Heyy All, (sorry if this is in the wrong section!!!!)
I have a couple of questions.. I wanted to partition my SD card so that apps2sd would work. Here are the steps i took:
Did a nandroid backup
I copied all information from SD card to my computer
rebooted phone into recovery
chose partition SD card - Then upgraded ext2 to ext3
copied and pasted all files back onto the SD card
nandroid restored
in recovery I am able to access all files on the SD card but when i reboot my phone an icon comes up in the notification bar that looks like a SD card with an exclamation point with the error "Blank SD card or unsupported file system"
Can anyone tell me how to fix this? or why my files are no longer on the SD card when I reboot my phone?
Thank you all very much!
You must be running a Froyo-based ROM, which with the "normal" way of partitioning through any kind of recovery, Froyo doesn't recognize the FAT32 partition. You're going to have to search the Eris Dev forum for a thread by Conap called something like "Using old Apps2SD with Froyo".
FYI, no offense if you already know this, but did you know that Froyo's built-in Apps2SD doesn't require partitioning at all, although it has different limitations than the "old" style Apps2SD.
here's a link to the thread that roirraW "edor" ehT is referencing:

good luck and let us know if you need any other help!
Awesome thank you very much guys!!.. I actually figured it out thought. I just reformatted the card and got rid of the extension. Put all of my files back on and its as good as new!.. Thanks again
I have a problem with my SD card, not sure if partitioning will do anything for it, perhaps mine is corupted some how.
Running KF37, on Sunday my Eris froze up, any apps I had on my SD where unable to open or recognized. My phone was very slow and would not respond very well. I took my SD card out and plugged it into my computer and it would not open (I can't remember the error message) said something like "no contents" . After about an hour I was able to open my SD card and everything was there, so I backed it up. I placed it back in my phone and I still could not get my apps to work, those that are Apps2SD.
Due to the phone freezing up and the battery being extremely hot I had it replaced.
The new Eris, I flashed the latest Nonsensikal, it restored all my apps, but would not allow me to move them to SD. When I went under "manage apps" to list all my apps it showed "computing" instead of their file size. It would fail to move to SD every time. Then I would get a FC of the launcher and only have a black screen with no acess, I could at least see my notification bar and pull that down but that was all I could do on the phone...a reflash of Nonsensikal had no effect to fix this.
So, last night I install KF38, no FC's but I still can't move apps to SD, they fail each time.
I delete everything off my card, reformate it but it doesn't help.
I partitioned it (for the first time...not sure if I didn't it right but I beleive I followed the instructions) and I still can not get Apps2SD.
Any thoughts?

First, most of the time with Froyo ROMs you don't want to partition the SD card. If you do there's a special way to get it to work with Froyo, but the only reason you would want to partition it is for advanced reasons and nothing having to do with getting Froyo-native Apps2SD working.
Have you gone into Menu/Settings/CyanogenMod settings/Application settings and checked "Allow application moving"?

Thanks for responding
Yes, this is not the issue, though I wish it were. I have been running the Froyo rom's for a very long time.
As I tried to explain, life was going great for me and my Eris until Sunday when the little guy froze up and became very laggy. At that point my apps that were on my SD card no longer worked, and when I removed my SD card and plugged it into my computer it would not open for about an hour or so, I got an error message, something like "no content" or something like that.
I did not do anything to my SD card (other than copied the contents to my computer) when I plugged it into my new Eris. I still could not move apps to the SD.
Which at that point I thought that perhaps something happened to it and that I might need to partition it, which I did through recovery, but still no luck.
I am trying to do it via the thread link from this thread via gscripts and connecting it to my pc, but I can't seem to figure it out correctly.
I am not sure why apps wont work or move to the SD. I don't think it is corrupt or damaged because I can access everything on the card, save on it, play music from it, pictures, ect.
I don't want to use a different SD, I bought this 16GB Class 6 only for my phone and I use about 11GB so far.
Eagerly Waiting....
Thanks again.

Okay, since you said you weren't sure if you partitioned it right, did you choose "0" for the Ext2 and also for the Swap size? That's how you should normally do for use with a Froyo ROM.
I wish I had a Class 6 16GB to play with.
The only GScripts I can think of related to partitions are for if you partition your SD card some other way other than recovery, which is what would be necessary in order to arrange and access the partitions in a way that Froyo can deal with.
After repartitioning your SD card, can you use a Micro SD to USB adapter (not through the phone) to access the contents okay?
If you can but still can't on the phone, then your phone probably is damaged and needs replaced.
I am pretty sure it is the phone, and not my SD card. I tried 3 other SD's and none of them allowed me Apps2SD.
I did get it partitioned finally But that did not help my problem
I am going to try and reflash a ROM and see if that helps, I doubt it at this point.
I am able to flash in recovery but for some reason I can not install apps via Astro that are stored on the SD. I can access content on card but no app access...bizarre
I just unrooted and flashed flashback 2.1 (no sense to continue to root when this phone is going back in a couple days).
As for a replacement, it will be here Monday. Believe it or not, this new replacement, which was a brand new Eris in the box, I activated Wednesday night overheats as well Yesterday I picked it up off my desk and the back was very hot (just like it's predecessor on Sunday) and the awake time was more than 100%. So Asurion is sending yet again another Eris, this will be my 6 Eris. So I will see how this replacement goes.
As for the Eris, I called Verizon about Asurion who did offer me 2 alternatives to the Eris, the LG Vortex and the Moto Devour (not comparable IMO), the tech rep at Verizon I spoke with agree with me that both alternatives are not comparable and that I should have been given the option for the Incredible since it is the next version after the Eris in my same manufacture line. So I called Asurion back who then asked me to call Monday when my Eris arrives so they can verify with a higher supervisor to ship me out the Incredible. If I do end up with the Incredible I hope there are some good ROMS for it.

I'm sorry to hear about your rotten luck and that we weren't able to solve it. We'll be sorry to lose another Eris user but I hope they get you the Incredible. I haven't looked but I'm sure the Incredible has some comparable ROMs available for it. It certainly doesn't hurt that it's more powerful.
Good luck!
Alright guys I need some help... my Thunderbolt keeps saying my sd card is blank and needs to be formatted then it says external media is in an unknown state. I've seen that this has been an issue with past HTC phones but none of the solutions have worked. I have a 16GB Class 4 Sandisk and an 8 GB Class 6 Transcend. They both work on my Win7 PCs and on my old LG Ally Android.
I've tried reformatting them with the Ally, with Windows, with GParted. I've tried changing ROMs (originally had Skyraider Zeus before the issue started) then tried CM7 RC1.
Currently in the process of going back to stock unrooted in case I need to send it back for warranty repair/replacement. Although this is difficulty because it requires a recognizable micro sd. Hboot and Clockwork Recovery only recognize the card about 5% of the time and it seems to be based on luck.
Any suggestions on what the issue is or how to fix it?
Sorted
So I've had (give or take a few minor details) exactly the same problem as you. I hope by now you've sorted it, but just in case you haven't and for others like me looking for the answer, this is what I've found and it's worked me and several others.
Its just a matter of removing the battery! simple, but even though the phone is off you still need to remove the battery and the card. Then insert the card then insert the battery. Its worked for both my cards that previously gave the message.
Hope this helps
The Solution
bucklandnick, perfect thanks!! Tried two SD cards with same results. Simple and does the job!
Be wary of that, if it starts happening frequently, you're going to have to have the phone replaced. My last Bolt started spontaneously saying the card was ejected, and refusing to remount it. Pull battery and card, replace, boot up, reads for a few then ejects. A few times I had to remove it, boot up, shut down, reinsert card, boot up again. it ended up corrupting my card and I damn near lost everything on it. If it happens more than a few times, contact VZW ASAP about getting a replacement, and back that sucker up!
Thanks for viewing this post.
I have been encountering a weird problem for some weeks. Whenever i reboot my optimus, memory card isn't recognized. No used/free space counter in settings, it's as if it just isn't there. Then, after some time "preparing sd card" appears in the notification center.
But the problem here is it isn't definite when will it appear- it can be after 5 minutes after booting or 7 hours. its just random. had been encountering it in cm7 for some time, thought ics would fix this problem (wiping everything). Worked like this for two days in ics.
Until tomorrow afternoon.
Now it just isn't recognizing it.
That's why i opened up my first thread.
Seems like the sd card read initialize settings are messed up. Used to be A flasher, but flashed my first ROM in two months, two days ago.
Ps: oh, and when it was getting recognized, the size of .androidsecure in root of the sd card wasn't getting analyzed, in windows it was.
Share your similar experiences, thoughts and let's come up with a solution to this one.
I think this is a hardware problem...
I believe by hardware you mean sd card. maybe but it works perfectly in windows pc, as well as Nokia phones.
Maybe the card holder (which, well, holds card in place) is acting up.
A point to be noted- other cards work flawlessly, and my card doesn't works in other phones. So, must probably (!) The memory card is the culprit.
Bought a new one altogether.

Hi,
Over the last week, I've had two SD cards die on me:
The first card I've had since I got my i9300 S3 (13 months). Prior to last week, it worked flawlessly (KomputerBay 32GB class 6). Then suddenly after rebooting I see an SD card damaged error. After trying chkdsk and fsck it looks like the card is certainly damaged but was able to recover some of the files.
Thinking it was just bad luck and the card dying, I purchased a 32gb class 10 Lexar card brand new. In the meantime, I used a 4GB Samsung SD card that came with the S3 for approximately 5 days and it worked fine with no errors or corruption.
With the new card, I copied over all my files, music etc. After an overnight using the phone, some calling etc. I rebooted the phone only to get the same error. Windows didn't even recognise the card let alone recover it. fsck likewise. Did a full format again and restored some files from original backup, it's been less than 24 hours and so far so good but I am not ready to relax just yet.
I'm really baffled as to what could be causing it as the card seems only to fail after a reboot. Prior to then, the card displays as mounted in system settings and files are accessible. The only other strange thing I've noticed is that when playing music/podcasts and turning off the screen the playback jitters for a moment or two before returning to normal. This started quite recently. I'm using UltimaROM 13.0 at the moment with Boeffla kernel. Have disabled all SD related optimisations and have no CPU or GPU overclocking or undervolting. I've been using Ultima for months with no major config changes recently.
I'm at the point now where I am almost scared to reboot! Last time I rebooted I unmounted the SD just in case. The only other possible difference in behaviour is that as I was travelling I had my phone on charge all night and although I can't be 100% sure rebooted with the phone charging (though again, its not the first time I've rebooted while charging). I've googled this far and wide and most SD related issues seem to be caused by the card randomly unmounting. I've never seen this in my instance.
Any ideas on what this might be or what I could do to troubleshoot further? I don't want to restore to stock, unroot, reset counters etc. and return to Samsung unless I can be at least reasonably confident its a hardware issue.
Thanks,

Do you mean http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906058 ? If so, yes though the key difference for me is that my card doesn't seem to randomly unmount like most reports indicate. Also, it's very recent. Don't also see any possible solutions in there unless I'm missing something?
New to the forum, I did a search but came up empty, I have a rooted LG G# 35B rooted stock rom. it has a 128gb samsung sd card I had it for at least 6 months, no issues, last week it started unmounting my SD card by itself and unless I restart the phone it wont mount again, I did a factory reset and formated the card 3 times then mounted the card on the phone again and same issue, it will not go away also starts crating and deleting .txt files one called SNP_LOG .txt because of the modified nature of the phone I cannot do the OTA I have the 5.1.1 lollipop, also I have put on an 8G SD card and a 32GB same issue.
Try downgrading via the 10B TOT to try to verify if the problem is software or hardware. By your description I'm wondering of software but that's just a guess.

My wife's stock phone had this issue on 48A. I downgraded it to 10B and then took OTA's back up to 35B. It still had the issue. Went back to 10B and still had the issue. IIRC there is a post about this issue on the main LG G3 forum in case you are interested.
I have the insurance on my devices so 3 replacement devices later she got a phone that works again. Good luck!
I'm on 46A and had a similar issue with a Samsung 64 GB card I have been using for about a year. Recently it started unmounting and remounting out of nowhere. Eventually, the phone claimed that it was corrupted. I opened up a file viewer and it seemed as though it had reformatted it. Since I backed it up at the start of all this, I put it in my computer to restore the data. However, all of the files that were on there before were still there and in-tact. I tried a 16 GB card I had sitting around to no avail. After doing some Googling, it seems that these symptoms are apparently a relatively common hardware issue with the G3 (which sucks, because this phone was still doing great after 2 years).
TL;DR - you may want to try different SD cards if you have any. That will help narrow down the issue and whether or not it's software or hardware. If I find any more info on the similar issue I'm having, I'll post it here.
Has anyone tried something like deoxit on the sd card when they start going bezerk?
I wonder if the card or the slot contacts get dirty or microscopic corrosion.
I use deoxit on alot of contacts and it works well.

still cannot get it to work, also I keep getting this messages for creating an snp_log.txt and then deleting the file I search for it and erase it and it keeps doing it, also a DelMe file 1-21 keeps pooping up
running lg g3 35b-xdeb sdcard formated exfat, I had this issue happening 6 months ago with a 64gb sandisk card till the card become "unwriteable" to any device or pc. I can no longer write to the card and it is readable but pretty much useless. I replaced with a 128gb sandisk card and all went well. Problem is starting again. everytime I reboot the phone and use a passcode to log in, it unmounts and mounts once. I removed xposed and many other apps still to no avail. I did read somewhere that the card needs a "label" on the volume for lollipop. .I did noticed my card was unlabled. I placed a label on my sdcard but it still is happening. I have also read that backing up the card and doing a complete "non quick" format my help out. doing a backup on my card now. let ya know the results. I did place another 128gb card in my phone and the problem still existed. I tried formatting another card to ext4 but it still was happening. I do feel my issue is software related.
incase your unsure if this is happening to you all you need to do is launch the camera app and it will ask you to "save photos to sdcard" whenever it unmounts the sdcard.
Does anyone know any log files i can examine? since my phone can be rebooted and sit for hours and then when I log in with a passcode it unmounts perhaps I can see which app if it is an app that may be doing this. I am on lollipop but I did run the sdcard fix for kit kat on it. maybe a script still exists. I really like this phone and would love to sovle this. I'm wondering if it is an issue with the internal memory that is causing an unmounting and remounting of volumes. would love to solve this.
update:
So I tried backup the sdcard to a hardrive using windows 10. kept failing on files. I decided to try backing up using a linux-ubuntu dist. when it would fail on the files it would actually unmount the whole drive. can't remember the error exactly something to do with no enpoint. I started select directories one by one to copy. I came to an assumuption. the only directories with corrupt files were files that I copied from the internal memory to the sdcard. my tool of choice used to be using es-file explorer. I hate making blind assumptions especially if i'm wrong but that was definitely a common denominator.
So I kept getting "sdcard unmounted" and "sdcard mounted" after reboot and login. I decided to do a full wipe but not before doing a backup of my rom. (just for testing purposes and data backup) I tried nandroiding to the internal memory which had 18gig left and it kept failing saying not enough space. so I backed up to external_sd which worked fine. I then decided to do a format of internal memory from twrp. restored backup and an earlier backup and still mounting issues. I then installed latest stable of cm12.1 and it... worked. don't know why but I decided to install xdabeb 3.1.1 6.0 mm stock image. wow does it work great. all my needs were met. xposed for 6.0 sdk23, tether, g3 toolbox mmbeta. awesome slim down stock. no sdcard mount issues with original card. I actually think the external_sd mount issue is actually a byproduct of an issue with the internal memory. and I believe cm12.1 install might have done some kind of fsck(filesytemcheck) my pipe dream? my incorrect guess? prolly. give it a try. cm12.1 installs so quickly it can't hurt.
WARNING!
DO NOT FORMAT INTERNAL MEMORY IF YOU HAVE NOT COPIED /TWRP BACKUP FOLDER FROM INTERNAL MEMORY TO A SDCARD OR USBDRIVE IF YOU NEED IT.
you were warned (sorry bout the caps....felt it was needed)
I'm seeing this problem as of yesterday, and it started after I took the 49A OTA, but I do not believe that was the issue. I'm wondering if it's more because the phone is almost 2 years old? I don't take the SIM nor the SD Card out at all. I did drop my phone last week. It was in a case and it landed flat on it's back, but I wonder if that still might have caused an issue and it just happen to coincidentally rear it's ugly head yesterday when I took the 49A OTA? 10B and all subsequent OTAs exhibit the same issue.
Going to take it into Cell Phone Repair today and get an estimate to see how much it will cost to get it fixed. Would like them to fix the USB port as well as it appears to be loose and I have numerous connect/disconnect issues with the PC so I have to be VERY careful when flashing so as to not bump or jostle the cable or phone while connected to the PC.
Cell Phone Repair gave me a quote to replace the SIM/SD Card slot of around $90 USD. They did say there was a 50% chance that the phone might not turn on if they do the work and that would be the end of it. I'm going to leave it alone.
Now, one thing I have noticed is, the card ejects usually when I launch an app. From what I can tell, it only appears to happen once for the app. Yesterday, the Facebook app seemed to do it. Today, my Twitter app did it.
I'm wondering if it's due to permissions? I wonder if the OTA changed something in regards to the access allowed to the external SD card and that's causing it to eject the card, and then remount it with the proper permissions? Usually, it seems to take a bit of time to remount, but it usually does, and then from that point, I don't see it happen for that app anymore.
Any ideas on this?
UPDATE: I just launched Twitter again and it didn't eject the card. I launched Facebook as well and same thing, no dismount. But I then launched Google+ app and it ejected the SD card. Still waiting to have it remount the SD card. Like I said, sometimes it's quick. Other times, it takes some time to remount the card. But this seems to be the issue and I'm wondering if that's normal? It happens with any SD card I put in.

My wife's SIM slot stopped working about a month ago. I got an RMA on LG's site to send it to them for a repair quote. They wanted about $75 to repair or $150 for a complete refurb. We didn't have it repaired and then sent it back. We're hoping to buy two new non-contract unlocked phones in the near future. Probably the HTC 10 Unlocked or the Google Pixel XL 128 GB, but that latter isn't too likely given the very high price combined with its unavailability.
My wife is unfortunately using her old flip phone for now.
Mainly wanted you to know LG's quote as I'd be more comfortable having LG repair it than someone else, I just didn't want to put more money into phones that I'll be looking to replace soon anyway, and with the Swappa selling price of the G3 being only $50 more than that repair cost.

Thanks. $150 is what Verizon quoted me for a replacement G3. My issue is, I do not want to buy another phone. I actually love this phone. I'm comfortable with it and it does what I need. And with one daughter in college and the other getting ready to start college next year, I need to save money and I do NOT want to be paying more money a month for a new phone. With this phone just having gotten off contract, by VZW bill dropped $20/month which is nice. That's $240 saved over the course of a year. Might seem like peanuts to some, but for me, every little bit helps.
I've flashed back to 10b again to test out the SD card because it's really annoying that right after the 49A OTA, it started happening. I just can't see that it was already bad but never showed, or that the 49A OTA caused the issue to show up. I'm just wondering if there's something with the 49A OTA that causes this issue. Other people have reported to me that they experienced the exact same issue as me with the SD card constantly ejecting. Maybe the slot IS bad, but it's not as sensitive to it except with the 49A.
I had thought I saw the same issue on 10b, but now for the past couple of hours, I've ran on 10b and haven't seen one issue with the SD card. So, I'm now slowly going up the OTA chain until I can get back to 48A where it last worked without any issues and see what happens there.
I have verified that the SD card is fine. Or at least, it appears so. I copied all the files off of it, did a format, chkdsk, etc and nothing comes up bad about the card.
So, the drama continues on with my phone!
Well, it's been confirmed via another user where vzw told him the latest 49a ota is not compatible with our phone in some instances in regards to the SD card. Last night I flashed back to 10b and I'm back on 48a now and no SD card issues. Zero. I've been going over 12 hours now and not a single unmount. Thanks Verizon. Nice testing. ?
I'm curious if those on 49a not expediting issues with their SD cards if they are on the K or non-k model of the g3?
