Am i doing something stupid, I cant get the mp3's I have on my SD card to be seen in the Albums/Artists etc in the stock music player app.
I can see no option to "add" them into it.
They exist on the external SD card.
Not had this issue before.. anyone got any ideas?
Try to copy the files to your pc - and then format thd sd-card when it is in the phone. Copy the files back on the sd-card.
I have a similar problem on my SGS, and this method was the solution.

My first issue with Galaxy S II. Will have to try this, my 15GB of music on external sd is not recognised
Still, anybody found out why this is happening in the first place? The only thing I remember doing that had anything to do with sdcard was installing Multi Mount SD-Card widget in hopes that it would give me quick access to mounting sdcard as mass storage. Didn't work though, uninstalled it and now music not recognised. I can see it in file manager no problem,it's just media store that is not finding anything on external sd card
Thanks for any tips.
I should have replied back.
Doing exactly the recommended worked a treat.
Now any new files i add to the SD card work fine. It's odd why it didnt work from day one though, but it works now!

I think the only plausible reason for this issue may be the file system that the ROM uses. After each time you change the ROM, try to make sure that you format the SD card to avoid problems like this in the future.
If it isn't about the file system, then I don't know, maybe the problem could be caused by the ROM itself, since it's "home-made", or some damaged components in the device. Anyway, I got this problem too and I have an original ROM, so I'll just try the formatting method.
same problem think it is different reason

I'm having a same issue here but noticed it involved more than this and it happened at a certain app install. Hope someone here will recognize something in this post and help me not have to re-install my entire stock ruu, starting over.
The stock music player quit finding the mp3's on ext_sd card. First noticed this, but the stock gallery will not find photos as well.
I used Twrp to do a factory reset and was installing files again (most of my favorite apk's are stored on ext_sd card) and had to start with ES File Manager. When I went to setup ES File Manager up it will also not log into my network! So, after a factory reset these three things are happening and all of this started after loading Sterickson's permission fixer. The one on the app store that has the badly drawn cd image as app icon. Is there anyway to fix this or do I have to go back to the stock rom install to fix what his permission fixer trashed?

Irritating to say the least.

I've been having ongoing problems with my SD card in both MIUI and CM7. Basically, sometimes my card will mount and sometimes it won't. When I try to mount it, it sometimes says "damaged card" or "blank card" There's no consistent behavior. Sometimes it loads up fine on reboot, sometimes it works fine if I eject and reinsert it or unmount/mount it, but sometimes not. I've tried two different cards - one a sandisk 32gb class4, one a sandisk 2gb class4. I've tried reformatting the cards both on the phone and on the computer, using windows standard format and also the sdformatter program. I've loaded each ROM several times, ODINed back to stock, ext4 formatter, kernel cleaner; tried different kernels, different radios, different cards.
The cards I'm convinced are not the problem, because they work fine on the computer and also on my phone using different ROMs. I've seen people come up with this problem here and there, but not found a reliable fix. Every thing I've seen recommended I've tried, but nothing lasts. Sometimes things will work fine for a couple of days, then I'll start having problems again.
bump - anybody have any input on this problem?

just flashed cm7. My sdcard works fine on cm6.
the other weird, app2sd is just fine, every app on that partition working, except accessing sdcard.
sdcard also can mount on recovery using, as well as mount mass storage via recovery (mass storage failed on OS)
The only problems I've ever seen with sd cards is on ec09 but not cm7 or miui.. based on what you describe...I would think its a hardware issue with your phone not the rom, not the kernel, nor the sd card itself, have you tried pulling the battery, removing the sd card and cleaning the contacts on your phone with some rubbing alcohol on a q-tip..do the same to the card or you can use a pencil eraser for the card...is it possible you could have tried to insert a card the wrong way or a little crooked? I'm just brain storming for ya cause I'm not sure on a definite fix.
If you can, I would back up everything on your card while its still usable just in case its crapping out on ya

Thanks. I haven't tried that, but not sure how it could be a hw issue since the card works just fine on other ROMs on the same phone. Never had any SD card issues of any kind until I started messing with these GB ROMs. I will try, though.
I'm really thinking of going back to a froyo rom for now because I need stability. But this is such an intermittent/rarely reported issue that I don't think anybody's really working on it. I don't know that it will ever get fixed, in other words. Oh, well.
Well, I've given up on cm7 for now. I've gone back to ed05, trying the powerwashed ROM for now. Got to get some stability out of my phone, and unfortunately, I'm coming up with nothing from cm7. Maybe if there's a big update or something I'll have time to play with it again.
solved on CM-7.1-Pre
tried installing other rom base on CM-7.1-Pre and it work like a charm.
still curious if i have bad sdcard, tried back to previous ROM, and.......... the problem persist there.
so I decide to try dualboot.....
All my sd card mount issues are usually solved with a battery pull

I also have problems with my SD card. I can't partition mine. I more or less bricked mine about a month ago flashing a voodoo kernal, or not voodoo (I can't figure the whole thing out anyway) where it wasn't supposed to be (I think....), and followed Dale V's instructions on unbricking EXACTLY. I've now gone clear back to Eclair 4 times, ODIN'D AND HEIMDAL'D each and every time I've gone back to stock, AND I've used different links to different DL09, DL01, ED01, EB01, ED04, and on, and on, and on...and every time, my SD card partitions perfectly, I think (at least I don't get the E: can't format, file doesn't exist crap when I try to wipe dalvik cache, and only dalvik cache). As soon as I flash 7/17 CM7, the updates, gapps, glitch kernel, I have no partition. I can see the partition with file managers, but there's nothing there.
So, I totally feel your pain.
And while i'm here, why do I have a .apk called FOTAKILL in my files????
Peace!!

CM7.1 pre is an older build, correct? Where can I find it? Am I understanding that you install this one first and upgrade from there, or just leave it at this build? Anything else I should know if I want to try this out?
having the same problem mate my sd card is damage after i flashed miui
when i connected my phone to pc to test the connectivy it also cannot detect my phone btw my phone is sgs19000..and when i ejected the cable it says my sd cad is damaged..i know i safely remove it..but what is the proper way to safely remove it in miui because its a little different compare to stock/other ROms..
me too, but only on miui & 32gb c4 sundisk microsd on stock all normal. On all new kernel when my phone wake up I see this message.
I can't see problem on old kernel - try kernel neo09.
And maybe this help too - multimount app from market.
Have there been any troubles with the internal install of cm7 or is it just the SD card install.
That's the main issue that could "brick" it. Since it is the first release, there may be more issues. I've seen some crashes using Flixster, some hanging after sleep, and a need to reboot because wifi quits working.
It's usable but will definitely get better. Use caution with sdcards on this first release.
I believe it's actually the internal version that issue problem, not the SD card version.

It is actually BOTH versions. It doesn't matter if you are running off Internal or SD
..... DO NOT FORMAT YOUR SD CARD......
The issue seems to be that ANY type of format command issued from within the BETA CM7 actually formats the internal partitions thus rendering the device unable to boot.
There has been a fix posted but you don't want to go down that road unless absolutely necessary.

Thank you for the warning
thanks for the replies. I went back to the rooted stock for now even though I haven't had any problems with this rom. I just didn't want to brick my nt. At least we know that we can have custom roms now.

Hi
I have the problem that i cant install some apps or update them.
In the market i get the error while install to SD card.
this issue was not at any app but some.
I Tried recovery from CWM not working.
Clear any Cash Dalvic cache formating sd and external sd card. I get the same error.
I Installed an Original Rom and set Re-Partition but i get the same error with 2.3.6.
I solved my Problem with a pit while flashing 2.3.6 with Odin.
So i used the Original 2.3.6 3 files Version and set the Pit in the Attechmend.
Re-Partition set and the problem was fixed.
After that i installed a custom Kernel with Odin and Installed Omega 1.1 ICS in CWM all my problems are solved.
BUT NOTE YOU LOOSE ALL YOUR DATA
You don't have to loose all your data you just need to back it up properly first
yes but nobody can tell you where the problem come from.
Maybe you backup your problem.

Whats with the attitude? It doesn't matter what problem you have you never have to lose all your data... It takes 30 mins to set up a phone again from stock to being identical to how it was...
with this issue i reinstalled 2.3.6 and have the same issue. clear you can backup but maybe its not working after that.
there are a lot of people woth the same issue. and wipe didnt help!

when you dont have this issue its hard to explain.
Unnecessary post. Deleted.
I have had this problem with any ICS ROM I installed on my SGS II. I thought of simply unmounting the SD Card, try installing the Application or an Update for the Application, it always worked. Yes it does sound like there is too much to do each time you try installing a new app which will fail due to the mounted SD Card. But if the problem is unknown, and flashing a file to solve 1 problems breaks other two functions is a bigger and bitter problem, might as well try this simple solution.
Good Luck
For me it isn't the "sd-install" problem that occoured with cf-root since ICS 4.0.3 XXLPB.
But maybe it's one of the things that caused the problem.
Flashing back gingerbread, even a 5 part FW did NOT solve the problem, so i have a bad feeling about this...
First i thought the file "vold.stab" in folder "etc" that is responsible for the mounting, is just messed up.
But this file SHOULD be overwritten when flashing a 5 part FW... or not?
So i think my hardware is damaged...
But i never had any failure while flashing... the problem just happened suddenly...
Just unmount sd card and install

Please read my previous 2 posts. It's not this problem.
The last resort to force the phone to use the internal card again should be to flash a 5 part official FW while having no external card inserted. But even after that procedure it still don't recognizes the internal card for apps...
It uses the external only. When having no external inserted, i can install apps only to phone storage. It's similiar to the known ICS Beta problem, but with a card swap in addition. And it's permanent. Flashing the Gingerbread FW that was on my phone when i bought it also didn't fix the problem.
Normally it's like this:
Phone storage, about 2GB, path: /mnt, for apps
Internal SD, 11.5GB, path: /mnt/sdcard, for apps and data
External SD, card size, path: /mnt/sdcard/external_sd, for data only
For me it's like this now:
Phone storage, about 2GB, path: /mnt, for apps
Internal SD, 11.5GB, path: /mnt/sdcard, FOR DATA ONLY
External SD, card size, path: /mnt/sdcard/external_sd, FOR APPS AND DATA
It just happened suddenly about a week ago. And i got several problems related to this.
Sorry. I was in a hurry and Didnt read the post.

I just this beautiful piece of hardware yesterday, and could not wait to jump into the ROM scene, but now that i have i have a couple of questions.
First, whenever i try to download something now it says i need a sd card in the system. I have searched everywhere, on here, on google, and cannot find a fix or explanation.
I tried using the CM9 .02 and it seems to reboot constantly for me without telling it to. I am just wondering if anyone else had that.
Thanks.
You do need an SD card for roms. You can get some to download and install internally, but not most. If you do have an SD card try taking it out then putting it back in 0.2 is pretty finicky with SD cards. And as for the reboot issue you should reboot into recovery wipe data then reinstall. Also backup your apps before you wipe.
What I meant with the download thing, was let's say I wanted to download a picture, or apk or anything. Well when I need to download it, it says I need a sd card installed. Is that what you meant, or did you mean that i would need to install the rom onto the sd card?
