1. did you use it to nooter/install CWM? Some of the SD card CWM installers reformat the sd card to 1gb

Use easus partition to format the entire SD card and fix this...

2. did you get it off ebay? some people have reported getting fake cards there (where the actual capacity of the card is less than reported) though typically they can get it to fake the higher capacity until you write to it above its actual capacity.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
I formatted it to 2GB in my computer. I can put the card directly into my computer and write 2GB on it. The problem with the card only occurs when it is in the NC.

??
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gallahad2000:
and with file explorer can you see the 2gb of files on the sd when it's in the NC?

what happens when you connect to the NC as a flash drive? can you see the 2gb of files then? Do you also see your media partition?

The nook color internal memory has two partitions. A system partition and a media partition that you can connect to over usb. Some versions of Nook color had the media partition formatted to be 1gb.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
1.00 Gb according to the NC.

As I said, when I connect the NC to the computer over USB it also appears as 1 gb. When I remove the card and put it directly into the computer it is 2 gb.

There is no media directory.

It appears the NC doesn't correctly recognize the card.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gallahad2000:
If you remove the SD card does the 1.0gb or 1.88gb partition disappear?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
Some things don't look right in there, in your posted image.

You got Internal storage of 5.09GB (it is the first weird one), then you got Additional storage (/mnt/emmc) of 1.86GB (it is another weird one).

Normally, we have either

1. old scheme: 1GB /data, 5GB /media

2. new scheme: 5GB /data, 1GB /media

3. custom scheme: 1.96GB /data, 4+GB /media.

Yours doesn't look right.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
Well I just did the normal install of cm 7.10 stable and no partitioning. However my problem is the SD. I am not particularly worried about the internal flash partitioning.

Any ideas why I can't use more than 1gb of SD? I have a 32gb SD card arriving today. I really would like to get to the bottom of this.

Just a stab in the dark but I have found most of my issues with uSD (and quality brands such as SanDisc) cards have gone back to how the card was formatted. I now never format in the device, nor do I use Windows to format. I've mentioned this before but it bears mentioning again, this free utility has never failed giving me a good intact format on cards of sizes 1G to 32G. Try it out here.

I think this is default for the "new" partition style (which I will soon change).

However this is not affecting my SD card.

I should get my 32GB SD in the mail today or tomorrow. I suppose I will know soon enough whether I can use more than 1G on THAT card.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
While trying to poke around on this NC and figure out exactly how the partitions are working, I discovered another thing which may be normal but sure seems odd to me.

The /emmc and /sdcard contents (directory names) are nearly identical.

ls /emmc
Android Music clockworkmod
B&N Downloads My Files com.maildroid
Books Nook data
DCIM OverDrive dropbox
Digital Editions ReceivedFiles eBooks

#

Creating a file on one does not create it on the other. But some of the directories have identical files. For example the Titaniumbackup files in the /data dir on both /emmc and /sdcard are identical. I didn't check any others.

This seems quite odd. Comments?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
OK, I think maybe I am getting to the bottom of this!

on my NC, when I take the SD card completely OUT, I can still view files mounted on /sdcard

So I am not convinced that my /sdcard mountpoint is actually reflecting the SD card directly.

When I unmount the SD card in the "Storage" settings, and I get the "Safe to remove..." notification, I presume the actual SD card is not mounted.

I removed the SD card from the NC and reformatted it using Panasonic SDFormatter. It's 1.86GB and has no files on it.

Without the SD card in my NC, it operates normally and still thinks it's writing to the /mnt/sdcard for things like downloading files.

My suspicion is that the partition normally mounted to /media is mounted to /mnt/sdcard

/dev/block/vold/179:8 1050156 1029924 20232 98% /mnt/secure/asec

THERE IS NO SD CARD IN THE NC.

Looks like the NC still THINKS the sd card is mounted.

Notice there also is no mount point for /media

The partition I'd expect to be mounted at /media (/dev/block/mmcblk0p8) is not mounted.

Please, someone explain this to me! Seriously, what's the Nook Color's partition scheme?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyDen:

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
That doesn't seem to be the case, although it would make sense.

Looks like my sdcard is mounted at /mnt/emmc.

Rebooting into CWM after reformatting my SD card and putting it back in blank, putting a couple of files on it, it is found in CWM as /sdcard.

Once I boot, I find that content in /mnt/emmc.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CountKrzysztof:
I've had the same issue as the OP since installing CM7 a few weeks ago. It really had me baffled, but I tried the fix linked above just now and it did the trick :-) thank you mr72!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
OK, so to reiterate:

If you have CM7 installed, and in Settings -> Cyanogenmod Settings -> Application Settings, you check "Use internal storage", then CM7 will SWAP the SD card and the internal 1G (default) "Additional storage:/mnt/emmc" partition. The result is that your SD card will be mounted at /mnt/emmc and your internal memory 1G partition will be mounted at /mnt/sdcard.

Also, when you plug the NC into the computer if you have these swapped, then the 1G "internal memory" will be mounted on your computer, rather than the sdcard.

In actuality, this is a good thing, and there is a hack out there to swap these, therefore making use of the normally unused partition that by default in CM7 would be mounted at /mnt/emmc.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
I'm lost following your posts but I know

/mnt/emmc is the additional internal storage and /mnt/sdard is the external uSD card.

That's the case when running CM7 off eMMC.

It's set by default, otherwise, maybe I have to set something to twist around.

Also, when having uSD plugged in, connecting to PC (Windows), both mounted as you would see the 1G internal AND the CM7SDCARD

[Motorola Droid RAZR] maxiordoqui:
Hi Everyone! How is it going? Well i finally decided for the Motorola Razr instead of Samsung Galaxy S2, i don't care too much about Custom ROMs, Customs Kernels and whatever .. I choosed the Razr because of it's hardware quality desing is better, when i held SGS2 in my hand it felt too light and made with cheap and fragile plastic wich makes me wonder how long would it be alive without crack it or break it.. I read that Razr is more resistant and rugged instead of sgs2.. so i ordered mine, i'm getting it next week. A little detail that worries me a bit is the famous Carrier IQ Software, does it has carrier iq? I'm getting the international GSM Version XT910, not the CDMA version. It worries me because i'd like to use my visa and mastercard credit cards for shopping directly from the phone. Thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] phwned:
Nope. No carrier IQ here. Moto Razr with Verizon.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Iguana775:
As far as I know it's not and I dont see it listed in my apps. I thought the iPhone had it though.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] maxiordoqui:
Phew, i was getting paranoic thinking that my carrier could have my credit cards numbers.. ¬¬ Is it a Good Phone for you guys? What do you think about it? Is it really what it looks like or it is a bit frustrating and dissapointing.. ? I'm waiting for mine.. Hope it's well made u.u Thanks for your fast replies! :)

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ronin3178:
The Verizon version of the phone DOES NOT have CIQ, VZW is the only carrier that doesn't use it. I ran the lookout checker app on my re-unrooted phone with all apps and its not there.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Astrowe:
i don't think that Motorola cooperates with Carrier IQ.. none of their devices has CIQ software. at least i guess. haven't seen it on Milestone neither on Flipout and neither on Motorola RAZR (EU version).

if you're not sure anyway, you can easily find out by installing Carrier IQ Detector or if you're advanced with android, you can check by using adb logcat.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Iguana775:
Good to know. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Z4nd4r:
Verizon has officially announced that none of their phones have Carrier IQ. So if it's on Verizon, it doesn't have Carrier IQ installed.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Recoil42:
It seems like the wifi range on my Nexus just doesn't hold up. Here's (attached) a shot I just took of my Galaxy Nexus and another of my iPhone4 in the exact same spot at the exact-ish same time.

The router is on the other side of the house, and while the iPhone4 and my Macbook (which i'm typing this on right now in the same spot, connected) pretty consistently stay at one or two bars at the very least, the Galaxy Nexus has a noticeable/distinct lack of ability to keep a consistent signal, and struggles to do so.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
Every Samsung phone I've ever owned has this issue.

My work iPhone 4 works on the 3rd floor of my house (router in basement) with full bars whereas the Samsungs (GNEX included) barely connect.

Very frustrating as I like to use wifi to save carrier data. Oh well. At least I have unlimited data, so I stream away via 3g.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
mine doesnt do as well as my motorolas and nokias but it still holds it own. The bars are not as indicative for me because even when showing no bars i have had a reliable connection.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] solipsism:
Actually I find it just cuts out continuously. I turned off "avoid poor connections" but that didn't make a noticable difference. It connects and reconnects all the time.

I have a plan that allows my to connect to BT Openzone hotspots around the UK (something that is very important to me)

I went into my nearest town yesterday and it could not find a single WiFi signal!

I want to like my Razr, but I am finding it difficult and I was thinking that the Gnex would be the logical way to go but it seems that you guys are experiencing similar problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aimetti:
ive tested both phones as well.

the 4s definitely destroys both the wifi / cell reception on the galaxy nexus.

in my house my iphone is usually around -80 to -89 dbm but the galaxy nexus is -95 to -107. Kind of pathetic if you ask me but I like the phone way to much to go back to the iphone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Recoil42:
Definitely still having issues with this, if anyone is curious. At my girlfriend's house tonight, and despite the router being the next room over, the phone still can't keep a solid signal. It is rather pathetic, honestly. For Google/Samsung's sake, I hope this bug can be fixed via software.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] King Shady:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DC Daniel:
Jup it's pretty horrible the signal drops from 20mbps to 6mpbs if I put the nexus on a table just 6 meters away. S2 same prob although it doesn't seem to be as bad as the nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] acathrow:
I'm seeing the same thing on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus.

In the same room iPhone 4 and HTC Thunderbolt gets 3 or 4 bars, the nexus gets 1. Go into the next room, or god-forbid go into the basement and there's no wifi connection on the Galaxy Nexus but 3 or 4 bars still on the other phones.

There is certainly an issue.

I called VZW support and got the usual run around : reboot the phone, "we're sending new settings to your phone" etc. Finally he told me that it's probably a problem with the SIM card and they'd send me a new one. I said "no thanks, I want to talk to someone who knows what they are talking about."

After being transferred through to Samsung support I didn't get much further but the lady there at least knew what she was talking about.

They mentioned an upcoming software update, which I've been reading about, but I'm not sure that this is really the issue, since it's not just that it does't show enough bars, it loses the connection.

Same here, i performed wifi speed tests and download comparisons with the GN and my moto bionic at different places around my house. With a very strong signal they perform pretty similar but the further i go away from the router, the better the bionic performs compared to the nexus.

Bionic also performs much better with 3g/4g compared to the GN. Very disappointing, i really want to keep the GN.

Today is my last day to return the nexus, sure wish i knew if there really is performance fix coming.

I own a sgs2 and my only problem, is that i had to install two repeaters in my house cause of the bad wifi reception. The most annoying thing is that i have to disc-reconnect wifi from setings when i have to move from living room to bathroom or bedroom because android is not compatible with wifi roaming. I wont buy g tab or sgs3, cause they are not willing to fixing it. Maybe its the size of apartments in Asia that makes them think their wifi is more than enough. For me is a very very big issue. (My wife with iphone 4 didnt need the repeaters and the wifi roaming works for her)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yiannisthegreek:
I have a wifi issue myself but it does not seem to have to do with bars. When I am connected to my wifi at home it will show 3 or 4 full bars on the wifi icon but it will struggle with the actual fuction. You can see this by watching the "upload/download" arrows in the icon.

Sometimes I will have full wifi bars and be in the market and just loose connection and it will say "no connection, retry" and I will have to do this like 3 times before it catches again.
