usbStorage not writable - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I was trying to download an application from the market and it said that the app couldn't install on USB storage or sd card. I checked with ES file explorer and found the folder usbStorage is read only. How can I make it writable?

Are you rooted? I know in root explorer you can change to r/w easily, it's right on top of every screen within the app

Your sd will be mounted under Emmc and that is a problem with aosp right now ....maybe remove your Sd and try to install to internal but several games won't work on aosp .....like NBA jam won't install on aosp or tw for me ....but will on GB
On tw it's sdcard/external_SD

What is Emmc and tw. I'm on venum ice not aosp if that matters. I also have the external_sd which is where everything on my sd card is. I think the usbStorage is a leftover from another rom

Unmount or remove your external sd card and try to install the app again. Might need to clear the stores data also.

Thank you epix4g and bigtoysrock. Taking out the sd card worked

I've tried apps to move them batch but none are very successful. The only way I've found is to go to Settings - Applications - and click on the app you want to move and move.
No. What i sayin is they r goin on the usb storage and not the sdcard.. is that how is supposed to be??

Correct they mostly install on the internal sdcard and not on the external.

I'm having the same issue. I guest that's why I'm scared to put my new SD card in my phone. The SD card that I had before I was getting an error message saying that SD card is now damaged.

Using Directory Bind

So MIUIv4.1.2 was just released for our phones.
I have heard that the external mount is wonky, but somehow, people can see their sd card in file explorer. However, there are still many who cannot. The temporary solution is using Directory Bind and bind the target directory to a directory on the internal sd. On my phone, that temporary is not working at all. Anyone experiencing the same issue or have come up with another workaround?
This is only a pet peeve because I enjoy listening to music on my phone. It is not a huge deal.
Thanks!
did you update? this has already been fixed no need for directory bind... only issue now is usb mount the computer will only see internal. The music player should see both internal and external now.

weird... it isn't showing my attachments.. but yes! i am updated and I even wiped the old version, cache, data and all just to make sure it was a clean install.
When I said nevermind... I meant the thumbnail attachments, not my music and pictures. Doh... sorry about the confusion

Well that's the other thing... in file explorer I can click the pulldown and see "two" SD card directories; one that is my internal and one the is my external. Yet, for some reason the music app and gallery will not scan it.

You put .nomedia files anywhere to get rid of the media scanner bug? Because that sounds like the issue.

I am trying to move apps which can be moved to the SD card but I keep on getting message unable to move the app .

It may be an issue with the rom itself. An early version of the rom I'm using did that, but was fixed in an update and using Gemini, I can pretty much move anything to the SD card
