Today my 32gb sd card stopped working on me and now when i try download and install apps all i get is not enough space yet i have 6gb internal memory.
I tried downloading apps of google chrome on the phone and installing that way but says the same thing,
The phone kept unmounting and mounting my sd card untill it didnt work..
I really dont know what to do, ive searched on the internet and everything and nothing seems to help.
I think you the sd card is either corrupted or removed unexpectedly (without unmounting)
Is your card readable when connected to PC or laptop? If yes this could be a minor problem. Switch off your phone, remove your sd card and re insert it.
Hope it may fix the problem.
Regarding space, the core apps and system UI will consume some hidden space even though you have space left over. Clear all cache, history and offline data, It will buy you space.

I'm using MIUI-1.12.9 with APPS2SD after preparing a 512MB partition for the apps on my 8GB Class2 MicroSD Card. The remaining section I used to store files for flashing, music, data, etc.
Now all of a sudden, my phone gives me 'You may remove the SD Card' error. It shows the MicroSD Card as unavailable and even when I connect vias USB, the computer cannot detect it. I tried connecting the card separately to the computer using an adapter, but no luck. However, it still reads the EXT3 partition where all the apps are stored as all the apps are still available to me.
Any ideas on what could be wrong and how to resolve this? I want to backup all my apps first but I can't do that with out Android recognizing the card
I don't have a solution for you, but just out of curiosity why in the hell do you use APPS2SD on Defy? After you install the ROM there is around 1GB of free space on the internal memory. This is more than enough to install over 100 apps. Moreover you can move some of the to SD-card from the interface (Manage Applications).
I figured, the more space I free up the more breathing space right? Anywhich way it was working great. No noticeable lag even though I use a Class 2 SD Card. When all of a sudden after over a week, it suddenly gives me a notification "You can safely remove your SD Card now." Huh? Even after reboot, it gives me the same message. I took out the card and plugged it directly in and it doesn't read, but the EXT3 partition still works fine!
I could just get a new card and start from scratch. But I'm intrigued by this error! Gotta get to the bottom of this. Didn't get any response on the General forum, so I figured I'd try my luck here at the risk of annoying a few people. Can anyone help with any suggestions?
I've been reading a lot. I'm trying to get some way to move applications after having swapped the memory. I'm using SM with an sript (extsd2internalsd xz.txt) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2430046. It works but is unstable, suddenly disappear the music or some application and is necessary to reboot until you get t again. Meanwhile, a notice: "not enough memory, some functions stop working" , appears. Besides, any new application you install, goes directly to the old internal memory, despite it appears like sd card (external). I'm trying to find some way to move applications from the true internal memory ( false external) , to the new internal (sd card). Any help!!!
Thanks
Firstly, sorry for my poor English.
Recently, I found that there was only a little space left of my internal storage of my s7.
So I moved some apps to the SD card and it was still ok yesterday night.
Today my s7 was a bit laggy and I tried to restart my phone but problems occurred.
All the apps moved to SD card became gray icons and showed 'application is not installed' whenever I click them.
I tried to reboot my phone several times but it doesn't work.
I even tried to unmount the SD card in the setting, but it was even worse.
The problem wasn't solved and the Musci app cannot even load all the songs stored in SD card. But the photos can still be loaded in gallery.
I searched for this and formatting the card may be a solution for this but are there any other ways to tackle the problems?
I feel really sad and please can anyone help me T_T? Thanks a lot T_T
same here.
i could not find any solution.
it happened twice.
now i don't move any app on card, aas this happens with apps only.
Rather move all my media, pics and videos onto card
I'm having a problem with my Z3, where it seems to be counting data and/or apps stored to the external SD card as part of the internal storage, which is leading the phone to show as being full when it isn't.
As you can see in the screenshots below (no you can't because all my xda posts are somehow gone and I'm back to being a noob who can't post links) , my 16gb phone believes that it contains more than 22gb of data, the main problem being more than 16gb of apps, which are in reality stored on the SD card.
When I eject the SD card, the apps disappear, and the internal storage drops to what looks like the correct level (with apps showing at 5.88gb).
Some of the apps, notably Amazon underground and Vainglory, seem to be much larger than they should be, e.g Vainglory at over 4gb, when it should be 1.25gb, and Amazon being more than 2gb when it should be around 124mb (as they are on my Nexus 9). So it looks to me that somehow the phone is counting the apps and data stored on the SD card more than once. I've tried tried uninstalling both of those apps, incase it is an Amazon underground issue (vainglory is installed from Amazon). That helps free up some space (apps still show over 10gb though), but the next biggest app is Google Play Music, which is also showing data that is stored on the SD card as being part of the internal storage. When I reinstall Vainglory from the Playstore (still storing the data on the SD card), it shows as being 3.47gb, smaller but still way too big. So the problem is clearly not related to Amazon.
I'm running a stock Sony rom, Android 6.0.1 build 23.5.A.1.291 on a D6603.
Can anyone help me with this before I go nuclear and factory reset it again?
Hi!
I have Motorola G7 power xt-1955-4.
And I also got a 512gb Kingston hama sdcard.
The card was formatted as internal storage.
The problem is that today I saw that I can't access the files on my phone. This happened after I moved several files from phone to my computer, to free up some space.
Now, when I open File manager it shows "main storage not available".
I reinserted my SD card a couple of times, but I keep having a notification saying "checking sdcard... Reviewing current content".
When I go to Settings - Storage it says only "sdcard checking..".
When I press on "Checking sd card" notification only it gives me the option to Forget.
How can I access my SD card without formatting it?
Thank you.
You said you moved some files from the card to your PC? How did you do this? If you removed the card from the phone and put it in your PC, then what you effectively did was slice off part of your phone's storage, messed with the files, and put it back in. You cut off a piece of brain, rooted around in it, and tried to reattach it.
Internal storage means the card is not removable, and the storage space will be filled with files essential to the phone. Chances are to get the card to work again it needs to be reformatted.

Sorry I'm a bit late. I had this same issue recently. Until now, I have had a problem with any program recognizing the drive without offering to format it first. I can't do that because I am stupid and had important files on there I need. I just located DiskGenius and I am running it now.
Not sure this will repair the issue, but it recognized the sd card which I had set as the primary storage not knowing something like this could happen. It is running a search now for bad sectors. When it finds them, it will provide a repair, but the sectors will be deleted. I am hoping it won't be the sectors that contain my files that I need to recover. But it's a step in the right direction.
I now know not to set an sd card as main storage for Android, because it encrypts the files, and it tied the SD card to the system. I can't even install apps right now because the main storage is non existent.
I just had to throw out a 62g card due to corruption. I do t know how it happened but I eventually had to factory reset/wipe phone. I put the card in a laptop to reformat it. Wouldn't work. I'm getting a new card, but I will not make it phone storage. Bummed me out.
