hello
i have a problem here. i have recently bought sony xperia t, i haven't rooted it or anything. it runs stock sony jelly bean. so the problem is that sometimes when i boot my phone, in the notification bar, it says preparing sd card - and it just doesn't go away (so i can't use my data, can't listen to music, watch photos etc.). and when that's up there, it slows down my phone and it starts lagging.
i have a 32 GB sd card, class 10, and i have 2 partitions on it - 1 is 27GB, normal for storage, the other one was for my previous phone (xperia mini), so that could move all apps to sd card
so i don't know if this effects something or not, but when i try to delete 2nd partition, the MiniTool Partition Wizard reports an error.
so please guys help, i have searched all over the internet and i haven't found anything, about mmy problem.
thank you all in advance
Make a copy of your files from sdcard to your PC first. Then wipe sdcard. Afterwards, put back all your files again.
I myself have class10 32GB sdcard with 2 partitions, 2GB ext4 and the rest fat32. Using link2sd app and so far no problem. I'm using Doomlord's custom kernel.

And if that doesn't help (previous post) try to put it in a other phone. If the same problem happens, your sd card is faulty. If it works, probably your sd reader from your phone is faulty. But first try a other micro sd. Try to eliminate possible causes.

OK i've copied all the files form SD card on my computer (deleted them from SD card) and then copied back to SD card only the files i needed (eg. music, photos etc. wthout app folders and backups i had on my previous phone (xperia mini)), then i put the SD card back into my phone and at first it didn't work, but then i restarted my phone and it works as it should work.
thank you for your help

So far i have been using default 2GB SD that comes with the phone, with ext2 partition (512MB size) for app2sd. Everything was working fine, i would change ROMS, install apps, all ok.
Recently i bought a 4GB class 4 sd, partitioned again an ext2 same size, but i notice that apps randomly crash, sometimes the phone fails to boot and many times when i try to install ROMS, at xrecovery it says that the zip file is "bad"
Has anyone experience any kind of weird behavior with a new SD?
well that happened to me just format it
Recently switched from default 2 gigs to 8 gigs microSd, but no problems. I do have it whole formatted as fat32 though.
Use 2.3.5 roms that have native app2sd and no need to create additional ext partition.
Backup it, format from phone, upload data back.
HAVE to work. If not - your new card is broken.
Format with your phone...before that,backup your SD card fisrt.

Whenever i Install an gingerbread or cm7 Rom 2.3.7 on my x8,
after it the sd card in the phone is protected against writing, only reading.
The phone dont see the SD card anymore , and on my pc it see the card in my cardreader but i cant copy and paste things from it.
When i directly connect the phone with the sd card in it to my pc via usb, the pc dont see the sd card also.
Then when i flash back to the original Rom, the SD card is back normal like writing and reading and my phone sees the card.
Also i can Copy and paste like normal.
When i flash to froyo pro 24 (2.2.9 android) the phone also see the card like normal.
Looks to me something in 2.3 android versions mess with my SD card and set it on read only...
Does someone know what this could be?
Thnx in advance,
Henk
what sd card do you have? did you try format it?
It is the standard 4gb card that was in the box from the x8.
I install the roms via this sdcard.
I also formatted it but that did not solve the problem.
there is no ''lock''on the card, and after i flash it back to the original stock rom with flashtool it shows the card with no write or read protection.
In android 1.6 ,2.1 and 2.2 till version 2.2.9 i dont have the sd card issues.
I checked mini cm shakira,
herodroid
gx stock
prime hd and 2 other roms based on android 2.3.
Some i reinstalled and full wiped after the installation but that made no difference.
(offcourse i always full wipe/factory before installing the Roms )
In''storage settings it always say:
-total space
unavailable
-Available space
unavailable
-mount Sd card
Insert a sd card for mounting
-erase Sd card
erases all data on the phone Sd card such as music and photos.
(This is the only option that is highlighted and usable, and it erases only files when i tested it, it dont format the card)
I also tried to unlock the read only protection to place the mini sd card in the cardreader but i can't find an option to unlock that protection.
It only shows the files on the card but i cant copy and paste something.
(Both in windows7 and windows xp)
Some of them are on Stock kernel and the mini cm7 on an naa kernel.
(problem with the naa kernel was that i could not update the fix after flashing the rom in xrecovery,
since right after the flash from my sd card to mm7 my sdcard was on read only and write protected........had to reinstall the stock version by flashtool again and install xrecovery again and busybox,rooting, to start after with the flashing of custom roms again.
All of them did something with the sd card that it is read only when i place it in my sd card reader on pc ,and its not visible on the phone.
With some roms i can access the sd card via cwm or xrecovery to flash an rom zip but sometimes it says it cant mount''e'',
which is my sd card.
After i flashed my phone back to stock rom via flashtool, the sd card is visible again on the phone and not read or write protected.
Also on froyo pro 24(android 2.2) i dont have this sd card problem.
Could it be that there is some kind of driver for my sd card so that my phone reconize the sd card?
I really don't know what this issue could be and im stucked on 2.2 now.
you're using 2nd ext partition?
if yes, trying to solve it and boot via cwm and format it using partition sdcard (advance > partition sdcard) you need to backup your data first
if not using 2nd ext partition, try format using this http://hard-disk-low-level-format-tool.software.informer.com/ but i'm not test it yet
maybe u must check and repair your sdcard
1. try with another sdcard
2. make sure if your sdcard format is FAT
or
3. backup your sdcard data to your pc, then format it!
it must be work
Your idea doesnt work

Maybe the ROM doesnt have the necessary drivers. Any idea on how to install them?
Go to following directory via a root explorer app:
Root/system /bin
Find this file:
Fsck_msdos
Delete & Replace with froyopro's disk checker.(same file in froyopro rom)
Yes,this is the file which scan & fix ur sdcard For errors in startup.
This must help u.

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?
LT4 rom, philz kernel.
When I updated from stock ICS to stock JB, I always remove the ext SD card & SIM.
I didn't notice anything after the update until I went to use the camera, which complained about inserting an SD card.
switching it back to phone storage fixed that, but, I started checking. Root file explorer shows the card, but when you
access it, it shows NO files. When I connect it to the computer, the ext & int both show up, and when I access the ext,
all files are there. I can move programs from internal storage to external storage.
The only thing that seems to be amiss is the camera & phone file browsers.
Did a few searches, not really finding an answer. Tried unmounting, remounting, power off with the SD card, pull the SD card, reboot,
power off, reinsert SD card reboot, no luck. Tried mounting/unmounting in root file explorer.
Tried changing from media device to mass storage, still no luck.
Back up files, format within the phone and try it again??
TIA

When I stick the card into my computer, all the files show up. Perhaps Android places or formats in a different
way than Winx, and it does need to be formatted again. Funny thing though, it JUST does that with the camera.
I have most of my apps located on the ext SD card, they all work perfectly. I just use the phone to store, then transfer
them to the SD if I need to.
Thanks for responding.
I had a problem with external sd card.
Phone could not handle the card or format and the same in windows and ubuntu.
So it look the card is dead and I wanted t throw the card away.
But it was not dead in my case , I put the card in my digital camera and format the card.
Now my phone windows and ubunto see the card and can handle it as a new card.

Hi,
I have been using both stock, CM builds and other after market roms from my xperia x10 mini pro days. Now, I own an xperia mini pro and xperia z. I have installed various kitkat aftermarket roms on my xperia z. I installed the latest cm11, From here I could not change any contents on my SD card. Within the phone I cannot copy to or delete from the sd card. I tried all file managers including the ones with root permissions. I removed the sd card and tried direct copying. The fun is copying will be succesful. But once I unmount and remount the card, the contets wouldnt have changed. I try to format the card. It will get formatted but once I unmount and remount all the previous contents are intact. I the flashed back 4.3. There again the issue persisted.
I had the same issue with my xperia mini pro and cm11. Since then this is my second sd card(32 gb on mini pro and 64 gb on xperia z). I know there are certain issues with kitkat and sd cards. Can anybody please throw some light on resolving this issue. I am a rom hopper and I dont like to be cornered with these issues.
But strangely, I never had any issues with pabx's build.

You should ask in that specific thread of the rom you're using instead of here.
I think this is a generic issue
I think this is a generic issue. It eminates from the point that the majority of the after market roms are using bits from the CM project, Thanx for the reply. What I want to know here is does kitkat do anything to the sd card which cannot be washed away after even attempting a format?

Did you try to format the sd card with your pc? Does the pc even recognize it correctly?
If you have problems while on a stock rom, then I suggest that you backup your data, then format the SD card with the SD Association tool - https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/
If possible, you should do this via a card reader/slot and not while it's in the phone.
If you still have problems, then your card may be faulty.

Yes, the format was tried on pc
The format operation was tried both on windows and Arch Gnu/Linux. I can add or delete a file. But after remount, the changes are gone. It is like I am having a write once DVD.
sorry for resurrecting this thread but has anyone found a way to fix the issue?
Just like the others, I encountered the problem after I downgraded from Kitkat to Jellybean. I have tried formatting my 64Gb Transcend micro SD card using various softwares. Some fail to format midway. Some indicate that it has been successfully formatted but upon checking, the contents are not removed.
Due to a policy change in Kitkat it is, for most apps, not allowed to change the content on the SD card. To fix this, root the device and install de SDFix from the play store.

Do I have to root it using Jellybean or Kitkat?
