Okay so I've just gone through my second (32gb micro sd card) where I would sync my music from google music beta and tracks would have errors and not be able to play. When I copy that specific track (there's multiple of them) the whole file is zerod out. Also when taking pictures with the stock camera some pictures can't be opened after taking them and give an error symbol. The exact same thing with the file being nothing.
I'm wondering now if it isn't the sd card that I have but the sensation is some how corrupting data? I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to try and solve this or if this is better to just return it for a new sensation (i'm within my 30day). I never really played around with the 8gb card because I swapped it out really quickly.
Any suggestions would be great to try before I go and try and return it.

Can someone please help me my video camera does not work. Every time i try to record something it records it for like 5 seconds and then the phone shuts off. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.
Where's the store?
Look in the settings and see where it is storing the video, phone or SD card.
Confirm there is adequate space in whichever location the video is writing (storing). If phone storage full, obviously, tweak to store to SD card. If that's where it's storing already (SD card) either clean out some space, or get a bigger SD card.... Interesting thing, so please post results and share your learning.

I just put in a 32gb SD card and tried switching it to store the videos on the card, but with no luck. All it did was make a really obnoxious sound and shut off.
Update your radio.
[Q] Can't access "My Photos" - via Gallery - on my microSD card anymore; HELP!
I don't know WHAT I may have done, but a few weeks ago, I updated my Droid 1's ROM to one of Bugless Beast's variants... and in the process, must have forgotten how to reselect my Gallery settings to recognize My Photos directory on the SC Card. I only get one folder with a bunch of logos in it, and that's it.
I can access all files and folders on my SD Card, and can even open each desired image - one-at-a-time in most file managers, but - try as I can, I can't seem to recall how to get Gallery to "see" the others on the SD card.
I even moved everything from the SD Card to my computer's hard drive (some 9 GB of files...) and did a format of the card - thinking it needed a wicked cleaning. Moved everything back, and - business as before... as in: "no luck". Still can't access any of the photo or movie files within Gallery.
...any takers??
Try as I might, I can't seem to find ANY location of a cache or data reference to Gallery. I used to be able to simply view ALL file folders that contained images... and now, it seems to be limited to a select few that have nothing to do with the "My Photos" folder or its respective sub folders. I wiped the cache and data on the device a good half dozen times prior to installing the latest Bugless Beast ROM V0.5, and yet - I still can't get it to "see" any of the desired image files on the microSD card. I even wiped all data on the card, formating it, and reinstalled all of the files. Still, no luck.
As an added bit of frustration, I attempted other ROMS, and had similar issues. Wasn't like this before I installed the latest 2.2...!
UPDATE... What's more, I also used to be able to select one of my sound files on my MicroSD card, and make it my ringtone, as well as assign similar audio files as alerts, etc. Now - I can't.
As my kids often text... "WTFIGO...?!?"
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Feel free to comment here, in this venue - so it might assist others, as well as post me - directly, to: [email protected]
Thank you for your kind assistance with this matter.
UPDATE STATUS REPORT:
After many attempts at trying different ROMS (Miui... VERY buggy; ShadowROM, Liquid Frozen Yogurt) I STILL had the same results - where only a few images still showed up in my Gallery (when I knew that NOT to be the case) and none of my audio files would save as ringtones, regardless of what I tried... I opted to go to "plan B" and to remove all files, reformat and reinstall the data to the 16 GB MicroSD card, resulting in the very same as before. VERY upsetting as noted earlier.
As I happened to have an extra 2 GB microSD card kicking around, I figured it wouldn't hurt to try to copy from my desktop - a few images of various kinds, as well as some audio files, and copy them into similarly desired and titled folders on the 2 GB card... then install same directly into the Droid 1.
Well, problem SOLVED. It was the ol' 16 GB microSD card. For future reference, it is marked as follows: "MicroSD HC C2 16 GB C16G Japan". I got this for my Samsung Omnia... a few years ago. I guess they really DO wear out after a while! Shame that. At least it's figured out! Thanks for listening to my rant...
As the title says...

About 6 months after I bought mine GT-P3113, it stopped reading the SD card (PNY) for no apparent reason, not just photos or music, any files. I could still read the card on my PC (Windows Vista). I backed up the files and reformatted the SD card (32 GB). The Tab 2.0 would not read that card even after reformatting. I copied the files to a new disk (Sandisk), and haven't had problems in over two years. I never modified the Stock ROM however. I recall reading complaints of spontaneous SD cards problems with Samsung products. My wife has a Galaxy Tab 3, and I have had a Galaxy S3 phone for around 2 years without any SD card problems. What I did learn from the experience was to back up the Tablet/Phone periodically. I do so about every month.
The only thing I can think of for the music and photos problem is that the apps need to "refresh" somehow.

I found this solution. Practical if it is discovering a new directory, not if you need to do it for every new file.
How to refresh the gallery in Android
Posted on December 22, 2012
I was facing a problem on my Samsung Galaxy S2 where the gallery was not showing the photos that were present in a certain folder. While trying to share some pics on Whatsapp I realized if Gallery cannot see them, you cannot share them. Well now I had to figure out what can be done.
While searching the net I found out the following steps to work properly for me.
Go to settings – apps – gallery
Clear cache, clear data, force close
Go to settings – apps – media storage
Clear cache, clear data, force close
Hard reset (cold boot) this will not delete any data
Next time you open Gallery it may not contain anything, but give it a minute while the system is still scanning the device & you will find that only the folders you want to be visible, are visible.
This has been quoted directly from this site
Props to janner43 for his solution / trick.
If you are not comfortable (or do not understand the steps) you might want to consult someone who knows more about Android or the reseller from whom you got your phone. I am not responsible in anyway if your device starts acting weird. Use at your own risk.
I have had problems with photos too. I discovered that if I create new folders on the sdcard and copy the photos into the new folders I can see them. I know that it seems too easy but it has worked for me several times.

I have a rooted Galaxy S3. One week ago I was in my picture gallery and accidentally deleted a whole folder of 1,300 pics thinking it was one picture (so stupid of me I could kick myself). I have a sd card but was unaware it was almost full and I am assuming it was saving to internal memory. Have several folders in gallery and the main two were labeled camera (has 700 pics and still on phone) and the other was the one with 1,300. Since they are of my kids I am desperate to get them back. I have checked google+ (sync was off, again really dumb, I know). I have been consumed with trying to figure this out but haven't had luck finding any straight answers that are credible. I have tried diskdigger pro but the only files found are the 700 from the sd card. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!

Just came across an app on the play store called Dumpster image & video restore. I figure it's worth a shot

Thanks for response, but I have tried recuva. The problem when I connect with pc is it doesn't find phone as a drive, just the sd card.
Have you tried "disk digger" app it seems to be a good one among the pro's.

Was it on the SD card or on the internal card?
If on the SD, take out the SD from your phone and plug it into a computer (may need a converter), then use a program like easeus data recovery (you can get it for free one way it another) to restore the data.
Good luck! I can't even imagine having that happen.

3 years ago it was not possible i think, but maybe something was changed?
I got a lot of photos on my phone and everytime i'm moving them to SD card, Google Photos thinks that it need to be restored from the disk and in a moment I have them twice everywhere - on SD card and on phone memory. Confusing, don't You think? Every time i got my phone memory full of photos, even if my card is still empty (or also if i will have card full with duplicates).
Heres more - i need an high quality of theese photos, so i can't participate in Google Compression Program, or whatever gives me unlimited storage space, with lower quality. Not cool. But if i only could change the default folder to SD card... Maybe something bit more complicated, like with rooting and changing advanced setings?
I will be very grateful for any help.
