Storage Card / Storage Card 2 Problem

Hello there
Ever since I changed the storage of my emails to the storage card, I have the problem that the device creates a folder called "Storage Card" when I perform a soft reset. The actual storage card is then mounted as "Storage Card 2". This has the effect that not only my email bodies are not saved to the storage card, but also that software installed on the card can't be run. I have to start Resco Explorer, remove the storage card, delete the "Storage Card" folder and insert the storage card.
It seems that the storage card driver isn't loaded until later, when the system already created \Storage Card\Messaging\... folder structure.
Is there any way to have the sd card driver load earlier, or any other solution? thx.

No solution?

I have had the same problem. I have only seem the problem from time to time, havent figured out what triggered it..

Try not to set the PIE temp. file to storage card and email attachment to storage card. Because during reboot the system can't see the SD yet, so it will create a storage card from existing rom, and this will cause your subsequently detected SD to be mounted as storage card2.

Yes, I realize that this is the problem. I'm therefore looking for a solution to either prevent Outlook/ActiveSync from creating those folders, or else tell the system to mount the storage card a bit earlier...

also
setting all the temp/cache dirs for built-in MS Win apps (like Word and PIE) on a storage card is a bad idea, from my experience, as the Universal unmounts the SD cards on power down. this causes many of the built-in Win apps to crash when powered back on, with PIE bringing down your entire phone if it can't find the cache dirs. I don't know about you, but I like my Universal to behave more like a stable phone, and not a Win PC. Installing code on the card also seems to be a bad idea, as this problem also causes apps to crash. setting cache and other volatile information to the storage card for 3rd party apps seems to be ok so far. Maybe because they're not privelaged to being integrated with the OS like built-in Win apps.

email attachments on storage card

I did a hard reset the other day to clean up the registry. I was resetting up my email accounts, I use the built in messaging app, and when I set it to store attachments on storage card, it tells me storage card is locked and that I need to unlock it. However it worked prior to reset. I also tested by downloading a cab file to storage card and it worked fine. I have HTweakC installed and have mounted extrom, but not unlocked it. It shows as a storage cars in file explorer.
Is it possible that messaging sees extrom as the storage card? If so, how would 3 rediect it?

mods
please delete. The solution came to me as I was posting. This is a htweak issue. it mounts extrom as a storage card. apparently os messaging ap sees this before externel card. I will talk to the htweakc guy. thanks

Cashing cab files to storage card

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to cash cab files to you storage card instead of you local storage.
Because every so often I’ll install a large cab file from my storage card to my storage card and I’ll be presented with a messages that say I need to clear up some storage on my phone first.
Is there a way around this?
Thank You

One more ?
What do you mean by "cash"?
Is it the same as "copy"?

Ok. Let’s try this. Apologies if I was confusing.
I have a CAB file located on my storage card. When I execute the cab to install the application, I’m presented with a messages saying I have insufficient storage available. Yet, my destination patch for that application is my storage card. (I’ve selected the destination path when I was prompted when executing the CAB file).
The only reason I can think of it that when you try to install an application from a cab file that’s already on your storage card the PDA try’s to load it first to the onboard memory before writing it away to the storage card. Is this true? If so, how do I change the location of where the temporary file should be cashed?
The same thing happens when someone Bluetooth’s me a large file, and though I select the location for the receiving file to my storage card, it stil pops up with a dialog saying I have insufficient memory available.
Has anyone encountered a similar problem?

OK, it sounds to me like your device is not reading your storage card properly. Remove, then re-insert the storage card. Hope this was the problem.

Hmmm. I’ve try that. No luck. It happenes only when I’m installing applications that’s larger than the remaining onboard storage. This made me think of my post above.
Has anyone lese encountered this? I mean, can you guys install applications larger than the available onboard storage? Even though the location is your storage card?

Yes as a matter of fact it has happened to me. For some reason when you install an app to the storage card, memory comes out of the main, leaving you with maybe 0.5MB which is not enough to complete the download. If I remember correctly, I've installed some apps to the SD card, memory is used from main, but stopped at a certain level, then converted to using SD memory, therefore being able to have enough memory to do the download, and the memory that was taken from main before conversion, was put back in the main memory. This is just a guess, maybe the app you're installing won't convert for you. Certain types will use main memory only regardless of being instructed to install on the SD card.

FYI
If you tap on the start menu/settings/system tab/memory, you can actually see what and how much memory is being used during a large file download.

Issue With K4 Note coz of SD Card Configured as Internal Storage

@Strephon Alkhalikoi @Chainfire
Hello Friends..
i own a Lenovo K4 Note 16 Gb.. due to short storage i Formatted my 64 Gb Stornium Card as Intrenal Storage few days ago. Fast Forward till today, My phone suddenly crashed today. it Restarts.. As it starts back, a notification displays saying "SD CARD MISSING - Reinsert this device" .. i removed the SD Card & reinsert it, but It taking quite long time to restart & not showing any Storage Capacity of SD Card.. In Storage&USB section(in Phone) it says "Checking"..
My Concerned issues are 2 here..
1. Full Recovery of Data from Encrypted SD Card(Adopted SD Card)..
2. Backup of WhatsApp, Contact, SMS, Backup, as while backing up Via (already installed) backup taking apps, it says "No Internal Storage Found" as it is considering SD Card the main Storage.
NOTE:= i m Recieving WhatsApp messages (Cant Download Media) , Can Create & Delate Contacts, but cant take backup.. So i thought that there shld be a way to get my precious BackUps & Data..
Please Guide. Awaiting for your kind Response..
Thanks Rajat

@glassyrajat: I saw this rather late, so I apologize. I don't really get notifications of people mentioning me by name.
You used the adoptive storage feature of Android to combine your internal storage and MicroSD card into one, somewhat like using a striped RAID array in a PC. When you do that, you cannot remove the MicroSD card or else you get errors. The message you are seeing regarding "checking" is because Android has to verify that the MicroSD card you inserted is the one that you made part of the storage. If the card isn't the same or is corrupted, Android will tell you to replace the card.
The best solution I have for you is to be patient. Android has to complete that check, but once it does and assuming no damage to the MicroSD card you should be able to see all your files. If for some reason you cannot, your only option is to format the MicroSD and lose everything on it. This drawback to adoptable storage is why I don't use it or recommend it.
