Hello
I have connected my harddisk using OTG
But using inbuilt feature to unmount is not unmounting the hard disk
Is there any App to unmount it. So that I can remove it safely or any other way to do so.

Hi All,
I have a problem which might have been solved. I have installed opendesire on my HTC Desire with an ext4 partition on my SD Card. I have installed many apps on the sd card and they go to the ext4 partition.
Now, when I connect my phone to the PC and enable USB Mass storage from my phone, I see my FAT32 partition on the PC. But the apps that are installed on my phone on the ext4 partition disappear and ONLY appear after I have disconnected my phone from my PC. Is there a solution here?
Thanks
Any help/suggestion is appreciated.
I believe its because when its mounted to the computer only 1 thing will read it so since your connected to your computer your phone won't read the SD card or the apps on the ext partition

When you set your SD card to mass storage you are allowing your pc to connect/write/delete info on it and therefore your phone will not be able to access it at the same time. Hence apps on the SD will not be accessible. Also apps with data on the SD will not work correctly either. However, if you set the connection type to charge only then it should be fine. (you just won't be able to access the SD card from your pc!)

Its like this. My SD Card has a FAT32 partition and an ext4 file system partition. When connected to a PC only the FAT32 partition is available as mass storage and not the ext4 system. My apps are on the ext4 partition.
It's working as designed. If you put your phone into drive mode the phone can no longer see the sd card. Windows doesn't know what an Ext4 partition is so only shows the fat32 partition.
That's just the way it is.
I agree with all the above when connected in disk drive mode the phone will not see the phone sd card regardless of the partitions etc set on it. There is an app that allows dual access but I forget the name and tbh its kind of useless when you understand why its the case.
I have installed the LeeDrOiD ROM with A2SD+ and all my apps are installed to the ext3 partition on my sdcard. But I'm still able to use these apps when connected in "disk drive" mode (those apps using the fat32 partition for storing data do have problems but the others are working normally)
Sorry for such a newbie question but I can't find an answer in any forums. I used to be able to get access to both my external and internal sd card when i plugged into my windows 7 laptop. it would show as a new device SPD something. When i clicked on that icon in windows explorer it would break out two different drives the External and Internal. After flashing starburst rom and plugging in the device, it just shows an (F) Drive which is my standard storage. My phone then asks me for USB mass storage permission and it goes into mass storage mode. Clicking on F will bring me to my external SD card but I can't figure out how to access data on the built in memory chip. Any help would be appreciated!
If you got to Settings>Applications>Development and check allow usb debugging it should detect both cards as removable drives that you can access.
Got a free G2 from a friend and when i plug it into the computer it doesn't give you the option on the phone to connect to computer it does display USB debugging. My computer doesn't recognize there being any kind of storage drive there but does see the phone under devices. The internal storage displays 1.16GB available. Not sure where to go with this and any help would be great.
Internal storage is preferring to the system partition which is not mountable on a computer, well not on windows anyway.
if you have debugging turned on and the computer recognizes that its a good sign.
is there an SD card in it? You should be able to mount an sdcard no problem (formatted to fat32)
Maybe I'm not sure your question but everything sounds normal
Also you may need to install the proper drivers

I know the drivers are good because i have a htc amaze also and they are the same. If i put a sd card in it i can see that on the computer but i cannot mount just the phone on the computer it doesnt even show up in my folders under my computer. I dont even get a notification on the phone that its connected to the usb only the debugging icon
I've never been able to mount my g2s internal partition on my computer, windows doesn't read/write ext partitions anyway. Haven't used my Linux box in a while but I don't remember being able to mount it, at least not as a storage device.
Only SD card mount (fat32 partition) fastboot and adb mounting for me

OK if you go into your Storage settings this is what is list: SD Card- Total space: unavailable, Available: Unavailable
INTERNAL Storage-Available space: 1.21GB
That just doesnt seem normal no ext sd in the slot just the phone itself cannot be mounted on the computer i have a HTC amaze and a Samsung Vibrant they can be seen without a sd card in them
P.S. Sorry just trying to understand this phone lol and get it working
Either SD card is bad or SD slot is bad, you can try reformating card or performing a factory reset and see if that helps. Try other SD cards, if all else fails than you probably need a new sd tray, about 15$ on eBay and takes 15 min to install

So I am using the infamous v4 Rom and I have been happy with it. I used the usb mass storage enabler app for the first time. After transferring my fines, I ejected the sd card and disconnected the phone. I then switched the phone back to mtp mode. This was when all the problems started. Now my apps can't find my sdcard but the es file explorer and gallery can see the sdcard fine. When I unmount the sdcard and remount it, I will get the message sd card damaged try reformatting it. I did a full reformat, not the quick one. Still says damaged when I mount it. Doesn't make sense that the file explorer and my computer sees the card fine but some apps says the card is missing.
What did you format the card too? FAT32?
yes, i formatted it as fat32
