Its been some time now that i can no loner access my external 2GB card (where avatar is stored). I am using the right drivers from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929... Not sure why all of the sudden i can't access it from my PC. Any clues?
So I assume you can still access your internal sd? I'll just start with that question.....

My SD card won't mount. The phone says it is mounted, but PC shows nothing. This is the first time this has ever happened.
EDIT: Nevermind booted into recovery and it mounted fine.
Of you're talking about mounting it to the computer when the phone is on, its a bug I believe and as a temporary fix, just go to internet pass through, then turn disk drive back on and it should pop up

I read in his forum that it will be fixed in his next up date. But as akstyle450 said, that work around works great.

I connected my TB to the home PC today (windows XP), but I cannot access the SD card.
When connected to PC, SD Phone & Storage/Unmount SD card is grey'd out.
When disconnected from PC, SD PHone & Store/Unmount SD card is white (available).
My settings:
USB Connection type: Disk drive
Applications/Development: USB debugging is checked
I know for sure that I've been able to access the SD card when connected before. What in the heck am I doing wrong??
What's you're ROM?
Stock ROM. I'm trying to get rooted and need to transfer files to SD card.

I should also note...when connected to PC I can see the phone via Windows explorer. Just not the SD card. Weird.

You might try reseating the card?
I can read and write to the card no problem on the phone. It's the PC that can't see it. I have some pics and video of my kids on there right now so I want to avoid formatting unless absolutely necessary. I'll try reseating, rebooting phone and pc, and see if that kicks anything loose.

Guessing here, but if you are running a GB Rom with an older kernel, you might need to put the phone into internet passthrough mode, wait about 5 secs, then change it to disk drive. That problem was fixed in later kernels.

Make sure you pick disk drive mode and then wait. It takes sometimes a minute plus for my pc to see the second drive (sd card), first one (verizon) comes up quick.
After much tinkering in the past 12 hours I'm convinced the issue is on the Windows XP side and not my phone. I cannot access my wife's SD card either (she also has a thunderbolt). But I CAN access the SD cards in both phones via Ubuntu. So although I've got it narrowed down to XP, I still haven't figured out how to get XP to see it.

did you just connect and wait for a couple of minutes?
you might also want to check device manager make sure windows didn't have in issue loading. I've seen that happen, second the thoughts on waiting a few minutes to see if it shows. Had that happen a few times on windows machines.
Yeah, I waited about 20 minutes hoping something positive would happen. Nothing. I uninstalled the phones driver from 'My Computer/Manage'. Then rebooted the PC. Then plugged the phone back in. It downloaded a fresh driver. Still no SD card tho. Maybe its tome to reinstall XP and see if that fixes the problem.

Have you updated your drivers on your PC?
I have a computer running XP and I can see my sd card just fine on my TB.
I did have an older drivers and needed to load an newer one for it to work when I getting ready to first root my phone as well.
Try running this tool:

I'm running x64 Windows 7, so I doubt the verison I have will help you. You can get a 32bit version from the link.
It's USBDeview and allows you to see all current connected USB devices as well as all previously used devices. Found it here on another thread, and it was fixing a number of user's issues.
Got my sgs2 yesterday, had the Sim put in, data worked fine. Took it out and put it in my captivate so I could charge my new phone, and data worked fine there too. But now putting it back in my new phone it gets signal but no data.d. I've checked all the settings, I have packet data enabled, even tried roaming. Also rebooted several times. Any ideas or suggestions?

Try this, go into settings>privacy>factory data reset> select that and it
will delete any apps you have downloaded/installed and it will format and
use all the default settings the phone had when you first purchased the phone.
It will format your internal sdcard and reset the phone.
If you have any mp3's, pictures or videos on the phone
right now you may want to copy all of that stuff to your
computer first.

That only wipes and resets the system and data partitions, it won't touch the sdcard, but you should have all of everything important to you backed up before you try anything encase something gets corrupted.
That said I would do some more trouble shooting on your signal and connection before you start doing things like this.

You may actually want to call AT&T and tell them you're not getting any data connection. I had that happen to me when I got my previous phone before my gs2 and again when I got my gs2. It probably still shows the captivate provisioned to the network for your data side of the line.
They will tell you to turn off the phone then remove the battery and sim card. Then they will do their thing and tell you to put back in the sim card and battery and turn the phone back on. It should work after that.
I installed CM9 alpha 0.03 and the wifi will not stay connected. The routers that worked perfectly with CM7 will not work with CM9, anyone else had/having trouble with wifi when using CM9?
Yes!! I had the same issue when I loaded it last night. went back to cm7 till the 3.0 kernal comes out.
Really, I haven't had this problem at all. Try turning the router. Also what wifi security type is it?
Sent from my Team A CM9 Alpha 0.03 Nook Tablet
I rebooted the NT a couple times and so far (2 hours) the wifi is working as it should. I have been using this at work on two wireless routers and I'll be trying it at home soon. I'll keep my fingers crossed, I hope the wifi problem was temporary. I'm loving CM9 otherwise.
Edit: The wifi security is WPA2.
One little update on my wifi problem. The wifi was working perfectly at work and at home until I ran an app that needed the sd card mounted (I figured it was mounted at boot but it wasn't) so I removed/replaced the sd card and bam, the wifi stopped working. I repeated this 5 times, same result every time, so I need to find out what is causing this problem.
I'm having the same problem. My wifi drops out when I run certain apps. For me, it's dropped out when running Gmail or any mail app, and BBC World News app so far.
This was not a problem at all until I changed my email passwords. Probably a coincidence but it happened at the exact same time.
I'd just like to give an update to say that this randomly stopped happening as randomly as it started. I've no idea what the cause is.

I am also having a problem. I am running CM9 externally and my wifi was working great until one day it just would not turn on. I tried rebooting it to no avail. Wifi still works in CM7 and stock ROM. Anybody have an idea to fix it? Thanks.
External is susceptible to getting corrupted. I would backup by TiB folder first... then I would just reformat the card ( sdformatter 3.1 ) and re make it. Hey, try Jelly Bean !

Well I cleared data and reflashed. Everything is working again. Just curious, I thought the JB build for NT was still beta? And just to got totally noob on you, how would I flash it to a sdcard partition? Thanks for the help.

My bad. Jelly Bean is not 'external sd card' ready. Those guys are super smart, so maybe, hopefully, it will be soon.

I wonder if Succulent is working on it also ?
HI Everybody,
I installed the AOKP CM10 ROM from this forum and the install went great. Thanks for that. Things were going along well but then it seems to have unmount the SD card. The card is mounted after a fresh reboot but then it is unmounted (and can't be remounted as far as I can tell) when the tablet goes to sleep (screen blank). The odd thing is that Root Explorer won't show the files but it has the correct usage of the card listed. It says the card is empty. If I reboot again, it's there and can be used. If it goes to sleep again the card is unmounted or put into the funky state. It's very odd.
I had CM7 (also from this forum) running on it previously and it did not have this issue. It had the WIFI problem when it when to sleep but the SD card was rock solid.
Any ideas about what I can do? The version of the ROM is cm10-jb-aokp acclaim unofficial 0.01 and I did upgrade CWM to the 6.0.1.5 version before starting the install.
Thanks in advance for the help.

try moving all ur apps that depend on the sd card to the tablet itself and that should solve your problems...
Thanks, I thought about that. I'm just wondering if it's a problem with CM10 or something else. I think I only have one app that is currently using the SD card. I'll move it and I'm pretty sure my issue will be worked around. Would be nice to have this fixed though. I put movies on the SD card to watch them on plane flights. If it's not really working it makes it hard to do that.
Thanks again.

The SD card unmounting is a known bug in all the CM10 ROMs, and seems to be linked to WiFi waking and sleeping. The most common work-around is to manually turn off WiFi before your tablet goes to sleep. Alternatively, you can use an app like AutomateIt or Tasker to have WiFi turn off when the screen turns off. Since installing AutomateIt and configuring it to turn off WiFi when the screen turns off, I haven't had a problem with the SD card unmounting (on either the AOKP ROM or Demetris' CherryPick ROM).

Thanks for that. However I have some new information. I was waiting to see if this turned out to be stable and it does seem to be working. So on the original work-around to move any apps from the SD card to the internal memory I had only one app, Aldiko reader. The odd thing was that even installing it the first time it wanted to install onto the SD card. There was no way to force the install to the internal storage. Anyway, once I moved the app everything started working. It's been 2 days now that the SD card has stayed mounted. Also, the WIFI has been working great moving between my home network and the work network. So I'm not sure what is going on with the Aldiko reader but it somehow was causing the SD card to unmount when the tablet went to sleep. Very odd.
Thanks for all the help. Everything is working and it's work great! I moved the launcher over to the Nova launcher today as I wanted more home sceens (not that I really needed them just to see if that would work and it does). I couldn't get the default CM10 launcher to do that, at least I couldn't find a configuration option to allow that.

What you saw with Aldiko was intentional on the dev's behalf -- Aldiko is configured to install to external storage if it's available, and to store your library on external storage as well. You need to manually move it to internal storage.
The SD card unmounting bug is not limited to Aldiko, though it would seem that way if Aldiko was the only app you had installed in external storage. If you install anything onto your SD card in the future, you'll continue to see this bug... Many folks here have been able to turn the bug on and off by changing the Wi-Fi settings, which is why the recommended work around is to use AutomateIt to turn Wi-Fi on and off with the Screen.
