No, there is current no fix available. HTC is said to release a new WM6 ROM that fix this problem - but it's just hearsay, don't count on it.
The storage card 2 appears when your card is corrupted (perhaps on the system memory, or the card physically), it just got stuck in an unusable state in the system. Somehow at the same time, some program is trying to write things into it. The WM OS is so dump (convienient to programmer, however) that it treats storage cards as part of PATH for saving files. So the OS "magically" creates a new folder "storage card 2", in an attempt to give you the most pleasant experience using WM instead of an error. But users won't notice problems until it is too late, or would only notice this with even bigger confusions like you.
To be honest, I believe a simple error message would really make everyone's life easier, be it users, and the guys at HTC.
OK, if you are asking for remedies, there is one. Try the program "sd sentry". It will notify you whenever there's a corruption or disappearance of the SD card, so you could prevent damage actually being written to the disk physically by rebooting the machine in advance.
How to get this little but useful program is left as an exercise the the readers.
Is there anyway to force format a corrupted MicroSD card? While partitioning the card, I messed up pretty bad. The card is unreadable to the G1, and when inserted into my computer is undetectable and even causes Windows Explorer to hang. I have tried several computers with memory card readers, different cell phones, etc.
--wow. the simplest of devices solved my problems. I used a Nokia 5310, it allowed me to format the memory card without any checks. Thank you for simple phones.
Damn... I have a 2GB card with the exact same problem. I wonder if my BB Curve would do the trick... probably not
Had the problem and fixed it this way:
First, turn off the autoplay on the PC. That will resolve the hanging problem as Winblows attempts to figure out what the hell is being inserted into it (sounds like my last date!)
Next, download and install a program called Flash Drive Tester v1.12 and run it on the card. It will basically blank the card completely as it does its test.
You should be able to reformat in Windows by doing a "Full Format" on the drive.
Problem solved (at least for me)
kinda same problem
Hey there, I hav had my g1 for a while now and maybe 4 or 5 months ago when looking through my albums it loaded up all the thumbnails (took longer than usual) but when I tried to view any it just blanked all the thumbnails and started loading them again. Eventually managed to recover my files and reformat card using pc. No problems till now, same thing happened again. Has any1 else had this problem? It is the stock 2gig Transcend microSD. Also now I'm running apps2sd on a partition on my card and cyanogenmod but as I said this happened before when everything was stock. Thanks in advance people
Hi!
I just got my SGS a week ago, and have encountered some issues I would like some help with.
The external SD card I had in my previous phone is having some issues, sometimes when I go to the music player the album art is there and all of the songs, but when you click on a song a message shows saying "the file does not exist", same thing in the gallery, there are thumbnails but when clicking nothing loads.
According to "myFiles" there is indeed a SD card present but it only contains 2 unreadable files, and in the settings menu the amount of space is still correct accordingly to what is on the card.
After a reboot the phone media scans the card, and the files are back.
I tryed format the SD card from the phone but it didn't help.
Running the phone stock out of the box with 2.1
navigate to /sdcard/sd/
then you will see your real stuff
/sdcard = internal SD of the phone
/sdcard/sd = external SD you insert into the phone

Hey I had the same issue. Not sure what happens. I think it happens when I put the USB cable in. I downloaded some widget/app that can basically re-scan your media without you having to restart.
forget the name but check it out / search for it.
That is what i meant, in /sdcard/sd/, when i start the phone up all files are there, and then randomly disappear, both there and in musicplayer/gallery.
Hmm, but is such behavior normal, I mean it feels like it shouldn't be necessary to have a app. to constantly remind the phone of the SD cards content.
I'm curious if it's a hardware issue (SD card or phone) or just software..
Hey guys
Okay straight to the weird problems I am experiencing
Running darkys 8.1
First is that when I plug my phone to the computer i only get access to my internal sd card while the external stays slightly transparent and can't open. Used to get both opening up but now only Internal sd card Happened a while ago but paid no heed to it and now i guess i am paying for it. have trying dual mounting and other things to try to get it to work but no luck.
Secondly I just recently got a 32gb the new sd card( promblem number 1 still persisting with the new sd card aswell) and it seems all the videos I put on it start to get corrupted one by one. I would watch the video and 10 mins later I get unsupported file type. Which is kind of weird as everything would be good and few seconds later half of my videos are useless.
Allready formated sd card several times ones through the computer and twice through phone.
Thanks for reading!

I have a weird problem that is happening with my new Note 3. It seems that if I power up the phone with a micro-sd card that has any MUSIC on it, the phone goes into a continuous reboot cycle where it gets to the lock screen and then reboots over and over again non-stop. Even taking out the battery for a while then reinserting doesn't work. However, if I take out the SD card everything is fine. Furthermore, if I put in any other micro-sd card from 16GB to 64Gb that does NOT have any music on it, everything works fine even if it contains other media such as video. If I put a different micro-sd card from the original that has music on it, it goes through the same reboot cycle. Note that if I boot up without the card, and THEN put the card in, everything also works fine - so it's just something with the initial boot sequence. I'm using the stock USA ATT Note 3 (not rooted or anything else done).
I do believe this is a software and not hardware issues. The music was loaded from iTunes using iSyncr in both cards I tried. I will try to copy / paste over music later (not home now) and see if that makes any difference, but in the interim I'm wondering if anyone here ever experienced anything like this or are NOT having problems with music on a micro-sd card. All of the micro-sd cards I am trying are Sandisk 64GB Class 10 - even the ones that DO work fine. The difference is solely seems to be the content on them.
Any ideas?
Have you tried reformatting the card? (Copy the contents off 1st of course)

I have a couple thousand songs on my SanDisk microSD card and I haven't had any issues.
Could be a bad file during the transfer causing issues. Let us know how it turns out when you take the songs and transfer them back. I would do a little at a time and reboot just to test

My AT&T Note 3 doesn't even recognize a 2GB and a 32GB MicroSD card. Any Thoughts anyone? I think I may have a defective device. AT&T model.
Thoughts? It doesn't see the card as an option to format or mount in the storage settings and I formatted it on my pc just fine. Both FAT32 and NTSF formats. Brand new card (32GB) and the 2GB is just an older card I ha lying around. Neither one is recognized.

I had the same problem using a Samsung 64 gb card. To solve the problem I removed the card, left the back cover off, rebooted the phone and inserted the card while the phone was on. I haven't had the problem reoccur.
Although you may want to have a backup of your card before you try the above.

Yes - If you read my original post, I indicated this does work. HOWEVER, if I then reboot AGAIN with that card in, I again get the reboot cycle over and over unless until I again remove the card, boot back up, and reinsert the card again. Does this happen to you?
To test what's going on, I started with a completely new empty 64GB micro-sd card (Sandisk Class 10), which I inserted with no booting isues. Then I began doing a simple copy / past of music onto the card a little at a time and then reinserted and re-booted. Everything was fine for awhile, and then it began have the rebooting issue after loading a certain amount of music. Thinking it may be a bad file or something. I wiped the card again and did the same thing with completely different music files, which again was fine for a while until a loaded a number of songs and it happened again. Note that NONE of the rebooting isues occur until I trigger an initial reboot manually (i.e. with power off or restart).
So now I'm thinking that this is some type of issue with the number of song files loaded on the micro-sd card. At the time when the reboot issues because, I had probably loaded about 4000 - 5000 music files (maybe 25-30 GB). I have about 13,000 files that I normally load on the card (around 60 GB at 128 kpbs). 95% are AAC files purchased from iTunes (all without any DRM). Android does a mediascan at boot-up time so maybe there is an issue with Android's media scan in 4.3. Note that I did NOT have this issue on my Note 2 running 4.2.1 (I think)
So for those with OR without the issue that have music on there, do you know how many song files approx you have and of what type?
After performing the steps I described I have not had the problem occur, even through many reboots.
I have 2000 music files, most are in FLAC format, occupying approximately 58 gb.

Thanks.
Is anyone else that has 5000 or more songs on their SD card either experiencing (or not experiencing) the boot up problem?
The reboot cycle problem is bigger than having music files on your sd card. I recommend you check out this thread:

Possible workaround
I may have stumbled upon a workaround for the continuous boot problem. It seems that if you turn-off 'Always allow scanning' in the advanced Wi-fi settings then the problem will not occur. Your mileage may vary.
Follow these steps:
1. If your Galaxy Note 3 is in a continuous boot cycle or suffers from it then remove the back cover and remove the battery. Leave the back cover off.
2. Remove the SD card.
3. Insert the battery and boot. Wait for the device to fully boot.
4. Go to Menu -> System Settings -> Wi-Fi -> Menu -> Advanced
5. Uncheck 'Always allow scanning'
6. Use back key until you're home.
7. Turn off the device.
8. Insert the SD card.
9. Attach the back cover.
10. Turn the device on.
To confirm, I tried booting the device three times with the 'Always allow scanning' Wi-Fi setting checked and it ended up in a continuous boot cycle. With the 'Always allow scanning' Wi-Fi setting unchecked the device boots fine every time.
problem solved

What if we don't have a SD card at all? Has this issue got anything to do with the SD card?

In my case, and from what was reported here by other posters and the original poster, the issue seems to be related to having a 64 gb card installed.
If I don't have the 64gb card installed then the device always boots fine regardless of the 'Always allow scanning' Wi-Fi setting. I do not know if others that have posted here have their device exhibit the problem without the 64 gb card installed. I can only infer from others posts that the problem does not occur on their device if the card is not installed, regardless of the aforementioned Wi-Fi setting.
Hence, if your device is going into a cyclical boot without the card, then the problem with your device may be due to other factors.
