I know this has been posted in other forums, but I put about 1000 songs on my tbolt the other night. All DRM free, and immediately afterwards had the "sd card mounted read only" issue. Now I can't access anything on the SD or save anything to it in camera app due to insufficient permissions. It also doesn't allow me to access the files when USB connected to PC. Any ideas before formatting? Thanks

I recently bought my wife an Infuse, and have noticed a strange effect. A few apps will vanish after a reboot. I can reinstall them, but they will again vanish leaving only a blank icon, and a search of the apps list on the phone shows they are gone. I did a forum search before this post and did find something on vanishing icons but not whole apps. I use a Dell Streak so have some Android experience but this is weird. Maybe I need to reformat the internal card? Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks.
I've had that happen a couple of times; however, after waiting the app generally reappears. If you're having an issue with the apps actually being uninstalled... Dunno.
Are you running a custom rom? Stock? Rooted? Auto-Delete-My-Apps program? =P
I faced this issue when I backed up on Inspire and restored on Infuse. But well, learnt the hard way. I installed them again from market, and this time they persisted.
I didn't even have a blank icon then -- they just vanished leaving no trace.

You are brave. I wouldn't attempt to restore a backup from a diff phone, regardless of OS. Was it intentional?
sometimes this happens because the apps are installed on the sd card which finishes loading after the phone checks for apps.
meaning the apps suddenly disappear since it can't find them because it can't find the sd card.
you have to install them onto the internal memory manually. The phone seems to default to installing them onto the sd card too
Rooted but otherwise stock. I guess I'm looking at a trip back to ATT.
I moved everything off the SD card, removed it, and haven't had this problem since.

I'm shocked that you only have as many thanks as you do when you look at your post count. Most posts I've seen of yours are helpful. Thanks for this info.

Thanks for your response. So it sounds as though I should remove the external SD card before installing any apps to make sure they go on the phone. Then I can reinstall the SD. Is that what you are suggesting? Thanks

Let me accept it, Yes. It was intentional. I did the same from Captivate to Inspire too. I love playing with my toys
And well, this time I had to reflash the ROM again

Thanks for your help. I'll give this method a try tonight.
Tried reinstalling the apps then moving them to phone and it seems to work. None of the apps vanished after several hours and several reboots. Hope this solution helps someone else with the same problem! The only thing I'm still wondering is why others haven't posted the same issue? Could I have something wrong with the phone still?
I think the included SD card just sucks.
It's only 2 GB anyway... Not missing much without it now that my music is in the cloud.

This happened to me the other day when I plugged in my phone to transfer some files to the SD card. The apps went missing. Then when I unplugged the usb cable, the apps reappeared.
Thanks for this thread!
I thought I had a buggy phone because of what was happening. I was kind of wondering if it had to do with the muiltiple SD cards. I uninstalled everything from my 2GB and took it out. Reinstalling everything to the internal.
Thanks again!

Do u have any apps installed on ur SD card?
I am having this issue currently as well and it seems that the device is also not showing my external cards contents. I have a 16gb card with tons of files and music on it (no apps installed to it) and the device isn't showing more then half the content.
I am also missing apps I had installed like Titanium Backup that I used to install my apps. It even removed addon apps like Animation Package for Beautiful Widgets.
Whenever I play a song it plays for like 5-10 seconds and skips. Any idea? Using T-Mobile stock ROM. Thanks.

Ive had this issue a couple times on different phones.
What about when you play music from say youtube? does it still skip?
Try uninstalling any custom equalizer apps, since your on stock you wont have dsp manager (has caused me problems a while back) you dont have to worry about that.
If it persists theres a strong chance its your SD card. I would go ahead and format your SD thru windows format after backing your stuff up. Not the quick one either, to Fat32 default cluster size. Then throw everything back on it see if that clears it up.
I keep getting an error this has stopped. Any ideas?
Did you try clearing it's data? Manage applications -> All -> select the media process and force stop it then clear data. Hopefully with a fresh start on collecting data it will stop crashing.

Odd. That's all it took for me to get it to behave. Force stop then clear cache and data. I restarted and used my tablet for about 4 hours last night and never had the error.

Interesting as I've been using zep's script for months and immediately added it when I first got my tablet. I didn't need to bulletproof anything just the force stop and clear data. But I did use the OOM groupings and minfrees it calculates. For those not using the script give it some consideration. It does wonders on lower end phone which are lacking memory but still makes a noticeable difference, to me at least, on current higher end devices like the Transformer or my HTC flyer.

thanks,
Also i just now rebooted my tf to find the micro sd card is not being read by the tf, it shows in the notifications and has all the music files etc still on it but is not recongnized by any apps.
Is this connected to the media process fail issue?
any idea how to fix.
Update:
I tried reformating the sd card putting some music and photos back on it.
Force stopping media from app list than wiped data from media, rebooted with new formated sd card but still shows sd card in the notifications and can access it from the sd card menu in notifications-seeing all the files on it, but none of the apps recongnize it- can go into any music app but does not see music on the card.
Any suggestions to try
I had this problem for 2 weeks, and then after upgrading to ICS, it persisted. So I did a reset to factory defaults, and that fixed it.
I'm sure there's a way to fix it without taking the reset sledgehammer to it, but I figured now was a good time, since I had just got ICS running, and other folks said a factory reset seemed to help fix other problems and make things faster. Plus I had tons of apps installed, many of which i didn't need, and uninstalling them would take time.
Just backup all your stuff! I ended up backing up files, and then rooting so I coudl backup apps and app data with titanium backup.
I could not find a similar thread so posting this. I have a samsung infuse and its on the stock ROM , baseband version is I997UCKH1. I have over 200 apps installed. A couple of months back I had a problem where in my infuse crashed and booted only after several attempts. After some googling, I figured the problem was because of the SD card, hence i formatted it and installed some apps on the phone memory. But my infuse has not worked properly after that. Everytime I update the apps through google play, the phone crashes. It also crashes while using some apps. I thought it may be because my internal memory was low. So I started moving some apps back to the SD card. The phone crashes even while transferring the apps. I am guessing the problem may still be with SD card, but I do not want to reformat it again and have to install all the apps again. Wanted to know if there is any solution to this problem. If the problem is actually the sd card still, will the apps work if I just transfer all data from my current SD card to a new SD card and use it.
I had similar problems on my first infuse. My solution was a factory reset (since you're on stock). And because you have many apps, definitely back all your data up so you can restore it after.
Also, if your warranty is still up, it might be of use to contact them. I've heard they want a reset before you ship your phone in. Not entirely sure though.
Hope that helps a lil

Honestly, you probably have too many apps installed. I know running over apx 180 apps on most roms will cause a lot of lag and frequent reboots. If you can, try backing up and then deleting all but your most essential apps and run your infuse like that for a few days and see if the situation is better. You then might want to try restoring either (best) an app at a time or (not as good) a few apps at a time until you find what is causing the problem. Good luck!
thank you for the replies dr_nacho and wd4oay. Sorry i did nit check the forum in sometime. i did clear some unwanted apps from my sd card and now waitin to see hw it goes. also my phone is out of warranty so cant do anything on tht side
