After I upgraded to froyo my streak wifi will not turn on always gives an error, also my streak will not communicate with my sd card. My media files will not show up in my player. In other words I can not play my music. So when I try to root it in recovery mode it doesnt pick up the zip file on the sd card. I also tried another sd card and same thing. Even when I connect my usb plug it doesnt give me the option to charge only or copy media files. Please help I dont know what else to do.

OK, I'm trying to download and install some other country version of navionics to see if it works on the streak before I go buy the lake version I need, but install fails. I suspect I may need to unmount the sd card to get it to install. I unmount, but then the streak wont let me download unless I insert or mount the sd card. I can't even transfer it to my dropbox and download it from there because it also requires me to mount to download.
So basicly I'm wondering how I unmount the sd card and install non-market apps.

No one knows how to unmount and install an app on the streak?

Never tried installing an app with card unmounted .
to unmount card go to settings SD card and unmount.
Have you tried putting the streak in plane mode then trying to install the app
I just tried airplane mode and that didn't work for installing problem on the navionics. I know how to unmount the sd card, the problem is, when unmounted, I can't download off my dropbox to try installing it. And I don't see the apk file I throw on the root. Is there somewhere I can put the apk and have it loaded or install from, somewhere on the root maybe, when the sd is unmounted?
Gez, all I want to do is try a navionics so I know if it works or not before buying the one I need fir fishing.
I contacted navionics asking if the maps work on the streak and they aren't to bright.

Over the past day or so I have been playing around with some of the gingerbread sense roms out. After flashing the last one, my sdcard comes up with the message that its mounted read only due to an unexpected problem. I have tried fixing permissions, even went and removed the gingerbread rom and restored a back up of royal glacier, which had no problem with my sdcard before. Any ideas as to what is going on? I'd hate to have to format my sdcard as there's a LOT of misceleanous backups on it from my phone. Any help in this will be greatly appreciated.
P.S. If it makes any kind of difference I am using the 8gb sdcard that came with the phone.

Have you tried mounting it via settings? Cm7 is having the same issues pretty much, if I go to settings storage and mount sd it fixes it till the next error. Lol it sux azz and I don't think anyone here can build a rom without using cm source. :/

I tried that to no avail. Even tried remounting through adb... As far as mounting through settings goes, it shows the card is mounted read only, and will not unmount or anything, if I press the unmount it leaves that screen and comes up preparing sd card, then the same error message... I don't know, guess I'll just have to pull my sd card contents and format. Will that effect my cwm or anything else I am using which made folders on my sd card?

HELP!!!!!
Okay. So I took the sdcard from my phone, and attempted to pull the files and folders from it. WHAT A SHOCKER! they're all set to read only. I had to take each file and folder seperately, go to properties, and uncheck read only from the attributes. But there's STILL a problem, Once I move them to my windows 7 64 bit pc, the are set to read only again. I take ownership of the folder and it's contents, and as soon as I click apply and close the properties, they're set back to read only. I have already formatted the sd card, and want to put these files back, but if they're read only wouldn't it mess up my phone's sd card again? What am I missing to get my sd card back to working condition? Anyone who can help with this issue would be a LIFE SAVER. I have a TON of info on this phone I don't want to lose. I Pray to the android GODS that my phone's sd card did not ruin all my info.
Try them, mine show read only as well on my 32 bit vista system. And they never change either.

Will do as soon as I return home and will report back with what happens, as for now I found out that what messed my sd card up in the first place was installing ginger sense with NO ext partition. Found a forum here witj a walkthrough to creating said partitions and have done so. As for my back ups and all other files, I will let you know what happens... Thanks for the help!
P.S. Am not having same problems as my saphire did that I mentioned in pm. I have no sdcard in right now, and am fully functioning...

So far the contents of my sdcard appear safe, help is very much appreciated... Now if I may ask, what rom are you running my friend? And also is there a sense gingerbread rom that is 100% functional?

After over a week, I just realized that my sdcard crash costed me over 200 of my pictures and videos... A lot of those were of my son... I just learned the importance of backing up your sdcard the hard way...

the music is on my ext sd card but no matter what rom it's on it won't show up there. I did flash back to a stock rom and it still is there and shows up and works just fine. Is there any way to fix this?
Have you tried unmounting your sd remove it. Then put it back in? This happend to me recently and thats how I fixed it. Also plug your phone up to a pc and see if it can read the files from your sd through the phone.

Try re-scan media from the market. Basically we want to force a rescan of both sd cards

Tried both ideas and they didn't work. I was able to pull up file in file manager and play through there but that's a pain in the ass
Hmm, thats odd. Are you using the stock player? And have you tried downloading different players from the market, or flashing one to test it? What build version are the ROMs you are using also?
I have tried about 8 different roms. My current one is Toxic7.xwjs8
Kernel version 2.6.32.9 OverStock-1.2GHz-2.4.1 #8
I have tried the players that flash on the rom ,I've tried dl win amp. I even thought that it may have been an issues since the music was synced with the kies 2.2 update so i formatted the sd card and put it all back on again and still nothing
try putting it in the int sd...
I know that works but I don't want it using my internal memory plus I have to much music
any other ideas
Idk what else could be. Does your phone actually read the card at all If you go to storage in settings? Have you tried a different sd yet?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
You have got to settings on your media players, click where it says scan folders. Select the. External sd. After that refresh the app. That's it. I have a full 16GB of music and its able to read it.

Its the one from the Amanzon App Store. I have an account and its linked to my phone. I know the trick for most apps like Angry Birds is to unmount the sd card and install. Usually that works but for this game its to large so it needs the sd card. Anyone experience this problem or have any working solutions?

it just went right on for me... no hassles
You have a stock Streak? I am on official build 3.18 with perf. fix and superuser update plus custom recovery mod Dr. version designed for Streak non beta. I wonder if has something to do with my sd card its a 32gb model.

I also downloaded the .apk from another site and put it in my systems app directory in my phone without the sd card and still got the exact same error. It doesnt even take it a second to spit back that it cant install it. Its like its not even trying.

Found Solution!
Found Game .apk online.
Copied it to phone via root explorer to /data/apps
Unmounted sd card and waited for 5 seconds [did not do this before]
Installed Game .apk by clicking on it in Root Explorer in /data/apps
Mounted sd card
BAM! Working!
I have no idea why this worked but it did!

So this morning I was deleteing files off my sd card from my phone. Then tried to mount it through my computer to put some files on. Wouldn't mount on the pc via the phone.
Disconnected it and it no longer was mounted on my phone.
Took out the card and used a card reader and it no longer was able to be read on my pc without the phone.
Anyone have any ideas to get my sd card back and working. Currently I had to resort to using a 2gb card that I could fill within seconds.

Mine did this yesterday after flashing a ROM. Lost everything. I was able to see things using CWM but not the phone itself or the PC. Formatted it with CWM and it wiped everything but still the phone or computer wouldnt read it. I waited a couple hours and loaded it back into my computer and just left it. A couple minutes later Windows popped up a box asking if I wanted to format it. I did a quick format and it read the card size. Previously it errored out saying it could not format it. I dont know what happened and why it all of a sudden worked

what did you do to solve the problem? I've run into a similar issue, here is a link to a thread I created in Q&A

I still won't have access to a pc until tomorrow, hopefully ubuntu will be able to work some magic for me
I formatted after using the options under error checking failed. Everything moved exceptionalling slow while doing this however.
I did it under windws xp. Not much difference with win7 or vista I suppose. Ubuntu even.

Everyone having SD card issues, before you format it or do other crazy stuff, try going into your gallery on the phone first. Works for me everytime my sd goes "invisible"
