hello, i am really really scared about what happened to my phone, i dont know when it happened or how it happened.... i just restarted it, and the apps on my desktop, go green, and i cant click on them, i knew they were on sd card, but the dont', then show any more, i tried to put my backup rom in again after wiping everything, but same problem, i cant even install apps from market, when i click on "free" then the "ok" button doesnt press, and i cant install apps from sd card either. i tried to take out the sd card and putting it back in but nothing. i can go to my sd card thru astro, etc, and browse and everything, just cant install apps. i cant even use the UPDATE SERVICE on the computer, and my computer doesnt detect usb, same with my phone. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME, IM SOO SCARED. i am using 2.2.1, the gingerbread theme.i cant move apps, they keep saying "moving": forever, but never move,
therefore i cant install it, the only way that might work, is the custom.zip, with apps in it.thats what ive been thinking of so far, but how can i make that .zip folder? i got the titaniumbackup, using xrecovery, there was a .zip,and when i go in "partition tools", my cashe is always mounted, even if i unmount, it gets mounted.
thanks.
well..... flash back to original FW with flashtool...... then brick ur phone again... huhu..
@whitezboon - He can't use flashtool cos it won't detect the USB... [I pressed thanks by mistake]
however, there may be another option.. you might be able to get a std 2.1 ROM that you can flash onto the phone using xrecovery.. take the microSD card out of your phone - put the rom on there using your PC and a microSD adapter and voila..
Factory reset
@whitezboon, i cant connect it to computer....
and where can i download the std 2.1 rom from???
use Tool from Bin4ry's and Androxyde to flash ( seek in this forum for it, there r guide to use it), after done restore backup..

i fully recovered my phone and everything, with the "2.1" update service. thru my computer, i let the sony companinion do it. everything worked fine, so then i rooted it, then busybox, xrecovery etc, then installed free beta rom 4 for x10, and the same problem, and other roms have the same problem too...

is ur main problem accessing SD cards contents form android OS or inability to install apps from market?
3
3 problems, i cant install apps from market, sd card, i also cant connect to computer, but can charge.
i can go thru the sd card with astro, do stuff, when i press install, it keeps installing but never ends. i can download things from internet too. i dont know what happened, it only happens on 2.2/+, otherwise its fine, the only reason i dunt like 2.1 is cuz its really really slow
Sounds like your Sd cards the problem. Try formatting via computer with adapter, then put it back in your phone. Good luck

well first of all thanks for your help in advance.
I had a good x10 and decided to sell it and buy a new one because mine is already a bit scratched and other things the former was a X10A and now I have an X10 if that matters somehow.
good considering the x10 in hand I decided to update it first modific to 2.1 with good first non-tariff flashtool restarted. do it again and go for a while whether the network data set, each time an application instalava stuck and restarted.
after that does not solve the problem only 2g sailing. to make root was another problem with me probelam flastool was a play. remove the battery and leave it outside for a while. then again in the place lit if root root but the best was with superclickone.
then install the recovery well to try to install a different rom.
1.7 of laversion install it in my previous trip Experia worked perfectly.
and reboot several times but the biggest mistake was that he recognized me in any froyo memory told me that was not there I thought that was the only rom that fallava but try other froyo and I recon all the phone memory.
the formative and other things and not do anything.
I hope you can help me thanks.
well first of all thank you all for your time
baseband good use the 49 is the one used in the above and it worked well but you're right, maybe because it was for America proves with another 67 or more.
well that was installed with the Sony Ericsson flashtool X10i_2.1.1.A.0.6_CUST GENERIC-TH 1237-0336
root and then install other froyo over several people and doing the problem is restarted as long as I showed the worst memory.
rom froyo good at baseband always use 49 did not try other that could have caused this problem but I do not recognize the memory in the rom do not understand.
But the most curious .. I can restart the telefonoy xrecovery enter a bone having a rom froyo I recognize the memory but when it does not appear but entered the xrecovery if I have it and I can see all of it I install anything but get nothing.
Also if you want to install a backup does not work xrecovery entered the xrecovery give restore Begins choose the copy and paste to work then restarts and I lose everything because the phone does not come over and touch me again with the flashtool.
to light in the rom 2.1 if you recognize me in rom memory but I do not like froyo recognize the memory but still recognize it when I enter the xrecovery and I can see what is memory and install things that are in but when I restart it and entered into the system memory does not recognize me tells me no memory mounted.
thanks for everything
I'm sorry but I don't understand EXACTLY what your problem is. I understand that you used to have an X10a but now you have an X10i. Is that correct?
You have a problem because you have no 3G? Are you aware that an X10i has different 3G radio than an X10a?
Maybe you should tell where you are using your X10 and what your carrier is.
For what i can understand he used to have a X10a and now he has a X10i, he was using 2.1 before and now he is using a custom Froyo ROM.
The problem i think he has (besides this is written in "engrish" ) is that his Froyo ROM doesn't recognize the SDcard, but still xrecovery does recognize de SDcard.
He says that he has tried with other Froyo ROMS but he still has the same issue.
When he does a xrecovery backup his phone always crash and loses everything in SDcard.
Corrupted SDcard, maybe? o.o
Try reformatting your SDcard on your PC with FAT3 at 4clusters or something ._.
OK, I got that. Then as CescVicious says, you should:
1. Go into recovery, mount the SDcard and copy the entire contents of the card to PC
2. Repartition and format SDcard either from recovery or PC. I would make sure there is no ext partition just in case.
3. Copy the backup you just made back to SDcard
4. Reboot and see what happens
If the problem still continues, I would try a different SD card to see if it shows the same behavior.
Or am I still missing something here?
==== Update 20120215 ==========
It seems Galaxy Note also has this problem.
jager13 has posted this issue in code.google.com, so please anyone with this issue comment there so that google devs can know about it and fix it!
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=25563
==========================
I believe that many of us (if not all) should have this problem.
I got so many apps installed, so many of them are installed in SD Card automatically by Android or I manually moved them to SD Card.
(In total I have ~650 app elements in Titanium Backup and keep growing depending on what I have installed or haven't restored at any given point)
The problem is since I updated from 2.3.4 to version >= 2.3.5 even to ICS 4.0.3 LP2, LP6, LPB, LPH.
Problem:
- Power On then phone will reboot after some 2-5 minutes idle and again reboot infinitely so I cannot use my phone at all.
- If I removed my external SD Card, no more reboot.
- Or if I delete some amount of .asec files in ".android_secure" folder (where the app in sd card is saved) in the external SD Card no more reboot.
- And yes, I have done many (if not all) imaginable things: re-flash, factory reset, wipe cache, fix permission, change SD Card, reinstall from market...
- And no, this is not specific SD Card problem.
There is older thread talking about this problem but the thread is about general reboot problem so it got mixed with other kind of reboot.
After trying ICS leaks in a hope that the problem is fixed I find that it is still NOT fixed
and maybe won't be fixed if not enough people complain about this problem.
And I think Samsung developers and QA don't know this issue.
It will be shame if SGS3 still has this problem. I absolutely won't buy it.
So to check this, I hope the reader of this thread to try this (Samsung based ROM > 2.3.4 only):
- Please move as many apps as you can or all of your apps to SD Card..
- Or please install as many apps as you can from market and moved them to SD Card if not already.
- The apps number is not exact (60 maybe more), more is better, maybe related with apps size too.
(I found that when my ".android_secure" folder size in external sd card approaching ~1.5GB maybe more, the reboot problem occurs)
- And then tell here that you have infinite reboot or not in idle mode 2-5 minutes after power on. Please try 2-3 times.
- Also post your ROM/kernel version, stock or mods.
- And please check that removing the external SD Card solve the reboot problem.
Remember that u have to be at least Samsung based ROM version 2.3.5 because this problem is side effect (2.3.4 and earlier does not have this problem).
For us who has this problem, please add your post to this thread to keep it alive
and don't forget to rate high so it will get attention from other users and hopefully from Samsung.
Let's make this issue known to Samsung.
And I hope that people who got firmware leaks from Samsung can tell them about this problem/thread.

So it seems that this problem happens only in Samsung based ROM.
It is great that CM9 does not have this issue.

May I know which ROM/kernel u use?
Are u using Samsung based ROM > 2.3.4?
I have this bad problem. I posted about this problem on old topics and how to remove this problem by return to old firmware with android 2.3.4.
Thank you for opening this thread because It is I think a general problem and the big problem that its happened with ICS. I tried and tried to solve this problem without success but I found that this problem start faster after transfer small size apps.
This problem must be solved, because we need to transfer apps to SD card.
Thanks again dragon135
i can confirm i am another user who had no issues at 2.3.4 upgraded to ICS LP2 this evening and now have this problem! not cool....
Ok flashed lp6 and so far so good

I have had the same problem with the following Samsung Android versions:
2.3.5
2.3.6
I have a SGH-I777 (AT&T Galaxy S II).
I have tried several class 4 and a new class 10 made by Samsung. Same results.
After using App2SD and after moving several apps to SD, the device will eventually reboot right after the SD scan completes.
Removing the SD is the only way to fix this. You can reformat the SD card but the problem will eventually occur when you move several apps to the SD card again. I have been unable to identify a particular app that triggers this reboot.
i have the same problem with my lg o2x. no solution??
exactly the same issue with my Captivate
I moved more than 100 APPs to SD recently. It worked fine with Froyo. The only problem I had is the icon disappearing issue. After switching to GO launcher, everything worked fine. Today I upgrade my phone to GB (KK4, 2.3.5), and started to have the same problem. I have to unmount my SD card to keep my phone away from rebooting. With my wife's card, only data on it, my phone had no issue. Once I put my card back, it starts again.
I can confirm. This issue exists and NOT just samsung firmware. i had the same issue running MIUI. When there are too many apps (my count is 264 apps) the phone will boot, the back of the phone will get really hot and then within 2-3 minutes of booting reboot again to the same unlock or home page screen. And it will keep doing it until your battery is dead. it also drains the battery like crazy!!!
Seriously wtf?
Is there a way to move those APPs back to phone? This is really annoying.

yes, just cut some .asec-files (as many as it needs) from the .android_secure folder an paste them into another folder, so that the phone won´t reboot anymore.
the apps according to the .asec files now won´t be shown in appdrawer.
than you install gemini app manager and move the smallest (if you have not much space on phone) or just some other apps you want back to phonememory. after that you can put the .asec files back in to the android_secure folder, so that those apps appear again in app drawer.
if phone still reboots: same precedure.
like others wrote, and my own experience: abourt 50 files in android_secure folder is ok, more: reboots.
or if you have backups from your apps in titanium:
put sd card in pc. delete all the small asec files, so that in android_secure folder remain only the biggest files. and not more than 50 files.
better only 40. than your phone should work again and you can restore those small apps with titanium, but before that, you tell titanium only to restore into internal memory.
this helps for me. but i really wouldlike to be able to install more apps an sd card! nobody??

As requested I also have this issue.
Seriously considering the downgrade to 2.3.4 despite the aggravation it will cause me.
I transfered all of them to my laptop first and then moved them back ~20 APPs at a time. But then I got the 'phone storage space is getting low' error. Trying to fix it eventually led to a 'factory reset'. I don't have backup for all of the APPs. Without all those junks the phone was very smooth and stable. Once I restored a few APPs and moved them to SD card, I was hit by random shut-down issue but no reboot yet. Finally I figured out why my phone went to sleep almost every night with me. LOL. It happened just after I moved most of my APPs to SD. WTF.
So I had a bizarre crash and now continuous rebooting. Let me explain what happened:
A friend messages me on Facebook to tell me his new number. It is highlighted so I click it and the dialer promptly opens and shows the number, and I highlight his number so I can paste it into his contact. When I click the copy button, the phone hangs, and shortly reboots.
I don't worry, these occasional crashes aren't unheard of. But when the phone reboots, it loads up a few widgets and my background before rebooting again. And you can see where this is going.
I figure I glitches some cache so I use vol up, power and home and wipe the cache. I think that fixed it, as I get about a minute then it goes again, and back we go to shorter times.
I'm at a loss to how this has happened. Any quick ideas? I'd like to avoid a factory wipe if I can avoid it.
Update and bump
So, it only occurs when I have my SD card installed???
Anybody know anything about this?
formatting sd card and factory reset helps ...
Trying to avoid factory reset - already used odin to reflash and it did nothing besides ruin my carefully preserved root which I have now restored.
Now I'm exploring whether some weird app has installed to SD card and is playing weird, whilst I scan the SD card for problems.
I did find other threads talking about this issue in ICS:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446961&page=9
but we shall see...
At this point, I'm sure that Factory and SD wipe would probably work, but I'm now as curious WHY it's happening, perhaps to help others later.
actually its happening with more posts tht i seen ,is wiv ppl using app2sd an movd all apps to sd...the prblm dosnt come if the apps r left were it is instead of moving...
I had the same problem after installing the insecure kernel.my cell started restarting.
Than I flashed a different kernel provided by chainfire. Bingo issue resolved ;-)

Why not use TB to backup all your apps & data then do a factory wipe/reset. Copy your SD card to your PC then format it. Reinstall TB then all your apps & data.

I have been researching this problem for a couple days now and have not found any solutions please hlep before I go crazy. I have been using MeanRom for quite awhile now and love it....(great rom). I had no problems all the way up to 3.2, but then I flashed 3.6 (I also flashed the new radio). Every thing seemed to work great my phone was finaly running very smooth and not having any slowdown periods. I then noticed that my ringtones on my sd card did not show up for me to choose in the personalize app. After this I found that my pictures in my gallery and music in my HTC music app dont show up. When I use my akimbo audiobook player it finds the audiobooks on the sd card fine, also es explorer shows all the music and pictures are on my sd card and can be played or viewed through es explorer.
Equipment: EVO lte, 32 gb pny sd card
Things I have done to fix this problem:
--tested my sd card and it appears to be the real thing and functioning great
--tried another sd card had the same results
--tried coping my music, ringtones and pictures to internal memory......results same problem
--tried coping my ringtones to system ringtone folder and it still would not recognize them.
--copied the SD card to my computer, formated it and then copied data back.......result the same problem as before.
--did a system wipe, and factory reset, clean install of Mean rom 3.8, 3.9, and 4.0 .......result the same problem as above.
--removed all data from internal memory, did a clean install of Meanrom 4.0.......result the same problem
--used superwipe did a clean install of meanrom 4.0.....result the same problem
--did a data restore back to previous 3.2 meanrom.....result everything (music, pictures and ringtone) work again, but battery drain is horrible.
I have spent hours flashing roms, and searching the internet for a fix and can't find anything that works please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks in advance for your help.
I had the same problem with mine on a different Rom. All was fine until the flashes based on the new OTA base. I hope someone with an answer jumps in here.

That is exactly where the problem started is when the MeanRom went to the new 2.13 base.
Had a similar issue with gallery not recognizing pics from sdcard2. Was on stock, rooted. Took phone back for secure element brick before I tried anything.
Ask me about my ability to annoy complete strangers!
So I kind of got around this by clearing everything. Doing a clean install of MeanRom 3.4 (last rom before 2.13 base). rebooted, added all my info for registering the phone. rebooted to recovery, cleared cache and dalvik, installed MeanRom 4.0 then used titanium back up to restore apps but not system data. Doing this got me ringtones, music and pictures to start working again.
Note: after installing updates to some apps in the Play store lost the SD card again. Used Titanium backup to revert apps back to pre update status and SD came back. Guessing it is an app causing problems but not sure since I had this problem even after a clean install of MeanRom 4.0 prior to installing my apps.
