After I unplug my phone from the computer (I had it plugged in for charging) the music app(s) complain that my SD card is currently mounted and therefore unavailable so it cannot be accessed for music, etc. All I do is plug in the USB cable and let it sit for charging, then unplug when needed. In fact, I've been doing this for months, but only one week ago I'm seeing this SD card issue. To resolve it, I have to restart my phone.

Any time I plug my phone in now whether charging or to my computer when I unhooking it the SD cards aren't mounted. Even if I turn off storage from the not. Bar.
Any ideas?
Rooted,lagfix and market enabled. Pretty sure it started after root though..

I had that issue this morning, and I notice it happens more often with MicroUSB cables that don't fit cleanly all the way into the usb socket.
I turned on USB debugging mode and then it gave me the notification to mount the sd card.
Can someone provide me info regarding this in which every time I charge my cellphone using the USB charger, the internal SD card becomes undetectable and I need to hard reset my phone every time I charge.
I usually have my voice ringing tone set to mp3 and my alarm clock and all these file is on my internal memory (I don't have extra SD card). Every time I charge , the tone will return back to default meaning the internal SD card is undetectable. I cannot open any application that are installed on the card.
Can someone help me on how to solve this problem. Thanks.
goto settings/about phone/usb and change it to ASK and see if it helps
Its already on ask mode and what I'm using is USB charger adpator itself connected to outlet not the usb charging which is connected to pc. That's why it's messed up everytime I used the USB Charger.
I was able to browse my internal SD card until this morning. It may have been mounted at some point and the usb cable disconnected yesterday.
I have rebooted my phone several times. Rebooted my pc too. I tried switching the different usb connections methods.
I can see the external card and the motorola partition with the motohelper software from my computer.
From the phone itself I can see files on both sd cards, so it looks like my pc is not recognizing it anymore?
Maybe you put it in charge only mode and have to change it back to pc mode.

Having the same issue. Used to work, now zilch. Tried switching between charge only/mounting, restarting phone, checking device manager for an error, updating moto drivers.
It used to be that USB Debugging mode being on prevented the internal storage from mounting, but I have since turned it on/off and no luck still.
I can put it in PC mode, Windows Media Sync, or USB Mass Storage. From my computer I can see the external card and the motorola partition on the internal card containing the motohelper software.
I cannot see the internal phone storage where all the apps and pictures are stored.
i to have been having some isues with the sd and other things as well. not sure if its a rooted thing or just a bionic thing. i will try some different things in the morning. i would really like an sd flip flop .zip. it fixed alot of thing on the driod x2 .
For some reason my phone locked up on me today. It just shutdown and I was not able to restart it. It had a full charge. That's the first time for this phone. I reset the battery and it booted back up. When I got home I plugged it into my computer and I was able to see all partitions now.
I had previously shutdown the phone numerous times, but did not remove the battery until this afternoon.

Same here, any solutions to fix this? When I first got the Bionic I could see the internal storage also.
Try resetting the battery. I've done that a couple times since I got the phone.

That worked. Weird. Wonder if not doing a disconnect on the pc would cause this, usually I just unplug the phone.
I can see both just fine. One is called 'M' and the other is 'L'. USB Mass storage and they pop up. Windows 7.

What do you mean by resetting the battery? Just a pull, or wipe the stats?

It doesn't happen very often. I try to make sure that my usb connection is set to charge before I disconnect the phone from my computer.

This unfortunately didn't work for me. I've tried everything except for FXZing back to stock. It stopped working for me even before root/rom/etc...
I never just yanked it out, or improperly ejected it either. I'm really stumped and I'd like it back
Do you have CWM recovery and if so can you use the mounting options in there? I'm pretty sure there's a "mount USB storage" somewhere in the advanced menu or partitions or something.
I have the same issue with my bionic as well, i usually just pull the battery,restart the phone and switch it to USB Mass Storage click on "My Computer" icon and the internal and external show up (Windows 7), will this issue be addressed in the next update ? or is this a hardware issue ?
update : i connected my phone to my pc to check my internal storage, it wasn't there so i pulled the battery and restarted the phone, it worked fine, but then to check it again i switched to charge mode then back to usb mass and the internal wasn't there, looks like its only good for one try and then you have to pull the battery, sucks.

Very strange. I took some photos earlier during the day. When I got home, I connected my unrooted Galaxy Note to my Mac with USB debugging mode on and mounted the USB and SD card drives on my desktop. I copied the photos on to my desktop.
Next I ejected the two drives and disconnected the USB connection on my Note. I unplugged the USB cable and the usual "Media Scanning" started.
Normally, the "Media Scanning", "Preparing USB Storage" and "Preparing SD Card" notices would just run for a couple of seconds then your phone will be ready again.
This time though it just kept on running "Media Scanning" and got stuck at that point. I tried opening Gallery, but it would force close. Same thing with Camera.
I clicked on the My Files application and it sees all the contents of both the USB and SD card fine, but the "Media Scanning" thing doesn't want to stop.
Here are the steps I've tried:
1. Rebooted the phone.
2. Disabled USB debugging.
3. Unmounted the SD card, turned phone off, removed SD card. Put it back on.
4. Removed the battery for about five minutes.
5. Went to the "Gallery" application and cleared data.
No luck. Can anyone help me?
check it again, where it stucks exactly, during scanning pull down notification area n watch
System storage OR
USB storage OR
SD card
If it is SD card, remove SD card, scan with antivirus On PC, if not works try format it.
It seems to be stuck at "Media Scanning" and doesn't say if it's USB or SD. I tried connecting it again to my Mac and the two drives mount just fine.
If I copy and paste the contents of both to my Mac, format both drives, and paste the contents back to the phone, you think that would work?
Still i am suspecting Sd card error, have you try it removing Ext card ?
just remove ext Sd card n watch if error occurs or not
Yes I unmounted and ejected it and put it back on, no luck...
I mean to say you just remove SD card, n reboot device without Ext SD card.
Whats your capacity and SD card class? Mine's 8gb, class 4. I have lots of photos and at times when i transfer large files over (>1gb) and total used space is >4gb, my media will scan for at least 10 minutes, longest i'd have to wait was 30minutes.
Try leaving your phone untouched and battery more than 80% if possible because scanning would cause it to run at max clock freq and it drains battery pretty fast while getting hot at the same time. If you'd like, let it charge, altho it might be hotter.
Mine hit 48deg cel normally when this happens. Wanted to ask if anyone else experienced this?
Dead phone, not charging (via multiple chargers and usb), no battery symbol. Not detected via compute, currently charging battery via external charger and still no luck.
Hello, so here is what happened.
Running PA 1.6a (the most recent CM9-based release), stock kernel.
Tried setting up multiple programs to make a swap partition work.
Had class10 microsd and wanted to try a swap disc (stupid idea I know)
Used swapper 2 and formatted mmcblk03/ according to instructions elsewhere
Found out that error message "this feature is not implemented" meant that the stock kernel didn't support swap.
mmcblk03 was formatted a few times since the "format each time" feature was enabled.
A swap file was created/removed a few times.
So I proceeded to un-install swapper 2.
Then held power button, clicked "turn off", then "boot into recovery". Battery was at 9% according to display.
Phone did not turn back on.
Stupidest portion right here- phone was at 15% battery, drained to 9 during process- I knew better and deserve the brick if it happened.
Now phone is not booting (great).
If it matters, I had some apps which bind SD card directories running, mainly to remount the sd card under sdcard/external_sd so play music would recognize my music.
But now the note isn't booting, or charging, no detection via comp. Tried multiple adapters, tried charging via computer.I have not yet tried adb, Currently charging up the battery via external charger, but have had the battery in there for about an hour so far and still no luck (hoping it will give the battery enough 'juice' to charge via another charger.
I was using an anker battery, and I have had a somewhat similar situation before- battery drains 100% and then phone will not charge, need to use external charger.
Really upset right now, especially since I ordered a 150 dollar display to attempt to fix a crack in the screen a week ago. Any advice? I know JTAG is possible but I wonder if this is a true hard brick or something else (since the CM9 kernel supposedly does not suffer from the emmc_cap_erase bug). I know for sure I selected ext3 for formatting and created that partition using CWM recovery when I formatted the SD card (for clarity this was previously, when I first got the card).
Do you guys think this may be a physical issue with the power button or something else? The phone was working quite well before that for the entire day. Thoughts?
Bump- charged battery via external charger. still no response. a bit upset about all of this...
