I've been trying to install the Rugby World Cup app from the market, but every time it gets to "installing", I get a message saying the SD card has been removed.
I don't know what's actually been removed, as all my music is still accessible and I can browse the SD card in OI File Manager, but then, some apps aren't working, and I have to reboot to get it back.
Any ideas what might be causing this? I've tried updating existing apps, and that works fine...
Thanks!

Hi,
Not sure if this is the correct location, but I'm taking a shot.
I have noticed even after deleting AppBrain's cache and even uninstalling the program altogether, that sometimes, downloading an update just hangs. I moved the application from my SD card back to the device and noticed this disappeared.
Do applications in general run more reliably from the device or do they equally run fine from either the device or the SD card?
Ok. I need help and I've looked everywhere and tried everything I know. This is the 3rd Atrix that this has happened to me and I can't imagine it is something I did to 3 separate Atrixes.
My question is what happens to programs that are moved to the SD Card - which for the Atrix is an internal storage area known as the Media Area?
What happens is that I install lots of apps that I find useful and fun. I move the larger ones over to the SD Card(Media Area). Which was all good for a couple of days. Then today I tried to update a couple of apps and one of them hung. Meaning it downloaded and said it was installing but just kept trying to install. From that point on, anything I had moved to the SD Card(Media Area) will not load. When I start a program that tells me the number of apps installed and where, it does not list any on the SD Card. When I go to the app manager in settings menu, ALL the apps that are installed on the main memory keep saying "Computing..." where it should say what size the file is. And of course any that I moved to the SD Card are not listed.
On top of this, I can't install anything from the market. I can press the button to install, but it doesn't do anything. Just sits there. When I try to push an app from the market on the web it downloads, but doesn't install.
I can navigate on the SD Card(Media Area) and move, copy, delete files all I want there so it isn't a problem with the SD Card(Media Area)
Now on my other Atrix phones, I reflashed the original sbf and that didn't help. I also tried the wipe data to restore factory settings. I have it rooted now, so if there is something I can do to it while rooted, that would be nice. I have Root Explorer and can navigate around. Where on the SD Card would the apps have been moved? I can't seem to find them.
Now someone smarter than me must know what is going on to install apps and move them. Is there a database that lists the apps in Android that has gotten corrupt? Can I rebuild it? Is it something else?
Is this an Android problem or an Atrix problem?
I'd appreciate any help before I take the Atrix back. I like the phone and would like to keep it, but this is ridiculous.
EDIT : I should also mention that I installed the Amazon App Store and tried to install something from there. It downloads and asks to install. Then it says that it is installing, but the install progress bar just stays there and nothing happens after that.
EDIT 2 : I also have tried to unmount the Internal SD Card (Media Area) and it hangs the phone. Even though I can access anything in that Media Area. Makes me think a file has gotten corrupted in the Android system, but I wouldn't know which one.
Every now and then my apps on SD card are inaccessible. When this happens they appear in the app drawer with a default icon and name starting with com.
I can be fixed by rebooting my phone. However such forced reboots become annoying. I tried an app SDsync, but this didn't help. I am currently running Saga3D v5.1.0. Note that the files on SD card are stil readable when the apps are inaccessible.
I hope anyone has a solution for this.
Hi xdians,
I'm experiencing such a weird problem with my 8gb SD card I guess.
I download a music with mp3 format and I can listen it, but after 5 minutes I can not listen the music, its not recognizing the music, it can't open it.
When I download an apk from web I can install it immediately after the download has finished, but after 5 or more minutes I can't install the apk, it says ,, there is error parsing the package" also the icon from the apk is changed into android icon.
One more problem... when I move an app from internal memory to SD card I can open it and play it, but after 5 minutes or so after closing the app, I can not open it again, it instant force close when I'm opening. Also in settings on Manage Applications the icon on the app that has been moved to SD card is removed.
This are the problems I'm facing, every help/opinion is very apprecied.
Thanks a lot!

Back it up using a computer, format it, put it back in the phone and let it initiate it. It will probably ask if you want to store content there, you should accept. If not just make sure it's been mounted. Reinstall the apk and else. See what happens...
I think it s fail SD card. It s hardware problem
Try to change it

Well usually buggy SD card in phones are perfectly working once you open them with a computer. If not, formatting it takes 5 seconds and may restore usability... In any way it takes little time and effort and could very well solve the glitch. If not then you'll know you need to change it...

If this is the wrong forum please direct me to the correct one.
I recently did a fresh install of SlimKat 5.4 on my I9100, and Google+'s Auto-Backup isn't working.
Even if I manually select photos in the Gallery and 'share' to 'Photos' (whereupon it attempts to upload them to my G+ account) it simply does nothing.
What is going on here? Does anybody have any suggestions? Additionally, when I open the Photos app, it lists all the images on my device and they can be opened, but they are completely black, as if it's having trouble reading them properly.
Ok, I know partially why now - I'm also having a problem whereby I can't see any SD Card image folders when I open Gallery. They exist and I can navigate to them via Explorer, but Gallery can't access them - nor can Photos. I've tried clearing Gallery's cache but that won't fix it.
What could be causing this? I also tried re-seating the SD Card in case it was physically loose.
Whan can I do??

Ok, so I've also tried: formatting the SD card, tried a new SD card, and neither of those things made any difference.
There must be a simple reason for this?
Has nobody had this happen before?
Additionally, Google Music doesn't display any music files, and sometimes when I navigate to the SD card in Root Explorer, the rom freezes.
So it sounds like it's a problem with the SD card port, or perhaps the ROM itself has problems. There shouldn't be anything wrong with the SD card port though, it was fine before I upgraded to Slimkat 5.4.....
