I have a problem opening the file manager and the music app. I get the 'Unfortunately, the file manager/music has stopped.' Also when i open the gallery, it sais its empty when i got pictures.
Some info about my problem:
~This all started when i took my ext. micro sd card 16gb and put it in my old phone ( sony ericsson: aino )
~When i unmount, or remove the sd card the problem goes away.
~ I 've tried clearing cashe and data of almost every single app , plus i deleted the contents of my ext. sd card no change
~Also i sometimes get the 'Unfortunately, Google+ has stopped.' message. Don't know if it's related, though i never got it before.
Any help would be much appreciated.
I would suggest formatting your external SD card. Not sure if it will help, but if it started happening after having put itin another device, I guess that's your best shot.
As for the Google+ FC, I got that myself too every once in a while when I was on stock, so I guess it's unrelated.

I'm thinking that I may have a bad SD card in my N1.
Current setup:
[email protected] [v2.8] MCR r19 MOD [FRF83]
Old style A2SD+
After a little while, in this case an hour or so, any app that is installed/moved to the SD card become inaccessible. The OS sees the app, sort of. Most of the time the link to an app disappears all together. Sometime there will still be a link to an app, but when I try to launch it, it says the app is no longer installed. I'll go into the app manager(settings, application, manage) and apps that were installed/moved to the SD card just show a generic SD card icon and I can't get any info for the app. I try restarting/force stopping the launcher (both LauncherPro and ADW) and sometime the apps will show up again and will work, sometime the icon will show but will not launch, and sometime the app are still gone. And eventually, I will not be able to see the SD card when hooked to my computer. On the flip side though, if I boot into recovery(RA 1.0.7), I can turn on USB-MS Toggle and I can copy to and from the SD card all I want.
I just a full wipe(factory reset, cache, dalvik, ext, battery, rotate) because I was having these problems before, and I was using the regular Froyo A2SD before, so I decided to us the old style A2SD+ this time to see if that fixed the problem, but it's still happening.
Again, I'm thinking bad SD card, but I'd like some other opinions/ideas/confirmations.
So no one has any thoughts on this?
all of a sudden when i try to backup my contacts to SD Card from the contacts app the only options showing are for the sim card, it does not show any option for the SD Card .......was working fine before.
The SD Card otherwise is fine, every other app can see it and i can mount it on my desktop.
Any ideas pls!
(pls don't just suggest google sync because i always have problems with it so don't use it, .....i like to be able to backup my contacts to a physical file that i can transfer off my phone)
thanks
[JS3 with voodoo 5.4.1]
and anyone know which file exactly holds the contacts data in titanium backup?
well if anyone was interested (which is doesn't look like) i have determined that it is a bug with JS3 .....a pretty big bug if you ask me, which might explain why JS2 came out a day later
Hello guys. I really need to solve this annoying problem.
So here's what's going on. I have app2sd pro. I used it to move all of my movable apps to the internal sd card. It's 11gb and has 1.84 gb free.
So idk how but sd card keeps getting filled. But that's another problem. (if you know how to solve it please tell me. )
The main problem is. All of the apps on sd card somehow decide to disappear from app drawer.
Even when I search for them they don't come up. So I go to app2sd and here's what I find on sd card tab: "no movable applications found from the storage" wth does that mean?
Anyways i decide to restart and all apps come back. But within 1-2 hours all of them disappear again. Help!!!
Thanks!

See the attached image.
I was using my phone last night, browsing reddit when a phone call came in. I answered it, did what needed to be done on the call then hungup. I went back to reddit when it asked me to login again; something it rarely ever did as "Reddit Is Fun Golden Platinum" remembers your account info.
A message came in shortly after, to which I wanted to respond with one of the many animated GIFs I keep on my microSD card. I went to the attach image in hangouts and bam, no GIFs. I thought maybe the phone was messing up, so I restarted it. The phone started back up, and still no GIFs or any media on the mSD card. I went into ES File Explorer and it said I had 1.79MB used of my 64GB card.
Previous to that I had about 10GB of music, 2GB of video clips from YouTube and about 500MB of GIFs, among some other random APKs from XDA and other places. Everything on my device was purchased via Play, or xfered onto the SD card after downloading from XDA from the developer (meaning I didn't pirate anything!)
I used a file recovery tool to try and recover some of the items from the card this morning, and well, look at the image. What happened? Why did it format the card, and then overwrite it with some random file?
Notes about my Z1:
Stock, Rooted but unmodified .534 (Android 4.2.2)
No special launchers
Recent installs were Vignette Pro, and Tasker, both from Play Store
This kind of stuff can do only a virus or a corrupted SD. The reasons of why this happen can be many. System Partition Failure of your memory can be one of the reason so if you lost everything you can't do nothing about it. Format your SD in Normal Mode, not Quick. All the application which you paid for it will be downloaded again when you log into Play Store with the account which you purchase them. If this happen again can be a faulty device too.
..or faulty memory SD.
Since moving to the Note 9 I have been having issues with Google Photos backing up to my Google account. It has been working perfectly for years on my Note 8, Note 5, etc...
Now, on the Note 9, the backup sticks at "Getting ready to back up" until I go into a folder that backup is enable on and toggle the option off then back on. This makes the application begin the backup. I have it configured for High Quality but it did the same when I tried Original quality settings.
I initially though it was a problem with photos that I moved over from my Note 8, but I cleared out all of my on device photos and it is still having this same problem. I tried all the usual steps of clearing Photos cache and data. Uninstall and reinstall, clear Play Services Cache and data. I haven't performed a factory reset, but I don't feel like taking the time to reconfigure everything for something that might not even work.
Does anybody else have this problem also?
No issues. Did you disable any services?
Photos works fine on my 960F/DS...
Yes and I can't figure out how to solve the problem. What have you found?

Hello,
I have similar issue on a French SM-N960F/DS (Dual Sim)
Somehow, the Google Photos App is stuck while retrieving my Photos (from Google Web Server) an I can only view a couple of them (the most recent ones), without being able to scroll down and view the older ones.
Also when taking photos, it wont upload them
And finally if I try to toggle the switch (for backup) inside one directory, I have a popup asking me to first enabe Backup and Sync in Google Photos Apps, which is ALREADY enabled.
I suspect this is linked to the SD Card.
I removed it (just unmount it is sufficient, no need to physically remove it) and I reconfigured the Native Samsung Photo App to store all photos on the internal memory.
And now Google Photos Apps is just working fine. Full access on old pictures and proper upload.
EDIT1:
I have RE-mounted the SD Card without changing the Samsung Photo App settings, which means all taken Pictures are still stored on the Internal Memory.
By doing so, when I get into the Google Photos App, I see the new picture, and I see that there is "1" new photo to be uploaded on the upper right corner, but it is stuck there. The round icon keeps circling and it never gets uploaded (I cannot see the new Picture on the Google Photos website from my laptop)
If I Unmount the SD Card again, then the new Picture gets properly uploaded and the App is not stuck.
There is definitively an issue with the SD card.
This is quite annoying as I store lots of TV Series on my SD Card, hence I have it always inside the Phone.......
EDIT2:
I have formatted the SD Card from the Phone menu and now it works fine , even if the Card is present.
EDIT3:
I have copied back 10x MKV Files onto the SD Card (while Note9 was connected to laptop), and now the problem re-appears. If I delete the directory containing these MKV, back to normal, functioning fine.....
Then I tried to configure the Samsung Photo App to store taken pictur on the SD Card. In that case, the Google Photos App is correctly synching the new picture.
So now I'm more thinking there is an issue with some of the files stored on the SD Card. This card had been used for +2 years on a Galaxy Note 4 without issue. I do think the Note 9 might have a flaw while handling content from the SD Card.... ?
EDIT4: SOLVED
I just simply put a text file called ".nomedia" inside the directory containing the MKV files and VOILA
Hope that helps someone else

Evening
I also had the same issue since I got my Note 9, photos was stuck uploading, I uninstalled the App and cleared the cache still the same, upon reading your forum. I bought 512gb SDCard was working perfectly fine since PIE 9, after rolling back to Oreo; I unmounted the SD card closed Google Photos and checked the camera setting to make sure it was Internal. I opened Google Photos and it had already uploaded screenshot I took earlier and also seen in online. I then re-mounted the card by rebooting the phone for fresh install and worked normal again. Took a few screen shot's and google photos was uploading them as normal.
So anyone else check your card first, baffled me for a few day's
