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

Ok, I have a Samsung Fascinate.
Rooted, CWM, ROM Manager, Root Explorer, Titanium Backup, SetCPU, ASTRO, JT 1000 voodoo kernel with animation.
Ok the problem is and I am almost certain that what caused it is flashing JT's 1000 kernel over top the original 0.2 JT voodoo kernel. However I had read in the forums that people have done this with no problem and I believe in the install thread it says you CAN do it with indeed no problems. However soon after doing the flash everything was working great and I took a couple pictures at dinner which is how I know it was working. Later last night I went to take another picture while out and it wouldn't let me because the SD card wasn't being detected.
I have a sd card reader but not with me and won't until I get home later tonight but I figured maybe until then I can get some help to how to fix it for when I do get home.
I have took a 8gb mini sd from my girlfriends HTC Eris and put it in just to see if it would read which it does perfectly fine. However you plug my 16gb back into the phone and it doesn't even recognize plugging it into the phone.
Any ideas?
all the views and no replies?
any ideas would help guys!
Sounds like your sd card is corrupted. Did you try the card in another phone? Try to reformat the card.

the back up that I made and all, wouldn't that be on the sd card though?
I would think trying to save the card would be a better choice at first eh?
anyone else?

If the card works in another device, then I would wonder if the problem could be voodoo specific, such as the 0 internal memory issue. As far as I know, the only fix for that is the complete voodoo removal process, and a wipe in both stock recovery and cwm.

I tried to put the card into my sd card reader on the computer and it wont read it...assuming its a bad card. When its in the phone the sd card reader slot heats up too a massive HOT temp really quick within second and doesn't do anything. I guess I am gonna unroot using another sd card and take the phone to verizon and be like wtf....
I un-rooted and am gonna take the phone to the verizon store.
I plugged a 1GB from my old phone into the sd card slot and re-flashed CWM to see if I just removed the kernel's if maybe that would fix the sd card but I am almost positive its the sd card that is fried somehow...But it put the phone back to stock except it was rooted...not sure how that happened but i guess everything was on the sd card that I had done???
So confused but basically I am just gonna goto the store get a new card when they realize mine is bad and then re-do everything...Just never flashing a kernel on top of another one again whether people say its safe or not!

I can assure you that had nothing to do with your card. Sometimes you get a bad lot. I order about one a month for various things, and have had to RMA here and there. I swapped the one my phone adopted with for an 8gb class 10 anyway, because the stock are class 2.

Lol. I mean to say the kernel flashing cannot cause the sd card to fail. The card was probably bad to begin with. A bogus card will simply fail, sometimes after functioning fine for awhile.

oh ok, makes sense now...however a bad sd card pretty much screws me over because that is what held everything on it including the kernel and such along with all my apps?

No. the install file for the kernel, but that installs it on the phone. Apps are stored on the internal memory, not the sd card. Pretty much, it just holds your music, pictures, application data in some instances (not the app itself), and any files you need to flash.

So when I get my new sd card tomorrow and load launcher pro back onto the phone, my apps should still be on the phone??
what if I can't even download launcher pro due to this problem of it not letting me download an app because it says I don't have enough internal memory available...
Whoa.
Now that problem is the internal memory issue, not the external sd card. That is voodoo related, and the post about completely removing voodoo addresses it. I ran into that once, and it took about soften minutes to fix following those instructions.

awesome, thanks!
I have an DHD and yesterday it reset it self. Everything was completely gone. Now after restoring my apps, my installed apps don't show on the market as installed, and my phone has restarted itself a couple of times.
Any ideas for a fix?

Oh, the only thing that I have modified is changed the sd card. Copy my old one to the new one. Could this create the problem?
When it reset itself it gave me a message saying that I changed my SIM card, which I haven't.

Memory SD card is a very important part of the operating system android, it is closely related to the system. If the card is not good, it will affect the data access system (some located on the memory card)>>> Thus leading to the device reboot ( to the system can find and update data on the SD Card). I also have this problem with Samsung Card, I changed my card to Sandick and the problem completely terminated >>> Now very good and happy
My GT540 won't recognise my SD card after during copying a file to the SD via PC the PC crashed, and now it won't recognise it! I can't mount USB either! It is either corrupted or it was also dropped during the PC crash, could the reader be broken? Any ideas to fix it?

I've bought a new one and formatted it, says blank when it has pic on it. About to try sdcard.org's SD formatter
Sent from my GT540 using XDA App
That didn't work and after a reflash (twice, first one crashed phone completely) it still says blank. It turns out that my sd reader on the phone (in the back is broken, as it has to be in a certain place to read it. I shall try and flash back to 2.1 and take it back to CPW

Not necessarily...
I had same problems (actually not in 2.3.3, and 2.3.4, then in older versions), and I was really crazy...i formatted my SD a million times, on a million different ways! The biggest stupidity is that I don't know what combination actually worked...
But I've noticed some things: never format, or copy larger amount of data from computer over the phones card reader! Put the card in PC-s card reader and use MiniTool Partition wizard, or something similar (I use Acronis Disk Director, and for me it's incomparably better then anything else), and then copy same data for your phone on that card (just that is not blank).
Another thing that might helped me (I'm not sure if it was coincidence, or it really helped): After format, I went first to recovery>mounts and storage>mount /sdcard(and mount /sd-ext if you have it). Then you can try mount USB storage in recovery and try to trasfer some data (to find out if it's really problem in phones card reader). If you transfer data successfully, reboot system and find out if you are pressing the thanks button, or throwing the phone directly into the wall!
(And have you tried to use another PC/card reader)
It's not scientifically nor empirically proved...but I don't know, you can try! I hope you'll succeed!
Thanks for your help but it turned out that the reader had a slightly bent joint. Bend it back and it works now!

Thanks everyone!
Thank you everyone for your help! The method above didn't work for long, so I found that it was a combination of position of reader on chip (back of phone, just move the whole reader, BE CAREFUL), the pins (as above) and the SD itself. I found that it was sometimes telling the TRUTH (WHAT???) when it was saying "SD Card damaged", what you do is copy the files to a PC using a sd reader and then format it, then put it back in again. Worked for me, although I had to format before copying files, so it was good that I had backed up my sd to pc just 1/2 a day before it all went wrong.
when i connect my phone to pc. then turn on usb mount allow pc to read SD card. all good.
but after completed copying data to/from. dissconect GS2 from pc. then SD card crashed. i need to format it again.
it happen to my twice.
did you have this issues?

sometimes i restarted my phone but the it could not read my SD. i had to reinstall the SD and then restarted again.

I get this problem too... I find that it also has a read error when I shake the device aggresively... requiring me to remove the SD and reinsert it... it probably wouldn't be too bad if the SD & Sim card had swapped places, at least then you wouldn't need to power down your device to remove & reinsert the SD card...
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?
