Virus, flakey software or SD card problem ?

Using an M600 with a 1GB Viking SD card
On Sunday I installed Agile Messenger, all went well.
Yesterday I made a couple of registry mods (GPRS timer and GPS icon in settings per Wiki WM5 registry changes). Again all went well.
Left the PPC on Monday night and this morning it had locked up.
Not too worried at this point as PPC's do lock up (like PC's in the early 90's).
Soft reset and all hell let loose, after all it is the devils day today (6/6/6). Today screen missing lots of loaded software, Smartskey not working, Agile Messenger not running etc etc.
When I checked the SD card half of my programs AND ALL MY BACKUP files were gone. It will take me hours to set up the PPC again. But before I do can anyone explain what happened to the files on the SD card?
As it is 6/6/6 I can't help thinking it's the devils work but perhaps it's somethine less sinister.

Not sure. I experienced this twice. First it is a full wipe (all SD data gone) and the second time it is a partial wipe (all files under Storage Card\Program Files\ are gone).
If there is anything similar happened on those two occasion, it is that my unit hanged. So, now, I tend to eject my card before doing any soft reset. Not sure if this works, but that's at least what I can do. Do a search, there are others who exp the same problem.
And I don't think it is a SD card problem as I'm using Kingston SD card, which should be quite reliable.

Cheers hanmin,
I checked with file explorer and even put the SD card in a card reader and half my files 'had' gone, not just in program files dir of SD card. I started to copy some files from PC to PPC and suddenly all the files reappeared EXCLUDING the ones in program files. At least all my backups from the root directory have not been lost. I have now made a copy of the program files directory and transferred my backups to PC. Strangely I have some files TWICE on the PPC, EXACTLY the same name, extension etc. This is from copying the files from the PC when they were already on the SD card (albeit invisible at the time). Deleted some of the duplicates and it only removes one copy.
Any idea why the files can disappear and reappear? Really bad news when program dir gets wiped. I will follow your tip and remove the SD during soft reset.

hi,
I have had a similar but "more weird" SD Card trouble
Once a day, i couldn't read a folder ("PowerMonitor" placed in "programms") anymore, putting my SD Card to a cardreader of my PC i have seen just following contains the folder:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I had to format the Card in due to delete the unfunny chars placed in the folder

As you see, you are not alone, I had the same problem with my Dopod (if you see the post up) I have been involved 4 (four) times and I am sick of this, take me a lot of hour to fix it.
I was talking with the SD saler and they told me you have to give it us back to see if the problem is on your SD, but yesterday I prove another SD and early this morning... S....!!!!again, I lose the data on my SD.
You are not alone!!!! Somebody help us?

Change /sdcard reference to /Removable?

I am not sure if this is Honeycomb issue or the Asus Eee issue, but in the Asus Eee, my SD card is called /Removable but the internal memory is labeled /Sdcard
This is creating havoc on almost ALL APPS that needs to install LARGE data to SD Card. For example:
- Games: Galaxy Force II, which requires more than 250Mb, by default will download and install the data to the internal memory because it was "looking" for /sdcard. I simply CANNOT MOVE the app to /Removable because the app will then complaint nothing has been downloaded (couldn't find the data in /sdcard, even though it exists but just in /Removable)
- Music: I use iSyncr, which also looks for /sdcard and have the some problem as the above.
- TitaniumBackup: this is the BIGGEST PROBLEM - TB only looks for /sdcard. In TB preferences, I CANNOT change the backup path to /Removable. It insist on /sdcard only. So if my Asus goes kaput, my data is host. I can backup the data and THEN move the files to /Removable, but that means I have to do that EVERYTIME I do backup and even with automatic backup, I have to remind myself to move the backup files MANUALLY to /Removable.
So any apps that requires installation to SD card will look for /sdcard and nothing else.
Anything else I can do about this? My internal memory (that is, /sdcard), is getting filled up really quickly.

I won't comment on the rest as I am not an expert in mount points but, fortunately, you are wrong with regard to TB. When you go into preferences in TB, it tries to detect the backup folder. Don't press Use the current folder or Cancel. Just press the backup key and you can navigate to where you want. Mine is Removable/MicroSD/TB.
I guess we have to wait for some apps to be rewritten for HC.

It's not a Honeycomb problem per se, because vanilla Honeycomb doesn't support SD cards at all. Where a tablet has enabled SD card support, it is vendor specific.
W.r.t to other issues, the post here may help.

Apologies, I should have said the squiggly back (not backup) button when on the screen in your picture. The one on the bottom left of the picture.

Not "backup" as in data backup, the backup key in the lower left corner of the TF, (backup one level)

This works great! Thanks to all!

I think -sooner or later- apps will be updated to take advantage of the external memory storage. I have to hunt for those apps:
* Ebooks: I dropped Alkido for Moon Reader. MoonReader can access the microSD and doesnot import the actual files onto the \SDCARD. I have quite a lot of ebooks.
* Stock Music & Gallery (mobo player also) can access my pics/videos/music on the microSD (tons of MP3s and MP4s)
I have a 32GB microSD almost filled up.
I have a ship-load of games/apps which have data on \SDCARD but they still
can't fill it up yet (~8GB available). So I have no worry about the internal storage. I actually don't need/use that much games/apps.
by the way, I have a 16GB TF with no Dock.

I also HATE to have MicroSD folder outside /sdcard folder.
So, That has an easy fix:
Edit /system/etc/vold.fstab
Replace this line:
Code:
dev_mount microsd /Removable/MicroSD auto /devices/platform/sdhci-tegra.2/mmc_host/mmc1
With this line (as an example):
Code:
dev_mount microsd /sdcard/_MicroSD auto /devices/platform/sdhci-tegra.2/mmc_host/mmc1
Reboot your TF01, and you're done!
EDIT: You could, if you like, to do the same thing on SD card on the dock, and USB devices. Just follow same steps on other lines inside /system/etc/vold.fstab
I used the folder name _MicroSD with the "_" char, since I want it to apear on first lines of Root Explorer. Use any other name you like!
I know this may not be what you are looking for, but I think this is the right thread to share!

With at least 16gb storage, I don't see an issue with having apps use internal memory, and I'll store my media on the mSD card (or even an extra SD card in the dock).

Might check out what I did here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15846640&postcount=44
I didn't bother changing the mount points, but rather "redirected" specific folders inside /sdcard to the same folders inside /removable/MicroSD.

When I had to RMA my tab I did a TB to SD card. When I got it back I tried to restore my previously installed apps which I had to find using restore and browse for the backups. However although it listed them after doing that in the restore section it had NO option to restore the apps. Even though it was listing them. I have since had to reinstall all my apps manually. and have given up on TB. I just do a Nandroid backup now for emergencies.

was totally wracking my brain trying to figure out how to change the mount paths as some programs can't go high enough in the directory structure to switch over to /removable, or in the case of diceplayer you have to specify the path each time you want to browse from sd or internal. Its nice to have them all under /sdcard, thanks a bunch for the solution.

[i9000] Swap internal and external SD card (for Froyo 2.2.1)

This post is based on the excellent post of trip007in about swapping internal and external SD cards. Trip007in's hack is for the i9003 and didn't work for my i9000 (Samsung Galaxy S). Since I couldn't reply to trip007in's post (I am a new member) I am posting it here. I am quoting certain pieces of the original post, and other's I have adapted to be valid for the Samsung Galaxy S (GT-i9000)
Trip007in:
I have seen many forum members requesting (...) for a method to increase the internal sdcard memory to enable installing games, which generally require high memory storage space or storing maps for example for standalone GPS navigation system. Again such maps requires to be stored on internal memory card for them to work. All this is possible using this mod.
Click to expand...

Link to original post
Introduction: The Galaxy S has three memory partitions built in.
1. Internal Phone memory- Consists of Internal Phone storage (1.43 GB). This is not accessible through the USB mounting.
2. Internal SD card storage (5.64 GB) which is remaining partitioned memory. This partition is called "sdcard" by the system. This is the memory which needs to be boosted for increasing efficiency to install games, and applications which needs to stay in internal sdcard.
3. external sdcard called "external_sd" by system. This memory is added by user using micro sd card (up to 32GB) for storage purpose.
The problem is that the phone cannot access the external_sd card to store apps and appdata (for example, offline maps for MapDroyd or offline wikipedia files for WikiDroyd). It can only be used to store music and videos. In my case, as an international worker travelling between Netherlands and France every week, I wanted autonomy, even without network coverage, and wanted to have my maps and english, dutch and french wikipedias available offline. This was not possible due to the limited size of the internal sdcard.
This hack makes use of external sdcard as internal sdcard, thus providing storage capacity upto 32 GB depending upon the capacity of microSDcard added by user. The internal sdcard memory is converted to external_SD, thus two memory are swapped by using simple modified path in the vold.fstab.
Before going on please do the following:
1. Check if your external_sd card is accessible by the phone. You can check this through Settings -> SD Card and phone storage -> External SD card. Here you should see some space assigned to the phone.
If you have an external_sd but cannot see the space in Settings, you will have to solve that first. Maybe the sdcard has the wrong formatting or something like that.
2. Make sure that your phone is rooted. Without that, you cannot apply this hack.
3. Make sure to buy RootExplorer (or use the "ADB" method as described by trip007in. For me, RootExplorer worked faster!).
4. Make a copy of your device's original vold.fstab before following the procedure described by trip007in!
Procedure:
Follow the original instructions of trip007in in his post about swapping sd cards but, instead of using his original and moderated vold.fstab files, use the ones I attached to this post.
If the hack doesn't work for you, you can revert back to your original setting by removing the hacked vold.fstab and copying back your device's original vold.fstab.
For me the hack worked like a charm, pls see the attached screenshot.

Is it safe to use the same file on Samsung Galaxy W?

[Q] Duplicate folders JB 4.2

Hey all. I'm sure this issue has been done to death but I wasn't having success finding something.
Like everyone else on 4.2 I have those duplicate files of sdcard under /storage/emulated/o, /storage/emulated/legacy and /storage/sdcard 0. My question is what is safe to delete, because the N4 doesn't exactly have the most storage space in the world and duplicates of everything is eating up a huge chunk of my space.
Also does anyone know which of those folder locations I need to avoid deleting anything from so as not to delete the files from the original /sdcard folder (wasn't sure if any "mirrored" each other exactly)
Thanks in advance!

Hello Brooklynite,
They're actually the same files. They are in fact mirror files. Sometimes deleting them will cause the system to recreate those folders again. So if the folder is empty, no space is taken. What actually takes up space are the applications that you download onto the phone's internal storage. If you have a 8Gb model then I understand. I have a 8gig model as well and I only download apps that I really need. I also compress mp3 files so they won''t take too much space. Cloud storage is another option.

I actually have the 16gig model, but coming from a 32gig GNex this phones storage is tiny. I guess what confused me was that when looking at my storage it showed only about 5gig of space being taken up by everything while telling me I only had 1gig left available. That's why I had wanted to delete those duplicate files. But yeah I definitely don't want to delete anything on my regular sdcard so I guess I'll live with no space. Thanks for the help!

I have the same issue and hope to find a solution too. Everytime I flash (and I flash ROMs a lot) I have to format internal storage or I will run out of space. Don't know why everything needs to be emulated three times it looks like. I am used to the Sammy S3 and older HTC devices that would only have it once and that is it.
There has to be a way around this...

Yea only counting 8 gigs used and no space left 16 gig model brings down to 12 after system where's the rest

I had this happen to me back on 4.2.1 after using Astro File Manager. I deleted the lagecy folder that showed as a folder when connected to my Win 7 PC. BIG MISTAKE!! It removed the actual files as well (hard links I guess) and made a mess of my phone. I had backups already, so I "Factory Reset" my phone and reloaded the few files I need. I only use Dropbox now and wont load Astro File Manager again.

How did this "feature" get released when even Android itself get's confused?
Even Android's storage manager can't get it right:

I have found four places seeming to be my SD storage:

/storage/emulated/legacy
I've attached other screenshots showing how File Expert HD and DiskView treat my storage. CWM 6.0.2.3 also "misinterprets" my storage situation so I can't make more than 2 backups, and if I have 2 then I struggle for space for downloads and apps. I really wouldn't care about this if apps understood it - it makes you wonder how it managed to get released when not only do no apps support it, but Android's own system gets confused!
I've seen posts talk about merging all SD data with /data/media/0 but on my phone (using both File Expert and the new File Expert HD) that's showing up as a file not a folder. Seriously, how do I sort this out? Which is the real folder, why are the other three there, how do I disable this silly "shortcut" thing that's destroying my phone's storage?

Hey guys,
any thing new in that? is there any way to tell android how to calculate the available space the right way? Actual im raging on this topic really bad.

I'm wondering the same thing.... All the duplicate folders... All filled with duplicate files.... all folders and files are the same size... I'm sure I could cut down the used storage space to about 1/4 of what it claims to be at....

Enabling storage adoption in Marshmallow on the Honor 7

Note: This guide is only tested on the Honor 7 B320 Marshmallow release
The Marshmallow Beta for the Honor 7 is great, making a very nice device feel even better. But one thing missing is the option to 'adopt' microSD cards as Internal Storage, something that is particularly useful on the Honor 7 given its limited 16GB capacity.
Fear not, you can do it manually!
In order to set adopted storage up, you will need a computer with working 'adb' and, of course, a microSD card in your phone, the faster the better. Here's the process!
1. BACK UP THE DATA YOU HAVE ON YOUR MICROSD CARD. Your card will be formatted by this process, so make sure you have saved any pictures, videos etc. from your card to your PC before you start.
2. Decide how you want to split your card. You can either commit 100% of the card to internal storage, or split between internal storage and conventional SD. This option is useful if you like to unplug your card and put it in your PC. I would probably recommend committing the whole card.
3. Open your command window / terminal on your computer and type the 'adb shell' command (with your phone connected of course). You will need to enable USB debugging in developer settings (which in turn is displayed by tapping the build number of the device 5 times) in order to see the option.
4. Type 'sm list-disks' to list the disks available for adoption. It'll look something like below - take note of the disk ID (disk:179:160 in this example).
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
5. Partition the disk. For this we use the 'sm partition DISK TYPE RATIO' command. For example, to partition the disk above as fully adopted storage (aka private) I'd use the command 'sm partition disk:179:160 private'. If I wanted a 50/50 split between adopted and regular, I'd use the command 'sm partition disk:179:160 mixed 50'. Easy right?
6. This process will take a while, but when it's done, the Settings -> Additional Settings -> Storage view on your device should show the new Internal Storage. Note that, for some reason, the free space isn't reported correctly, however everything seems to work OK. When you install apps, they will generally install automatically to the adopted SD, although you can manually move things around if you want to, perhaps for performance reasons (the real Internal storage will likely always be a bit faster).
7. If you want to see how you are doing for space, you can use a third party tool such as FreeSpace or FreeSpace Plus.
And that's it! Let us know how you get on, and enjoy your new, expanded Honor 7!

interesting but what do i win with it

Hey mate, do you mind if i ask a few questions regarding the use of this?
The only thing i had to do, to get apps and download etc to save on the SD card was to change default storage to SD, in storage menu instead of internal.
Now everything i download or install is stored on my SD card. Huawei solved this by emulating your SD card to look like the internal storage.
This feature is in both 5.0.2 & 6.0.
I attached some photos. (Note: I already have some downloads and photos on my internal storage, took me a while to buy a sd card and i have been lazy so i haven't moved any files yet.)

In a nutshell, regular SD storage only allows you to put limited types of data on the card, with adopted storage everything can go on the card. It's a lot more 'set up and forget' than the old way.

Oh.. So even if i change the default storage, like i said, it will still save some data in the internal storage?
Edit: My bad i didn't read the post properly...
If i adopt, can i still use it as usual? I mean remove the sd card without anything happening to my files?

It depends how you partition. With full adoption, you can't read files from the card as they are all encrypted.

Tried it in B313 and is not working. The SDCard appears as damaged, and prompts me to format it. I noticed that the process "sm partition disk:170:169 private" just lasted about 5 seconds...which is weird if you say it takes a while...
PS: Got OTA update to B320.Gonna update and then try again.

Nice! After updating to B320 it works flawlessly. I have been waiting for this for a long time...Thank you!!!

hi, i try to execute commands to obtain the storage setting as in the guide, but i am stuck in adb shell, with error.. can you help me?
i've installed adb setup 1.4.3 and hionor suite to have all drivers and software on set in windows 10, and when i go to adb shell, all goes well, but if i try sm list-disk, there is an error :

what can i do?

Hi, seems like I dont see the newly added internal storage anywhere. How can I add or remove files to it? Please help. I am totally confused.

In Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Storage you should see it, as per the screenshot.
Things will automatically install to it or you can move them around.

How badly would things explode if I started the phone without the SD card?

It's surprisingly tolerant. You'd just be missing the apps from the SD.

Error: java.lang.IllegalStateException: java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException: Thread Binder_6 gave up waiting for partitionPrivate after 180000ms
Any ideas?

I had that with one card, I figured it was too slow and used a different one!

In a nutshell, regular SD storage only allows you to put limited types of data on the card, with adopted storage everything can go on the card. It's a lot more 'set up and forget' than the old way.

Yea! It really sounds. Going to adopt. Thanks Sir!

I used this on B330 and i´m a little bit confused.
System shows internal and sdcard 8gb free space
FreeSpace shows sdcard 29gb free but not an adopted sdcard
ES explorer doesn´t show any sdcard also other apps like airdroid show any sdcard just internal with 10gb ?
update:
after working with the phone (install apps, copy pictures) it seems that the adopted sdcard works properly
update 2:
there are now some apps that did not start. reinstalling doesn´t help. very strange

Can you post pics from your storage settings page?

I just made a factory-reset and try again to adopt the sdcard
I will report what happen then
update
after factory reset my phone can´t read the sdcard so i put the sdcard into my pc but windows says ´no disk´.
with partition wizard i saw 2 partitions, 16mb primary fat32 and 2nd with the rest of space
I tried to delete both partitions and format the sdcard but nothing happens.
maybe the card is dead...
