Hi,
I'm having this issue where the SD phone memory is not shown on the computer when I connect my S1 to the computer.
When I check my phone's file manager, I see it has 3 folders:
1. SD card: 13.43GB -> this one is not shown, I want to see this as it has all my pics
2. EMMC: 1.81GB -> this one is seen on the computer
3. Internal storage
My computer shows the EMMC drive and an empty drive letter.
I have latest stable CM and I have a 16GB SGS 1.
Please advise...
Thx

Boot into recovery mode look for mounts and mount your sd card then plug your phone into the computer - it should come up then. If it does not mount then unmount the sd card (IMPORTANT) then mount the external card (remember to unmount the external card before unpluging from computer or rebooting your device. Hope this helps.

Hi, the sd_card was allready mounted.
I'm not sure what to mount in the menu?
Things remain the same here...
Anybody got some tips?

if you are in recovery try to mount the external sd card and see if your pictures are there they will be under a file called DCIM. Double click on DCIM and you should have your pictures. Remember to unmount before disconnecting from computer
Are you using fast charge?

I can not access the External SD Drive on PC after I plug in the Samsung i9000.
1. Plug in
2. Press USB Mass Storage Mode
3. Press Connect button on phone
4. 2 drives appear in PC's My Computer
5. Only one is accessible, looks to be the internal SD drive, also with a subfolder named External SD
6. The other 1 drive is greyed, as if no drive is mounted there.
How do I access the External SD without going through the Internal SD Drive's External SD folder?
I should be able to access each drive separately right?
signature testing
discovered possible cause: SuperOptimizedKernel 4.7.4
There is another way.

3. GT-I9000 appears in PC's My Computer
4. Double click GT-I9000, 2 Drives called Card and Phone will show up
5. Double click Card which = External SD
(Phone = Internal SD)
yes, thanks,
This problem is caused by SuperOptimizedKernel on Froyo 2.2. A fix has been found.

if I turn on USB storage on the phone I can only find the internal memory on the pc, where can i find the sd card?
or do we always need to remove the card from te phone and use adaptor in pc
pretty stupid for a phone that costs around 500€
On my PC it is viewed as 2 SDcards, one 5.5 Gig and one 2.0 Gig(my external)

Your external sd are mounted in the internal...
So it should be /mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD
So just check in folder _ExternalSD on your sdcard

on the phone this is corect
but if i connect to pc , then i turn on usb storage @ phone
first the phone says " sd card safe to remove"
then notting happens , I turn on usb storage again and then I see only the internal @ the phone , tryed many thing , always I only see the internal , because the phone always seems to safly remote the sdcard first ....
puth the wired thing is wen i conect the phone on pc I can see two cardreaders
first one , the internal memory of the phone
second most be the sd card , but because the phone "safe remove" it first , I cant access it ....
really wierd
I have the same issue here, davjan.
I hope LG will fix this in a next firmware update.
(that they'll find a way to treat both SD-cards in the same manner).
It is the normal behavior to safely unmount the external SD. It does that to provide the computer with 2 different mass storage devices.
Do you happen to have a linux computer nearby?
You could view in dmesg how the SDcards are viewed.
Anyone found a solution to this problem? Why some people are able to see both cards and some others not?

I have the same problem as well. When I turn on the USB storage the pc is "seeing" only the internal sd card. The pc (under my computer) shows 2 different hard drives. When I turn on the USB storage only one of them "turns on" with 5.5GB. There is a file within the internal sd card called External sd card but not sure if this is the "way" to add stuff into the external sd card... anyone?
sd card
you must format sd card in your phone before use. settings-->sd card-->format external sd card. Its solved my problem too.

Million thanks.. it did the job. i can now see both. thank you.
So, where is my external sd card in folder structure? I have these folders, in the list showing when connected by USB and looking at the root level (shows as E:\ on my computer):
external_sd
sd (shows as a 'hidden' file/folder)
Is one of these actually the external sd card mount point (4GB)? And how do you see what is the remaining space on the card while in this view--not looking at it on the phone?
external_sd is the external card.
Which rom are you running?
My external card shows up as another drive when I connect via USB and click on Mass Storage on the phone and mount it. It is not a folder, but a physical drive with its own drive letter.
sd was used in 2.1
external_sd was used from 2.2 up
they are linked shortcuts that work within the android system, but dont work when unmounted to windows as the external sd will show up as another drive.

Very informative. Thanks.
Hi guys,
My external sd card suddenly cant be detected by both my phone and my computer
I tried flashing to many different roms and still no hope
Any suggestion please? :crying:
Thanks!
Connect your SD card via card reader to PC and try format it. If you don't see files or PC don't see this card - it can be damaged.
Card reader u mean the card adapter? i don have 1 of those
and when i connect my phone along with the external sd in it
the phone recognizes it as removable disk H but i was not able to open it
does this mean its not damaged?

The file system (partition) on SD card is broken - you need format SD card

Any other method to actually format it without the card adapter?
The easiest way is connect card via card adapter to PC and check that card and files are visible. If card is recognized but you can't access to it you need format it.
You also can do this in your own phone: in settings - memory - try disconnect external SD card and then erase/format external SD card.

formating/erasing options depends on which rom you use.
When you connect phone with PC and tap mount SD card (or something like that) on phone screen, you should see card on PC - can you see it? You write that it has assigned drive letter H - right click on that and format it.
I tried that it says "theres no disc in drive H:" Please insert a disc and try again
try mount SD card with and without USB debuging.
try format SD card via recovery
If you have different SD card try it to eliminate ROM/settings problem.
i cant erase my external sd because its not detected
the recovery cant mount it because the external sd is not found
trying with and without debugging also didnt work oh my god
i don really understand the last option though
"If you have different SD card try it to eliminate ROM/settings problem."
In your case there are two posibilites:
1) sd card is damaged - logically (file system/partition) or physically
2) phone is damaged - logically (ROM bug/phone settings) or physically
If you put other SD card in your phone and phone will see it and you will have access to files from that SD card you can be shure that phone is ok
