Photo gallery making SD-card unavailable - Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
The last two days I've been experiencing a really odd problem with my TD2.
Whenever I use the album to watch the pictures I've taken, I can only watch for a few seconds before the SD card becomes unavailable.
If I pop the card out and back in, its available in file explorer again.
This does not happen when I play music or do other things of the SD card.
I would really like to keep storing my pictures on my SD card, so does anyone have any suggestions to things I might try to fix this problem?

Cannot delete

I've got the same problem
Any help would be appreciated ...

Faulty SD Card?

I have been using a class 2 16 GB SD card that I bought off play.com for a while now, and it worked perfectly in both my Hero and my N1, until recently. Since flashing Froyo, I have been having some issues, for example my mp3 files are not indexed in the music app, so nothing shows up, also my phone was freezing, both when I unplugged it from USB and at other random intervals.
So I decided to try another SD Card to see if it would clear up the music indexing problem. Since then, that has worked, and my N1 does not seem to have frozen at all.
Has anyone else had any issues like this, and could the SD card be causing my phone to freeze? (By freeze I mean it sits with whatever I was doing on the screen, but is completely unresponsive, and sometimes if I wake the phone it sits on the slide to unlock screen with the screen dimmed.
Thanks for any help.
I have a issue like this and I re-formated the the card and all worked for me. I again had the issue with another card I just took all data off the card and all worked so there was a file that had corrupted on the card. Hope this helps
That is definitely useful. Thank you.
Did your problem involve freezing at all?

Camera storage location, will not save to SD

Anyone else having trouble getting the camera app to save to SD? If I change the storage setting to internal, take a pic, then change it back to SD, and take a pic, it will actually go to SD. Then, I wait an hr, take a pic, it goes to internal even though SD is still selected! Very frustrating. I am on stock rom. I've tried "clear data" on the gallery and the camera app. I also tried, obviously, rebooting the phone. Been having this problem since I got the phone.
Mine works fine. It originally was set to store photos in internal storage but I changed it several months ago and now all my photos and videos go right into the dcmi folder on my sd card.
If the problem persists, I probably contact VZ tech support and talk to them about the issue. Are you rooted? If not maybe just call and get a replacement sent to you...
I seem to have found the issue by accident today. I found the button under manage storage that allows you to move all to sd. On inspection, turns out for whaever reason my internal and external are mounted backwards. If I set camera to store to internal memory it will use dcim on the sd. Also, if I select move all to sd, it takes the stuff from the sd and moves it to internal. Odd. I'm sure this will be solved when ics gets pushed or when I root and put a different rom on. Guess ill just deal with it for now.

Problem with walkman crashing

Im not sure if this is a a problem with the phone or the sd card I just installed. Im running on the latest firmware on the xperia T with a Class 10 32gb Sandisk. I've been trying to play my music off from the sd card but it will probably last about less than 10 mins till the music stops playing. The only way to get it to work again would be removing and putting back in the sd card or hard restarting the phone. Also I've notice that my phone is slower than usual when returning to the homescreen. Anyone know what the problem is?
It's probably because of some corrupted music file.
Try to delete all music from SD card, copy there just one music album and try it again. If it happens again, try different album.

[Q] Camera shutter lag with microSD

I'm having this weird problem with the first photo I take with my Lumia 620 takes around 2/4 seconds to be saved if I'm using an microSD card. I've seen in other forums that this happens to any Lumia phone and even HTC ones with micorSD so it's a WP8 problem rather than a specific model of phone or card. I'm using a 16Gb Sandisk Ultra Class 10 UHS-1
Let me explain step by step:
1. Pick up the phone after a couple of minutes of inactivity, it seems like the microSD times out because this problem doesn't happen if you lock and unlock the phone straight away.
2. Open the camera app, focus the photo, and press the shutter button.
3. The phone won't take the photo, it will continue to act like nothing was pressed for another 3 to 4 seconds.
4. The photo is finally taken, in whatever position the phone is now, so the photo is not stored in any buffer or anything like that.
5. Any photo after that is instantaneous.
This problem happens as long as you have the microSD on the phone. Even if you set the phone to save the images in the internal memory, the first photo will continue to lag. Remove the SD card and everything is fine again.
What I've found out is that formatting the microSD as exFAT with 64kb clusters helps with this problem, however it doesn't disappear, it's only reduced.
I know there's other people with this problem, my question is, has anyone found out a way to fix this (other that removing the microSD card)?
P.S.: Yes, I've formatted the card, reset the camera, restored the phone to factory settings and tested with an empty card.

I have exactrly the same problem with my Nokia Lumia 620 Still hoping to get a solituion...
my Lumia had big problems with exFat, including the lag when taking pictures (even worse with videos). Converting it to fat32 and then reformatting it with the phone fixed it for me.
Same problem here... Thanks for the tip about exFat.
A related question: how does the music player fares for you with songs on microSD?
Because mine behaves very badly, with lots of duplicate songs. Do you think the two problems can be related?

I don't know, this problems seems to come in randomly. After formatting the card, it's gone for a time.. I've tried only using ONE tool to put music on it (in my case, the explorer) and it seems to work. Other people at wpcentral have reported this also, the phone seems to have a problem with music synced from more than one program. It was the same for me, I dropped the music in via Explorer and then added an album via Windos media player, and I directly got multiple duplicates..

Nano memory erases itself

I really don't know what's going on here...saturday evening I noticed that some photos were missing from gallery, same thing happened sunday evening...but yesterday the nano memory started erasing itself every couple of hours I lost everything I have in there, with (apparently) no reason.
I made a full reset, nothing changed. No errors while reading the nm card or while copying files on.
I am terribly confused
What size and brand of card is it?
I've had my VOG-L29 for two weeks now and I'm considering which particular card to buy. And which ones to steer clear of....
And I'm sorry, but I have no pointers to what your problem could be.
Original Huawei 128 GB nano memory card...I'm terribly confused, never had a problem like this! I have no strange apps or something that cleans phone automatically, so I really cannot understand what's going on...the card erased itself 3 times!! The last one took place immediately after I've restored everything on my phone, after a full reset.
40 hours later the situation seems stable, but who knows.............

Thank you.
That's not good for an OEM card, I'd understand if it was a cheap ebay one from China.
I have thought about your dilemma and I haven't a clue what could be the cause of random erasure. I haven't read any other similar experiences with a NM Card so maybe yours is a rare faulty one.
Hopefully someone else here may be able to offer advice.
Good luck
I have had the Huawei 256gb card for ages now. It's full of music, photos and music videos and no issues at all.
Is it only photos you're storing on the card or do you also store other documents too? Because if you're only using it for photos and the gallery keeps showing up as empty it may be possible that Huawei Gallery Sync is running and attempting to sync an empty cloud gallery to your NM card.
