I have been trying to remove files from my SD-card by connecting my phone to my computer and remove files from the SD. So I delete the files, disconnect my phone and everything is ok but when I use AndExplorer I see that the files are still there. So I delete them with AndExplorer instead and everything is fine, but when I connect my phone to the computer again nothing has changed. I don't get any error when writing/reading to the SD but it doesn't seem to have any effect when I unmount and mount my phone again.
I have also been noticing some problems when starting the camera when it tries to "prepare sd" and save pictures wich I haven't had before. I think these problems started after my phone fell on the floor. Could it have been that the SD-card ejected it self and got corrupt?
How do I solve this? Should I buy a new SD or is there a way to fix this?
I'm running VanillaEclair 2.0.1 NAS if that's any help.
Okay, I found a similar thread on androidcommunity.

I will try to format the card.
My internal sd card has deleted everything of it. when I go to the gallery it says ' not found any pictures in your sd card!. I also get ' not enough memory' messages.
What has happened?

help!!! please
Which version of the I9000 do you have ?
Is it the international version? or the I9000 >>M << (bell, canada)
Have you tried to format the sd card via recovery menu and / or windows ?
Finally if you have tried that, have you tried flashing with 3 files and PIT ?
Do you use any app that might hide your sd? I had the same problem with a gallery app. I Uninstalled And poof! Sd contents were back!
GT-I9000. CM7.
put your phone in mass storage mode and see what windows does it may give you a box that says it has detected problems and a option to fix click yes you might be able to see the contents or use recovery software to find the files
I had this on a Galaxy s2 and widows did its thing i unpluged the phone and turned it off and back on and it scanned fine
You might fined its a rouge app that has done this and it affects rooted phones manly
[Q] The Play Store gives me this error message when I try to install certain apps: "Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card." What can I do to install those apps?
[A] *After receiving the error message*
1) Go to your phone's Settings > Storage
2) Unmount SD Card (your external SD card)
3) Download/install from the app(s) from the Store again
4) Go back to Settings > Storage - then Mount your SD card again (or reboot)
5) Enjoy the app(s)
Background: I thought I was encountering some compatibility issue because the Note 3 was newly released and I had just acquired mine. I had also received the error when trying to update one of my apps. It is still not clear to me why it occurred and this is the only solution that fixed it for me.
Could be SD going bad, check LOST.DIR for any files, if anything there, it is already getting corrupted.
Checked, nothing in LOST.DIR

Have the same problem - removed mSD and Rebooted to get it fixed
This just showed up , and i formated my sd but it fixed nothing . After re mounting it , the problem was still there . I removed it completely and then rebooted . The problem is gone , but could the problem come from the sd ?

Sounds to me like a ROM problem. I started experiencing that problem today when I install NV ROM for M8
The play store is an annoying piece of ******. I can install everything except Zooper Pro (RPC:S-3 error). Thus forcing me to use a cracked apk, simply because nothing else works!
Anyway, as for your errors. Tried deleting the data and cache on the Play Store and Google Play Services? Do you have enough space available?
sollution 2
here is some more info
it seems like it should be easy to fix fo google :/

Same problem. I've noticed the problem isn't the sd card, because i've changed it and could not install certain apps anyway.
I guess it's a rom problem. I'm on Blekota S5 v10 now, that's causing this issue. Yesterday I've flashed my rom stock backup, and every thing was ok.
Although if you are rooted first
1.)Unmount SD Card
2.)Download Link2SD it will requires root get it on play store for free
3.)Download your favorite app that get some errors
4.)Mount SD Card
5.)Put the app from external to SD using Link2SD
6.)Profit
Works
Thanks for the answer!
Just Backup and Format

Hi There... The problem with Unmounting and Mounting the SD Card is that since I have my music saved on my SD Card I have to choose a New Ringtone and all my Alarm tones all over again each time I do that... So I backed up all my Music to my Phones Memory, Formatted the SD Card and Voila... Now I don't have to keep Unmounting and Mounting the SD Card every time I want to update an App... more so I only had to go through the hassle of choosing the music once after the format... Hope this helps
I have had a problem with the app FolderMount. I explain you what I've done.
First of all, I've downloaded the game "The Walking Dead Season One" with its
1,1GB of data game. I've tried to move this file in external SD card with FolderMount and all is
gone good. After I have rebooted my device (Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505) and I
have opened the game, but it has started the download of data game. So I've
gone to control if FolderMount have mounted the folder and I have tapped the
green icon and it has became gray, then I've tapped again ad it has became
green. I've gone to control the game and it started. Then I tapped again the
icon and I have deleted the lonk folder in FolderMount and I have unistalled
the game. Now the ext sd card doesn't work more. I can do nothing, I can't
deleted any folder or file in its, and I also can't format it! Please, could
you explain me what I can do to solve this problem?
Sorry for my bad english but I'm Italian
I recently received my new S5, I rooted the phone, and also bought a 32gb external sd card. I realized that with KitKat 4.4.2, google has prevented apps from writing to the external SD card. I looked up workarounds to this problem and came to this:
trendblog.net/fix-kitkat-sd-card-write-restriction
I applied the fix to my phone, editing the platform.xml file, rebooted, and realized that my INTERNAL SD folder has now been wiped clean and is now empty. A lot of apps stopped working, including youtube, google, samsung keyboard etc, with the message "unfortunately <insert app name> has stopped". In particular, the MyScript Resource Manager constantly stops, and gives me that message. I am unable to go online either even though am able to connect to wireless and data networks.
I have tried different ways to solve the issue, including factory reset, and flashing stock rom, but my internal SD folder remains empty.
Does anyone have any idea how to solve this issue?
I've just had the exact thing happen. We're you able to fix?
