[Q] No sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext.

Does anyone else have this problem? This happens when I make a nandroid backup. I just want to make sure that this is not something that will hurt my phone or keep me from being able to restore a rom. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanksyall

I believe a nandroid only backs up your internal sd card. Its nothing to worry about. It wont hurt anything and wont cause any problems restoring a backup.

That means you don't have sd-ext is present on your sd card. EXT is simply a partition of a sd card so that you can dedicate the space to apps. Example, if you have a 2GB SD card and you partition your card to so that the 1GB will be available to apps. Other 1gb you can access it on explorer to store files, etc

Thanks for the info. How do I go about fixing it?

You don't need one....you aren't fixing anything.
EXT used to be used back in the days of the G1 because it had limited space. Now a days, phones have a ton of space and it is not really an issue.

OK. Still confused ...what do I need to do to have my sd-ext recognized.?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

You don't need to do anything. Its OK because the phone already has enough memory. This is for phones that don't have a large amount of memory. For example, the HTC G1 had like ~85 MB of memory for apps. So one had to create a separate partition on the memory card, EXT 3 or EXT 4 with at least ~500 MB to store more apps. With this phone, we get about ~1.90 GB. So there is no need for that. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong.

It's attempting to back up something that no longer needs to be backed up because the information that was previously stored there is now being stored on your internal sd which IS being backed up. You don't need to do anything or worry about it, everything on your phone is being backed up except your external sd card (which no flash should touch and thus shouldn't need to be backed up). We all get the same message, it's nothing to worry about.

Wow lmfao this is comical xD answer the dude 3x n he still disnt get it xD
U want it fixed? Boot to cwm, Reformat sdcard, wen it asks for ext size put 512, swap size 0, issue "fixed" basicly useless tho on this phone, n the ext will probably b slower then the system storage, but u obviously want it to stop showin onn the log so there ye go, done

OK. Thanks for everybodies help.

Thanks for that detailed information

galaxy ace, LG
could you tell me how to make a backup for apps on the sd card, my sister and girlfriend both have **** phones where they constantly run out of space or memory so they sometimes cant even receive sms messages, my girlfriend has a galaxy ace, she can't have to many apps because the memory is crap, my sister has a crappy LG phone which gives her really bad problems, how can i turn their terrible phones into half decent phones in order to release a bit of their sd cards for app management? any bit of help would be amazing, cheers guys

Internal memory full

Hi everyone, I just got mg Galaxy s3 recently snd loved it.. However I can't download my game because the internal memory keep running out space.. I usually download the game and game data is store in my sd card however with this phone everything is saved into my internal memory... Even my copilot gps file!! Could some one help my free up some internal memory.. Thanks

You basically have to start to delete stuff you don't need. Go to system settings and storage and start from there. You can actually move apps to the sd card. There's a hack in the development section posted by zedomax. I haven't tried it but you can check it out. Make sure you carefully read the instructions.

This is the same old old old problem from the module called "MediaServer" , The service mediaserver (media scanner) can go infinite loop while scanning some wrong media files on your SD Card. High CPU causing very short battery life for other phone users. And nonstop sdcard operations can cause bad blocks. And the "wear leveling" will help to distribute the bad blocks randomly anywhere on your card and soon all files will mess up.
the walk around is, check all your media files on pc, or copy them back to your phone slowly, while monitoring if there is a hang.
it seems that android system developers maybe find it hard to duplicate the problem or something. its on the bugs list. No one have a fix so far.

[Q] Cant move apps to sd card

My problem is just as the title says. First time this has happened to me, wondering if anyone else is experiencing this as well.

Oh btw it is a 2gb one and it says sd-c026 taiwan on the back. Could it be faulty? But i can transfer regular files to and from it.

Maybe, I had an issue with CWM not recognizing a particular sdcard.
Also I can't move App to sdcard with lupus jb kernal for some reason.

No doubt it's a real hassle when our internal space is small. There really seem to be too many possible causes, sucks. But i'm on the turbo kernel.

Thanks for all of your responses. The problem has since been solved after I had flashed a new rom. I must say, I was fascinated by the smoothness of gb roms after having chased the latest versions of android for the past idk how long.

Desire. Tried many roms..

Hello.
Im using HTC Desire, i really love the phone, but i have problems with it.
i tried like thousands of roms, gingerbread, jelly bean, ics..
and EVERY rom is so fkn bad at perormance.
even doodle jump have low fps on my Desire.
i have other phone, ZTE Blade, it has 600 mhz processor, same resolution as desire and its playing smooth angry birds, hill climb racing and so on.
even little minigames have low fps.
I clocked my desire, min clock was like 500-700 mhz, max 1100 something.
still bad fps.
600 mhz is 2x faster than my 1ghz?
what the hell?
