Hello,
I have the stock CM 6.1.1 installed.
Yesterday after connecting the phone as usb drive, all my apps disappeared from the drawer and the icons on the homescreen aren't working anymore.
Do you know what this is and how to fix this?
Below a screen of the application menu.
Thanks,
shaab
Isn't it so that when connecting SD as USB storage the phone has to unmount sdcard and loses access to data on it. On USB drive disconnection phone should remount the card.
Have you tried a reboot?

Yes, it has to unmount / mount the card. I have access to the sd card from the file manager.
I rebootet and removed the sd but no change.

It's weird. Have you tried another app manager ? Have you check if they are still on your SD ?

If I click on an application in the system menu there is only a "move" button, but not a "move to ...".
When I click move it opens a window with "Move of the application failed. The application does not exist."
screens:
I think I found the problem.
I updated my Navigon maps from Q1 to Q3 with Navigon Fresh.
It seems that Fresh delete and replace the folder with the Apps...
I hope my Titanium Backup is not so long ago.

Hi there,
Anyone know a way to remount the sd card after it has been unmounted. I find the sd card becomes unmounted sometimes and other times I accidentally unmound the sd card in the settings. However I can't find anyway to remount the sd card other than resetting the phone. I was thinking that perhaps theres a command I can use in the terminal, perhaps someone more knowledgeable of linux could help me with this one. Cheers.
Alan
the command
mount sdcard
lets you access the sdcard through adb and Terminal if thats what you're after? From there you can just cd sdcard and do what you want.
using this still shows your sdcard as unavailable in settings though, and you still can't listen to music/view pictures.
edit: after using this on my phone i needed to actually turn the phone off and back on again to get the sdcard working. maybe not the best thing to use. ><
no its not terminal access of the sd car i was looking for. Occasionally I open an application on the phone and find the sd card is inaccessible because its been unmounted. I wasnted to find a quick way of remounting it so the phone sees it as available, without restarting the phone.
make sure your cover is all the way closed. That solved my unmounting problem.
Remounting SD Card
If you have it connected to your computer via USB, just drop down the system status bar at the top of the page and select the USB item. This will pop a message that gives you the option to "Mount" or "Don't Mount" your SD card.

omg look at the date?
im using cm6.0 rc1 right now
i would like to trans some thing to my n1
then i used usb to connect it to my pc
but i forgot all my apps were on sd card
then all apps wont work anymore,especially widgets。
anyone know how to fix this
thx
ps: sry for my bad english
Reboot. And widgets shouldn't be on SD card.
What are you trying to transfer to the card?
Just transfer over, if you have apps that are installed on the sd card via the menu/settings/applications, they'll reappear after you unplug the cable.
Or just go into Settings --> Applications --> Manage applications, select the "On SD Card" tab, and look for the widgets/applications you need access to while the phone is connected to your computer. Select each of those applications and hit the "Move to phone" button. You're golden!
as stated already, widgets and running services should not but saved onto SD card because once the SD card is removed or unmounted those apps arent there anymore. Remount SD card via notification bar and widgets should restore, if not then do a reboot and that should fix it.
My phone does not detect External SD card after update to Cyanogen 7.1.
When I click on the card from within Internal SD card it shows empty.
pls help!
thx
Look for the card in /mnt/emmc
its there and not under EXT_sd
why has this changed and how can i make it work with es file manager which is better?
have the same issue on a SGS2. it don't see my 16Gig SD card in es-file explorer.
When i connect to my PC via usb and turn on USB storage both the 16Gig and 11gig storage locations are accessible. but on the device i have to use File Manger and navigate to /mnt/emmc to view the files.
This sux what is going? is this normal or have i installed something wrong?

As said previously, you still need to look under /mnt/emmc in ES file manager
CM7.1 is Android, not Samsung.

I started custom ROM from CM9, everything went fine except that in CWM it won't detect my external SD.

that's normal for CM9 (i had the same problem, don't worry your sdcard is fine) just install "Rescan SD Card!" from the playstore or anorher file manager. it only happens the first time you flash CM9.
[Q] Media Scanner causing phone to continually reboot?
A weird issue manifested on my phone today ... the phone started, upon boot up, to spontaneously reboot. It would boot up within 30s, at which point I unlock it an pulldown the notifications screen (to see what was going on).
I saw several instances of "media scanner running" occurring - over the course of various trials I would see the following messages alternate on the top status bar.
Media scanner running... (system storage)
Media scanner running... (SD card)
Media scanner running.... (USB storage)
Media scanning completed
...while below in the notification areas I'd see the "Media scanning", "Media scanning...USB storage" etc messages periodically appear.
The phone would first lockup, then reboot perhaps 3 out of every 4 startups. Several of those times the last message I saw prior to the lockup was Media scanner running.... (USB storage).
I pulled out the 32FB Sandisk SD card, then tried booting the phone several times, and this time no issue - booted up fine, no lockups nor auto-reboots. Note though that I've had the SD card installed for over a year, and the problem only cropped up today.
Same problem on Samsung Galaxy Ace
I'm experiencing the exactly same problem on my rooted Samsung Galaxy Ace (Gingerbread 2.3.6).
Reboots with SD card mounted and working fine with SD card unmounted.
I'm using Link2SD with a 2nd ext2 partition, and when SD card is unmounted, all Linked apps work perfectly fine.
I've tried removing and re-inserting SD card and also recreating mount scripts to no use.
What might be the possible causes of this problem???
I can't afford formatting the SD card as yet, as I'm a little short on disk space. I've tried mounting the card on my PC and run chkdsk, but found no errors.
Is this problem related to Link2SD???
Please :fingers-crossed: tell me if there's any other solution other than killing my phone i.e. wiping all data.
PLEASE HELP :silly:

I really find this odd. When you link an app using Link2SD, all the app data is linked to ext partition of your SD card. If all went along right, then once you unmount your SD card, all linked apps shouldn't work anymore. This is because the ext partition is no longer available which contains the app data and files. I don't know why all of your linked app works fine. I completely agree with @aditya rathee. The problem could be with your SD card. Try to restart the phone with another working SD card and post the result.

In case I format my SD card, what happens to my 2nd ext2 partition?? What are my options for back up??

When you format your SD card, only the data in SD card is formatted while data in the ext2 partition is still left behind. If you want to format your ext2 partition, you can do that too. To do that, goto CWM Recoverymod, choose "mounts and storage">format /sdcard (To format just SD card data) and/or format /sd-ext (To format ext partition data). Use Titanium Backup app to take backup of all the installed app data. This data is backed-up to your SD card, so make sure to copy it to other storage media before you format your SD card. Once you have finished the backup, format both SD card and SD-ext, then copy the backup data back to SD card, reinstall Titanium Backup and Link2SD, run Link2SD to link your ext partition, and finally run Titanium Backup to restore all the previously installed app with data and link the apps back with Link2SD. Hope I helped
@mahithm, I formatted my SD card, but the problem is still there. I've ascertained the problem is with my memory card. I scanned it with my anti-virus, check for any disk errors and ran a surface test with Hard disk sentinal. No problems were identified.
One thing's for sure, the apps on my second partition are working fine even the one's who's apk+dex+data are linked.
If I unmount my SD card, the phone worked an whole day without issues. As soon I mounted it, Media Scanner starts and the phone reboots.
My post on the Link2SD thread hasn't got any responses.
I can access all content from my PC (on my FAT32 partition i.e.)
Please Help!

Can you try again with an another working SD Card? If the problem still persists, I suggest you reinstall this rom. BTW what rom are you using now? Sometimes accidently deleting a system file could cause such errors. If the problem is with your Link2SD, then I suggest using CronMod script to increase your internal memory. All it needs is a rooted phone and an ext partition. Before flashing the script from the CWM recoverymod, don't forget to format your ext partition. Here is the link,
CronMod-INT2EXT
Do post your result. Hope I Helped

1. A blank SD card doesn't bootloop.
2. My current SD card when formatted and blank doesn't reboot automatically.
3. When I delete .android_secure folder from SD card, phone works fine.
4. I don't think I deliberately deleted any system files.
5. I haven't changed the ROM. It's the stock ROM of Galaxy Ace.
6. Is it possible that some .asec is interfering with some system file
7. I have ruled out Link2SD as the cause, even deleting the app didn't make a difference.
Fully, this helps you to help he out further.
Thanks!

Can you try reinstalling the stock rom? Don't forget to Wipe data/ fatcory reset, Wipe cache partitions, Mount and Storage> Format /system, Wipe Dalvik cache and Wipe battery stats from CWM Recoverymod before you flash stock rom through odin. Also format both SDcard and ext partition. Use Titanium Backup to take backup of all the application data. Don't install Link2SD and lets see if the problem still persists. Do post the result. Hope I Helped
my card is a GSkill 32gb class 10. a bit ago i copied some movies to it, nearly to the brim. then the phone just went crazy and showed mounting and unmounting sd again and again. so i restarted it and then the phone said sd card corrupted, format it. plugging in the data cable didnt work so i used a card reader to plug the sd to pc. there it showed sd is full but the only files i could see was some game data files on android/obb folder and LOST something folder. i moved those files from the sd and plugged it to the phone again but still nothing. then in a forum i saw something
put your sd card into any phone which can be used as usb storage(exposes the sd as a drive in MS Windows).
I used Win 7.
Alternatively you could use any micro sd to sd adapter and then plug it in directly in your laptop/computer or n a card reader connected to the computer through USB.
Start command prompt with administrative privileges: Right click on desktop and choose new shortcut and type cmd at command line.Next right click the cmd icon and select Run as Administrator.
Type in the newly popped out window:
chkdsk <drive letter of the sd>: /r
Wait for the process to finish.
Remove sd and put it back into the phone.
Job done! ;0)

tried it,it said the file system is fixed but still its the same. sd is full but no files are visible. i CAN NOT loose my files in the sd. so please someone help me to recover them
Can the files be seen on the phone? Saying: use any file explorer to see if you can enter the external SD and its files.

card works now on the phone. windows checkdisk have backed up all the files to FOUND.000 and FOUND.001 folders. tried to recover from them but only the pictures are working, everything else is corrupted
If you want to check the card for errors then use this program it's an exe file that requires no installation basicly it will fill the card with data then empty it and report back on data lost/corrupted you would need a card reader as this won't work through a phone http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/H2testw.shtml

It is a PC program.. IF you install this you are able to fully check your Harddrives and SD card when mounted as MSC or as usb
