[Q] Big problem with X10i... - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
For a couple of times now, my X10i can't find my SD card after rebooting my device.
It says: 'Process system doesn't respond'
I only download market apps, and install it on my internal memory.
My X10 runs on Rendeiro's 'Scamble' Rom with .54 base band.
My SD card is a Traxdata 16GB Class 6.
And there is no possibility to let my phone recognise the SD card...
Maybe it's a little bit unclear for you, but maybe someone has had the same problem, or someone has a solution?
Thanks!
Boris

Can you format your SD card and try? May be faulty card?
Sometimes format and using the SD card worked for me!

No I have several cards (Kingston 4GB Class 4, Sandisk 8GB Class 4 and Traxdata 16GB Class 6) and all have been formatted in FAT-32 with 2048 clustersize and automatic cluster size. System fault keeps coming. I first thought it was a faulty app, but it even happens when I don't install it (Absolute system root tool 1.7.3)

Can you make full recovery backup and try it on another rom.may be it's rom related?

Do you have any special software installed on your x10 which may be interacting weirdly with the SD filesystem?
app2sd works differently across ROMs (some require a special partition), but you are not using app2sd, and nothing I can see would cause a System process failure.
Have you tried mounting and reading/writing to the SD card via adb with the phone connected to a PC?

Yes that always works fine. Maybe it has something to do with apps like sd increase, setCPU or sysctl?

[TEST]possible solution to unmount sd card!

hi guys i'm trying to find a solution for sd cards unmount on lg optimus one!!!i have a kingston 8gb cl4 and i had a 4-5 remount a day before trying this:
format with windows,choose file system fat32 and in allocation unit size choose 64 kb(should be the maximum) and give a name!
after this i had no problem for 5 days: no remount no reboot!!!
i would share this because it could be a solution....so anyone have problem may can test it!!!
there is a solid solution. buy a class 4+ micro sd..
but, kudos to you! i have a class 4+ micro sd so i can't test it out, but i'm sure others will.
btw this will kill all ur data in sdcard. backup is needed

So easy if it isn't your money that will be spent
BTW, I have a class 4 SD and it unmounts regulary, so class 4 doesn't really work.
Thanks for the tip dongimin2, I'll try it out.
before i bought kingston class 4 i had the original microsd that was shipped with optimus one and i never had problems!the problems started when i bought kingston memory!....howewer.....another day without a remount or reboot!
If speed is the problem (assuming it is), then I bet reiserfs solves the problem. That is if someone can get it to work with Android Just my opinion though.
EDIT: reiserfs for Android exists. Can someone port it for the O1? xD
8gb cl6 never once had unmount. Previously on original card, unmounts several times a day

with me happens the opposite...with original sd never had an unmount....with the cl4 8gb several!howewer i'm passed a week without unmounts!
And... what about having NO SD AT ALL? Is it possible? Does it still crash the phone?
Can someone test it (I don't own the device, sorry)?

Erm, this could really solve the unmount problem, I guess.
@kpbotbot reiserfs is goddamn fast..i have been it for past 5 years and not a single corrupt file ever..(MS needs to learn) having a2sd on reiserfs will be quite good and how abt using FAT and not FAT32 for saving data on SD..havent tried it but shudnt it work ??? Both fs have same 4GB filesize limits

But... Do android need an SD card (or an internal memory like the nexus S) to work properly? Or is it really possibile to boot without the SD

Have you tried using the old FAT on your SD? Afaik, max sizes for FAT is about 260~. I'm going to install either Debian Testing or aptosid tonight and I'm going to try out reiserfs
On the relevant side: I hope someone ports it on our kernel :/
I formatted the card from the phone , but nothing changed...i have root + milk os 1.0 touch lag kernel , before rooting + milk os kernel , i hadn't sd unmounts...i did a nandroid backup . Should i restore it ? , but i'll loose the overlock + no touch lag.. what should i do ?
Just an update: I formatted the SD card as the original poster suggested, and it did reduced the umounts considerably, but not totally.
I stigg get a umount every 5 days or so, which is surely better than twice a day
Looking forward to Gingerbread...

Why does my phone say sd card damaged

Im running miui 1.7.15 and i get this msg on my status bar saying damaged sd card and then it recommends formatting which i did but nothing changed except I lost my pictures and music .... it happened after i used the super build.prop tweaks .... can someone please help me fix this, thank u in advance
Plug ur phone to a computer if it detects ur sd card format using windows utility if it dont detect then u should use third-party software like acronis disk director....it's not free but it has worked for me in the past..good luck

I had this happen to me before on cm7. I reformatted it in windows (not quick format but full) and it seemed to work. But a few days later I got the SD damaged alert again. After playing this game about 3 times I decided to try SD formatter 3.0 to wipe the card and then I just booted into recovery and formatted it (seeing as it was wiped clean already) and it worked like a charm. SD formatter is free so I'd suggest giving it a try.
Good luck!

When you get this message its actually referring to your external sd(emmc).Don't format because It'll format your internal sd card which really sucks if you apps and music, etc.Try opening your ex-sd (emmc)on root explorer on your phone if you can.There's corrupt info on it I'm almost sure and wipe file that the has time stamps from like the year 1969.If you can't then use a microSD adapter and use your computer.Hope this helps.

Eh, I had this happen and formatted..it did my external sd card not the internal.
I've also never used CM7 or any other GB rom so i think it might have something to do with the SD card read ahead scripts that most ROMs are using nowadays.
Closing down thread as this is a duplicate thread. You already have a thread on this open.

[Q] Problems with 32GB card

I just put my 32GB class 4 Adata memory card into my Legend and it won't mount. Is there something I can do about it ? I'm running Cyanogenmod7. I get "SD card safe to remove" notification upon boot.
Try first to farmat that card into windows as FAT32 (full format, not quick)
It might be a good idea to boot into clockwork mod and format and partition memory card with ext and fat32.
sent from my legend using ICS 4.0.4 ALPHA 4.
Doesnt work after full format...
on you're pc is it working?

try to use chkflsh on your PC to test, wether all sectors are ok. May be, there are some defects.
It works perfectly in my Sansa Clip mp3 player.
alligator, I use Ubuntu, do you know any linux tool for that ?

Did your SD Card work before or is this the first time you've tried it?
If its your first time, it is mostly likely that the SD card is not compatible. Some SD cards are not compatible on the Legend so your best solution is to buy one that is. Or if you are pretty sure it works then you can always try reflashing your rom.
If it worked before then the best solution is to reflash the rom. I had to do it once and the issue was solved.
Good luck

sd ext fix for xperia go ONLY TESTED ON GO ICS

hi all i have been very annoyed with sonys attitude to getting the sd card mounting wrong even after speaking to them online and over the phone i got the same reply ... this is not a fault with sony this is something you will need to contact the app devs. unhappy with this i tried fixes found on the www all came up with the same problem it all works fine on the phone but not on pc so after a bit of work i think i have a solution
the vold.fstabs in the /etc needs to be tweaked as with all others on the net but this one works with the pc as well.
has been tested on my device if you replace it with the file attached (root access required ) after renaming original to .bak .
reboot device if you get sd error on reboot please delete and restore orginal and post your finding
please note i am not a dev i have some knowledge but just a hobbyist
i hold no responsibility MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP

Hi.
Is this a bug on all Xperia GO?
I don't have any issue with my SD card on my phone, everything are working like it should i believe.
Could you please explain what kind of problem this is? The SD EXT card i believe is the extra memory card you insert into the phone. If so, i don't have any problem with that one.
Thanks in advance

this is a problem with all go and as far as i know all xperia 2012 phones where the internal memory is partitioned to system and user the user is then mounted as sd card meaning that after 4gb no more app data can be installed etc. this means that you SD CARD is unusable for apps and app data (apps2sd) will try to install to sd card but go to internal memory

Uhu, I messed up.
I did everything you said, but right after restarting, some apps (usbotg, media service etc) stopped working and some apps as well, I think they were in internal storage.
One thing, as you were saying, the ext_sd will be sdcard and the sdcard will be ext_sd?
[Xperia Go] are the mountpoints the same in JB?
If I switch my internal and external sd mountpoints using ICS, will a upgrade to JB using SUS overwrite the(modified) vfold.fstab?
Isuspect the upgrade will unroot the phone
can i use in xperia go JB st27i? i tried, but unsuccessfully

Have I completely destroyed my SD Card??

Hello dear XDA people!
I'm pretty noobish when it comes to android tweaking, developing and stuff like that, I have rooted my phone (LG optimus L9 p76920h) but can't install any custom roms. But this isn't the problem.
The problem arose when I decided I wanted to play FIFA14 on my phone more than anything in my life. After many hours, I decided to partition my SD card and use the Link2SD method to have enough space for this game. I followed the steps on this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning but now my sd card seems to be completely screwed. I didn't hit apply after the 'format' command in minitool and accumulated all the tasks (make 20g fat32 primary, 10g ext4, 1g swap) and then hit apply. Now Windows does not recognize the sd card (it can see it but I cant explore it without formatting it, but windows nor any other program has been able to format it). The phone shows the 'blank sd card' error. I tried to command the prompt method, formatting a bunch of applications, but nothing works.
Have I completely screwed my sd card? or is there any hope? Since i followed the steps correctly, why did this happen?? I don't mind buying another sd card just so I can partition it well and play FIFA :angel:
If someone can help me I would be beyond happy. :good:
Keep it on safe place,,,
