Well ok, it says that my SD card has 167MB free, but there are only a few files that altogether have 29MB out of my 1.84 capacity SD card.
The files just don't appear.. What should I do?
Backup your data from SD card, and then format your card. Have you tried that?
Sent from my GT-S5670
Nope...
Even when copied to the PC, folders don't appear.. IDK WTF HAPPENS (
Its probably a virus
open sd card in pc
click on organize>folder and search option>view>show hidden files and folders> tick on "show hidden files" and apply (its for win7, in xp you will find these option in the tools menu)
you will see your folders as hidden, unhide them in properties
if you dont see your folders, check the hidden settings again, if it automatically goes back to "do not show hidden files" it means generic.worm has infected your pc.

Dear all
I've had my htc advantage x7510 for a month or so now, just got it set up all lovely and now completely randomly it won't load many of the applications i have installed on the flash drive. I get the cannot load xxxx file as its not signed or one of the components is missing.
I can see the flash drive in explorer and copy and delete files to and from it, but i can't even uninstall any of the problematic programs or resinstall them as it fails each time.
Is this a WM6 error needing a hard reset (tried a soft reset and no good) or is it something to do with WM6 now not fully seeing the flash drive?
Help - god this is damn frustrating.
Regards
Andy
Do you have an SD Card? Seems to me there is something strange with the registry settings.
I remember having a similar problem back when I was using my Universal. For some reason the Storage Card got renamed so none of my applications would launch.
You might have to do a Hard Reset and a full install from scratch. This time invest on SPB Backup and make sure you keep a fresh copy.

If it is only a matter of changed (for any reason) name of the disk, then you can manualy change back the name of the disk and then softreset. It should be named "Flash Disk" (if we are talking about 16GB disk).

The system won't allow you to simply rename it.
Back then I found out the cause was WM5torage. I had to find a way to disable WM5torage first, delete Storage Card folder (newly created), and simply soft reset. Renaming the Storage Card 2 to it's original name "Storage Card" did not work, the system won't allow me.

I never had a problem with Flash disk, but few times had a problem with Storage Card.
If one of your programs uses it (i.e. your poutlook saves your attachments on it) and your card is out or not working then the system automatically creates a folder in main memory named "Storage Card".
Next, when your real storage card starts to work again, the system names it "Storage Card2", and you are in a trouble, cause all your programs using it, can not reach their folders on "Storage Card".
The solution:
Delete the "Storage Card" folder (using proper explorer: Resco or Total Commander), and then either rename your Storage Card2 to Storage Card, or just softreset.
I've done it many times.
I assume similarly could happen with Flash disk if for any reason (somebody fiddling with registry, in.eg.).

I have Total Commander installed in my Storage Card back then. Even now, all my applications are installed in my Flash Disk. So Total Commander did not work either when that happened to me. I had to use File Explorer, and as you know it is not capable of doing that as I found out. I assume you have Total Commander and Resco Explorer installed in the Main Memory.
I am just glad back then that I was able to sort it out and not do a Hard Reset, although I was VERY close to doing it from frustration. Maybe I need to follow your tip, install Total Commander in the Main Memory. Just in case.
anyone know a way this works properly,
basically the registry has been tweaked to save mail to storage card, but when you reboot the phone the storage card changes to storage card2,
ive disabled sense/touch flo,
nothing else is is booting up in windows mobile
before i reboot though the mail does store on storage card, but when i reboot it makes a folder on the phone memory
how can i stop this once and for all??
manny questions on this but nowhere answers
+1
I have same problem.... no solution ... still working
I don't think there is a fix for this, its due to the way the hardware works on newer HTC devices.
Problem is when booting the phone, the registry is read before the the SD card is ready.
So when the phone reads "storage card" as a location and the card is not ready the phone will make a folder called storage card.
Now when the SD card is finally ready it want to call itself "storage card" but the name is allready taken, so now it names itself "storage card2"
ive sorted this when i had this problem
open up resco file explorer and you'll see that it sees the device memory, storage card and storage card 2. 'storage card' will be empty, so just delete it, then reboot. (dont rename storagecard 2).
when you turn it back on, everythings in order again
Old problem requires new solution
Hi,
This problem is happening in the old WM5 and previous.
The say to avoid the creation of Storage Card before the mounting of the real SD was simply removing the "messaging" application from the Today Screen.
Now, the solution seems to be different.
I hope we can find it soon.

Can you confirm that you have all mails in the storage card?
Please note that only attachments can be moved to Scard without this problem, and it is when you try to move all mails that after a reset the Store card 2 issue happens.

FOUND THE ANSWER!!
After many reboots etc.,
1.Delete the storage card on the device!
2.Eject the storage card on the phone and reinsert (while phone is still on). (check filemanager shows Storage Card Only)
3.Hit Windows Start, go to email, then menu, then options, then storage.
4. Tick "When available, use storage card to store attachments", Click OK.
5.Restart HTC Sense and Voilla all is fixed!
Are you sure your have now all maiLs in Sdcard, or only the attachments?
Hi all,
i found the solution! (actually all post help me find out).
SOLUTION:
1- remove your SD-Card from phone.
2- open file manager, you should see "STORAGE CARD". if you open it, you can see there are some folders for email (inobx.********).
3- delete all. "STORAGE CARD" & "STORAGE CARD2" &...
4- now insert your SC-Card. it will be "STORAGE CARD" :cyclops:
good luck
well i formatted my SD card because i had to partition it, so i backed up all the contents on my SD to my computer.
the partitioning went well, but now i have a blank SD card. and whenever i try to copy back the stuff from my computer to the SD card, i get some weird error like "the path is too deep to copy the file" or something along those lines.
i tried it thrice, but each time it failed. i don't have a card reader, so i was copying using the standard USB wire.
any suggestions as to what i should do?
I had this once go to my computer then right click your sd card then click on properties then click on hardware then click on ST340015A (may be different but it's should be close) then click on properties then click policies and the bit where it says enable write cache if it's a tick then untick it and restart if there is no tick then tick it and restart. Hope it works for you.

Pull down the notification bar.press the mass mount storage.and then press connect.Hope it will solve your promblem.Or just go and buy a SD Card reader.it happens when partitioned your SD card.
Its an effect of sd partitioning...
Copy files in small amounts like 5 folders at a time...
I have this problem whenever I flash a custom kernel, now I use dual mount sd widget I don't face any such problem...
Hello
you are welcome
You can also use Long Path Tool to sort out this problem.
I just got a legit sandisk 32gb class 4 off of newegg and before swapping I transferred everything from the external SD folder to my internal, did the swap, formatted in the phone then swapped the contents of my old external SD to the new one. Rebooted a few times but my apps will not load. All my apps are saved to phone or internal SD card as well.
Does anyone know why?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
copying from external to internal would not have copied hidden files.. and many of the apps may have had their own direcdtories on external sd with hidden files..
i always do this is pc by backing up old sd to a directory on the pc (make sure to have view hidden and system files on)
they copy back to a new sd card..
double check what was copied by doing a check disk on the old and new cards and comparing number of files and directories including hidden.. should be the same.
Even if show hidden files was checked off within the phone options itself?

I keep all the .apk files in a seperate folder on my PC ,as I switch phones to the newest thing once or twice a month,I swap my SD card to new phone,then reinstall the programs from the .apk folder using Astro or whatever your choice of software ,the saved files will find the newly installed progs with hidden files and all,you dont even have to reinstall key codes,passwords or nada,If you are a SICK phone Junkie like me,it will save you lots of stress...Vegas
Sorry, is there a way to move this to the Q and A section? my XDA app doesn't show the Q&A area.

I tried Titanium backup today and it can't write my Micro SD Card, how do I allow that? Also Airdroid can't write to the Micro SD card as well, I tried their instruction but it didn't work (it open up the default file manager app and it didn't seems to show what the app said...
could it be that while introducing the sd card into ur system, android encrypted the storage? try and completely format the sd card, see if that helps remove the encryption... (beware, that might take a while, so just let it sit there for an hour or so if it seems to be "stuck")
after opening the stock file manager , u have to go to settings and select show advanced storage (don't know if it's the correct name in english) go out of settings and u will see selection on the left side. select ur sd card and then choose "select all" titanium backup isn't working for me on ext card, the same with spotify. it works only if stock file manager is opening at writing access from the app u want to use with ext card

I don't think so because I simply put my Micro SD card from S4 into Mate 8 and it see the card and it's contents normally right away.

Hmmm, I somehow managed to make AirDroid work... By choosing the select all button at the bottom of the stock file manager after selecting the external card (not in the settings).
hm ok, well its was just an idea anyways

I got it working.
Going to Setting -> Preferences -> Backup folder location -> Storage provider (click to change) (the white text just below the grey "Browse to the path your backups will be stored..." paragraph) -> Then choose the DocumentProvider storage and then choose your location again. TB prompt if I want to move backup from old folder, I said yes even though it was the same folder. It took only a few seconds.
Now I can back up in my Micro SD .

Were you able to find a similar setting for Move to SD? I don't even have that option available to me in TiBu.
