Storage dismounted

[Guest Milorad :)]

My storage totally disappeared after hard reset. :D I bought the 8 Gb card and I use it for storage but I have a problem, I can not enter in messaging. Probably because messages are used as memory storage. How do I change the message to use memory card,

please help me. Sorry for my poor english.

This happens a lot to me (i910)

Just go to settings - connections - USB -> Mass Storage: My Storage

Connect to a computer and make sure that the computer sees the drive with all your files and stuff. If it says to format it, just unplug, wait a second, and reconnect.

Once you can see your files on the computer, unplug your phone, and you should be able to see My Storage on your phone again! Then just change USB connection back to ActiveSync, and you'll be good to go.

Thank you for your quick response.

I can not configure settings - connections - USB -> Mass Storage: My Storage, expel me that there is no storage. I have tried everything but failed to regain storage.

Hi,

What Do you see with a file explorer ?

I had a problem like this. The directory's name was changed after a hard reset.

I do not see it in file explorer, as there is no exist. I do update ROM, but not helping. :D

my 16gb my storage also has the same problem as yours. yours also is 16gb or 8gb? someone told me that this happens only on 16gb .. id just like to clarify coz if i send my phone to samsung service center and still have this problem later, that would be really frustrating..

[Guest ecoboard]

It happens to me every other time... my storage (16gb, onboard) suddenly disappears and moments later come back again

is this problem ROM related?

Hi, I have the same problem . "My Storage" dismounted after the phone fall on the ground (my fault). Now I cannot go into sms messaging . Very very very stupid to Samsung - no internal storage=no sms ! Other phones can do messaging without internal flash card. :rolleyes:

That's what I found so far - when I install 3-rd party software (I think SMSSender was the name), I managed to send SMS, still not possible to receive.

I will try to flash with the new ROM from Omnia Lite (no internal storage). The other hope is in Android Rom, but many things are not working yet.

If anyone have ideas, or can fix something in WM to make possible sms without internal storage - 10x.

P.S. I've tried many standart custom roms - that don't help - no sms in all cases.

on my Omnia2,after my storage was gone, i used o2util.exe to convert .mst to .nb0 so i can flash ROM on my omnia.. but i didnt had problems with sms though.. sorry, im kinda confused also.. my only option is to send my phone to service center..

I guess not... it's been happening for the last 10+ roms updates.. i've noticed something odd, though... a process named MassStorageDetector.exe running.

[Guest AirMJ]

My assumption is that the SMS problem is Phone part related, not WM part. Somehow it seeks for that internal memory and don't find it ... and something in messaging broke.

ecoboard, interesting observasion ... did you try to kill MassStorageDetector.exe or to stop it in the services. May be with SKTools it's possible.

I've managed to stop it with SkTools but the 16gb is still visible... nothing wrong happened... from what I've found on the web, I would say that the MassStorageDetector is related to the Usb connection mode (activesync vs my storage)

[Guest AirMJ]

Ok guys, the solution is ready ! The problem with broken/dismounted storage and unavailable sms/mms service solves with the Majino ROM - http://www.modaco.com/content-page/307330/...0/#entry1296146 .

May be there have to be topix with FAQs. I think such a problems/solutions have to be in a separate topic.
