So it turns out this phone encrypts the SD card.....Well, bluetooth functionality stopped working, as well as my speakers. Wiped the phone, and both work. However, I had pulled out my card as I have any other smartphone in the past....
Well, my computer cannot read the SD card, and my phone just wants to format the card. How do I get it back?
If you set the SD card as internal storage, you won't be able to use the SD card sepearately without the phone.

Right, I have the same phone, I just had to erase the device as my speakers and bluetooth went haywire. I put the SD card back in the phone and it won't read it now.

Help,
After i flashed my KAISER i have a problem. The sd card is not recognised anymore. Is there a solution for this problem?
I hope so, otherwise i have a brick
Storage card problem
I always used a 4 gig card, just tried an 512 mb card, and that one was recognised. Strange isn't it?
First, which method did you use to flash your new ROM?
If you used the USB method to flash your new ROM, did you remove your SD card during the flash process?
If you used the SD card method to flash your new ROM, did you do a hard reset with your SD card inserted?
Second, do you have an SD card reader for your computer? I would probably try to verify that the file system and data are intact on your SD card. If you have an SD card reader, you can also use it to reformat your card.
If none of this is helpful, provide some more information to fill in the gap between your microSD card working properly and not showing up on your phone.
Re
I flashed to TPCV5.1 full today. No sd in my phone.
My cars reader in the computer doesn't recognise the sd card either.
Strange thing is , when i use an other 4 gig sd card, the phone still doesn't recognise it, my card reader on my computer does, so why not on my phone.
I had a 2 gig sd card, and put all the data again on it, and it's working.
Stilli have a problem that my phone won't recognise a 4 gig sd card.
So far my story.
Does seem odd. What file system is your 4GB card formatted with? If it shows up as "RAW" or anything, I would definately format it to FAT32.
Edit: I was referring to your "other" 4GB card. I don't think I have any advice for the original one.
How does one wipe out the internal SD card? Odin 1 click does not do it.. Going into privacy/factory rest does not do it either.
Last night I did a 1 click and factory reset and when I attached the phone to my pc and mounted the internal SD, there were still lots of directories with data in them from past application installs.
Thanks
Go to settings, then the SD card and phone storage menu. Find the internal SD card section, select unmount SD card, then format SD card. Once its done it auto mounts back to the phone again.

So I have no idea when this issues started and it seems to happen with *all* roms I flash on my Captivate now. (I'm using CM10.0 at the moment). Basically the issue is that when the phone boots, it'll only automatically mount the "internal storage (1.46gb)" and my external 32gb sd card.
It won't automatically mount the user-data portion of the internal card (the bit the Captivate calls "USB storage" (13.03gb). However, I can mount it manually if I go into <Storage> and do it from there.
This happens all the time to me *unless* I have my external sd card removed. Then everything boots and mounts normally. If I then insert my external sd card, then that will mount normally as well.
But with both my internal and external inside upon boot, it won't automatically mount the "USB storage area" that I mentioned. That's the bulk of the internal sd card in the first place!
So how do I fix?

Is your external SD set as main? It seems like it thinks your external has priority.

Hello,
Did you fix this problem? Because i have the same on my galaxy s i9000 running CM10.1 Nightly from today (11/01/2012)
4 Day ago everything was fine, both sd´s were mounted at boot. But then suddenly ...bang... no int-sd (Usb-Storage), although i can access everything in CWM (int-sdm ext-sd, system etc.)
Maybe you know something?
Greetings, Strainhunter

Bumping because there doesn't seem to be an answer to this. Mine is doing the same thing. Running CM 10.1 RC2, 5-28 Nightly. If I connect my Captivate to my computer, then disconnect, it will mount the internal SD, but then the external SD won't be mounted. If I follow that procedure again, both SD storages will mount.
Unknown how the external SD can be set as main storage. How is that done? My ringtones are all on my internal SD card, and every time this happens the ringtones have to be reset. It's a hassle.
try this
power down.
remove sd card and set it aside.
boot the phone without the sd card. wait for it to settle down - like 10 minutes.
with the phone still on, remove the back cover and put the sd card in the slot, then replace the cover.
go to settings, storage and see if the card is mounted. if not, click mount sd card.

I'm not talking about the removable SD card. I'm talking about the internal storage.
I know. try the steps I suggested. your storage devices may have multiple mount commands that conflict with each other. try it.

Seems to have worked. Thanks!
my external SD is mounted but doesnt show folds
I have a problem with my external SD. It mounts fine, sort of. All the things stored on it are in the phone and usable but, if I go into Myers file manager, Root Explorer, and if I go to ex SD, there is only like four files showing. This is a 16G SD card with about nine gigs uses just for music and another three gigs used for miscellaneous apps and things.
They are in the phone. They are usable. I just can't access them.
Is this something to do with permissions? Read and write? It does the same if I move it to my other phone. Any help would be great. Thanks
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 all,
I have a sandisk SD card in my phone set as internal storage since I got it.
Today it is going funny...I can see it in the list of storage but when I browse it I don't see any contents.
I plugged the phone into PC and it shows as 22.8gb free of 119gb but also will not show any contents.
I have removed and reinserted the SD card, I have tried setting it as internal storage again but no luck.
Even in ES File Manager I see the SD card name but once selected no content.
Currently cannot try the SD card in computer directly as I am in office and don't have an Micro to standard SD adaptor card with me. I am not too concerned about data loss as all my photos are backed up on Onedrive and my music on my laptop.
Did anyone else have issues such as this in the past?
Any tips on how to resolve without having to format SD card and copy everything back?
Cheers
Ok, very strange.
In my laptop using card directly everything is there with no issues but phone just sees the 22gb empty part of SD card.
I tried another blank Samsung SD card and it works fine so I copied the data from the card with the issue and everything works fine.
Formatted the card playing up and also is fine.
So no idea why the phone decided not to see all the data on the SD card that was in it for last 6 months.
