I had this strange notification appear after I removed a couple of system apps with ROM Toolbox (Thinkfree and Yahoo Finance). When I tap it, nothing happens.
I tried to clear cache and it disappeared for a while, but only to return.
Does anyone know what it means? How to get it to go away would be cool to.
My phone has GR2.0 running.
Try removing your SD card and then boot.
Looks like the phone is not able to read you sd card.
Definitely.. I think it's a SD card problem.. The logo says though..

The phone is definitely reading the SD card, it can access the files and my apps load at start up.
I attempted a couple things. I turned the phone off, took out the SD Card and started it up again, initially the notification wasn't there while it was doing the SD card scan, then it re-appeared again after a duration.
Then I tried doing a factory reset as well as clear cache, this had the same outcome. My next step would be to reinstall the firmware.
Could it mean the SD card is damaged in some way?

omg now my phone cant boot up stuck at the android logo. again.
Use a microsd adaptor so that you can access your card using a card reader. If you have to borrow it from a friend. The same thing happened to me and I just copied everything to my PC, formatted the card, put it back in the phone, and just for assurance, formatted it using the custom recovery. Now everything works perfectly fine.
yep. use a microsd card adaptor. if you don't have one then buy.
i think your problem is on sd the sd card.
i inserted a broken sd card once on my phone, one time it boots up and sometimes it wont. but when it do boots up, my phone freezes whenever i try to access the contents of that sd card.
What SD card you have in your phone?
Good investment should be Sandisk or Lexar 8 Gb 4x.
So I'm using the USB mass storage to copy my files and such then I accidentally pulled out the USB cable without safety and pressing the 'turn off USB storage'. Then something weird happen. Some of my apps I just installed like 5-10 mins earlier missing. Then I thought I just download it back.
The next day I took a picture its like 20 of it and I watch them in gallery. Then my phone switch off and I turn it back on. All my apps and photos I just took 5 mins earlier is gone. Only the apps and photos I took before the accident happen were still there. Than I thought now I need to format my SD card to fix this.
So I cut all my stuff again to pc via USB storage. Then I go to cwm recovery and wipe all data. Then I try rebooting my phone but then all my apps and stuff are still there like normal its not supposed to be like that because I just formatted my SD card 1 min ago.
Then I try formatting my SC card again in the cmw recovery and I noticed after I choose wipe data factory reset it said failed, error or something like that and said SD card not mount. I've try formatting it in so many ways via PC, and in the settings>privacy but it just that my SD card can't be formatted.
Please help me, and I'm using Mik cm7 rom btw
your sdcard might be corrupted. are you using the sdcard that came with the phone?

No I'm using a new 8gb memory card that I bought separately from the market
use amon ra recovery to format it, or try via adb (u can google for how to)
Any other way?
A weird issue manifested on my phone today ... the phone started, upon boot up, to spontaneously reboot. It would boot up within 30s, at which point I unlock it an pulldown the notifications screen (to see what was going on).
I saw several instances of "media scanner running" occurring - over the course of various trials I would see the following messages alternate on the top status bar.
Media scanner running... (system storage)
Media scanner running... (SD card)
Media scanner running.... (USB storage)
Media scanning completed​
...while below in the notification areas I'd see the "Media scanning", "Media scanning...USB storage" etc messages periodically appear.
The phone would first lockup, then reboot perhaps 3 out of every 4 startups. Several of those times the last message I saw prior to the lockup was Media scanner running.... (USB storage).
I pulled out the 32FB Sandisk SD card, then tried booting the phone several times, and this time no issue - booted up fine, no lockups nor auto-reboots. Note though that I've had the SD card installed for over a week, and the problem only cropped up today.
There were two SD card-related changes I'd made last night: 1) used ES File Explorer to cut/paste ~400MB of video from the onboard camera storage to the SD card and 2) copied 1.75GB of MP3 files to the SD card.
The MP3s I had copied to /media/music (direct from laptop to SD, using a microSD-to-USB adapter), while the videos (MP4s, created by GS2 camera app) were moved by ES File Explorer to /DCIM/Camera.
So at the moment my phone is working fine (4 clean boots), though sans SD card - any ideas why "media scanner" may be choking upon scanning the SD card? Should I move the SD content to a different directory, or just kill media scanner?
I've seen issues like that but usually with no name low quality SD cards, with them either bad or modified to register as larger.
I'd backup what you have on the card and format it using the phone. If it's still giving you issues try it on a computer and download a program to check the memory sectors to make sure there are no read write errors.
A good free one is ariolic diskscanner. Can't remember if it can scan SD cards though, though I'd be a little surprised if it couldn't.
You don't want to disable media scanner, not even sure if that's possible. Many things require it to be working.

thanks for the tip - I mounted the SD on my PC and backed everything up, then tried deleting the ~2GB Media directory ... no dice, still locked/booted on the first boot up. Going to next clear the other large diretory (DCIM) and see what happends, and then finally reformat the card entirely. Will report back...
so i wiped and formatted the card in the phone ... rebooted several times with the newly empty card, and so far the lock/boot issue hasn't recurred.
Copying all files save the media stuff onto the card, will repeat the test; and then finally will put the media back and see how things go; will report back.
Good deal. Hope that's the last time it gives you trouble.

This is so weird. I've had this problem as of yesterday.
I'm having the exact same issue... but with a Galaxy S 4G.
I tried re-flashing my phone but I realized it was the SD card causing the problem because the internal phone storage scans just fine.
I've tried 2 different SD cards (one Samsung, one Kingston) - backed up my files on my Mac and tried formatting both cards, putting the files back on the SD cards and booted the phone.
Same problem was happening.
The phone boots up fine without the SD card but I am at loss what to do considering most of the apps I use need the SD card to run.
Try formatting them using the phone.
Could be a corrupted file on your SD card. If after the format the phone works fine, put the files back on one at a time and see if that's what's messing it up.
Try also changing the format type. Seems androids like fat32 a little better.

so far so good ... went a day w/o any spontaneous reboots, thought I do want to do a few more startup trials, but fwiw, formatting the SD card (in the phone) seems to have done the trick.
I do realize now that when I first inserted the card in the phone, I just started using it, I didn't bother formatting it - doh!

question: how do I format the external SD ?

Same problem on Samsung Galaxy Ace
I'm experiencing the exactly same problem on my rooted Samsung Galaxy Ace (Gingerbread 2.3.6).
Reboots with SD card mounted and working fine with SD card unmounted.
I'm using Link2SD with a 2nd ext2 partition, and when SD card is unmounted, all Linked apps work perfectly fine.
I've tried removing and re-inserting SD card and also recreating mount scripts to no use.
What might be the possible causes of this problem???:crying:
Please help :fingers-crossed:
The other night I was trying to finish rooting my Nook, and think that I may have done something that I shouldn't have in the midst of my sleep deprived night. My best guess is that I did a format on the Nook instead of my sd card. I woke up and turned it on, and it asked for a factory reset, which I did. Then when trying to setup the device a message would pop up that said restart required your NOOK encountered a problem hat requires a system restart. Then when I hit okay another message shows that states the device could not restart. I managed to get to the main screen, but the messages still come up when turning the device off and then back on.
When I connect it to my pc, it no longer shows that the device or sd card that's inside are connected. One other thing I noticed is that when going into settings, under other storage available it says 0.00B free of 0.00B. I am able to connect to the internet and use it as well as the other apps loaded, but when trying to save anything off the internet a message shows that reads, an SD card is needed, even though there is an sd card in and the notifications shows SD card inserted. The SD card also shows when viewing my memory.
Can anyone help me with this issue?
Any help or ideas of what I could could possibly do to get this back to full functionality would be greatly appreciated.

This was exactly what I needed. Thank you!
I'm using S2E on my HTC Aria on CyanogenMod 7.2 for quite a long while. However I've never removed my SD card since then. Anyhow, today I accidentally removed my SD card from the phone without switching it off or anything. My phone went to black and does not respond till I pull the battery.
However after I boot it back up, all my apps were gone. There's not even Android Icons to show that the apps were installed but have no data thus becoming null. It is totally gone and my phone booted up as new as I just flashed CM7.2 with no GApps.
As much as I know my phone did not factory data reset because I've flashed in GApps, and after reset, it should still be in there. My phone did not detect my SD card but I did not bother and went straight to hard resetting my phone and reformatting my SD card and start getting back my apps all over again.
Now that I know I mustn't pull out my SD card at anytime I wish to, my question is....
Can I have my phone in USB Mass Storage mode while using S2E? I've not tried that and I'm not willing to download my apps all over again thus I'm asking before I do so.By right USB Mass Storage kinda unmount the SD card from your device while it is ON. Logically thinking, all my apps will be gone again. However, am I right? :silly:

Use link2sd...
With that, only the fat partition gets mounted, and the ext partition (I assume that's the format of your partition) will remain mounted on your phone...
