Hello
I have a strange issue with my Milestone. I have installed Tigermame from the market. When i use my 16 gb sdcard i normally use the program just shuts down. But when i use anothersd card, the program runs fine. It seems like it might have problems writing a hidden folder and some text files to the sd card. Is there something i can do about it. Allmost every other apps that i bought, can write files to that sdcard
Problem solved, it wasn't the sd card.
I emptied the card, then put the roms on it, playede some games. Then I put my files and folders back on the card. Now it works every time.

Hello all, I recently upgraded to the ATT Fuze and then installed an AData 8 Gb MicroSD card. The issue is sometimes the phone will not detect the files in the card. So if I restart my phone everything works fine and the phone sees all files in the SD card with 80 mb used. If I restart again the phone takes a long time to view memory of the storage card and then shows nearly the entire 8 gb used. File explorer show the folders but none of the files in the SD card.
Anyone see this issue or how to resolve it. I have already replaced the phone once. SD card works perfectly when used in a laptop.
Please help
Wrong section or do i misunderstand?
I am sorry if it is in the wrong section. Which section should it be in?

I've got a problem with replacing the SD card. I searched for it and it seems like no-brainer. But I don't know what the problem is:
I bought a 16 GB Transcend to replace the SanDisk 2GB that came with my Liquid.
I have [Leaked]Froyo ROM. I had many apps on SD and some on the phone.
Here is what I did:
- I unmounted the 2GB card in my phone and turned it off.
- I put the new card and turned the phone back on.
- Then connected the old card with a card reader to my Mac. Also, connected the phone via USB and turned the USB storage on.
- I just copied everything from the old card to the new card and turned the USB storage off.
Now here's the problem:
None of the apps on SD are working! And they are not linked! It seems they are not installed.
When I tap their home screen icons, I get the error: "The application is not installed on your phone"
Also, only the apps on the phone are shown in applications.
I double tried the same process with formatting the new card in the phone, but got the same thing. I also copied the hidden folders as well. No luck with that, too.
Any suggestions? It is really driving me ...
BTW, I put the old card back and it is working just fine.
Problem Solved!
I finally found out what the problem was and upgraded my microSD successfully with all the applications working.
I decided to post the SOLUTION so it may help others as well:
The key issue is in the .android_secure folder on the SD card. Before this, I didn't know it is the place where Froyo puts all the apps that are transferred to SD.
Here are the steps that worked for me:
1) Unmounted the old SD and turned the phone off.
2) Copied EVERYTHING from the old card to my PC (I used a card reader).
**ATTENTION: By everything I mean all the files and folders including folders starting with "." (Especially .android_secure)
3) Formatted the new card (FAT32) using the Windows.
**FOR CAUTION: DO NOT use the phone to format the card. Because it makes a .android_secure and it will screw with the one you want to replace. [If you have done it anyways, just make sure to REPLACE the .android_secure folder]
4) Connected the new card to the PC and paste everything to it.
5) Put the new card in to the phone and turn it back on. BINGO! All should work without any problem.
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.
I rooted my nook internally. When I use my card reader to install apps on my card they Dont show up on my nook. When the card is in the reader I can see them, but I can't see them when I open file explorer and look on the sdcard. How can I install APk files from my SD card? I also took my sdcard out of my rooted evo to try and load some of the same apps from my phone through titanium backup and none of them showed up in titanium backup. I cant figure out what's wrong......this worked fine on my nook tablet. Any ideas?
Is the card showing as mounted in the Nook?
Yes, it is mounted. Ive tried unmounting it, then took it out and put it back in and remounted it and its still not showing any apks that I put on it from my pc. I thought maybe it was the card, so I took my EVO card and tried it in my nook and it was the same thing. I can take the card and put it in my card reader and everything shows up on my pc. I even tried reformating the card wiping everything. I put the card in the nook and turned it on. I then unmounted the card and put it in my card reader and the only file that showed up was "LOST.DIR". I then tried to put an apk file in the lost.dir folder to see if I could find it once I put the card in the nook and when I opened up lost.dir there was nothing. I can take the same card out of the nook and put it in my EVO and go into file explorer and open lost.dir and I can see the apk file. So I know its something with the nook.
I can download apks from market, and from other places and I can install them without any problems. I am stumped!!!
So you can see the card when it is in the Nook, can see the lost.dir but not any files inside it. Is that correct?
This is not a fix, but have you considered installing DropBox and then just placing the files in the DropBox folder you designate on your desktop and then syncing with the Nook? You should see them then and be able to install.....
Come to find out, the sd card is bad. After I tried to put it back in my EVO to see if it would read again it would not. I also tried to write a big file onto the card with my card reader and it would show the file being on the card but it really wasnt as it never actually transfered the file to the card. Weird to say the least. I got another card and now all is well.
Recently I moved all my downloaded apps to my SD card, and I noticed that when my phone starts those apps take awhile to load and my ringtone (which is located on the SD Card) always get changed to the default one. Is it everything alright?
The apps take time to load just because Android scans and prepares sd card to be used. Until it does its work you will get App Not Installed message. It's normal.
Hit thanks for help
