[Q] "Unable to move" Apps to SD error message - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Edit: My sd card is working again! I would advise anyone not to use the App Mybackup or Mybackup Pro because this is what caused my problems!
I recently rooted my Evo with
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838448
Anyway i backed up my apps and i started to attempt to restore them. While doing this all of a sudden my evo started saying that it had critical memory left and i had to power it down. So i restarted my Evo and noticed that all the apps installed on my phone but not SD card. So i proceded to remove them all because whenever i tried to move the apps to the SD with Apps2Sd or the phone application function itself i kept on getting "Unable to move application" or something along those lines.
Anyway im wonder is there anyway that i can fix this problem to enable me to store apps on my sd? I can connect the sd card to the computer and manage the files.
Also i have tried to format the sd card but i still have the same problem.
I am about to try a nandroid restore and see if that will help anything.
I also cannot install apps of the market because they fail when the try to install to my Sd. So any installation to my phone i need to unmount the sd card.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

SD card suddenly unreadable/unwritable...??

Does anyone have the problem where the phone is able to read and write to the SD card, but then all of the sudden, it's not able to?
I have an intermittent problem that happens at least once a day where the phone suddenly is unable to read the card. When I start up the camera app, it says that it has insufficient permissions to write to the card. When this happens, I am not able to play music from the card or view pictures/videos from the card.
Once I reset the phone, it is able to read and write to the card again... I have tried the 'SD card mounting' fix in the development forum, but it did not solve the issue.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
I've got a rooted stock froyo 2.2 odexed. i've tried the stock kernel, netarchy's kernel, and kingklick's kernel with all the same problem...
One thing I did do is backed up my apps with my backup pro, installed froyo, and restored some of the apps... now when i go into appbrain, it shows updates downloading, but they never progress... handcent, shazam....
Thanks in advance...

lost all links to sdcard?

Hi
I have lost all links to my sdcard, the phone see`s the card and all files and programs are on the sd card, but the links to them are broken.
the last thing I did was remove my sdcard to install updates with navigon fresh, when i re-installed the sdcard all, my links are dead, and all programs moved to sd are not showing up, but they are still installed on the sd,
any ideas on how to revive them?

Hello,
It happens the same with me.
REASON
You mount SD Card on PC to make the Navigon Updates and doing this you unmount the SD Card on Mobile Phone, and the system loose files.
First restart the Mobile Phone and check...if it's not OK...
You need to mount de SD Card again on Mobile Phone and if it necessary reinstall Apps.
I have tried re mounting the card and restarting the phone many times but, its still not seeing the apps. Is this something that navigonfresh does to the card?
everythings there, just the phone is now not seeing any apps installed to sd card.
all the apps are greyed out in app manager too
Oh how I miss windows mobile.

[Q] installation unsuccessful due to usb storage or sd card

It seems that some apps that I try to install cannot be installed , and an error message stating that it cannot be installed on usb storage or SD card appears. These apps include farm tower, angry birds etc. I only got those errors recently.
Rcmixhd Rom.
I am having the same issue, I cannot move or install any of the apps to my SD card. Am using HTC desire with 2.2 Froyo.
Even unmounting and mounting the SD card didn't help. Now formatting my 16GB card, hoping it will solve the problem.
I just had this problem, and eventually found the solution in the Google technical help forum for Android Market (I can't post links here yet). The thread is titled "Installation Unsuccessful - Unknown reason -18".
The fix is to delete a rogue temporary file called smdl2tmp1.asec from the /sdcard/.android_secure directory. It's a hidden file, so if you can't see it using phone apps like Astro, plug the phone into a PC and use windows explorer to open the SD card. It should be visible for deletion then.

I have deleted every thing on my sd card.

Hi. I did something really stupid as you can tell by the Title of this post. I was using WildChild Rom which i like, but my phone internal memory was filling up even though i have a 8 gb sd card installed. I went into rom manager and partitioned my sd card which as you know deletes everything.
Well now i have done a reset and i now have my phone with WildChild booting up as normal.
I then downloaded all the apps that i had wiped off, but when i try to open up an app i get a message that says " The application Facebook(process com.facebook.katana}has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
It says the same for all the apps except the facebook part of the message. I also thing that the sd card is no longer partitioned.
I now that i should not mess about and it won't happen again. Can any one Please help me get my phone working so that i can use it like i should be able to.
Thanks for reading this.
Many thanks.

I had a similar problem when using RM to partition SDcard. I had to use gparted (Linux) Reboot PC with cd, then removed partitions and made one Fat32 partition. copied files back to SDcard and it worked OK after that.

Hope this Helps

[Q] WFS freezing at boot after SD partition crash

Hi everyone, this is my first post but I have been lurking for a little while. Thanks to this forum I was able to unlock and root my phone (WFS European A510e running 2.3.5). I partitioned my 8Gb into 7Gb FAT32 and 1Gb ext2, and used Link2SD to free up some internal memory. All was well until about a month later when I began getting 'insufficient space' errors when trying to link new apps, even though it showed over 800Mb free.
And that is when I made the seemingly harmless move that set into motion the near demise of my phone! I tried to move a linked app to SD card. Immediately most apps force closed and displayed the 'missing app' android icon. Link2SD was gone so I couldn't try to undo it so I rebooted my phone but nothing changed. At start apps force closed again and a 'Damaged SD card' notification popped up. Being the cautious noob that I am, I had made a backup when I rooted the phone. I went into Hboot and through ClockWorkMod flashed the backup. When the phone rebooted it got stuck at the splash screen. When I put the SD card into a reader and plug it into the PC then the SD is visible for about 30 seconds before it crashes. I tried using MiniTool Partition Wizard to reformat the SD card. It says that it is completed successfully but when I remove and reinsert the SD card I see that it has not reformatted. The 7Gb partition seems fine. The 1Gb ext2 is 'unavailable'. When I try to format the SD card through CWM recovery then it says that no SD is found. I have cleared data, dalvik cache, and cache partition many times to no avail. I have also tried copying the backup copy from my PC to another SD card and trying to flash backup from that but I get a 'no files found' error.
I downloaded RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.3_Radio_47.23c.35.3037_7.54.39.28M_release_236989_signed and RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.26.401.3_Radio_47.23e.35.3038H_7.57.39.10M_release_261695_signed in an attempt to flash my stock ROM but when I try to open either RUU wizard I get a '5001' error.
And this is where I am now :crying: I'm so confused. I hope I haven't messed my phone up beyond repair. If anyone can help me figure this out I will be forever grateful!
