i had a problem with my sd card before, then, the memory was dissapearing. I got a new sd card. it was ok for a dew weeks, but now, i cant download anything or even move any file from my pc using usb, even when there is some memory left ! when i move a song into sd card, it stays there until I unplug usb, then it just disappars. Sometimes i cant listen to songs, see pictures or use some apps in sd card because they disappears, but most of the time it fixes after reboot.
any soliutions for this kind of problem ?
I dony really know about that. It may be rom issue. Some said that u must have some free space on sd card, u cant fully fill your sd card.

Hi xdo,
Can you give us info what rom and kernel you use?
In my assumption maybe your card is damage.
Please clarify some things for better assistance
rom I'm using is Froyobread v023b, but i used it about 4 month without any problems, kernel I'm using is stock one, I never unlocked bootloader. I dont think that the sd cart is demaged because it is almost like new. Today, remounted the card, rebooted my phone and i was able to download some pictures to my phone, but after a few mins i wasn't able to do anything again.
Did you formated it ?
Sent from my X8 running nAa and D_d piece of art called MiniCM9.
yes, i formated it before using. then, i moved everything from my last sd to the new one
try wipe it with partition wizard if it help...
Virus maybe?
You say you copied all your files from the old to the new. maybe the old had a particularly vicious virus and you copied it to your new card?
if there is a virus, what should I do?

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.

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.

mayb u got a corrupt sd card?
open file explorer in the phone and look if there is something on the card. if you see all your folders and files, try to reboot your phone or install this from the maket.
if you don't see the files on your sd card, try to format the card from the settings in phone, not with pc
hope this will help you
crap...my sd card was also damaged ..it says sd card is damaged please format it...my heart broke ..4gb worth of pics , songs , videos GONE
there might be 2 solutions that I know:
1) Sdcard or the files may be corrupted. - Try to format the sdcard and put just one picture(a picture that you can view without any problems on pc) and see if you can view it.
2)nomedia - make sure there isn't any ".nomedia" file in the root of sd card or check in the folders where your music is store.
HOPE THAT HELPS

You can try formatting your SD card from your computer, maybe it helps.
Use the pc. There 2 types of format. FAT AND ntfs. Have you tried both? Also try quick and the regular one.

Ok...after ALOT of experimenting i finally pin pointed the prob....i used this app called Rescan Media Root...they say that every boot is slow because yr phone is scanning all the media files (Media Scan)...if you disable it, it'll speed up boot time ! But what happens in my case is it disabled the scanning, forever...so it never bothered to scan the sd card for my media files :S...after i reenabled it, it worked !

Try some free data recovery software. Google it, and use a card reader on your PC to help, but it does not look good.
Thanks for your reply.
Ive actually did that and got trolled by this program. After scanning all the files, it asked me to purchase the program in order to get the files back. I got fed up and reformatted the sd card and start from scratch.
Right now I'm facing one issue. After putting stuff back into the sd card, I unplugged it and the sd card un mounted itself. I pulled it out and plug it back in with restart and all and the phone still cant read it.
Is it the sd card problem or my phone?
Or what else should I do?
Thanks on advance.

There are plenty of good free ones that dont do that, however, if you have now formatted the card all the information is lost.
Which format did you format it too? Make sure its FAT or EXT2, 3 or 4. The best bet is to format it in recovery.
I knew it would be a problem if I reformat it, but I was really fed up certain programs like those. I didn't want to waste time so I chose to reformat it.
My first attempt with FAT didn't work, and tried the others as well.
This morning I reformatted and stick it into the phone and erased every thing on the sd through the phone again. And now it seems to work fine.
Somehow the first few tries the phone reformatted the sd even when I did it through the computer already.
Anyway, thanks alot buddy
Hello people on XDA.
I have a little problem here regarding installing custom rom on my littlesisters Xperia X8.
In order to do anything, I need to be able to browse the SD card.
I've downloaded File Manager from Android Market and I'm able to see the content from the SD card on the PHONE.
When I connect the phone to my PC with USB (PC Comparion installed) i get a new device called Phone Card - everything seems good... at least for now. 2GB card, allright. 127mb space left. Allright.
I open the SD Card.. and there's only a tons of SHORTCUTS.. and I can't open these. I'm not near of browsning the same SD card as I am on the phone. What the hell is wrong? No DCIM folder, which is basically the only folder I need to backup for her before flashing.
TL;DR: I can browse the SD card on the phone when not connected with USB, when connected the phone can't find the SD card nor can I browse the SD card on the PC cause it doesn't show the same content.
Any help will be appreciated.. been googling for hours!!
Thanks
Daniel
Try the sd card with a card reader or another phone and see if its ok.
If not, format it(you will lose the cotent,sorry but I don't see any other way)
If it is ok(I think it will be ok,because at the phone it doesn't have any problem) then backup what you want and format it,if you don't want to format it then just put what you need to install a custom rom and put the sd back to x8
It sounds like a PC virus .

If you don't find other solution, put the card in an adaptor and just copy them to the PC.
Have you by chance deleted a folder called external SD from your memory card, coz it formats your sd card. Try recovering files from sd card through connecting it via some other usb card reader.
there are programs, that can save the photos even if you format a disk or in this case a sd card...
let me find one for you,,,, don't know if it works...read in here...
http://www.easeus.com/resource/sd-card-format-recovery.htm.
of course there must be other programs better and free, I really don't know if this easeus is of any good...
never tried...
you must have a sd card reader in your pc of course...
thx guys
i tried to use other adapter and i find no change as i still can not found the sd card via pc.
i sure that i have not delete the file of external SD, it keep showing Blank SD on my 4x.
i am really frustrated about that...:crying:
Maybe sdcard got corrupted. Try formating the card from your phone if it gives you the option. I dont think this will be repeated.
sad..
in fact i dun care about do the sd card can function after all.
i just wonder can i get back my file:crying::crying:

may be your sd card has corrupted or it is fake, how long are you using it?
once i bought a fake 16gb card it worked good for few days and then the same situation as you are in. and i found no solution to recovery my files as it becomes strange, files are there but you can't use them anymore, can't delete them or copy them.
try using some partition manager after inserting your card into your pc and check if your card is there, and it's status.
if your card is fake, i have no solution,
if it's corrupted, it can be brought back to life by formatting or using other partition recovery tools i think.
i dun know whether it is fake or not, but i have used it for around half a year already.
i dun care whether it can come alive i just want to get back my data.
today i have send the sd card to a engineer, he said he fix it but it cost a large amount of money and i am not able to afford it.
and then he recover the sd card to the original situation.
it means that there must be a solution for it.
can anyone help:crying:
i had the same problem too. my 32GB went on and off after i dropped it from 1 meter high.
i used these two recover as much as my files as possible.
