General :: Samsung S3 Can't Find SD Card Anymore
Apr 29, 2014
I've had my S3 for just over a year, never dropped it or anything like that. About a week ago when I woke up and looked at my notifications I had a triangle up at the top (like a warning sign), and it said something to the extent that my SD card had been removed without unmounting it. Checked the card, it was still in there properly, so I powered down the phone several times and it still doesn't recognize my card. Some of my apps that were stored on there are no longer accessible on my phone, don't know about pics etc though.

After successfully setting up and using adb for a couple of days with my viewpad 7e (device-id is 0x0bb0 - this value is in my adb_usb.ini - although i believe it once worked with 0xbb0 - now both doesnt) adb decided not to see my tablet anymore.
Of course usb debugging is enabled. I can use the binaries, only my device does not show up anymore. mac os x knows about the device:
Code:
ViewPad 7e:
Product ID:0x0005
Vendor ID:0x0bb0 (Concord Camera Corp.)
Version: 2.27
Serial Number:ViewSonic
Speed:Up to 480 Mb/sec
Manufacturer:VS
Location ID:0xfd120000 / 4
Current Available (mA):500
Current Required (mA):500
mac osx 10.7.5
android-sdk downloaded again yesterday, so it should be pretty damn new.
Besides the adb_usb.ini the installation is straight forward what you'll find in almost any howto on setting up adb. so where did i go wrong? or, what other stuff between my macbook and adb could keep adb from seeing the device?
I use vmware fusion on my macbook. this normally asks me wether to pass on a usb device to the VM or connect it to the host. it does _NOT_ (however, settings regarding this are correct as in 'always ask') ask me anymore.

I bought a Sandisk Ultra microSDXC card with 64GB to use in my Samsung s3 mini. When I put it in the phone doesn't find it (presumably); going to `settings` -> `storage` and scrolling down to the bottom it says
Mount SD card
Insert SD card
but it is greyed out, so nothing happens when I tap it. The SD card seems to work perfecly fine as a storage on my Windows 7 computer.
Googling around it seems I might have to format the SD card to fat32 (I tried first reformatting it with exFat, the default, and also NFTS, to no avail). But that is not an option when using `right-click` -> `format...` on windows 7.
So I try "Fat32Formatter". When I start it it claims the SD card is in NFTS format (even though it's formatted to exFat). Trying to format it to Fat32 I get the error `Failed to determine the drive`.
I also tried "HP USB disk storage format tool", but when I start it all the options are greyed out and I'm not even able to select a device.
Lastly I tried "MiniTool partition wizard", which indicates that the SD card is `(Bad Disk)` and doesn't let me format or do anything to it. I try using Partition Recovery Wizard on it, but that doesn't change anything.

I have a Galazy S4 and also have a 32GB Micro SD card for music and pictures. I was able to store my game apps and other apps onto the SD card so I didnt use up all my space. Since the update, I can't store any games onto the app. The games do have the toggle button that says Move to SD Card, when I do it comes up with a Unable to move app.

My Desire started to refuse to install new applications or update old ones. They would download fine but then I'd get a message saying "Installation unsuccessful" but not give me any further information as to why that is. When using .apk files, I get "Application not installed" but no further information as well.
I have enough space on both the phone and the SD card and I am running a rooted 2.2 original ROM.
So I'm stuck and I need your help. Why does this happen and how can I find out?

This morning I started seeing errors about the SD card not being available. I checked under setting and sure enough it wasn't available. It worked perfectly yesterday. The first thing I thought of was that the card went bad since I bought a 16GB one off eBay. So I shut down and replaced the SD card with the 8GB one it came with. No change. The phone just doesn't recognize an SD card anymore.

Sso yesterday, my phone did one of the resets on its own, thinking ok whatever (since its the norm now). When it came back up was saying please insert external memory card. Something like that. So again, its crapped out another card. I would have to check my last post to see if this happened with the old phone or the replacement. Its been just fine, now everything is gone again. I know I should back things up but when u have never had this problem b4 its not something that I always remember to do. I had removed weather widget and beautiful widget as I didn't know which one I wanted and was rearranging icons. Now I cant use either. I was checking for a schedule online.

Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I could send special characters (i.e: �, �, �, �, �, ect) in text messages. Then, it wouldn't anymore. I believe my phone updated to Jelly Bean before it stopped, so it may be connected to that. When I try to send a message with any type of special character in it, the message simply won't send. No matter if I use the messenger than came on the phone, or the one I installed (Handcent). I still get the message just not sending. It'll send once I take the characters out of the message, though. I can normally receive messages containing special characters, but they sometimes it shows up as squares.
Mostly, I want to know if I can fix it. I understand that it may be the update, which I'll have to wait out. Or that it could be the phone itself, which in that case I'd just have to wait till I can upgrade again. It's just very annoying not being able to send accents or special characters. Especially to my Spanish only speaking friends.

I just upgraded from an HTC Aria to an HTC Inspire. I had a bunch of apps on my SD card, but when I put the SD card in my new phone, I can't seem to access the apps. I went to "Manage Apps", and "On SD Card", and nothing was there, although it does show about 1GB is used, 7GB free. Where are all my Apps and how do I get to them?

I picked up my phone about two weeks ago and there was an update right away. I had no problen downloading it through the phone and it turned out to be 2.1.1. So a week later I wanted to check again, when I do it says connection failed or something similar. Now each time it does this I have to wait 24hrs befor I can retry. Tonight was the 4th try. I've attempted this from different locations both with good 3G signal.

It used to lock whenever you pressed the end button andwhen you cliced end again, you had to slide the buttonto unlock it. But suddenly, it stoped doing it. So everytime I press end, it just goes right to the home screen.

When I plug in my phone now, it doesn't give me the three options anymore (Charging, USB, etc). Did I disable something that I'm not aware of? Just installed Battery Indicator Pro yesterday. Could that be the culprit?

I use the Email App that was on the phone (not the specific Gmail app). I have two Gmail accounts and one school email app. All of the settings are set to check every 5 minutes. All three email accounts have been syncing fine for the first two days that I have had the phone, but all of a sudden the two Gmail accounts have stopped autosyncing. However, none of the settings have changed. My school email receives all my emails every 5 minutes, but my two Gmail accounts will only get the email once I enter the accounts and do a manual sync. Both of my Gmail accounts are set to IMAP and they are all on the right settings.

I am reviewing the Samsung Rugby Smart, and I don't want to ask my media contacts about the CPU.
I have found out the RAM is 354 MB, and the CPU is a Qualcomm Single-Core 1.4 GHz processor with the Adreno 205 GPU.
How to figure out which Qualcomm processor it is? Pretty sure it is an S2, but which one? I'm thinking maybe the same one in the G2, but I want to know for sure.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (P3110). I had downloaded a few movies on it from Google Play store. Now I can't see any of them when I connect the Tab to my Mac using Android File Transfer. I can see the movie files are there in the Tab under Applications/Google Play Movies/SD Card. But I can't when I tether the Tab to my Mac.

In Android, when you plug in via USB your phone to your PC, in the notification bar, a option is given to show the device as a USB drive. I dont get that option any more and I dont see anywhere to enable it or select it.

I've just bought an Oppo phone (with MTK6589 chipset.) 2 days ago I decided to root and flash CWM recovery to my phone. Rooting gone well and the phone is now rooted. Then I flashed CWM with Mobile Uncle Tool. It said that I flashed sucessfully, I got no error. But when I reboot the phone to recovery mode, nothing happend, the phone just did a normal reboot! I tried to flash other third-party recovery mode such as TWRP and MIUI recovery but I got the same problem: the phone couldn't get into recovery. The screen with a text "Recovery mode" appeared in 3s and the phone just did a normal reboot. I couldn't even format factory, all I got was just a normal reboot. I even tried many tools on Google Play and MTK flashtool but there were no hope. Now my phone is working normally but can't get into recovery mode.

I setup SIP calling through Sipdroid and Pbxes just fine. Uninstalled Sipdroid and was able to make SIP calls over 3G/WiFi using the Android Native Dialer. Suddenly my SIP calling does not work any more. I did not change any of the settings. When making calls over 3G/WiFi the call connects but immediately hangs up. The call log shows the call as outgoing but lasting "0 minutes, 0 seconds." The Sipdroid app works just fine but I don't want it running all the time.
UPDATE: I can make outgoing calls only if "Receive Incoming Calls" is checked. I would assume there is a way to make outgoing calls over SIP without having to accept them since I have GV forwarded to my cell number (yes I know it uses minutes but it saves on battery.)

I got the new (chinless) HTC Hero today and cannot figure out how to get the back off the phone to access the SD card. I'm afraid to apply to much pressure and break something.Additionally, the SD card is not at the location the manual shows.

Ok, I'm sick of looking around for the answer to this. And I apologize if its a "noobish" question:
When I plug my phone into my computer two drives come up (H: and I. From what I can tell, I: is my SD card, because it has the DCIM folder with all my pictures in it. Now...When I tried to put videos (mp4s,.avi) in there, I could not for the love of god find them through my phone! (I use Rockplayer to view videos by the way and its great so far). When I did finally find them through some file explorer in a strange Root folder called eccm or something I couldn't open them cause they didn't seem to get recognized by RockPlayer. But when moved those same files/folders to H: drive (my internal memory I assume) they showed up in rock player and I could play them.. Same thing goes for comics, I couldn't find my .cbr files when I put em on the SD card drive. The other reason this is hard for me to tell is that my SD card is 8gigs, which is the same as internal storage right?
So...Does the phone combine internal and SD storage and show it as two drives for some odd reason (I doubt it and I feel ******ed even asking)? And more importantly, can I store videos on the SD card and have 'em show up in file exploret/rockplayer/android comic viewer right off the bat? Cause it seems that by default RockPlayer or most programs show the internal memory and all its folders when opened, not what you put into your SD card..

My parents just gave me a used phone with android in it. About 2 months ago my mum took loads of picutes etc... Today I decided to 'clean up' the phone and deleted all the photos through my PC. After all that, my phone couldn't save the pictures, when i take the photo it says "Your phone couldn't save the picture" or something like that (got my phone in polish language) and i restart the phone so that everything on my phone will delete and still nothing, i just don't know what to do. The phone is Sony Xperia Tipoo as i know.

My EVO 3D (Sprint) is rooted and is on android version 2.3.4 and I believe it's not an android official release, this is how it was given to me. I'm trying to install CM10.1
I installed ClockworkMod 5.0.2.0 using ROM Manager and since then I haven't been able to boot into recovery mode. I can get into bootloader but not recovery. I've tried powering it on with the volume button down, using the recovery reboot option, and tried using "Reboot into Recovery" in ROM Manager, but I keep seeing the same thing. It boots with the HTC logo then goes black then at this point i believe I should be seeing recovery mode but instead I see the HTC logo again and then it just boots like normal. Is there something I did wrong and is there a way to get recovery to work again?

But when I try to install an APK clicking on Install does not respond and no message appears. I rebooted more times, cleared all caches, etc. to no avail.

I have big problems with this tablet because its not rebooting anymore. I have tried to instal a game from Gameloft and was freezing. I have restarted then... nothing. It appears just an Android logo, and nothing.
I have tested the recovery mode, i have pushed in the same time VolumeUp + Power On, VolumeDown + Power On, VolumeUp + VolumeDown + Power Off or just PowerOff but nothing happens. I can not enter in recovery mode.
Also, i installed SDK and tried to recovery with abd. Not working. it showsme that i have no device attached. I've installed all the parts of sdk, including google usb driver but my tablet its not recognised by SDK.
I tried to Reboot to recovery in this mode: with the device off, press the Vol - and Power button together until it enters recovery. Nothing happens. If i push only the power button, it appears Android logo. If i push only Volume-, appears nothing. If i push Volume-, then after 2 seconds Power... nothing appears, even if i keep pressed for 10 seconds or 30 minutes...
If i press the power button, Android logo dissapear and the screen goes blank, but if i let the tablet on the table the place is continue heating. The plastic back of the tablet is heated, even after 20 minutes I shutted down. Is there any way to completely remove the battery, to be sure that the tablet is OFF?
