I need some help please
I have installed loads of apps recently on my phone (excess of about 80-100)
everything was going fine and i was loving the way it was
this morning, my phone was running really slow so i shut down and booted it up again, now all my shortcuts are little windows with a gear on the front, so i thought the sd card had not mounted properly, so i unmounted and mounted again, then i released all the apps that had this shortcut are actually installed on my phone not the sd card.
I moved over a couple of videos to my sd card this morning, but i dont think that would have affected the apps that are installed on the phone
i cant restore from a back up as i haven't made one yet (only put wildpuzzle 0.8 on last night)
can anyone help or point me in the right direction,
thanks for looking
Is the sd card a cheap one from ebay?

i downloaded SuperRAM_Sense_v0.1 on my htc hd2 and everything is fine, except it wont let me use my sd card, i cant save images or ANYTHING that has to do with the sd card wont work can someone please help me, i dont want to delete this android off my htc hd2 cause i love it, but if i cant fix this, im going to have to delete it, or is there a better one i can download??
I've met similar problems before, and I thought it was my card being broken. But finally it turns out to be the issue of WM rom, and I flashed a new ROM into HD2, and then SD card is available again and works fine.
I would recommend that take a back up of the SD card and reformat it. Sometimes it can clear most of the nagging problems.

wrong forum, this is dev section.
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...

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

Received my first HTC through the post yesterday and joined the site in an attempt to run android. I know nothing and there's an overwhelming amount of information on this site so just need someone to point me in the right direction.
Used this and followed instructions carefully: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957652
My problem is after running clrcad.exe and haret.exe, the phone reset after a grey screen. Looked like it went well but now the SD card has disappeared from the file explorer and windows when connected through USB.
Any help appreciated, just want to get the SD card back up so I can format it and so on. Thanks.
I take it by the lack of replies that this isn't a common problem. It's kind of put me off trying any new ROM's as a simple procedure like this can't even go straight. Will have to stick with Winmo then
Im not quite sure anymore, but i dont think you are able to mount your sd as long as you use sd builds. I dont know if this is changing with an ext partition on your sd.
Just check out the NAND section. Its installed on your internal memory and not running from sd. WinMob will be fully deleted and replaced with Android, so first do a backup of contacts etc!!!
If you do not need WinMob for any kind of apps for work etc which arent ported to Android yet (which i dont think there are much NAND is the best solution for you.
Started like you with sd build 2years ago, too. But switched to NAND as soon as it was stable.
Now it is almost perfect.

How did you get the card to show again? Or did you buy a new one?
Just a thought,have you tried a soft reset? Switch phone off Take back cover of and press little red button for a few seconds,put cover back on reboot into android
Also make sure your SD card is formatted to 32kb (slow format)

First, Welcome to XDA. Not let's see if I can explain...
The device has two "sdcards". One internal and one external. By default, apps go to the internal sdcard. You'll need root and one of the many scripts around to trick the device into thinking that the external sdcard is the internal one. I have the same tablet BTW. Love mine.
how do i do that i have already partitioned it with mini tool and mounted it with clockworkmod what am i missing

Search... We stress using the search function here at XDA. The main reason is you'll never learn if someone gives you all the answers all the time.
Although you say you've mounted the sdcard in CWM, it's only mounted in CWM. Once you reboot, it's no longer mounted by CWM as CWM is no longer in control. Linux and Android are in control now.
Being the nice guy I am, I'll point you in the right direction this time. But from now on, please search, and search again if no luck the first time. Check out this thread.
Good luck
