HTC Incredible :: Cant Access Storage Over USB
Oct 8, 2010
When I connect my phone to to my Windows XP laptop via USB, I no longer get asked what type of connection (i.e. "Charge only," "Disk drive," etc.), even though "Ask me" is checked under the phone's Connect to PC settings. The USB icon doesn't show up on the notification bar either (though the battery icon shows it's charging).
On the laptop side, the 2 drives (SD, phone storage) do show up in Windows Explorer (as previously), but when I choose either, I get "Please insert a disk into drive F:." (or G:).
I've tried setting the phone's default connection type to "Charge only" and to "Disk Drive" but the behavior is the same either way.
This might have started with the Froyo update, but I think I've had it working since then.

For some reason my Incredible won't mount both the internal phone storage and the SD card storage at the same time. What I mean is...when I plug my phone into my PC I only get a single popup asking to mount the phone's SD card storage, but not the internal phone storage.If I remove the SD card (or unmount the SD card using menus on the phone) and then toggle the connection type from Disk Drive, to Charge only, and then back to Disk Drive (to burp the connection), the internal phone storage will mount, but the SD card won't mount because it has been removed.When I connect my wife's incredible, my computer sees both the SD card storage and the internal storage (as expected) and gives me prompts for both. I took the SD card from the problematic phone and put it in the "good" phone and there are no issues at all (IE.. both the internal storage and SD storage mount). This of course means there is no issue with the SD card.

So if I do a Factory Reset on the phone it still has some of the old photos/videos I took, which leads me to believe it doesn't fully clear the device of everything, just the settings that I changed are returned to their factory defaults (duh!).I was curious if I do the Clear Storage option, which means turning off the device and holding one of the volume toggles while holding the power button - would that mean that the entire Android OS would be removed, or does it mean it does a format of the phones entire partition and re-installs Android (similar to a reformat/recovery partition on a computer)? In which case I would need to reactivate the phone doing the simple *228.

Sorry if this is a complete NOOB question, but what is the difference between the internal storage which is 6.6GB and the phone storage, which is about 750MB? How do I access the 6.6GM of storage? What am I missing here?

If I want to read/write external storage, like usb drive, does Android provide this feature to do? Or how do using Google API to read/write SDcard on Mobile? Where to get sample code for this goal?

So the other day I was trying Cyanogenmod 9 on my galaxy pocket, however I didnt realize it wasn't an official release and it was REALLY bugged and I made a huge mistake because i forgot to install CWM. Thing is installed this rom and I belive i pretty much bricked my phone because now I can't get access to any of my networks, wi-fi, bluetooth, or usb mass storage or my sd card are not being recognized either...
What I've tried so far was sending the stock rom through Quick ADB Pusher, but it tells me that even though my phone appears to be root It wont allow it to access, then I tried different ways to root and unroot because apparently SU is not giving me the permissions. So finally tried my last option with ADB and was trying an adb push but I keep getting permision denied if I send it to /root or read only file if I send it to /system also tried Asb shell $su but I keep getting a denied message.

Most of the applications on my phone are stored on the internal storage. I cannot figure out how to access the internal storage to manage these applications. I may need to reset my phone, but I don't want to lose my paid applications.

I am working on a widget and have it pretty much how I like it, but I have one problem. When I package it and install it, it says in the "allow this application to" portion that it wants access to phone calls and storage. I know this will be a no-go if I want anyone to ever use it. I have not set up any permissions. Same thing happens even if I make Hello World.

After rooting my phone and using an app called "GL to SD" I am unable to access internal storage, I even did a factory reset and that didn't fix it. I should reinstall that app and use some restore function however I'm unable to install/download apps unless I have .apk file, so any method to get this apk [URL] ......

Initially all worked OK. But then after some installs from the Market i am not able to access any internal flash storages. Phone was not rooted.
Here are some facts:
- i see the drive letters assigned for both of them on PC but when you click Explore the message is "Please insert a disk into drive M: (or N or whatever)".
- They are shown as mounted on the phone . Dismount and mount again changes nothing
- the phone is recording photos/videos OK on internal memory means flash is working fine.
- SD card is perfectly working too. if you extract it and put into computer you can read/write it. On the cell you can play music from it etc no problems
- I restored everything with Factory Data Reset but things did not change
- Same story from another PC
- Samsung Kies shows the files in PC Windows Media Player which are on Vibrant's SD card but can not read/download them
Is this some driver problem ? Or flash memory is locked by Vibrant OS?
I suspect EasyTether or PDANet third party driver for Samsung phones is responsible.
Tethering works though

A question about the internal storage that's private to each application (especially when storing files with Context.MODE_PRIVATE).
How is that storage actually assigned to the application? Just by package name or also somehow bound to the sign key of the app?
Let's say I have installed application 1 and then write another application 2 with the same name and package name (just differently signed with different keys) and install it (app 2 replacing app 1), would that application 2 get access to the /data/data/[app]/files ?
Or would I not even be able to replace app1 with app2 due to different sign keys in the first place?

I have a pattern lock on my AT&T Galaxy SII, but the screen has recently become damaged and unusable. Is there anyway to access the storage on my phone to retrieve files? Hooking up the USB cable does nothing because I can't put in the pattern lock.

Most apps cannot see this, and I doubt they ever will unless this becomes more commonplace. What do you do with your internal storage? I have my camera set to store there, but I have a slideshow app i use when charging and it only reads the SD card so I move the "keepers" to SD. My mp3's and divx movies are also on SD. So out of 6.6gb internal storage I usually have about 6.5gb free. How do you use yours? And do you feel app developers will ever write apps to access the internal storage?

Capacity: 6.60GB
Available: 3.86GB
I'm just wondering if this is normal. I don't have any music or videos stored internally, only about 30 or so wallpapers. Is the space all from apps? How do I see exactly what is in the internal storage? When I connect to my computer there's nothing in any of the folders except the wallpapers I added.

I heard, over on the Nexus forum, that the internal 8 gig storage has nothing to do with installing apps, it's just more like a memory card you can't take out. You know just some app data and pics/vids and music not the app itself. I thought the 8 gig storage was for apps.

WTF, I'm getting a warning that I'm low on space, phone storage is getting low. However, according to the SD card & Phone Storage info I can pull up on my phone, I'm only using the following:
SD card
Total space: 3.69 GB
Available space: 2.67 GB
Internal Phone Storage
Total Space 6.60 GB
Available space: 6.06 GB
Phone memory
Total space: 748 MB
Available space: 636 MB
So all in all to me it looks like I should have plenty of space.

My 8GB SD storage card is nearly full while my internal phone storage has over 6 GB available. Is it possible to use the internal storage for music, my biggest storage hog. I'm concerned about running out of space on the SD card for the various backups required for exploring new ROMs.

So, one of the selling points of this phone is the large amount of internal storage. any ROMs out there that actually recognize my large amount of internal storage?? I would rather have 512MB like a droid and get a 16GB card with it honestly. If stock froyo wasn't slow as hell I would just use that but alas, I need my speed.

I finally made some albums to use but all my new photos show up as on the phone/as "Camera Shots" I want to move them to the albums on the SD card..........but I would like them to go straight to SD so I can sort into folders from there? How do I get my "camera shots" to the SD?

So my wife asked me today about a warning she got on her info bar. It said "Phone storage low" and when you press it it brings you to "Manage applications" On her Contacts Storage it was taking 89mb. Does this mean she's not linked up to google? Mine is only like 12mb and i have WAY more contacts then she does.Can anyone shed some light on this? it gives the option to Clear Contact Data but my wife would lose her mind (as we all would) if we lost all of our contacts.
