Is it internal or external sd? If external, remove SD card and put back again or try on your computer. Can be dead Happened to many people.
If internal, go to recovery and perform format.

I think it's not the sd card issue, my friend whose phone is not rooted is able to play the game and only this app has this problem of sd card inaccessible, the rest of the games are working fine.
Furthermore, I tired on 2 other rooted phone and all have the same issue.
Therefore not too sure if it's some other errors. thanks.

Frequent sd card umounting after update

I have strontium sd card 8gb class 4 which remain unmounted most of the time this happen after i update to 2.2.2.other then file browsing is normal

This might sound ridiculous to you but it worked for me and I hope it does for you too.
1)Check if your sd card is mounted correctly onto your phone itself.
2)Enter Usb mode , mass storage than disconnect usb through the computer.
This happens to me too, but it was because of the SD brand (samnsung). I change it for a kingston and the problem was solve.
During unmounting no app on sd card is seen and no app from market can be installed.with file explore all file browse normaly

If the sd is unmounted, it's obvious that the app IN the sd will not work.
In setting in option of sdcard and storage the option of formate sd is not clickable and on clicking unmounting sd card force close happen

You said earlier that after you updated the firmware , random unmonting of sd card happened. My only advise that I can give you is to downgrade using KDZ.
I wish you all the best.
As i say, if you're using an app installed in the sd and you unmount it, you can't access to that app until you mount your sd again.
If you want to format your sd, first you must unmount it, and then the format option will appear.

I have the same problem. I thought it was caused by the different roms but that didn't seem to be the case.

Games and Apps to SD Card

Hey, i was wanting to move my games and some apps to my sd memory card in my s3......but I cant find the option for it. Ive tried App2SD from the marketplace but it doesnt let me select my external memory card, its like its blocked or something. I know the phone recognises it because I can move music and pics onto it via MyFiles app. Any ideas???

Confusing but internal swapped with external storage in recovey

Hey, today when I was switching roms in recovery I went to thr internal sd card where all my files are and the list of files was massively smaller and nothing in the download section where all of my roms are and noticed that the exterbal option had all of my files...
Now on the computer when I try to import pictures it cant find the path apparently...
Is this a known problem?

Internal SD card problems won't be picked up!

OK so basically I went from gingebread to jellybean by going to ICS in between. Whilst on ICS I noticed that the internal SD card wouldn't mount and in recovery it showed all of the file folders that there should have been but nothing in them. Now I'm on jellybean its the same. Is there any way to get it back to normal without going to stock?

check in file explorers for EMMC that will be your ext sd, if it shows up that way, look for an app on xda called RemountSD that will make your ext sd be shown as ext sd instead of emmc

I just get this.
OK what's happened is that the two files that I put on the external SD card are in download and nothing is in the external SD card file. I just need my internals back.

Update: I can't take a screenshot of notifications but that other screenshot I took, in notifications under the screenshot it says SD card is currently in use and shows a USB symbol although my phone is charging from a wall socket.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Try...from that screen press favourites, hopefully your get this (screenshot)
then press the phone icon and hopefully your get (2nd screenshot)
from there hopefully your find all your stored ext sd files in the emmc folder. If that is the case the i would recommend finding the RemountSD apk on xda, it saves alot of confusion finding your files

This is what I get. There was 2 lines more but thy were nothing.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Only thing i can suggest is if its nothing is in your extSD folder in that area then as a long shot, try fi ding and using the RemountSD app, do a search on the xda forum, it should be easy to find, once its installed tell it to remount and hopefully that will solve your problem and everything will be found on ext sd
this is the link to the app, hope that helps

Thanks for the help but the apo didn't do anything because I think the locations are wrong. I'll try reverting back to stock gingerbread or ICS later...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
No probs, hopefully someone will be able to help out more, i've not used any JB roms yet, if your looking for something custom but close to ICS the neutrino rom is quite good, comes with the remountsd aswell, i've not had any probs so far over the last month or 2 using it

Try ics sd binder first and see if that helps

Ok if it helps when i go into storage instead of internal sd card it says usb storage.

Can you access it from recovery, mounts and storage and back them up to a pc. Not practical but at least you might salvage your pics.
Also I used ICS SD binder with no problems, you have to change the file path from emmc to extSdCard though otherwise it won't find it.

Apparently all it needed was a factory reset/wipe data.

Edit I was wrong. Basically I wiped and rebooted into f1 pure gnex rom. Went into camera and behold my 500 pictures were there but all blank. I then rebooted again and they all disappeared.

Galaxy S2 not mounting sd card

Hi my wife has a galaxy S2 but today the phone stopped being able to read her 16gb class 4 San disk sd card. I took it out and tried mounting it in my s3 but it didn't see it either.. She has loads of precious photos on it. Can anyone give me any advice as to what has happened and how to fix it? thank you.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Try mounting the card on a computer, preferably a Linux machine. Then backup the photos and other important files and reformat the MicroSD card.
