[Q] Camera not running at all - Turn off usb storage to use camera - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Guys
I am very dissapointed with the galaxy s that I recently bought from singapore. It doesnt have international warranty, which is kind of awkward. Next, I am not able to
1. use the camera (always getting msg - Turn off USB storage to use camera)
2. not able to use Internal 16 gb memory as it says (Internal SD card - total space: unavailable, avialable space: unavailable) - I somehow managed it work once though by removing the battery and setting to factory settings. Then the camera also started to work. However, when I restart the phone it went back to "unavailable - internal and external memory" again. camera is complaining to turn off usb storage to use it.
3. not able to make use of external memory as mount sd card and format sd card are grayed out and total space/available spaces are showing as unavailable)
I am currently on Factory rom with following specifications.
Baseband Version I9000DXJPB,
Firware Version - 2.2;
Kernel version - 2.6.32.9 root-at-SE-S604 #1;
Build Number : FROYO.DXJPE
I have been searching on net for solutions but not been successfull yet. Can anyone please help as I am getting very emotional about the money I spent on it. I will be very thankful to the brainy people out there who can resolve my Galaxy S issues. I dont want to loose such a wonderful mobile because of the above petty issues. Samsung helpdesk at NZ are not responding for some reason and same as the singapore samsung helpdesk.
Thanks in advance

I have the same Problem as vbrsekhar have...
& i have a samsung Vibrant...
Please somebody help us...!!

Did you try mounting your SD card. Format SD card should be greyed out if SD card is mounted.

step one get odin
step 2 visit the vibrant fourms as this is a galaxy s 4g not the vibrant
step 3 download a odin stock rom (pre rooted or not) that has the pitt file
step 4 re parttion and flash
step 5 use phone as intended

Ask in the vibrant section or I9000 we have never seen. This problem because we don't have the same hardware

Or try to buy another i9000 camera unit and install it in again to your unit

Hi Guys!
I was just googling in order to find the ways to solve this problem.
Every time I push on camera icon the phone asks me to turn off USB before i want
to use the camera.I have done this 100 times but this doesn't solve my problem.
The second problem is that the phone does not find the sd card!
I am sure that this has nothing to do with sd card,coz the sd card is ok (I have changed 3 different cards already)
Model number I9000
Firmware version 2.3.4
Baseband version I9000XXJVQ
DarkyROM v10.2
The phone is having those problems since several months.It belongs to my dad who could not solve the problem and bought an Iphone 4
Nevertheless I am trying to fix this and flashed Darkyrom 10.2 today.(the phone has had Darky'srom 5.2,which I flashed in October 2010)
Model number I9000
Firmware version 2.3.4
Baseband version I9000XXJVQ
DarkyROM v10.2
PLEASE HELP
P.S.sorry for mistakes I have probably done.English is not the language I am fluent in.

Anyone knows how to fix this? Please HELP
Noticed today that both cameras work great while videocalling.But the problem remains

Nore is reading please visit the vibrant fourms as any rom here will brick your device

i know your problem bro... your mobile is a reconditioned unit...you are using your external memory instead of an internal memory right? your camera will not work until you did not partition it as occurs....

Im having this exact same problem. Help please?!

The Infuse's internal is partitioned in 2. The first half is seen as full on internal, the second half is considered to be an sd card, an internal sd card. And no, there is no way to format it.

what do you mean format? i mean you can format it by factory resettign the phone through settings but that formats the data partition as well and loses all your data. you may be able to format it in windows but none of this will change the size of anything. you cant change the partition tables, well technically you can but don't you will brick your phone! and sinse 2gb is on a different device all together you cant change that at all either.
you seem a bit confused on how this all works. the 1.77 or 2 gb is phone storage, it is used for apps, contacts, message storage, phone related stuff. the 13.1 or 14 is sd storage built into the phone, the aditional 2 is external sd storage (it's under the sim card, remove the battery to get to it. you can expand it up to 32 +the 14 built into the phone). the numbers below advertiesed are just different ways of measuring gigabytes. the definition of giga is 1billion but in conputing they use powers of 2 tradidionally so killo isn't 1000 it's 1024 mega isn't 1million its 1,048,576. mega and kilo pretty much aloways are interperated that way in computing. giga/tera however sometimes use there literal meanings 1billion/1trillion and sometimes mean 1000/1,000,000 megabytes and might also mean 1024/1,048,576 megabytes which would be 1,073,741,824-bytes for gigabytes, if you look at packaging of new hard drives there is often a disclaimer on the method they are using to advertise the capacity. i dont remember which way windows reads gbs but this is one reason hard drives never report the same space as advertised and why you see 13.1 instead of 14 and part of why you see 1.77 (some of it is used for the /system and other partitions) instead of 2.
And that's why you are one of the best there is DANi...I learn from listening to your thorough answers and explanations...very nice..

hi guys thanks, i just moved from an iPhone so i didn't know that works like that, i got a message saying that i didn't have any room in my phone that's why i was lil confused when i thought the phone had 14 GB int storage. Is there a way to download app's from the market to the sd card ? i mean i know i could move them one by one. but is there a way to download them directly to the sd card ?
Sorry just new to all of this

that's weird. did you install a whole bunch of app? or things like ringtones ect?
1.77gb is alot for a phone and i never filled up the storage. unless it is the market bug where apps above a certain size never download. if that's the case you need to downgrade the market. if the phone did not come with the new market you can go into settings>applications>all and find the market/vending.apk then you can uninstall updates. if you would like to install a custom rom then gtg465x had a fix for this in a custom market .apk with his roms, and entropy and linux bozo have a kernel fix in their gingerbread kernels so the new market will download apps of any size.
if you infact filled the storage then you can move apps to the sd card in settings>applications>downloaded but keep aftermarket launchers and applications with widgets on the phone storage. the reasaon is that the sd card doesnt mount till after the ui starts and apps on the sd card will disapear from the home screen, if the launcher is on the sd card it will default to the touchwiz launcher. you can also do this in bulk with titanium backup.
Hi
hi yeah it tells me i have 1.7 gb free and i get a message from the mark. i try to download i all the angry birds games at the same time and the first one was able to install fine and then i get that message from the market . i had to move that game to the sd before installing the rest i just installed this ROM MIUI - and when i had the stock ROM i never had this problem - i really like this ROM ... i only have like 5 apps installed and i have moved most of them to the SD - Facebook wont move and A.I Type wont move to the SD the rest are on the Sd -
i read some where on the web where i could go in terminal type a code and have all the apps that i download go there directly to the in.. sd card - im not sure if this is possible that's why im asking @
That no space warning is a bug in Market, go to settings>market and uninstall updates.
Things should download then, search Market fix.
Or just reboot...it will fix it also...done it many times

the newwest miui "should" have a kernel end fix. i mean the aosp kernel was developed by linux bozo and he put out a market fix on the hellraiser kernel but i dont keep up with the aosp roms.
if the kernel isn't part of the latest miui you may want to try the cm7 kernel, it is possible that because jordan elliot is having family things going on that are more important that he hasnt updated the kernel since the fix was released.
anyway it doesnt matter where you put the apps the low space message is an error. it has little to do with the space available.
when you have questions like this it helps on occasion to provide the carrier the phone is for(rogers/att), the rom or kernel you may have installed and if it is stock provide the baseband and maybe even what network you are on if it is not the one that the phone was released for. there may be known issues or differences that affect the answer and it is more productive if you can avoid having questions answered with questions or really broad answers.
Hi thanks for your help man like I said im new to this .. i was getting a msg from the market saying that because I think the market has a 30 mb download limited ... everything is working from know.. next time ill try to read more before I post lol ..

But, i can't move or install app, game on the sd card, i can just on phone and internal storage. My phone is root, how can i amke ?

What is a "GS"?
If the "GS" is Android, you can try this way:
Settings | Applications | Manage applications | Downloaded | Move to SD Card

You can't do many with internal storage unless you root your phone. What i know about internal storage is cannot be partitioned.

How to install apps on SD
I did it many time and I think that to fully install apps on SD you need to know its steps:
1. Root phone.
2. Partition your SD card
3. Install app that help move all data app on SD, such as Link2SD, S2E, ...
all that stuff u can find on Google or just in xda forum. they talk 'bout that every day
But I think maybe U did it all but still got unsuccessful. I think 2GB internal storage is big enough to install app and U don't need to try anymore. Just choose what app to keep and what not to keep for your phone. GS III is a smart expensive phone, Is your matter deserve to try? I just have 180MB internal storage (Mini) and do a lot of stuff just to get more 500MB, but I lost 1 SD-Card dear
if you have a locked phone(not rooted) its up to every applications security settings if you can move it to sd or not.
This setting is deprecated on Google Play and new apps will have licensing service , but for now its up to developer choice.
thx all, i have find, i cgange a file sytem vlag if i think and work.
My sd card isnt detected
I was flashed and running with s-off. I was using 4K atom azul for the evo 4g. I wanted to be able to use my FFC but i couldnt figure it out with that rom. and then i decided to upgraded to the one that look like black beans but is made by team dirt. hated the fact i couldnt use my camera so i reverted back. after reverting back i got the 5 vibrations thing and black screen. Now i have my s-on and did the ruu. after several failed attempts my phone suddenly booted back to the 4k atom azul. i was stoked that i knew how to get it back but now i have no way of using the wifi or bluetooth, and plus my sd card is not found by any program says i have it mounted and when i go to settings to unmount it says to insert a sdcard. i have my 32 gb sd card in there. I dont know why my phone is no longer rooted. and i am scared to pull the battery out and try anything because of the simple fact i might not have a phone for another couple days and i about drove myself crazy not having a phone.
a little info:
I had s-off and idk what else... other than using amon ra for recovery image and formatting and reset factory data before installing another rom. it became an addiction to get another rom every week. and now i am stuck in the situation described above.
I have been doing the reboot over and over the past couple days before i got the 5 vibrations fixed back to normal, that the information below is what i remember from trying to recover...
supersonic evt3 ship s-on
hboot-2.10.0001
microp-041f
touch panel-amtel224_16ab
radio-2.15.00.11.19
oct 15 2010, 12:07:00
This above might not be exactly right.
I used a PC36IMG.zip file that i had after reformatting my sd card. it would not run the PC36IMG.zip file that i put on the root and recover my system so i had to do the ruu thing...
It would read something like this below...
Loading...[PC36DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading...[PC36DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading...[PC36IMG.zip]
and it would successfully read the PC36IMG.zip but would not restore and a little scroll bar as it read the file would come up... i used fastboot usb and miraculously i have my 4K atom that i tried to reflash on my evo before it messed up.
I know that i still have s-on but it puzzles me how i have the s-on and running a rooted rom. my hotspot works and so does the GPS and navigation, i just can not connect to my wifi, or boot back into recovery without getting the black screen and 5 vibes of diagnostic so i am kinda stuck. My phone will send text and call out and let me download apps for what little internal memory i have on it; I hate i dont have an sd card to save pictures too, or and sd card to put music on to play in the car...
Thank everyone for your time, I just joined today but I have been a flashing freak for the last year or so once i figured out how to do it. I used unrevoked as my flashing software. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Usually my phone gives me the option to move recently downloaded or updated apps to the sd card...

[Q] [Help a new owner!] Incoming massive request for help.

First off let me thank everyone who is going to help me through my issue.
Everything started yesterday when I got a16 gigabytes new SD Micro card. I originally got the card so I can move my applications from the internal 16 gigabytes storage to that SD Micro card . After searching through the web I have realized that I cannot move my applications to the external memory until I root my device and so I did it using a guide from this website. after rooting my device I downloaded every application in play store that is used to move applications from the internal memory to the external one.And for some reason all of them failed'Someof them said that there is no enough memory. and some others said I have no External memory inserted "already checked in settings and it says external memory 14.98 Gb free. After that i read another guide which Said I should get Rom manager to partition my memory card.and I did download the Rom manager . I tried to partition but it said I don't have CWM , and it asked ifit should install it so I accepted. mydevice wasn't listed. I chose a random one and now I'm afraid I have broken my 3 days old note 10.1 . Could anyone help me please with
1. The Sd micro card issue(apps From internal memory't external memory.)
2. The random CWM device that I have downloaded and maybe installed.
3. Partitioning my card (if that's going to help.)
4. I'm new to android and have no idea what rooting is "although I did it anyways" and how I Can use rooting
Rooted note 10.1
Thank you again <3
Edit 1- 8 views no help? Id really appreciate it if anyone could help me.
I think some sort of reply will help you get started...
Note 10.1 only supports FAT 32. not NTFS. So you have to format your SDcard properly to begin with. I believe its true, you need to root your device to get AppOnSD support.
NEVER flash anything that is not intended SPECIFIC for your device. Always do a backup so you can restore it from an image if you happen to soft brick it.
Rooting pretty much allows you to get "super user" functionality. Most notably the ability to access system files.

I'll try to help with fixing your Note.
Can you get into download mode? Start with power off and press volume down and power at the same time.
If so download Check Fus (GGI version) from fus.nanzen.se and make you have Odin and the Samsung drivers as described in the how to root thread.
Check the back of your Note for version number; N8000, N8010 or N8013. Use Check Fus to download the correct rom for your country. If not the nearest one.
Follow the how to root guide (sticky in development) that explains how to install the rom. This should put you back where you started. Now, read a lot. Don't use Rom Manager.
http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-10-1-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-10-1/ How to root instructions. Your replacing the rom from the instructions with the one you downloaded from Check Fus.

I said I think I broke my note because I downloaded and installed a random cmw from Rom manager when I tried partition my sd card .
And I have a problem moving apps to the sd card. In app2sd it says it's emulated andin droids it says memory is full.
Then I'll back out. I've no experience of apps2sd on the Note. Have had no cause to use it. I strongly suggest you read a lot more before you attempt anything else involving door, partitions or CWM.

[Q] P3110 ...internal sd probs.

Just rooted my new 3110, successfully .......(or so I thought) . Now I cannot install anything on internal SD. Whenever I try, I get "not enough space" error message - even the 2 apps(only had the tab 3 days)! that were on the sd before I rooted, have mysteriously moved to phone memory. I cant even install FolderMount , which I had already d/l. Forgive a newbie, but having rooted my Galaxy W phone 18 months ago with very few problems, was hoping tab would be as reliable. Anyone help? (as I dont want to unroot just to be able to use internal sd memory.) Thanks in anticipation.

I'm confused, how did you get apps to run on your external SD without root? Didn't know that was possible. Did you try clearing the dalvic cache? Seemed to do the trick when i had issues with lucky patcher causing that same error. I may be way off base though.
Edit: i think I'm confused, sorry, that advice is surely off. Uhm, perhaps reflashing stock and trying again,seeing as how you do not have much data to loose, using the auto root Odin flashable file.
This is what i use. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33303017

...........Thanks for the help.. Wasnt talking about ExtSdcard, but sdcard0, the internal storage -,sorry for confusion-. Although "Install manager" shows all apps as being installed on "phone" memory, & "external" memory empty, both "Disk Usage" & "Root Explorer" show the same files/size used, in both locations, so I now figure I may have partition problems after rooting (I used this system : http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1596) Will try the auto method as per your link if I cant solve the issue (though hoping a quick fix might be possible.!) Thanks

Still "not enough space" issues.
Ok. I tried wiping data, flashing back to stock rom, then chainfires auto - root method. All went well - device rooted (again!) fine, BUT I`m STILL having problems with storage. Some apps (especially games) wont install - am getting "not enough space" message, just as before. It seems that all apps that need to be intalled on the devices internal "sd" (such as" FileMount") card just wont.
Please forgive a couple of lame questions, but having never owned a tab before, I`m new to their "vagaries" - Also I have searched here & other online forums for an answer, so forgive my badgering all you "fonts of tekkie wisdom."
. Mine is the 8gb model, & I know a lot of this is taken up by system/ram etc - the "device memory" reports a total of 4.49gb, but TB (& other root apps like sd maid) states : Rom 1.26 gb, internal 4.92GB, sd card 4.82gb (with exactly the same space used in both , i.e. 1.50gb. I also have 32gb micro sd inserted. - Is there an internal partition for the "sdcard0" space , or it there a "physical" internal sd card ? If so how do I format thhis? If not could I have a partition problem? (The reason I ask is that none of the "move to sd" apps I have tried like app2sd, install manager etc work - They state, apps have moved when they clearly havent.
So I think it may be an internal partition problem, (which I presume hasnt been solved by reflashing stock, and re- rooting.) - I did notice that when I was re-rooting by CF auto root, in odin there was partition check box, but CF instructions said "if, & ONLY IF, device is bricked, to check this box. - So how can I , - 1. confirm whats causing the problem?, & 2. -Solve it?
Thanks for any help & advise hopefully, proffered, forthwith.:fingers-crossed:
do a simple thing! factory reset your tab. click format sd ! these issues are solved just by formatting the sd, be it internal! :good::good:

Its a partition, its an emulated SD card. I think the post above me has the right idea.
Also, none of those apps will work. You will need use a sdcard swap script, gl2sd(app), foldermount, or some root app or script that is similar to those.
I think you will need a custom recovery, (like cwm, or twrp) to format the internal "sdcard", i never really used the stock recovery much, but it seems like an option they would leave out. I think there is an oden flashable in developer section. I would find links for you, but i got to get the kids ready. Shouldn't be hard to find.
If you can not format the internal SD using stock recovery, here is a link to the Odin flash able cwm.
PS. I really do not think it is a partition prob., and i wouldn't click the repartition option.

Fixed!!
OK Folks - seems I have fixed the problem, by uninstalling all apps (inc "moving" apps) that dont work or are "buggy" , cleaning/wiping caches/data, then I was able to install FolderMount from here, and now all the instability/storage problems gone. (Am so impressed with FolderMount have bought pro, as I am a bit windy when in comes to T.E`s or running scripts! My 32gb is filling fast enough anyway!)
Thanks for the help chaps - dont know what us "am hacks" would do without you! :highfive:

Cool, glad to hear it. I love foldermount. After weeks of searching, that app/dev came to the rescue, it is well worth buying pro!

Nothing is working in my phone!

Hello, I am newbie i needed help, i am having android v.2.3.4 and there are many problems which i am facing i searched the forum but i didnt found any post which would help me to solve my problem so i thought to post it
first of all my memory card is not getting detected by phone and it is also not starting without it and when i try to start camera it says "turn of usb storage before using camera " but no usb storage is connected according to my phone and when i remove the memory card and put other memory card then also it is not starting
please help ,
Thanks in advance
Anyone please reply..
You can try (if usb connection is working) to connect the phone to samsung keys and update your 2.3.4 to the latest 2.3.6.
Otherwise you can follow the procedure to flash kpe (2.3.4) or ddlf2 (2.3.6) with Odin v. 1.35, but you will lost all of your internal sd data.
Thank you i'll try
