R/O sdcard? - Flipside General

My sdcard has been loading up as read only?
Anyone else...
How do I make it stop?

try to go to Menu/Settings/SD&PhoneStorage. Then drag it to the notification bar and hit where it tells you that the sd card to have unexpected problems, while working to solve quickly press the Unmount SD Card on the previous screen several times, this should allow you to format the card to phone specification

No no... I can use root explorer to fix it... however... it doesn't keep...
I was wondering if anyone else was having the same issue?
And if there was a fix that didn't require formatting

Factory reset for no reason

My phone reset itself for no reason. It was laggy so I restarted. When it rebooted, all the apps I had installed wod force close (samsung default apps worked fine) and all my personal info was gone (phone nos, contacts, settings, etc).
When this happened first two times, i replaced my phone. Now it happened on the replacemwnt SGS.
I am thinking it may be the sd card (I am using an 8gb external sd I have from my previous Moto Mestone). I've been running for about a week with no reset since I took the card out from the phone. I would however like to use the sd card for the additional storage.
Anybody know if the sd card could have been the problem and maybe how to fix it?

Yes, it sounds like this
Did you already try to boot the phone without the external-SD-Card being plugged in? Or just tried booting with another external SD-Card?
If not, copy over your data form ext. SD-Card to your PC and reformat the external SD-Cardwithin the system settings.
Maybe there are some system files from your Milestone left which SGS doesn't like
Installed Darky's rom. Do not seem to have that problem anymore.
Thanks

SD card not working with iCS rom

I have this problem were the sd card will not take anything on it. If I place a new folder and a picture on it, it erases itself on its own. Or I'll put a album on there and maybe 5-8 songs might appear. I am running passion ics with a 32gb sd card. Just want to know if there is a zip that needs to be flashed or if this is a problem. Thanks for reading!

i had a lot of issues with a sd card that i used with my computer or camera before using it on the phone. search for a program called SDFormatter and format your card. you should be ok after that

At first I was a little worried about using this program, but I ran it and it worked for about 2 hours. Out of no where the music that I was moving over kept disappearing and stopped allowing me to copy files from the pc to the sd. I tried formatting the card after that and I was allowed to put the files that were on there before formatting but nothing after that. Is there any other solution to this fiasco that I am faced with!
I have a similar issue. I haven't tried writing anything to my SD card, but it looks like its empty in MIUI and ES file explorers. I can boot into recovery and see that the files are there. Any suggestions?

emmc vs. sdcard confusion - ARGH!

<rant>
I just accidentally formatted my 32GB microSD card and lost a cr4pload of important data because CWM and CyanogenMod have opposing views on which mountpoint to use for internal/external storage. I knew this going in, and I took a chance when formatting so I'm not blaming anyone here but myself. However, GODDAMMIT I wish someone would pick a standard and STICK with it. I see that in CM10 now, we have sdcard0/sdcard1. I wonder if CWM will follow suit...?
</rant>
Get your sd card out of the phone and plug it into your pc.. There's loads of tools to recover your data intact
Just Google some... As for that issue well I have 3 android devices the only 1 with this issue its note.. What I do its to create 2 empty folders called AAAAEXTSD and ZZZZEXTSD so when ever I gotta do stuff from where ever or to where ever I know Wich memory I'm on..
Just a workaround

Thanks dude. I used Recuva and managed to get SOME data back, but half of it was incomplete (probably Recuva's fault).
The problem with your workaround is that you have no way of seeing what is on the sdcard from CWM.
Storage in general seems to be ... strange. Even in CM9 itself unter Settings -> Storage, there is only one format option. It says "Format SD Card", but it appears under the "Internal Storage" header. God knows which memory that actually formats; I'm not about to try it.

i always take out my external sd before i do any formatting in cwm..pain in the arse but its foolproof
Best n safe way to format sd card is to connect to pc as mass storage and format
@op
Search undelete application from market, if you cant get, search 'root call blocker' and find appl developed by same developer.
If this can help to recover data.

Cant move to SDCard after a restart

Ok, so a strange thing has happened. Immediately after a reatart I now can't move apps to my SDCard.. and apps that i had previously move have now disappeared from the app drawer. And are grayed out on the home screen with a little sdcard symbol. The SDcard is working fine in all other respects i can read and write to it just fine..
Has anybody else experienced this or can suggest a reason as to why this may have happened.

I've had this before on a previous sd card, just before it died, what model sd Card and where did you purchase it from?

Its an actual Samsung EVO 64Gb. I bought it from Harvey Norman - where i bought the phone from... not even a week old.

Can you access other files on the card? Try ejecting it (in Settings / Storage), popping out the SIM card holder to make sure the SD card is seated properly, then reinstall it.
Yep, i can read and write to the card fine.. all my files are there. The strange thing is the ability to move to SD card was there prior to restart... now its gone.. but for all other things the card is fine..

Can you see any items in the LOST. DIR folder?
Same thing, I just ejected and re mounted it. it fixed it
How much are you able to move? Is it still a small part of an app?

There is nothing in the LOST.DIR folder.
At the moment i cant move any part of an app to the SD card. The option to do it has disappeared...

If I was you, i would back up the sd Card and then use an sd Card checker to run a test to make sure nothing is wrong with it,

Probably a good idea. Do you have any recommendations on a good SD Card checker..

Put this into Google as you may have to use Google Translate, but the program is in English, great program. It may take a while but let it go all the way to the end.

Camera app not saving on SD Card anymore - Please help!! :(

Hi all,
I'm desperate. I just realised my camera app has suddenly started to act weird.
Basically it can't save images on SD CARD anymore as if the sdcard was write protected but it's not. I can copy/paste files without issues on the card. It feels like the camera app has some issue. It can save videos and pics without problems on internal memory but refuses to save on sdcard. I tried Camera-FV app and it can save on SD Card so I guess it's the actual camera app ....
I tried clearing data of the app, uninstalling the app with titanium backup and reflashing the rom on top of my current installation (without factory reset) and nothing works. I also tried formatting the SD CARD with both PC and Phone and unmounting/remounting...nothing
Another thing I noticed is that I can't copy files from pc to sdcard straight. I have to first pass them to phone internal memory and then using phone explorer app I can move from phone to SDCARD. Very weird behavior. It's like if the device is blocking write access to the card? I also tried another sdcard and same story.
Anyone has any other suggestion?
I have the same issue the camera app can not access the SD card.So was the app "my files".Most wire thing is ES explorer write SD card well as usual.
I'm pretty sure this issue is happening since I update the system(G9350ZHU2APE3).
Damn this sucks! It must be the update that broke the sdcard. I saw several others having the same problem. No confirmed fix yet? Must we factory reset?
