So I was trying to download one of my favorite podcasts to my storage card and for the first time (as I have done this before) I noticed my phones memory depleting rapidly. This was a 42mb file and stopped downloading as I ran out of memory. I had virtually nothing on my card that I was downloading to.
I am using Touch IT 2.3. Do I have something set incorrectly? this is very odd..
And for the record if anyone cares I was downloading thecellphonejunkie.com

Have a cingular 8125, have tried to install that rom a cpl times now. Activating the camera works fine (which btw it seems to be the cleanest looking screen yet). But once I try to take a picture I get this:
Unable to capture. Failed to set up the camera device. 36001:102:0

Yikes. I can't replicate the problem, and I've been using the ROM for a couple weeks now.
Do you have any other unusual behavior? I wonder if it's either a hardware problem or a mildly bad flash (the ROM upgrade kind, not the blinky blinding light kind).
Does it happen every time or intermittently?
Happens everytime, and I've reflashed a cpl times now. I'll download the file again (something I haven't done yet) and give it another shot. But other then the camera problem I haven't noticed anything else that is acting weird.
Ok, went through the camera options again and just fixed the problem. Changed it from storing pictures in phone memory to the storage card. Not sure why that fixed it as memory is telling me I have 36mb free for storage and 25mb for programs, and more then a gig free on my storage card. So I apologize if I mislead anyone, never had to set the camera to store pics on the storage card so just never thought to try it.

I had this happen as well. I wnet to storage card problem solved.
Ok no idea how this happened so I'm sorry I can't say exactly what went wrong. Last night I noticed that for some reason none of my mp3s were showing up in the library. Was out with some friends so just went on with my night until I tried to use PocketCM Contacts. Some reason it wouldn't load and I had to uninstall it and switch my softkey back to standard contacts. Latter on I realized that everything on my storage card was somehow gone.
In settings - memory it still shows the same amount of file space taken up on the card and I have tried removing it a few times and resetting.
If it's all gone that's ok because I have copies of all the programs I had installed. Only problem really is that I don't think I have the mp3s on my computer.
Was just wondering if this has happened before and if there is a chance the files are still there since the space on the card is still used. I also plugged the phone into active sync and it also shows nothing on the card.
This is a common problem and there are lots of things that cause it. Primarily, it is installing programs on your SD card, and leaving them running and your phone hibernating.
Typically when this happens, a simple soft reset will fix the problem... but I always suggest keeping up to date back ups of your SD card in order to avoid losing all your data.
I'm in a car at the moment using internet sharing on my phone, so I'm not going to find you all the links, but run a search on the site for "Corrupt SD Card" or "disappearing SD card" and you'll find lots of info about it.
Thanks man. Since I lost all my programs I think I'm gonna reflash the phone too. Want to try touch-it out.
man it has happened to me like 3 times on my wing. the first time i soft reset my phone and it worked. The next time i deleted my documents folder because it was showing 2 of them and i lost everything. I formatted the card and it messed up again this weekend. I ended up flashing to the touch it rom yesterday to see if it would make my phone more stable because i read that it might be the phone making my card act up.
I searched for ways to fix it and downloaded programs but they didnt work because my SD wasnt recognized by the programs. I lost 400 songs and ringtones and videos the first time and 500 songs the next. I have all the songs on my cpu but i made them all smaller to save space and that took a while. I dont even feel like putting anymore music on there because i might end up losing it all again.
Just keep contant backups of your card in case it happens... I bought a USB 2.0 card reader Stick thing for like $20... so I can copy files back and forth faster than thru activesync.
Hello again, I thought to start a new thread about this "new" problem that has occured recently after flashing to cyanmod 7.1.
My external 16GB SD Card is recognized by my phone, then after a while disappears (I cannot find it in the file manager), after a restart tells me the SD card has errors. I quick-formatted on my PC to fat32, and also on my phone yet again.
The SD card was working fine always, until I flashed to cyanmod...:\
A yes, games also tend to lag a bit and some apps just hang, have to be forced shutdown.
I guess I have to go on with another kernel/flash.
Which one would you consider "stable", fast and kinda intuitiv (i liked cyanmod for its shutdowned touchpad led buttons option, etc).
Shall I change the kernel or just flash another mod? what would be reasonable in my situation?
Info:
Android Version: 2.3.7
Kernel: 2.6.35.12-gdf10700 [email protected] #1
Mod: CyangenMod-7.1.0 GalaxyS
Build: GWK74
Again I am appreciating all comments from your insider minds.
Are you sure your SD card is not physically malfunctioning? Those slow, FC, undetectable symptoms make me think it may be so since i used cyanogen A LOT and never had any issue with my sdcard apart from anything that didn't like it mounted elsewhere (/emmc)
There's a simple test you may do: try replacing your card with another one for a couple of days and see how it goes. If it runs smooth, yea dude, your card has given up on life
You can also try a complete format as opposed to a quick one and you can even try out a few tools like my personal fav for flashdrives: HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool (google it, it's free). This one has worked for me even when the flashdrive seemed beyond hope, not even being detected. Worth a shot.
Thanks. I don't have another sd card at hand right now, but I tried formatting it the long way, used your program for that. No change. I also tried to play videos my old firmware could play, but this one can't play them just starts and stopps immediately. Weird.
When recording videos in HD quality the video is lagging, insynch...when copying to pc the picture is stopping and moving, stopping, moving...weird. Sound is also off. Except when played with VLC player.
I think this cyangen mod 7.1 is unstable and buggy.
I had not 1 problem with my old 2.3 firmware, just that the sensor buttons couldn't be turned off (which drove me to think about a new firmware).
What is the next step to follow, change the firmware, or mod?
If so, which one is the most widely accepted and stable one beside cyanmod?
I'm using TurboStock. A few days ago, I started having this issue were my Gallery, Camera, and basically any other app that involved me using my internal or external memory, say that I don't have any more memory available on my phone, when I have at least 3 gigs of external SD space and 2 gigs of internal space. I found out that the issue has something to do with the Google Frameworks Services process, if I clear the data and reset the phone, it all starts working again, but after a few minutes, the issue comes back again.
I'm pretty sure this had something to do with me transferring songs over Songbird. After I made the transfer and disconnected my phone, I started having this issue. Any ideas on why the issue might be coming up again?
I love marshmallow's adoptable storage feature, allowing me to install more apps. This feature worked beautifully for about a month and a half. However, I shut down the device, plugged it in to charge, went to sleep, and the next morning, the apps that were moved to the sd card were not available anymore. They were all greyed out on my launcher(Nova). I moved about 4 gigs worth of mostly games. Fortunately, most of them had cloud storage, but some favorite games didnt. This isn't that big of a problem, but I'd like to try to fix it. So, I went here for help.
At first, I thought the class 10 SanDisk 16gb sd had just gotten bumped out of the slot where the connections happen, so I opened the back cover and removed and inserted the sd card. The notification that prompted me to put the sd back in went away for a few seconds, but then came back. I repeated the process of removing and inserting the sd a few times, but still no moved apps were available. I put the sd into an adapter, then into my laptop, and it showed on file explorer. So the sd card could still be recognized, but maybe unusable.
I dont know what happened, one day it was working, the next day it wasn't. I know i formatted it as internal and portable storage a few times, so maybe that wore it out. I'm running cm13
Hello,
On my phone I used the micro SD card normally as external storage. On day I plugged in my headphones and there was no music. I though that the micro SD card must have come out. However, reinserted it it didn't work. I wouldn't open on computer either. While I don't have a solution, I am pretty sure I also had the same problem.
Once I was taking pictures with my phone when it crashed and rebooted. Some hours before the crash I uninstalled some apps and installed some others (but never rebooted the phone). After the phone started again after the crash, all the pictures and files were gone, the uninstalled apps were there as if I've never uninstalled them and the new installed ones dissapeared.

how long have you used your sd card? i'm sure that the more you use a micro sd card, the more it will wear out and become unuseable/corrupted. That has happened to me before, where the sd card just stopped working.

I have used it for about 1 year. So it may be that but, it has never occurred before.
Same problem here, you can read it here. While I am writing hopefully my files from Titanium Backup are transfered to my laptop. It got worse and worse, in my opinion the sd-card has reached it's end of life because of it's heavy usage. Error occured the first time after the phone got really hot recording gpx tracks. Bye bye sd-card
Another opinion is that warranty is over after two years, so the phone can quit it's duty now - obsolescense plans

yeah, i'm starting to think my micro sd just bailed from wear like that too, but i got to use mine for just over 3 months. i ejected the sd and put it into my computer, and interestingly enough, on my computer it reads 16 megabytes. i was like WAAT that cant be, i formatted it, put it back in my phone as portable, and it read as the normal 14gb. i'm starting to think my sd as internal is the cause of my random reboots. im even running the lastest cm13 update too...
i guess ill try and use my sd as just portable storage from now on, and see if i get any random reboots..
I switched to TurboROM which is using the sd-card as a portable media device, so no more encryption, heavy usage and complete data loss if you do not get your encryption key with root permission.
System space left after complete recovery of my apps with TB is quite nice - but you do not have the possibility to use App2SD (correct me if I am wrong).
So the only way to save internal system space is to move pictures, movies and heavy openstreetmap cards to external.
