Guest Dafthibby Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 When I change the default storage to SD card on 926 and 934 after a while and always on a reboot it returns to Internal storage. ANy app on the card then gives app not installed message when trying to open. Its a nusaince but any help to resolve would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest samjam Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Try to reboot as soon as you have changed storage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cyda Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) This problem has bugged me in all ICS versions and I've tried many things to fix it but none seem to work. I am now using Infusion rom which when installed was defaulted to Internal storage but after changing it to sdcard it has stayed on sdcard even after many reboots.

Guest Wanyal Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 I'm having this issue too. I have tried using Infusion to solve the problem, but so far it hasn't worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aurimas L. Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Same s***... I hate when it changes to internal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tillaz Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 i found that this problem is caused by the SDcard... i was setting up two G300's and noticed one reset back to internal storage after a reboot, where as the other never... i backed up the SDcard then formatted it in windows as fat32, that fixed the problem for me :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wanyal Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 That can't be it. I've formatted my SD several times since having a B9xx build and have always had this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BillBong Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) How do you change the default storage? I'm having problems getting ES Explorer to find the EXT SD card - it only sees the internal. Just seen it's under Storage/Default Edited September 12, 2012 by BillBong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tillaz Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 That can't be it. I've formatted my SD several times since having a B9xx build and have always had this issue. it fixed the problem for me, not to mention this dose not happen for everyone... like in my case, i had one that did not have the problem, and one one that did have the problem.. both different size and brand of SDcard... but both using the same rom... if you have more than one SDcard or have a friend / family with an SDcard you could try testing them and see if is makes a difference, i found that changing this can have it set the default storage to SDcard at boot (build.prop) #/*Support ICS double sdcard. The value may be external_sd or internal_sd*/ persist.sys.main_storage=external_sd [/CODE] if it still defaults to internal storage with this set it probably means that the SDcard is no been recognised at boot, making it think its not there, and defaulting back to internal starage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Potatoes Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 It's true, it doesn't happen for everyone, I've never seen this happen, whenever I've changed to external it's always stayed that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cchalk Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) DO NOT TRY THIS, IT CAN BOOTLOOP YOUR PHONE!! I had to restore from backup a few times trying to work this out. I found that if I change the files in /system/etc external_sd.fstab to internal_sd.fstab and internal_sd.fstab to external_sd.fstab. Then reboot my 32 GB SD card is mounted to /mnt/sdcard and the internal 2GB card is mounted to /mnt/sdcard2. Now its working like I want but it I don't understand why? Edit: I did this on the latest Infusion ROM. Edited September 13, 2012 by cchalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest snsn Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 it looks like this only happend in ICS 4.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Colin Whiteside Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I think the problem is that it takes Android marginally longer to mount a larger SD card, so it decides one isn't mounted and defaults to internal, until it does mount, when it gets set as SD2. It's infuriating and messes up my whole phone experience. Messing about with the fstabs will fix it, but it's a bit of a faff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest atin Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 hello all. I have flashed a few roms but don't really know what I am doing so forgive me..
