Infuse Deletes Music

So, I've been running Serendipity 7 on my Infuse for maybe 3 days until I went back to stock firmware, but it seems everytime I try to put all my music onto my external SD, it deletes it all and saves 3-4 bands with scattered songs from the album. I had this same problem with my Captivate, but it would put the files into LOST.dir instead of just deleting them. I've looked around on Google since I started having problems back in June/July and couldn't find anything.
Right now, my Infuse is running stock Froyo and rooted. I haven't really done much else. The SD is a Sandisk 32gb.
To add a bit more, when all 19gb of music is on the SD card, I safely remove it and then plug it in just to make sure it's still on there. The music doesn't delete till it's plugged into the phone. I've tried using the SD card slot on my computer and USB through my phone and it always deletes either after I disconnect from the computer or when I plug the SD into my phone.

Do you have any .nomedia files on your phone? I don't think the media scanner is the issue here, but it's always a possibility. Did you try storing the music on your phone's internal memory instead of the SD card? Maybe the card is going bad?

I haven't put any .nomedia files on my phone. As for the SD card, it is brand new. I can put the media ob my internal, but when I move it to the external it deletes itself.

Now it's deleting apps that are installed on the external SD...

It's most likely a faulty external sim card.

I should stop buying from eBay. I've only gotten one good SD card from them. This I've was still in GE case too. It's like it will only allow 1-2 gigs of the 32 before it deletes the files.

Search e-bay for this problem. They are also selling cards that are fomatted to show more space then what they have.
I once bought an 32gig usb drive, it would look like everything that I copied was there, but would only play the first 4gig.
These mostly come from china. Like I said, do a search and you'll never buy memory off e-bay again.

Very good point, I completely forgot about that. Thank you so much.

Now there are a bunch of no extension files in my LOST.dir. They just now showed up. Damned Chinese products.

I make it a rule to never buy electronics off eBay. Local craigslist only for me. That being said, it definitely sounds like a borked SD card.

Yo, easy as pie to fix this. if your SD card is in deed broken. Wally World (walmart) is your solution, go buy a San Disk 32 GB like yours then switch out the cards and return the faulty one. Thank you.

I'm telling ...
But to show my age, back in the early 80’s, when we were hacking drives to copy 5 1/4 discs, we'd burn out drives in a few weeks. So we'd buy a new one and swap out the internal components.
Cranky...

Phone video freeze

Has anybody had there phone freeze when using the video recorder mine keeps doing it any solutions?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App

Are you using any roms? What about saving to a SD card? If so, what speed class is your SD card? Sometimes even stupid small things can cause headaches.

By any chance, do you have very little space on the storage that the video is being saved to?

No roms and its stock I have it going to my external SD card 16 gig class 2. The card is empty have nothing on it

Maybe it has something to do with the speed of your sd card (class 2). If you can replace that card with a class 6 or 10 and see if the problem clears.

SK 4G able to hold only 2gb sd

Hey guys new to the forums but quick question here. I have an unlocked SK 4G and i wanted to put my 8gb micro sd into it but when i do, the SK malfunctions and is unable to turn on. can it only hold a 2gb sd card ?

I have a 6gb micro sd in my Sidekick 4g and it works perfectly. You should try formatting your sd card.

Yeah it should work with any Micro SD card, I'm not sure why memory size would affect the phonee.

alright thats whati thought..I am going to try it out

So I have the 8gb micro sd card inserted now, but my SK 4G is unable to even read the card. It won't alllow me to format it because it thinks I don't have an sd card inserted. Any suggestions ?
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA

Have you thought maybe the Micro SD is defective? Try using it on a different phone.
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA

Yea I think your card is bad because I have a 16gb card in mine.
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA

Try sticking the card in a PC card reader and formatting it there. If the card is good it should work fine. I'm running a 32 without any problems.

Can I use a 64GB sdxc class 10 on my sidekick 4g?

Gs3 wont recognize 32gb sdcard?

Hey guys, I just recently saw when I turned my phone on, it says sd unexpectedly removed, when in fact it is in there. If I take it out and re insert it, it doesn't say anything? I would try to use this on my laptop but I know the reader on my laptop is busted (plus I'm at work). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Not sure, I had a 32gb card myself and it started acting weird on me. Doing th e are thing, acting like it wasn't there, needed formating or some such. I switched to my old 16gb card from my droid X and it worked perfectly. I think not was just a bad card. It's possible as the prices came down and these cards got cheaper the quality control has dropped. . I might add that that was my second 32gb card The first one wouldn't even work in my laptop when i tried to format it and got so hot that it burned my fingers when took it out!
Short Story is you may have a duff card. Try an old sd card just to make sure it's not your phone.

I know it's not my phone, tried my friends card and it worked. If I insert my card in his phone it says blank sd card and when I try to format it, it says in know media state....

Sounds like a duff card. What brand of card is it?
I'd say as a last ditch attempt when you can try using a laptop and make sure it's not formated to exFAT. When mine went bad my laptop wouldn't even let me format it

I had a generic 32GB card workinf for me perfectly from day one, but recently I bought a SanDisk 64GB and I can't get my phone to recognize it (my computer does), I'm thinking it has to be in the right format, which formats will the phone recognize and which won't it?

Try it in cwm. There is a page that does give info on partition and speed somewhere on the net.
Afterward, fix permissions.

Fat32 if you intend to be a rooted user

Fat32 is the stock format OOB and will work well with all devices.
Ext4 is androids partition for apps.

How do you format on the phone?

Settings >> Storage >> Format

tried that to, still won't work.
when i try mount it says damaged sd card reformat.
i've tried formatting it on the computer in exFAT and NTFS, the only 2 options windows offers

Can internal SD card be switched out?

Well this may be a stupid question (I tend to start a lot of threads like this lol) but is the memory of the nexus 5 just an SD card that's no removable inside the phone? And would it be possible to switch it out for another SD card by taking apart the phone and putting in another one? Im guessing if it would work someone else would've tried but thought I'd ask to make sure.

There's no internal sd card. The memory is soldered to the motherboard. Android just refers to that storage as the "internal sd card".

OK thanks I guess it was too much to hope for. 16 GB is enough for me but I was thinking it would be nice if we could get that extra storage for cheaper. But I guess if it were that easy then no one would buy the 32 gig lol
