I have about 100 APPs moved to SD. Worked fine until I upgraded to GB. Now my phone stuck in a definite soft reboot if I put the SD card in. I can't even move a single APPs back to phone. Is it possible that I can still copy those APPs back to phone through computer? Thanks in advance.

Probably easier to flash back to kb2 (rooted) and move them back to the phone. Then, do the upgrade again. To use a computer to move them, you would need to be rooted to use adb to push them back to the phone.
easy.
download titanium backup. open it. press menu > batch > move all apps to internal storage. select all. then run batch.
done.
or go to android system menu > applications > manage apps > apps on SD > select each one with a checkmark. and push the button for move to internal. (takes a while)
Need root for Tibu. No mention of root status by op.
What happens if you insert sd after phone has booted up?
Thanks, guys. My phone was rooted before GB upgrade and rooted again afterwards. I also installed TiBackup this afternoon. The only problem is I never have any time to move a single APP back to phone before it reboots again. I tried both TB and setting without any luck. Looks like nothing you can do before the phone finishes media scanning, but the phone will reboot before or right after the scan. Insert the SD card after the phone finishes booting results the samething.

You can use adb to push them to your phone.

I guess that's the only way in my case. But I know nothing about the adb pushing . Could you please give me a link showing the detail procedure?

The guide >>HERE<< will help you out with all of your adb needs. It's not as intimidating as it looks, just go through it slowly. Honestly, I think it woulod be easier to flash back to KB2 (rooted) and do it there, then go back to GB.
I am experiencing the same thing as you but on a Galaxy S2. I have tried a bazillion things to try and figure out what has been going on too. I am curious though, what does your phone do with a completely blank SD card?
I have a list of things I have tried and I have definitely found that it is related to the SD card in the phone. My phone also gets far hotter than normal when the rebooting starts to happen.
Just deleted all the files in .android_secure folder on computer. Worked fine now without reboot for half an our.

Copied 20 back to SD. Put it onto the phone, no reboot. Moved back to phone. Will move more back.

Keeping a few them on SD still has issue, random shutdown, especially at night. Moving all of them back to phone led to 'phone storage space is getting low' error. WTF. I need to get rid of whole bunch of junks.

I recently have experienced the same problem and I spent nearly 3 days to get my phone back to work.
The issue is probably caused by broken app file on SD card.
I'm sure there's one way to replay the issue: get more than 100 apps on SD card, then use Titanium Backup to move all apps from internal storage to SD card, before it finishes (near the end) force close Titanium Backup. On next boot, Android won't be able to load all apps on SD card anymore.
My solution was:
Connect the sd card onto a computer using a card reader. Go to .android_secure folder, then sort by modifying date. Delete few latest apps then put the SD back to your phone but you have to re-install the apps which you deleted.
Good luck!
If you use apps to ext, you can just restore your nandroid...

Thanks! I did what you said only I deleted all the apps in the android secure folder to be sure. And so far is working well for a couple of days. Thank you again.

Since the first time I flashed my phone, I've always had this folder named "lost.dir" which I can't seem to get rid of even after deleting it, it still reappears after I reboot the phone. Any help on how to make it disappear.

This folder is generated by default. This will contain any corrupted files that you may have on Internal and external SD cards. This should be quite harmless. It usually gets created when you reboot your phone or you remove the phone from USB storage mode.
Sorry for not answering the question to the point. But you can safely ignore it.
As the above poster said ,it is always there it cannot be deleted, but you can and should delete any files on however.
If the files keep appering after a reboot that means you may have problems with your filesystem, the most common cause of files inside that folder is when you remove or don't unmount the cards before unplugin them.
When the phone boots it checks the file system, if it finds any corrupted file they get moved to that folder,thin of it as Chkdsk for windows.
Thank u both. I've learnt that today. Cheers

Note: This is a long one, theres a tl;dr at the bottom of the page.
So, yesterday I bought the XDA Premium app from the market. I installed it, used it for a few hours, rebooted my phone, tried to open it back up, "Failed to load activity" error or something along those lines.
So then I looked it up on the market, it wasn't recognizing that it was installed, so I reinstalled it again. Used for a few hours. Rebooted my phone, same issue. This has happened a few times.
So I figured maybe some data was corrupt. So I installed it from the market, uninstalled it, tried to reinstall it again and it said not enough storage space on my phone. I looked and I have 2.77GB free space on internal storage.
So I figured I'd move some apps to the SD card anyways. Started moving all apps from my phone to SD using the App2SD app (Which I think just redirects to the application's page in settings). Everything seemed to work fine.
Rebooted my phone, and some icons on my screens in LauncherPro didn't load. Tried opening several of them.. all of them "failed to load activity". I'm talking about at least a dozen different programs here that had somehow gotten corrupted? Rebooted again, they didn't come back. Reinstalled a few of them and rebooted and one still wouldn't open.
So I'm restoring from a CWM backup I did just before I went to bed last night. Any opinions on what might have gone wrong or what I could do differently? Is 2.77gb reserved space for texts/cache/etc or was the "not enough storage" error incorrect?
tl;dr: xda premium was corrupting/wouldn't install because I *only* had 2.77gb free internal storage? Tried moving things with app2sd and many, but not all, corrupted after a reboot. Rebooted a second time, didn't solve any issues.
Don't use apps2sd with this phone. Go to settings, applications, media area, click on everything with a check mark, move to phone. This will solve your problem.

So, as I mentioned above, I performed a recovery using an image I had created in CWM late last night.
Just for kicks I tried moving a single app to SD to see what happens.. Google+ went from 28mb on internal memory, to 8mb on SD. Restarted, it was corrupted and not even showing up in application list.
So whats the deal with our phones? They can't move anything to SD card without corrupting? Hopefully this is patched as I appear to be hitting the artificial 2.77gb cap on apps?
So.. my experiment with JUST moving Google+ to SD failed more miserably than I originally thought. Not only did G+ corrupt as I mentioned above, but my phone also started freezing again and VNC Viewer also corrupted itself.
So I had to perform a second recovery on my phone this morning. Ugh. Having way too many issues with this phone considering I only bought it maybe 2 weeks ago.
One more update.. hope someone can help me with this.
So I performed a recovery with CWM. Since then I have not done ANY App2SD attempts or anything. This is a recovery from before I ever did any of that.
Now, whenever I uninstall any app, when I reboot my phone several apps will corrupt. These are apps that I had used App2SD on before I had done the recovery. Its like, when I uninstall an app it finds some data from prior to the recovery and that corrupts the app...
Any way to fix this? I looked at my SD card and the only data on there is Titanium Backup data, CWM backup data, and a few zip files that I had put on there. I told ES File Manager to show hidden files and there is nothing on my SD that I see that could be making Android corrupt these files...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.. I'm starting to thing I'm going to have to do a fastboot recovery to completely stock and start over again..
If you restored a recovery, wasn't that recovery with apps2sd as well? Does that make sense?

Here, I'll lay it out a bit more clearly:
1) Midnight last night I performed a backup with CWM. Everything was working fine, I hadn't done any changes or App2SD things yet.
2) Woke up at 10AM today and this was when all of the issues covered in this thread started. After 10AM today was when I first attempted to use App2SD Pro to move apps around.
3) I recovered using the recovery from part 1 of this message
4) I'm still having issues with programs corrupting even though I'm using an image from Midnight yesterday.
How can I completely wipe my phone then restore with Fastboot? Wipe SD, internal, everything.

So it appears I fixed my problem.. even though I have run two complete restores using a backup from prior to my issues, some apps were still set to go on my SD card. So I guess a CWM backup doesn't store all file system data.

Also some apps try to load on SD card watch out amazon apps. I've put 300plus sized various apps on my phone and didn't crack 2gb. And really 200apps or more your not going to have time for them.

Yea, the XDA Developers app tries to load on the SD card by default. That was the entire root problem that caused all the above posts...
Hopefully Motorola fixes this SD card issue in the next patch.
So I was getting ready to flash a new rom, and decided to delete some un-needed files off my sdcard. Well i guesed it was a slip of hand, but somehow everything on my sd card got deleted.
I'm worried, is my Safestrap still usable?! My phone didnt crash or anything, but i'm too afraid to reboot incase safestrap cant launch and it bricks or something. Does any critical safestrap data get installed on the sdcard?! I checked the safestrap app (3.11) and it said I was installed, and I hit installed again just to be sure.
Am I safe? (no pun intended)
Safestrap does not store any files on your micro SD card. You're totally fine to reboot the system, or reboot to recovery. Sorry to hear about your SD card :/
Pull the card, put it in a laptop, use handy recovery. Its free and found all my files when I did the same thing.

I recently rooted my phone using the Chinese vroot tool and then installed SuperSU to remove the Chinese su. After that I installed busybox, pimp my rom, system cleaner and no bloat free to remove all the crap Samsung put on this phone. Now think I might have gone a bit overboard with my cleaning... The problem I have is that i can take a few photos, then close the app, re-open the photo app and then if I try to take a photo it won't save it to the sd card until I unmount and remount the sd card. Any ideas what could be causing this?
Thanks for your help

The problem is more complicated than i thought. The phone recognizes the extrenal SD but only in read-only mode. I can only briefly write to it before it gets back at read-only mode
I reflashed the stock firmware with Odin but the problem is still there.
It goes so far that if I connect the phone to my PC with USB the external SD Card is found but it doesn't show any folders or files when I select it.
And after a little further investigation I found that I can take pictures as normal (save to external SD) untill i open the file explorer, then the external SD card only gets read-only!! Frustrating!
Update: looks like the sd card itself is the problem. I put in a different one and everything seems normal.
I'll try to do a chkdsk on the old one.
It was a corrupted file system. Fixed it and everything is back to normal.
