I formatted both internal and external cards and flashed a clean rom because the sd cards were full of crap and clutter but now when i try to use a file explorer it says '''SD CARD UNMOUNTED OR NOT PRESENT'''
I know its off formating the internal but what will make it recognise it again?

Have the same problem every noe and then. I wiped it a couple of times and it seems fine now.

Every other time I boot
I have this exactly every other time I boot. Always need to reboot twice in order to keep my SD Card working. No joke - had the same issue with two different cards.
the way i fixed it was to clear the data/cach in the manage applications on the es file manager or what ever file manager ur using

My Internal Sd card umounts from time to time by itself so i have to mount it again, did start on last firmware i flashed. Anyone else has notice this?
Only time it has done that for me is when I have copied photo's/video's to the internal card and it re-mounts the card to run media scanner.
I haven't had this issue. As the above poster mentions i can see it doign a media scan once i unmounted the internal sd card from a mass storage function when it was connected to my PC
No such problem for me, everything works fine on jg1 with mcr r2

I saw mine doing this Unmount/Remount thing last night, and I'm running stock ROM (too lazy (or scared?)) to do the rooting/flashing jump
No problem with that here...
Have you wiped you device after flashing the rom?

I have to reset my phone about 15-20 time a day because my SD card disappears. By itself. All the time.
Can anyone tell me a) WHY this happens and b) HOW to stop it ?
I have a 32 gb external. The phone is relatively untouched (vanilla with Root that's all I've done to it)
But it really bothers me because I have to reset my phone just to take pictures/video's etc. It's always unavailable. Both my internal and external card.
How the hell do I stop it from disappearing ? What is the cause ?
Wow, that seems VERY ODD. eh. Did you format the card using your phone? if not I recommend you do it. settings/sd card and phone settings/unmount external sd card then FORMAT. I know there could be some bugs if you format using a PC. If that does not help then MAYBE you have a fake 32gig card? or worst of all your phone's hardware might be at fault then you will need to return it. Other then that I guess you will need to google "32gig SD samsung galaxy S problem"
Does this happen with stock f/w and without external sd? if yes u probably want to visit the service centre, if not its some problem with your rom / root / 32g card... ? Also, is the ext sd mounted under settings > sd ?
But how are these related to android dev...??
I know this thread will be disappearing to the general forum
I'd try letting the phone reformat the card, throw some files and double check it with the phone. maybe your card's a fake and can't really hold that much, so it craps out? that's all I can think of.
Try another card to see if the issue is the phone or the card.
Also check the contacts on the card and the slot for dirt or bent pins, wipe with a micofiber cloth to remove any fat or other residue.

Dude, what widgets do you have installed?
I know you say it's vanilla, but an app can do this when it refreshes.

I had this happen when I used the "partition SD card" option in ROM Manager. It killed the SD card and made my internal memory unreadable. I formatted the dead sd on my pc and that worked for a bit but then it couldn't read it again. I did a complete data wipe and that seems to have worked for the internal memory. Now I'm using a new sd card. What's weird is that the SD that phone refuses to read, my GF's phone recognizes it...
yesterday i had similar issues. dont know if they are gone.
i couldnt play music - "cant play the codec" error msg - it was the sd card, but only the external.

I have a problem with my scandisk 4gb sd card
Every time the phone access the card, like when downloading, watching a pic, browsing through file browser ect. It afterwards fail to read the card, and says "no files" until I reboot. In other words, the card can only be accessed one time pr boot
I've tried to reformat the card fat32 32kilobyte without any changes.
Any ideas whats wrong?

Have you tried to simply remove it from the slot and insert it again?
You can also try the app "SD Speed Increase" and set the cache to 4096kb (allowing the program to set it at the startup) and see if the card goes better...
I think that this problem appears when two or more programs try to access the SD or the phone requests information too fast. Is there a way (i speak to the developers) to reduce the accesses to the SD?
Yes, unmount/mount is as good as reboot.
I've just tried the app and it makes no difference :-(
The card works just fine on the computer, and I've tried the card in 3 phones and doesn't work on either of them. Its there different micro sdcards where only one type works on the phone?

Additional info.
With the sd speed app, the card is available a bit longer, it's now possible to download or delete two files before the error occurs.
I've tested the card in a 2.1 stock ROM and it works perfectly

It also work just fine on 2.2 stock rom
Hi, guys!
I am having a little problem with my X8. Some time ago I wanted to increase de RAM memory on my phone so I decided to use SWAP. I partitioned my SD Card (with "ext 4" option) and flashed a file called "x8EnableSwapPartition".
BUT... in adition of not having more RAM, I am also having problems with the phone's performance. It's getting slower and slower, even with a low number of apps, and I can't open some apps like Calculator, Google Play, etc...
And also another problem, the phone is constantly saying that I don't have internal space, in spite of the information in "storage" says that I have a lot of space.
Is there anyway to unflash this file and delete the SD Card partition? I tried to format the SD Card through windows and it didn't solved the problem.
Any help please?
Thanks in advance!
Use minitool partition wizard to delete the partition (much better if you have a SD card reader).
If you know where is the file that you flashed, simply detele it using a root file explorer. If not, perform a full wipe through the recovery (this is the best solution).

What I did was format the card in the settings menu of the rom. I then plugged it into my PC and it said the card needs to be formatted because its corrupted. Then the partition was gone

Hi,
Initially when i bought my GT-I9305, the microSD card was writable with all apps (e.g. file managers, titanium backup) on the phone. However, sometime in the last few days the card has become read-only on the phone.
When I use an SD card adapter and put it into my laptop though, it works fine and I can move files around.
Anyone have any ideas what might be causing this or how to fix it?
Thanks!
Have you tried to install any vrthemes on the phone that is using the sd card to apply the theme, so you may have two folders one vrtheme and the other vrtheme-backup which one or both wont be able to be deleted.
I had the same problem caused by vrthemes being applied mainly in an aroma setup if the theme failed to install correctly or not enough free space to apply it seemed to cause this(for me anyway)
Only thing I could do was to copy all files I wanted to the computer then format the sd card then copy everything back. This is a pain with 32gb of data on the card

Thanks! That worked for me, I also had the vrtheme and vrtheme-backup folders on my card. I tried deleting them by themselves from my computer but it did nothing. Formatting it worked though
