This is the second time this has happened to me... I restarted my phone and most of my apps I've installed in the internal sd card were missing. Once I install them and reopen, my saved games are there tho. Just a pain to have to redownload them all.
Only thing I remember doing prior to this happening was replace my 32gb sd with a 64gb.

That might be link to it that never happened with my 64GB but I didn't put in my old 16GB cause I lost it with the evo 4g

Okay thanks. I was afraid the 64gb was causing problems tho I couldnt think of a way it would.

I had the same problem, only I did not switch cards at all. The only thing that I can think of is that the battery died. When restarted, all apps were missing that were on the external memory. Any fix?

I've had the same issue. I installed GTA 3 from the play store and downloaded its contents. I wiped data and flashed a new rom and GTA 3 files are no longer there. Saved games are missing too.

was anything else erased or just your picture/movies? Has your sdcard been ejected without being unmounted first? I have no idea how else this could have happened.
Sent from my Eris using XDA App
just pictures and movies and pics. The card was never removed
you know ive had this problem before on my eris and on 2 previous phones that werent androids and Verizon told me that either a.) my phone/sd card got overheated or b.) while charging it there could have been a surge
that actually make sense about both thanks for the input
This happened to me last night. I lost a lot of videos, pics and music randomly. A lot of pics have an error and all the pics I lost say it is a file of 64kb. But when I try to open I get a file error. Has this happened to anyone else? Could it be the phone or the memory card? I had this card on my OG EVO with no problems.
See if you can view the files on another memory card. If so, then the memory card has gone bad.
Wait the file size went down to 64kb? Yea the memory card may be corrupt.

damn man... that sucks
i was having issues with my SD in the evo4G so i started backing it up to my computer weekly just in case.
Sorry to hear about your loss of media
If the card has gone bad will reformatting it possibly fix it or do I need a new one?
Used to happen constantly on my hero! Wipe your SD card and it should be good. Back when I had my hero it would happen when my phone would die but once I wiped it a couple of times, took it out and put it into my computer and made sure everything was off and it was good. Hope it works for you.

Doesn't hurt to try that and see if it works... If the files work on other cards or even on your comp, it is safe to say it has gone bad. But like I said, it doesn't hurt to try it.

Hey guys.
So I went to work today and while I was on break, my phone acted up a couple of times. Once, the mobile internet cut itself off and I had to restart my phone to get it to turn back on.
Then when I get off of work, my phone isn't reading my SD card.
I tried unmounting and then mounting it back several times, but no luck getting anything.
So then I hooked it into a card reader on my computer and all the files show up, then suddenly the computer got an error saying that the driver wasn't recognized and then stopped reading it.
What is the problem and how can this be fixed?
I can even open Root Browser app and it shows all the files on my SD card. All pictures, music, videos, etc.
But for some reason when I go to gallery, music, or whatever else... it won't pull up.
Back it up to pc if u can then reformat it to fat32

I wish I could. My computer will read it but only for a few seconds and then says something about a driver error.
I'm guessing the card may be going bad?
Can u mount phone to pc?

Just tried doing this, and surprisingly, yes. So I got it all copying to the computer now.
It just doesn't make sense to me that it can mount like this and my files still be on the card and not read when I go to pull them up. Especially when I go to Root Browser and I can see all the files.

So I copied all files to my computer, formatted the SD card again, put all files back onto the SD, and still have the same problem.
Note that my phone is reading the SD in Root Browser; however, when I go to my gallery, music, videos, etc.. my phone tells me that there are none and acts as if the SD card is empty. I even go to SD and Storage and it says my card is empty, but it's not.

You're going to need a new one bud. There is definitely something wrong with it physically if you have done aall of that and it is still doing that.

Just wiped my phone completely and restored my most recent backup and now my phone reads it just fine, so problem fixed.
Undoubtedly my phone got set to some strange setting while it was in my back pocket that I never knew my phone had.
Strange. =\
Thanks for the help guys. I suppose if you see anyone or if you run into this problem in the future, here's how it can be fixed.

You didn't use quick format, did you? If so, try formatting it without quick format.

I had the same problem, I did the same thing as well. I noticed it happen when I downloaded a free game app from Amazon App store. I had to uninstall it b/c it kept on force closing. Soon after I had this SD problem.

The thing is... I haven't downloaded or changed anything at all with my phone in over 2 weeks. Either it tripped out or something happened to where a setting changed while it was in my back pocket.
Glad I fixed it.
I had a feeling it was probably a setting issue that happened, so I got the idea to restore from a backup to get back original settings and BAM!

Did you get it from Amazon? If so it probably is a bad card. I've seen quit a few people who got a bad batch from ordering on Amazon. Try what Wolf said, backup and format

Tried that. Several times. Been having similar problems with my sd card. Its a samsung 64gb class ten. I cant find any of my downloads. I am a noob but I think the sd swap does something to the card. Only causes a problem if you flash a new rom (or reflash same) that doesn't have swap.

Aren't you supposed to delete a few files when returning from a swap? Though I read that.

I slow reformatted mine and the error came up again after a few hours. Decided to just buy a new one so hopefully the card was just crapping out and not the phone. If end up posting again it must be the phone. Hope you don't hear from me again in this thread lol
Im having the same exact issue as you. Its very annoying

Sandisk 64GB SDXC which happens to be Made in China is crap and confirmed by comments made by others on Amazon saying the same. Pay a little extra for Samsung 64GB SDXC and have the peace of mind.
Same issue for me and I bought my sdcard from Best Buy also...I am running Jelly Bean ROM B7. The card is only 2 months old so I doubt the card went bad, this has to be some app/process that is effecting the sdcard swap program. Very annoying and reboot of phone resolves issue but I have to reboot every hr, it is unreasonable. It only started happening to me since B7 which i installed about 7 days ago. I may trying going back to B6 which i was using with no issues for a while.
I'm just waiting for my Sandisk 64gb ultra cl10 to die bought it about 3 weeks ago so will see glad it has a 10year/lifetime warranty. Plenty of people are having same problems with these cards and not just in phones. Easy way to tell if its bad/going bad is to format it and stick it in another device see whats up... pretty sure if your card is not mounting or being seen it's going bad if it pops back up from time to time it's about to be dead.
Well I finally returned the sdcard at Best Buy which honors manufacturer warranties. Been a week on the new card, so far so good...

Hey guys
I just got my new micro sd card (Samsung SDHC 32GB class 10). Till today I used stock EVO's 8GB Samsung class 6. So, I downloaded my old card content to my laptop and copied it to my new card but my pictures, videos and music files are not copied and all apps that were on my old card cannot be installed. I did this card to card tranfer many times before and never had a problem. What am I doing wrong?

Did you first format the new card inside the phone? Try doing that first and afterwards copy your stuff

Yes, of course. Tried to format it three times and copy content different ways but same thing happens

Hmm... That is odd. I have heard that the phone had some problems with samsung cards, but i remembered them with 64gb cards... Try a different rom, just for the sake of argument. If that aint it, then i think the card and the phone dont get along too well
I don't know about you but my phone came with Samsung memory card so I thought I'd go for the same manufacturer with more memory. I'll try again tomorrow from scratch and see what happens. Thanks a bunch m8

I meant what i have seen other people around here talk about... I have a no name 32gb class 6 that never gave me any problems, but i have seen discussions about this in the past.
Good luck tomorrow, I hope a proper flash will fix your card
I didn't mean any disrespect man. You helped me a lot. I'll try tomorrow and post what happened
Just wanted to say - my phone is fast as hell with this card. I can't belive the smoothness and speed

Ok, did it. Looks like my files got corrupted while copying from my old sd card to my laptop. I managed to save my pics and music but I had to download all apps that I had from playstore.
Sent from Mwakios powered EVO 3D using Tapatalk 2
Well congrats for saving at least part of your stuff . I had the same problems a few times, noticed them once when I tried to defrag my card and it was a bit over 50% fragmented. Since then, once every 2 or 3 months I copy all my stuff to my laptop and I format the card (slow format, not quick) to be sure I won't have my data corrupted. Also, I might suggest trying a different usb cable, that could be another reason why your stuff got corrupted.
Anyway, you said you saved the important stuff, so all is well now. Enjoy your new card
Well, my new card erased itself complitely yesterday
I noticed a significant lag while opening apps on sd this week and card reader gave me class 2 read and write speeds. So I guess it's broken. Back to stock
