I have an Xperia Arc S with original GB firmware. Every time I copy something onto the SD card using some file manager or network share it does not show the files in any apps. I have to reboot the phone. Is there any way to force a refresh without a reboot?
Have you tried un mounting card then re mount it.
It is in settings think it is in storage

Many of my apps wont update from the market. It downloads them and them and begins to install the update and then I get a red triangle with and ! in the middle and it says update unsuccessful? What is going on? I have about 305mb of internal and a couple gigs external. Please help!
bump...
Please help!
First thing to try would be to clear data of the market. Go to the manage applications section and press the clear data and reboot. If that doesnt work then move all the apps you have on your sd card over to the phone. Then use a file explorer to delete the .android_secure folder. Don't worry, if you move all your apps over you wont lose any apps or data with the apps. Then reboot. Once you have rebooted you can move all of them back to the sd card. Once you start downloading again it will create a new android_secure folder Then you will be good to go. That folder gets corrupted during flashing, bad downloads, etc.

First off thank you for your response! I ended up doing the ladder of the two options but now it wont let me move the apps back to my sd card? I have my SD card partioned and for some reason when I try to move the app to my SD card with Titanium back up it looks like it moves it but when I click on the app again it still gives me the option to move to sd card? Can you help me with this?
Have you tried any apps from the market that will allow you to move besides titanium? Maybe a2sd or app admin yet? Try that and let me know.

I had this problem as well. It was with apps that are on my SD card only. The apps that stay on my phone memory never had problems updating. What I did to work around the not updating issue was, unmount my SD card. Then go back into market and download the apps that wouldn't update. Since your sd card is unmounted it will say "Install" instead of update for all the apps that are on the sd card, but they will still be in the "My Apps" section of the market. After you download the latest versions, remount the sd card and move the apps back over with app3sd or something similar. Hope this helps.

When in recovery, go to the mounts and storage menu, then choose to mount sd card, connect your device to your pc, and mass storage mode will kick in

I am facing the similar problem, I am struck in FreeXperia logo on screen. Device seems to recognised.
I am facing similar problem as I have to push .zip to /sdcard/ location. After a long process I was able to see devices when I executed "adb devices". But now I can't push .zip files because of permission problems. I get Permission denied. How to fix it.. ??
Laptop should have SD card slot, insert your micro SD card into laptop SD card slot with the help of SD card adapter then put into SD card then put your micro SD card back to your phone, boot into recovery then install.

Is it possible to switch sd and usb storage? All of my apps that save stuff to "sd" actually save it to the usb storage.

Would recommend making it a suggestion to ROM Developers - need to swap "SD" and "SD-EXT", not sure where in the manifest that is, but the good chefs should be able to hack up a solution pretty quick. Would likely require a re-flash, though...

I would love this as well. This would solve so many issues of things not fitting. Games and GPS programs.etc. I have switched my Camera to save to EXT and as well my Titanium Backups but in general everything wants to go to SDCARD by Default.
So here solution swap sd memories
To do this please backup your phone files first. This is info how to use external sd card as main sd card so all apps gonna be saved to your external memory card!!!
Need to root i927
Download Root explorer from market

Welcome
My Sd card is working fine.. but some times i cant access it using programs like media players or file explorers cuz they keep crashing ....
the only way i've found to solve this is taking out the card , restarting the phone , clearing data in media storage (system app) or even disabling it , then putting the card and resatart
Its not a permanent solution and i tried everything like formating and the card works perfectly on my pc
PS: this problem occurs in every rom and kernel even stock and am using cm 10 lupus kernel right now
: I cant keep the media storage app disabled cuz without it i cant set ringtones and my phone wont ring ..
in cwm i can access the card without problems
Plz i need help ! or atleast the cause of this problem thanks
Maybe some bad sectors in sd card. Try to reformat it, with the phone or cwm

i tried all the simple solutions... looks like it has something to do with the android.process.media or a damaged file i need a permanent solution but thanks for ur help
the first and fastest check I would do is to put another SD. if the apps are still crashing, the problem comes from there. if not, the problem is on SD. in some cases, at some point the SD will start having problems... no matter what you do. so it is possible that your card just reached its EOL (end of life)
Change the way the sd card connects to PC to mass storage mode. Then hold shift and right clic in first folder that opens when you click on icon for removable device for sd card. Click on open command prompt windows here. type in chkdsk /f and then type in Y if it succedes and asks for permission. Hit enter and watch reports. If this doesnt work try other sd card, but probabbly problem is in device and not sd card. If you have any problems pm me...
Hi there,
Two days ago I was using a rom with the external storage script, and everything was working pretty good - just a few problems, such as SwiftKey language packs not recognized after boot and stuff.
Now I flashed a new base rom and decided not to install the script.
All my application backups stored on the external sd card.
Now, when I am trying to start a game, it says to me that I need to download the data files even that it is stored on my external sd card.
Is there any possible way to make that the system would recognize that the data file is stored already on the external storage?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Boris

you can use folder mount or directory bind to make it appear like the data is in your internal storage.
Thanks!
Where can I find an apk for directory bind?
