Internet Downloads?

When I try to download things from the internet onto my phone, it says I have insufficient storage. I formatted my SD and now have over 7GB of free space so I think the downloads are saving to my phone instead of my SD card. The problem is, when I go into my internet settings to "Download storage" it says "Storage card" underneath but it's grayed out. How do I fix this problem?

Anyone??? Please?

Did you format your SD card via your phone or via computer. If via computer, format it from your phone. Menu - Settings - SD & Phone Storage.

^I formatted it on my computer. Now, I just formatted it on my phone and my SD card wouldn't mount so I rebooted and now I'm stuck on loop on the FreshEvo boot screen.

Turn your phone off and then remove the SD card. Boot your phone to make sure you can boot normally. Afterwards, turn off your phone, reinsert your card and reboot, if you get stuck again, reboot into recovery and, depending on what you have, you *might* be able to format the card from there. If not, reformat via your phone. It *should* work. It always work for me.

I'm still stuck on the loop without the SD card in, and when I boot into Recovery it says it can't mount the SD card.

Your problem is not the SD card then. Your phone will operate without it. If you done a nandroid backup, I recommend that you use it to restore your phone to operating status and reformat your card once completed. Sorry for the delayed responses, I'm doing chores and stuff and reading the forums as time permits.

Do you, by chance, have a spare SD card? I just want to see you get out of the loop and into your phone's menu. I don't see the connection with you being unable to boot completely and your SD card because the card is not mounted until after you're at your homescreen. Also, if you're unable to mount your card for a nandroid restore then your phone is useless, but not completely so don't fret. Therefore, acquire a different card and go from there. If you have To buy one, buy a 4gb card. Remember, we're trying to get you to your homescreen and if push comes to shove, the ability to flash your rom.

I'm having the same issue with my HTC Desire. The Download Storage option in the browser settings appears grayed out. I've formatted the card through the phone menu, I've rebooted it but the issue remains.
Did anyone solve this?
Thanks in advance.

PLEASE HELP...Can't get SD Card Swapped!!

I just got a 32GB Micro SD Card for my evo and I am trying to replace my current 8gb card. I was previously running MIUI 11.26 and using clockworkmod recovery. I followed these steps because I couldn't find anything Evo specific:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/15/ho...-android-when-using-swap-hero-and-or-apps2sd/
when trying to format and reapply the rom i was using i received this error msg:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory)
Now I don't know where to go from there. I previously had a 16GB card fry because apparently i didn't take the correct steps to get it working properly, i do not want that to happen again. Can ANYONE give me specific instructions for swapping my SD Card for my Evo?? If so I would GREATLY appreciate it!!!
And yes...this is probably rather "noob-ish" and I DID already search the forums for any help and couldn't find what i was looking for. Again any help is appreciated
Thanks!!

just copy all files from your 8g card to the 32g card pop it in the evn and you are good to go, nothing special required. Unless you are using apps to sd, then the easiest way s to put all apps back on the phone, then after switching to the new sd put them all back on the sd.

Yea I tried that and kept getting an error msg. I think there are specific steps for partitioning etc I just don't know them.

sorry if i'm misinformed but the evo has 2.2/apps2sd built in and 2.2 partitions the sd card on reboot. The article u linked i believe is for devices with 2.1 or ealier and a modded apps2sd . I have swapped many different cards and have not had to do anything that special.
Here are my steps:
1. go into settings manage applications and pull all apps back to phone.
2. copy all files/pics/vids/whatever u want to keep to computer.
3. power off, swap out sd cards, power back on.
4. phone should boot and partition sd or whatever.
5. use astro file manager and if it shows directory for sd, asec, secure then everything is good and u can move apps back to sd.
6. hook phone to sd and move all your kept files from old sd to new sd

I have seen your problem happen with a bad sd card, where did you get the 32g card. You may want to test it and see if it is actually a 32g.

Thanks for the response...just a question before i go forward with it, when i replace the card and reboot the phone, is it automatically going to boot up w/ the rom i was using before replacing the card?
Edit: Tried these steps and got stuck in bootloop for MIUI (rom i had flashed previously). Even tried to put the initial PC36IMG file on the sd card and flash it through recovery, nothing! It searched for it then says it directory cannot be found. I've put the 32gb card in my card reader on my computer and it comes up just fine, I can add files to it, format it etc and everything works, any other suggestions...this is becoming highly frustrating! Again any help is definitely welcomed!

So i still cannot seem to get this working, and I've tried doing a lot of different things and nothing is working for me, I have tried to install some sort of file manager program (astro) but it doesn't recognize my sd card, yet my phone shows it as mounted and with plenty of space available. I do not know what else to do...can ANYONE help me?

i had a similiar problem recently. For christmas I received a new sd card. At fist it didn't recognize my card. I tried to format it using my PC but I then went to my recovery (Amon RA) and clicked on the Partition SD card option.
After I partitioned, I turned on USB-MS toggle and put all my files back into the phone (including my rom zip).
I disabled USB-MS toggle, and then wiped data/factory reset, cache, dalvik-cache
Flashed zip from sdcard and violoa. It works!
try that one out.

[Q] Blank SD Card?

Alright, I'm getting a notification that says Blank SD card in CM7, and on my sense ROM it said phone storage not found. Under memory in settings, it also says /mnt/emmc is not found, and my music is missing. I think this is because I loaded my own ROM that had apps to ext and a couple other storage features in it. If I take all my folders off my sd card, format it to fat32 and put them all back on, will I lose any functionality? Also, is there any other way to fix this?

Backup what you have on your sd card to your computer and then format the card to what you need. Then, put everything from your backup back on to the sd card and you should be fine.

This happened to me once on CM7 as well...and unfortunately I lost everything.
It wasnt the SD Card though - I dont even think it was the emmc. It was some odd error that I can only fix by doing a RUU.
And even then I had to factory wipe it through the RUU like 3 times.
Wasnt a fun experience...almost took it back to the Verizon Store.

CM 7, as do all AOSP roms, interacts with sd during boot for stuff it needs. As such, sd reformat prior to AOSP rom boot will result in failure, bootloop among the issues. So, don't do that.
If sd fails/failed already, your rom won't boot anyway, so you have to download a sense rom like Virtuous, boot it, and go from there.

On the gingerbread leak is when it happened, and it said phone storage not found. It wouldn't let me install Apps though.

Hm. if im not wrong im pretty sure that His rom converts it to a different format... so put ur sd card stuff in ur internal storage or your computer and then insert your sd card go to settings and storage it should say mount sd card and it should connect to it so the phone can understand it. theres an option to format the sd card i recommend just doing that since your data from ur sd is saved somewhere else and tada! you formated your micro sd card

Yeah I think. That might. Work because I just got a new 32 gig sd card and with that apps tosd hack I formatted it because it is kinda annoying that all that data goes to a fake internal with the nice hack but everything is on card ill just start fresh without format like with the old card thanks it worked fine before I formatted the card on high on androud rom great rom for the moment looking for a good touchwiz rom.

[Q] SD card unexpectedly removed / Damaged SD card

Hello, I am on an HTC One V running PACman ROM 15.3, with the kernel JmzPrimoC+.
I started having this problem a couple weeks ago. It would randomly unmount my SD card saying 'SD card unexpectedly removed'.
This started to happen more and more often until it would say that as soon as I put the SD card in.
I did a factory reset, which helped for about 5 minutes before it started happening again. Now, more recently, it started saying 'Damaged SD card. SD card is damaged. Try reformatting it.'
I put it in my computer (which doesn't show anything wrong with it), and did a full format. It didn't help at all.
This problem is happening with both my regularly used SD card (SanDisk Ultra® microSDHC™ UHS-I 32 GB (the red and grey one)), and my ordinary SD card (8 GB class 4 Kingston).
I don't think this can be a hardware problem because when I boot to recovery, TWRP recognizes it perfectly.
But I don't either see how its a software problem, because a factory reset should have helped...
Please help me, any help will be greatly appreciated.

Maybe its a bug in the rom?

Hhmmm...
Good idea. What other ROMs work with JmzPrimoC+ kernel? AOKP?
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app

OK, update, now TWRP won't read the card! Either card!
Now I'm getting really nervous...
Does this mean it must be hardware?
Is there ANYTHING I can do now?
Please help!

Wow, I screwed up really bad.
I was gonna use TWRP to flash a new rom, so I did a factory reset, and then started flashing the rom.
But in middle of flashing the rom it was interrupted. So I rebooted, rereset, and then I realized... it's not reading my card.
I can boot to bootloader and recovery, but that's it. No OS. I'm screwed.
Is there ANYTHING I can do?
Is it possible to flash a rom over USB? Or SOMEHOW get my card working again?

Just enter recovery and use adb sideload to flash a ROM.

But I need an SD card in order to use ADB sideload!
It fails every time because
Code:
E:Unable to mount /sdcard
Is there ANY way to do this without an SD card?

OK, I was able to do it following this guide.
I flashed the latest version of PACman. Still rejecting my SD card though.
I guess it's a hardware issue. Too bad my warranty is void from bootloader unlock :\

Try to partition SD Card in recovery
I am facing same issue and I came across this thread while looking for solution. Here is what I tried. That resolved issue for five minutes and then damn! same issue again but someone can find possible fix using the info here.
HTC One V rooted, currently running MIUI 3.1.2 with JB 4.1.2
Sandisk 8 GB SD Card.
Firmware CWM Recovery
I was facing same issue even before I rooted my phone while Original HTC ICS 4.0 Firmware was installed. MY observation is the problem starts few months after you start using SD Card. (Insert a new SD card in your phone, it will work fine for days / months and then will start giving same error.
While I tried thousand time to remove SD card, clean slot, clean card and reinsert, it did not work. May be worked just once for few seconds. When I tried to connect phone to PC and browse SD card contents, the card was not detected.
Booted to recovery, tried to format card, not detected. Tried to mount SD card, not detected. Then tried to partition SD card in Advanced options in recovery. The available options are 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1024MB, 2048MB and 4096MB. Since my SD card is 8 GB, chose the largest option. Now got an option to choose SWAP partition size. Chose 256 MB. Next chose option fix permissions, you have to wait until you see message permissions fixed message on screen.
Now rebooted phone, and voila! It worked!! SD card with 3.94GB memory is detected. But what happened to my rest of 4 GB?
Tried many apps to manage SD card from Play store. Using an app called APart, was able to delete partitions on SD card and create new ones. It worked for few minutes and then again I got SD card unexpectedly removed message.
Does this info makes any sense? I am not a developer and do not know much into phones but someone who know might be able to help. Buying a new SD card is not an option here because its going to work temporarily.

Have you tried formatting the SD card with your computer?
