Hey guys, i downloaded a movie onto my sd card and i can't get it off. I've tried to delete it it from the phone and also by inserting it into the computer. It says deleted but when i put my sd card into the phone the file comes back. What's going on with this?
Are you sure that the file aren't created automatically by the phone (or an app) ?

hmmm
your right, the app i downloaded it from keeps trying to download it after i delete it. DUH ...let me see if it stays gone now. Thanks for the help man. Thank you very much.
Nope that didn't work either, it says it's deleted, but when i pop my sd card out then put it back in the file pops back up. I also deleted it from the app that downloaded it.
Maybe the SD Card is dead now?
What type of movie is it?

So I decided to try an experiment and transferred everything off of my sd card to my pc. I rebooted everything and then moved everything back to my sd card. I can see all the files through a file manager, but can't figure out how to actually load everything.
Any ideas??

The hell? What's the purpose of any of that?

I moved everything off of my sd to my pc for a backup and when I moved it (my entire phone..I just dragged and dropped the whole folder) it didn't actually remove anything from my phone it just copied it. So I still had a copy of everything on my phone.
Is it possible that you somehow modified all the contents of your phone folder before you moved it back to your phone?..I'm just thinking out loud really, maybe it will trigger your memory, or give you and idea of what went wrong.
What version of windows are you running?
What rom are you on?

I was playing around changing prl's and on my last reboot my phone stopped reading my sd card. I've did nandroid backups, pulled battery and took out and re-installed the sd card. Nothing. Anyone have any ideas on what I can do?

I don't think it's my card because I can still flash roms that are stored on my sd card.

I am using twrp recovery. My phone won't go into disk drive when I plug it into my pc, but if I go into recovery and toggle sd card, my pc can read the files on my sd card.
I could sure use a little help. Or at least a push in the right direction.

That is a strange issue. If it were me, this is what I would try:
Use a card reader connected to your PC and copy all of the files over to your PC. Make sure you have your folder view set up to see hidden files.
Next, format the SD card. (you can use this free program "SD Formatter" https://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/) or just use your normal formatting process.
After the card is formatted put it back in the phone and see if it can read the card. If it can, then copy the files you backed up on your PC back to the card.
If it can still read the card after putting everything back on, you're golden. If it can't, then there is some app or file on the card causing the problem.
Good luck and let us know what you find.
thanks for the advice mvansomeren. worked like a charm. i have no idea what happened. i changed a prl file rebooted, was too slow so i did the ##775# and i saw that i couldn't find my old prl file. i went to check for the file and couldn't find my astro. lol. then i noticed that the phone wasn't reading the card. well, if it happens again i'll know what to do. thanks again.

Thanks for letting us know how it worked out. I'm discovering that the SD card is the root of a lot of strange issues. I'm not sure if data is getting corrupted somehow or the quality of the cards is questionable but now, whenever I have a weird issue with the phone, the first thing I do is pull out the SD card and see how the phone behaves without it. If the phone returns to normal, I know its something to do with the SD card.

+1. It's happened to me several times. Also a good idea to back up the sd card often. Saved me many times.

Go to settings->apps->all tab->media storage->clear data. Do it without your sd card in. Replace sd card and turn on phone and it will rescan the sd card correctly.
Back up anything in the /media stoage folder to your sd card before you do this.
Go to apps, all apps, find media storage and clear data, then reboot phone.
Problem solved.
Edit. Ya beat me by a min, lol.

I experience a similar problem with a rooted Lenovo 790. It can always see phone memory, but occasionally can't see the SD card. Rebooting does not help. The only way I've found to overcome this is to physically remove the SD card and replace it, then reboot the phone.

How can I physically remove the SD card from my symphone xplorer w17 tell me.
or your sd card might be broken. I just bought a new sd card, inserted it to my Lenovo, few days later sd card cannot be read.
I already have apps on my SD card that I had moved over in the past but any other apps I move now become corrupted and useless. I'm hoping that formating the card will fix this issue. Can I just copy all contents from the card over to my pc then copy them back on after the format? Should everything work correctly? I have 6gigs of spotify music and other big data files. Hope someone answers Thanks!

I'm on lollipop with klte root. Man I messed up. I transfered all the contents from my sd over to my pc to format it and when I switched everything back over the folders came up as all empty. And I can't seem to recreate a folder called .android_secure. My storage info shows that about 9gigs of space are being used on the sd but the folders show nothing. 6gigs were of pure spotify offline music. This is not a good day. Tons of pics were there too.

I have done the same. In MM was concerned that my SD data would be gone. Made the transfer to the PC of everything. After seeing what MM did to my SD, I formatted the SD again and transferred from the PC to the SD and all was fine. If you want that info back and it is still on the PC, then just do the same. In my case after the format, all was as before.
I lost everything on the card. Dammit. I want to just do a complete hard reset of my phone. If I do a backup with kies will I be able to add all my apps and settings back on my phone afterwards with a recovery of the backup?

I recommend using Kies and Another Backup Solution as I've had problems with Kies backups in the past, causing me to lose saved texts, contacts, memos, settings, etc.
I personally recommend using Helium backup from ClockworkMod, a quick search through google play should get it for ya.
Happy resetting! :3
EDIT: Just realized this thread is old... you've probably already reset the phone. Sorry I didn't pay attention to the date stamp..
It's almost scary that you would have responded to this thread right now. I am going through the exact same mess again. I tried applying a fix to make the external card detectable by other apps which were not detecting it. Well after doing that none of my apps or data on the card show up or work. The files are there if I explore root folder though. How do I regain the pathway to the card? Through my USB on pc it does not show the external but it does if I use sd card reader with the sd card by itself. Last time I copied everything from the card to my pc then formatted. It all became a senseless mess when I tried returning everything to the card. Lost everything. I tried backing up with kies before but it did not give option to backup sd card. Please help is an understatement. I just checked the sd card for errors using Windows tools but no errors popped up.

The reason for this occurrence (as well as how to fix it) depend on how the fix was applied.
Please describe the nature of the fix as specifically as you can. Things like where you found it, what it does, how you installed it, as well as if this is the same SD card, will help the most.
Edit: if you could also include the file system that's on the card that would be great too.
Thank you for responding. I'm not sure what the file system on the card would be but I've attached a screenshot of what I did. The name of the app is there.

Well I found the app in question in the play store, and was unable to track down exactly what it does, so we can't get anything out of that.
To get the file system that's on the card all you have to do is put it in a Windows PC and look at the drive properties.
At this point the best thing to do would be to back up everything on the card to a computer.
