I've had my Skyrocket since I bought it at the start of the year, recently I've been getting a problem with my SD card where the phone will keep making copies of the media files on the SD card, music and pictures especially and these copies are just blank ones that don't work. It's rather annoying and the problem causes my playlists to not work and the only fix I've found is to unmount and remount the card. Is this a SD card issue or an issue with the phone itself? Also after the remounting all my playlists are emptied out, and the copies get continually made, I've seen it make two additional copies.

I'm using the official ICS ROM from AT&T, 4.04

Does anyone know how to unify the Internal SD Card partition? My G2x (running Bionix rom) is showing me 3 storage spaces, i.e., it is showing 2 partitions for internal SD Card & 1 for external SD Card. I wanna know if I can unify the 2 partitions of my internal SD Card so that I can ACTUALLY move my apps to my external SD Card. Any help will be appreciated.

Lol. So true. I really hope I can get this question answered. I'm sure I'm not the ONLY one with this problem.

I've asked a couple people in threads but after getting down to doing it I've come across various posts throughout XDA and other sites listing issues after /emmc format. One case was that the device bricks unless you can repatriation the internal card and another simply recommending not to.
I'd like to format internal to get rid of all the junk left over after multiple ROM flashes. I'm hesitent due to the aforementioned threads but also curious as to whether /emmc includes everything on the internal memory or if there is a secure partition allocated for things such as CWM. Does formatting /emmc not delete CWM itself? The plan is to put the next ROM on external SD, format /emmc, and immediately flash the new ROM on before booting. Is it correct that I all this can be accomplished within CWM and not require first going back to stock through ODIN?
Thanks!
No need to go back to stock. You can format emmc or sdcard through settings-storage. Or connect to PC then click on mount USB storage and delete from PC.

I'm pretty sure the former is a no-no on the Skyrocket, recall coming across that when I was first rooting a while back. The PC approach should be similar to CWM, thanks.
wheres my brain??,.. lol your right about the settings approach. thanks for the reminder
Why would they put it in there if it's a no no?

I don't see why people have all that buzz around cleaning(formatting) the "internal" sd card ...
Just mount USB storage in cwm and while the device is connected to the PC , delete everything from the PC and call it a day ... also you can even put any ROM you like to flash in the meanwhile

Try it and brick. You haven't read about this? Ics and wiping in the settings is a no no. Do it in recovery.

most roms on ics have disabled the erasing/formatting of emmc from within phone, it may say succeeded, but its a false positive

the brick problem was for aokp and cm9 roms, a dev bricked his phone using said procedure , since then they disabled that feature(pretty sure they did), it might b visable in the menu but it doesnt do anything.
if you are on stock rogers ics it should be fine (i cant see samsung releasing it as that is a major flaw, lots of returned phones), if u r on it try it, it should b safe, if it bricked it, tell rogers what happen and u will get another one.
custom rogers ics should also b safe, im on skyics 4.2f based on rogers ics, but im not willing to chance it, dont need to since i can use cwm or my pc to accomplish the same thing
Hi, I'm a bit noob on these issues, a few days ago my phone brickied, but I solved it, after that when I connect the phone to my laptop recognize the SD card like internal memory and storage of the phone recognizes it as the SD card ....
I also like that I recommend an unofficial ROM
without bugs and stable for my phone, if possible
having bootloader
I hope someone can help me

Not sure what you are asking sir, I have installed these, which means I have either tested or ran the ROMs in the Dev. as far as sd card issues, there is none, now for CM9, the mount is different than Gingerbread...EMMC which means: Embedded Multi Media Card, vice the GB "ext SD" label.

the laptop does see the phone units, the problem is that it shows the wrong way .. shows the phone's internal storage like a removable card (SD)

i have instaled a stock rom
GINGERBREAD.UCLB3 2.3.6
I'm having this issue where everything that's on my SD card is doubled sometimes tripled. So I have triple of the same pic/song/video. My question is will doing a factory reset on CM9 erase anything on the rom? I know it will clear all my data and apps but will I still have root and the same version of CM9? Noob question I know.

And if you have any reason why my ex SD card is doubling I would love to know why. Thanks guys

I have that too, but only for ringtones and notifications. Not sure why. Drives me nuts.
Yeah I have over 1000 mp3 and now I have 2300 and the ones that are copies don't even play!!
Sent from my S2 Skyrocket running CM9 9.1.0 stable
yeah i used to have this problem but only on skyics. not really sure why...
anyways you can go to settings > apps > then media storage and just clear the data in there.
the duplicates came back when i did it but not for a couple days. hope this temp fix helps =D
Hmm, are they duplicating on the actual sd card? Or on the internal sd card/internal memory?
Edit: and to answer your question. You'll be fine with a factory reset. CM9 will be fine and you should not lose root.

For me, I believe they're only duplicated in the notification/ringtone dialogues. I haven't actually looked on the SD to see. Last time I looked, I think I had 5 separate instances of the Facebook Pop notification, for example, and 3 each of the ringtone and 2 notification tones I created.
Interesting I checked mine, and I am not doubled on anything. Maybe pop into root explorer and check? It would be interesting to see what you find...

I did find 2 instances of the Facebook Pop (both in /sdcard/media/audio/notifications and in /emmc/media/audio/notifications), but only 1 instance of my created ringtones.
I need to go through and clean up my internal and external memory, I just don't know what to delete.
I have the same exact problem and im on cm10.....wonder if its a bug in cyanogenmod??? Clearing the media storage data as mentioned works but only for a day or two.....only happens with my ext sd card too.....also formatted my sd card and tried a different one as well and got the same results

They are duplicating on my internal. I removed external and deleted the pics. But I can delete songs on apolo for some reason. And I can find the duplicates on my explorer. So annoying

I had a thought on this...
CMx and AOKP recognize /emmc, /sdcard, as well as /mnt/emmc, /mnt/sdcard, /mnt/sdcard0 (external) and /mnt/sdcard1 (internal). Those extra recognitions might be contributing to the duplicates...
I have that issue too lol

if the rom you're using is also copied to the sd or internal storage and uncompressed , the system reads the true file and the one in the "spare" uncompressed rom on sd .. result is "ringtone"*2 or notification *2
I have been using TWRP recovery for the longest time.
I had to recently change my SD card due to issues to a 64 gig SanDisk MicroSCXC card
All recoveries work fine. CWM, Phil etc but for some reason TWRP wont allow saving backup to external
it gives error
E: Unable to create folder: /external_sd/TWRP/
errno=13
failed to make backup folder
I formatted the card to exFat and Fat32 and in both cases same thing
Recovery can read the SD with no issues
Any ideas at this point?
