I've had my Captivate for a week now, rooted, tweaked and have it generally where I want it.
I'm having a problem that I discovered this evening. I went to preview a WMV file which I had sent to me this morning. I watched the video without problem this morning. When I went to preview the file again this evening, I click on the preview button on the gmail, and a pop up came up saying, "Fetching Attachment" which is the norm. Then the popup now says, "An SD card is required to download attachments"
I went in and started trying other attachments which I need for work and I get nothing but what I put above. Looks like the internal SD card is not being recognized. I went in and changed the internal from a hidden file to allow the Gmail program to "see" the SD card, ... No go... Still doesn't work.
It seems that there are a couple of people posting the same problem... Any ideas or suggestions???
I now have another app not working because it doesn't see the internal SD Card on my Captivate. Beautiful Widgets cannot funtion because it also needs an SD card............
I can see everything via Droid Explorer and when the phone is mounted as well.........
I need some help here to figure out what's up...........

Hi guys
Had problems yesterday with my Storage Card being renamed to Storage Card2 etc and could not figure out what was up. Renamed it back as described in various places (By deleting the Storage Card folder created and resetting).
Today however the Storage Card is not showing up at all. Have tried the following:
- Remove storage card, copy contents onto PC using card reader and formatting. Copy contents back and put in phone. -> No luck.
- Hard reset. -> No luck.
Never had any other roms than the standard. Have not upgraded to 6.1 yet.
Could the contents stop it from showing up?
Cheers

One thing i could think of is a corrupt file.
Try formatting it again (with all your files backed up in your PC) and just insert the card with nothing on it. If it shows up and your phone reads it, a good bet that one or more of your files from your backup is corrupt and the phone is unable to read the card.
yes i suppose that is a logical step to do. lets hope it is. but luckily it is still under warranty if it is hardware...
Reformated the card (FAT32 is this right?) and loaded into HTC TyTN II without restoring files onto it (i.e. completely blank).
Still not showing up...
Any ideas?
ur storage card reader might have become faulty. i would recommend a warranty exchange for ur device.
Installing WM6.1 sorted this out...
I have the exact same problem as you had.. But I already have WM 6.1 and the storage card still doesn't show up..
Tried formating, etc and still nothing.. I can see all the contents if i use a card reader on my PC, but once I insert de card on my kaiser it doesn't show up..
Any ideas?
Have you hard reset? It didn't help me until I installed the WM6.1. Otherwise is it still under warranty. I was actually on the way to take mine in when I installed 6.1. Actually I should have taken it in as I have a scratch on my screen and I suspect they would have replaced the phone...
This problem usually happens if you are using a third party file explorer like Resco etc. and make non visible areas such as your ROM visible.
It then treats the new area as Storage card and the SD card becomes Storage card2.
Just check if you have any other memory areas set as viewable and undo this.
My storage card completely disapeared but came back when I installed WM6.1. Didn't use 3rd party explorers etc. But this might be Baretto's problem.
This problem also occurs when running Card Export II. The Storage Card is renamed as Storage Card2. The only solution is to remove the card and re-insert it.
This solved the problem for me.

The problem I originally described here was the Storage Card disappearing completely. Not renamed etc. I.e. there is no Storage Card2. Baretto may have a similar problem to mine or his may also just be renamed.
Yes, I have the exact same prob as lrossouw did. My mem card wasn't renamed. It just disapeared..
I've already did hard-reset, and I don't use any third party explorer.. I already formated the card.
My only hope is to flash another rom.
I'm using the official HTC 6.1 portuguese rom and i'de like to stick with this rom..
If I was the only one with this problem, I would think it would be a hardware prob, but lrossouw solved his prob by flashing another ROM, so I'm hoping there will be another solution..
EDIT: Just tried to flash another ROM and still no success.. Still Can't find my mem card
I got one better for you. I had to wind up formatting mine because of this. Here's the deal. I go to open up my storage card and the folder is there but none of my files are showing. Then I go to the memory to check the space available and it was still showing that I had half of the card full. So I popped out the card and plugged it into my computer with the same results, nothing. So then I soft reset twice, nothing. I pim backed up my phone and hard reset, nothing. The pim back up was on my card but nothing else. Then I made another my documents folder and for a split second it showed the files that use to be in the old my documents. So seeing that all was lost I formatted my card and I haven't had any problems yet. I started a thread about this but no one responded so I assumed no one else had this problem.
P.S. I have an 8gig sdhc card

No one has answered you, because there are already other threads about that problem.. Search and you will find them..
This thread is not about empty mem cards.. It's about the device not recognizing the card, so pls refer to other threads..
Thanks
Baretto is it possible to reflash it with the wm6.1 rom? It might fix it.

LOL,
Guy this is the easiest fix ever.
All you do is delete the folder that says "Storage Card" then remove & reinsert the SD card. SD 2 will disappear & be corrected upon reinsertion.
This issue happens because of the Unload delay & sometimes because of SD Power management issues.
Always best to make sure SD Card Power Management is DISABLED.

As I & Baretto posted before (read the bit you quoted) there is no *spoon* (edit:storage card folder). It is not there. Can't delete it if it is not there. There is no Storage Card 1,2 or any number either. The storage card is not showing up anywhere and not as SD2 either.
Mine was fixed by upgrading to wm6.1. Baretto is on wm6.1 already.
@ lrossouw
I already tried to reflash it with HTC original 6.1 rom and other 6.1 cooked roms and nothing..
I'm getting desperate..
I'm thinking about sending it to the warranty, but I'm predicting 1 or 2 months without my Kaiser if I do so
@ GSLEON3
What do you mean by "SD Power management issues"? As lrossouw said, I don't have the SD card rename problem, but maybe my Kaiser ins't recognizing the SD card because of something related with power mangement..
It might be power related. My phone was on very very low battery power just before this happened for me. In fact had to reset itself a couple of time due to low battery. The next day the storage card was gone.
Anythign similar for you Baretto?
So... when I open my camera or try to take any pictures i immediately am greeted with a message saying to insert an SD card to take pictures... under settings my SD card shows up fine, it lets me look through pictures on the SD card and all my apps run off of my SD card so i know it's not that, after rebooting i can get it to take one picture but anything after that it gives me the error message again. i'm running RC33 JF1.42, and haven't really made any recent changes to the phone, the most recent thing i did was load up one of the themes which worked fine for the past few days up until now. anyone else have this issue? the other thread i read in dream android development the guy just had to replace his SD card which i know is not my issue since everything else works fine on it =\

try to copy all your sd contents in pc and format the sd card (fat32 area NOT ext2)and just copy your files again. I had the same problem and solved it by doing that
addons: If u moved your cache to sd try to delete all those cache before you copy back to sd
What's up guys. Anyone else have an issue with their Nexus not recognizing your SD card after the Froyo update? I have a 16 GB class 2 Sandisk. The phone recognizes the phone in recovery without any issue. I tried formatting the card and also reflashing Froyo, but I still get nothing. Any ideas? Thanks!
Same issue here. Stock card that came with the N1, have never had an issue...now it keeps telling me it's safe to remove, and when I go into SD settings and mount, it just goes back to that notification over and over. Probably about to restore to cyan 5.0.6 for now...
I took my card out. Using my SD card reader, backed up files, formatted, SD card in phone, connect to computer. And it worked. Then loaded my files back on. Btw I also have a 16gb card

Yeah...try just popping the card out the phone and then reinsert.
It seems like i'm still having this issue. I decided to stick with CM 5.8 until they officially released 2.2. It doesn't matter if I install the official update or a rom based on 2.2, my phone still refuses to recognize my card. I've searched all over the net and i've yet to run into anyone else with this issue. It sees the card fine in recovery and when using CM 5.8. I've wiped the phone, formatted the card and i'm not sure what else to try.
Same problem here, also a 16Gb SDCard
works 100% in 2.1, but refuses to work with Froyo.
Any workarounds, or is this a bug in the current Froyo builds?
Suggestion is to copy the contents of your to your computer, then format, and try again

I think I have this too - with a workaround
hi,
On my Nexus one I am running Froyo OTA.
I noticed that when I turn on my phone the SD card is not fully recognized. All the icons of my apps appear blank for all SD moved apps. I tried switching cards and reformatting and everything but it always happens.
I found one workaround which usually works:
1. When turned on and apps not recognized, run ASTRO files manager
2. Even though card is not fully recognized you can access all files on the SD from ASTRO. Now run the SD Card Tool from the menu.
3. After the scan is finished showing usage of directories on SD, I close the ASTRO which twice hitting the back key and when I return to the home screen all apps are re-enabled and icons are updated. From here on everything works.
Hope this is the same issue you are having and this helps you to solve it.
Perhaps Gingerbread will make this obsolete

What you're describing is a function of Froyo's Apps2SD together with either custom launcher (LauncherPro, ADW, and such), or long loading time after reset. It's a known and much discussed issue, help files for both custom launchers suggest force-closing the launcher a couple of minutes after reset.
It doesn't have anything to do with SD card not being recognized.
There is no such thing as "partially recognized" SD card, it's either working or it doesn't, and when it doesn't - no files can be seen on it at all.
I'm a bit of noob to all this, so please bear with me.
I was previously running Modaco FR19, when yesterday I decided I'd finally jump to GB and installed CM7 nightly 204 using Paul's kitchen. Everything is working fine, except that my internal SD seemingly isn't being recognised. Any time I try to launch my Gallery or ES File Explorer, it gives me the message "SD Card unmounted or not present". When I go to settings/storage then it shows up normally as '/mnt/emmc' and will let me unmount or erase.
External SD card works normally when I put that in, but I'm used to leaving it out as I never use much storage space.
Another funny detail: when I connect the phone to Windows via USB then I'm not given the option to turn on USB storage, however that option appears if I do it while the external SD card is inserted. In that case, the internal appears as drive H: and the external appears as drive G:.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this? I didn't look into if CM7 and FR19 have different file systems so I don't know if its to do with that. Or would a wipe help? Would appreciate any help.
Cheers.
edit: With ES File Explorer, I can still browse to the internal memory and it will display all the files as it normally would. Do I need to change a pointer to the default storage location somewhere? As my gallery still won't find my photos.
edit 2: I changed an internal storage setting in CM, and then later moved some of my photos to a different folder, and everything seems to be working ok for the moment. If nothing else is screwed up, then I'm good.
Hello!
You could also try using "stock mount fix" for CM7...

I would prefer to install a external SD-card since they aren't really expensive any more...

Thats pretty neat, I didn't know about that, thanks. I'll give it a miss for now, as I don't want to risk screwing up my phone even more.
The only reason I haven't been keen on using an external SD card is because mine is only 2gb, compared to the 5gb+ that comes with the phone internally. But looking at prices, I might just go ahead and buy a bigger card to use.
So long story short my wife's bionic was acting up, I rooted it and installed bootstrapper upon rebooting from cw I got the encryption unsuccessfull error. I ended up downloading the firmware file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240725 and using rsdlite to push the files. I pulled her sd card out and copied everythign off it, unfortunately all her current pictures are on the internal memory (or was on it). When I go to storage it can see that the phone has 16GB of internal storage however it only shows 3.61GB free. I had to format the sd card to get it work properly.
The phone doesn't take a picture without the sd card in, however if I go to gallery to look at the pictures it tells me it can't find any external memory. I have tried to take some screen shots but those won't save.
I really need some help getting this phone functioning properly. Thanks in advance!
