[Q] SD card problems Desire C & Xperia Miro - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there and HEEEEELP!
I recently bought 2 x 16gb microSD to upgrade a Desire C and Xperia Miro, and am since having no end of problems.
First of all, the Desire C RANDOMLY decides that it no longer sees the sd card. have copied to and tried 3 different cards and it wont pick any of them up. apps, pics and music... all gone have tried factory reset as well but still no luck
Then... The Xperia Miro sees new pictures saved to it, but nothing from the SD card. (in both cases) the files are showing when i view via laptop. but not when i access for example the walkman. any files it does see have a duration of 00.00
PLEASE HELP ITS DRIVING US CRAZY
Thank you in advance

HTC I don't know maybe damaged but in xperia What about file explorer? can you open sd card with file manager. ? Walkman & album have some problems sometimes like not showing nothing. Just needs reloading or smth like this....

Switch off your phone, switch it back on. If that does not work, take out your sdcard and try plugging it in your laptop directly through a USB adapter.
i tried that already

How is your card formatted? Fat, Fat32, NFTS?
Did you drag-n-drop your video folder into some other folder by mistake ?
Search for large files on the sdcard.
fat 32 its the 16 gig from rogers, class 2

This happened to me a bit ago, but put it down to how the card was formatted, but it's not happened since reformatting. Try reformatting and take it from there.
Same thing happened to me as well lost my pics of the last day at the college as well as a few songs and walpapers. :-(
And was wondering what went wrong....??! :-(

You can't just move the android_secure onto a new sd card and to a new rom. you need to use titanium backup. root and then get from market for free.

Is my Samsung GS 2 been hacked?

First time happened was back in about a month ago. One day I noticed some of my pictures were gone ( may be 15 to 20 of them ) I could not find them in any where such as SD card internal/external the strange thing was some pictures still there until today so the defective SD card is ruled out and I was still using the stock firmware 2.3.3 then I also noticed there are other pictures ( almost 100 of them ) not actual pictures they just blank but all with different file names like: My piano, A day in Hollywood etc, etc.
No body has been messing up my phones because it stays with me at all times. The question is who deleted my pictures and put a bunch of files back? Could it be happened remotely like some one using Bluetooth to mess around if the person is happened to be near by? later on I upgraded my phone to 2.3.4 through KIES and hope it will help me to solve the mystery but it did not. By now I know those pictures are long gone...
Two or three days later I upgraded my phone to 2.3.5 until I found the official FW XWKL1 here in XDA, again, upgraded.
So some days later I decided to change song for my ringtone I found out all of them have been replaced by some files with number names. 41203,41204 the list go on...When I use Astro to look for my songs and they are all there ( inside the music folder ) I went back & click one of the number file to see what kind of song and the player pops up a message saying the file format is not supported. It took me almost 30 min to figure out and delete all the number files under MUSIC then I see all my songs back.
My question is has my phone been hacked or infected by viruses/spyware? Or software glitch? I don't have data plan. To go online I use my home wifi all the time.
If some one can help I'll be really appreciated.
Sounds like a problem with the sd card or phone itself.

But most of the pictures and songs are still there that was why I think the problem is not in SD card other than these problems the phone is functioning good in all aspect.
Highly doubt someones in ur phone.

Sounds like the card is corrupted. Just make a backup of everything on the card, and do a full format (not quick format) of it from your computer. That should fix it. I had a similar problem too recently. New files I transferred would get deleted and old deleted files would reappear. Maybe the file table is messed or something, I don't know, but a full format fixed it for me.
Note: Preferably use a card reader, or if you mount it as mass storage from your phone, do it from recovery if you're rooted. Otherwise just mount it as you would normally and proceed.

Data to SD

Hi.
I have the problem that the 8 GB of the internal store are full.
The problem is that games and HTC Watch dont use the SD card for saving data. Is there a solution to save the data on the SD card and not on the Tablet store?
Sorry for bad english.

hello!
in order to put htc watch and apps onto the sd card, i believe rooting is necessary and you need to download from the play shop: apps2sd. either that, or connect to your pc as a disk drive and move and music and pictures and other stuff like that onto the sd card so you can fit your apps and watch stuff into the tablets storage fully. hope i helped!

App to SD problem (sk17i)

Hi everyone, I have one question regarding my Xperia Mini Pro sk17i.
1 month back i could have easily moved large amount of my newly installed apps to SD card without any problem. But recently whatever I install, I just cannot move it on SD anymore. I understand there are many apps that cannot be moven, but whatever i tried to install (randomly) from Google store just stays on my phone and option to move it to SD is blank (unavailable). Now, I'm wondering is this something that happens frequently, or have I maybe done something that somehow blocked that function?
I'll note this app (which previously when i had no problem moving apps from phone to SD or other way around wasn't installed):
Disk Defragmenter
another note: I never rooted or flashed my phone in any way, just regular updates. I'm currently on 4.0.4 version ( installed it 5 minutes ago, but still problem with moving to SD).
I have never face a problem like u'r..i'm using 4.0.4 too..
format u'r sd card and try
thanks for reply.
Well, i considered doing that, but i have so much settings on my phone that would take ages to redo once i reinstall all the apps...
Hey bro try link2sd then
Try formatting sd card and reset factory settings. Or you can root and move any app to sd..
Sent from my WT19i using xda app-developers app
use Link2SD is much better
Thanks for your time guys, I've formated and it looks like it's working now. I'll just have to spend some time to readjust settings like they were before. Thank you again. Lock if needed.
Glad to hear it. Good luck
