new apps you install in the future.

It is normal to have some kilobytes left there.I have a sensation and it always leaves some data on the phone and it isn't a lot.
The stock kernal can support ext2 partition so even without jaggyrom u can do it.
