Internal SD Worries - T-Mobile LG G2x

So I was using my phone normally today, when I went to send an image via email I had located on the internal SD. To my surprise, I found that my internal SD was completely wiped with this everywhere (see attachment.)
I was using Weapon G2x 2.7 at the time. Any ideas as to what's happened?
Just thought I should add, my external SD was just fine.

It appears to be corrupt. Have you pulled the battery out while the file system was active?

I pulled it out while my battery "died" on Weapon because it refused to turn off at the T-Mobile screen, but I kind of doubt that was the cause. Oh well, I'm just hoping it doesn't happen in the future.

Erratic "Application Manager" behaviour

Hi Guys
Anyone noticed this problem: whenever you enter the Application Manager and click on an application to see the size of the app or transfer it to the SD card, the size numbers start flickering very fast and then they stabilize on 0 (zero). I have to use the back button then go back into the same application to see the actual numbers
I have to stay this initial release of the Sensation software is extremely buggy, my DHD was way smoother and bug free, hope HTC comes up with updates very soon
I am on the ASIA WWE version 28.707.2.1
Yes, have seen this alot... even caused a few non responsive crashes - requiring a battery pull to resolve...
This also happens when the phone is trying to read your sd card. I've been using a sd card that hasn't been formatted in a while, so last night I saved everything and formatted it. Since then, no problems.

Anyone getting errors moving apps to sd using the application storage space saving feature? I select apps to move and it will move a few then tell me there is no more space on my sd card - there's 11gb free. I keep cycling through and it will move more but then it finally won't move any more. HTC is on some bull**** releasing this buggy crap.
I updated to 1.34.401.1 and this behavior is gone. All is normal.
Thought it was just me! Ill be waiting for the ota

Normal (but buggy) behaviour...my Nexus One did this too. I think it happens because I'm always trying to move apps to SD too fast.
edit: Now wife just complained about having to try twice or more on some of her apps!
I have the same problem too.Formatted my 16 gig class 6 card didn't help.oh well not a biggie for me,since i'm not experiencing any of the more serious/annoying issues many are reporting here....knocking on wood.

Micro SD slot

I got my transformer yesterday. Best thing I've ever bought. However.....when inserting a SD into the slot. It won't recognise it properly. I have to use my finger to push it in a little more before it will accept it.
Is this a known problem? I will try another couple of SD cards later but don't want to have to have it repaired a day after getting it.

yes.. never insert or remove your card with power on... Cant cause corrupt to the card..
Thanks for that advice. It still doesn't explain whether there is a problem with the SD slot on the pad.
It shouldn't need pushing in further once the sd 'clips' have engaged.

i guess its the way the tablet was design.. u will get use to it...
also put it in slow cuz at times it seems has if im gonna break my card..
I don't think that I should have to get used to constantly pushing on the SD when I need to use it. Haha. Of o release my finger it won't read. It requires constant pressure. Hopefully its just that card. Thanks anyway.

This happened to me the first time, the card needs to go all way to the end but since it get the mechanism at half insert, it might look that its inserted correctly when it isnt.
I must just show its bare head (or bottom) in the side of the TF. If you find that pushing the card to the end, it doesn't stay there (it usually recoils a little), then maybe the mechanism of the slot is faulty (the spring might be loose).

Are you referring to media hub? If so, you can freeze or uninstall it.
Wow, this just jumped up for me as well. For the last day and a half my battery life has been brutal. This morning I'm down 16% in 45 min. despite not using my phone.
Looks like two apps are the culprits: Media and Media Server. Can anyone tell me how I can determine what is forcing these to run?
I thought I could correlate it to installing a free Amazon talking book, 'cause after installing it this weekend my media server never seemed to shut off and I had to reboot to kill it. But I uninstalled the app last night with no improvement.

Looks like some have had success removing all media files from their SD cards. Doing this piecemeal sounds pretty daunting to me - seems like every app folder and subfolder has at least images in it. Think I'll wait til next time I flash to start fresh. If this battery drain keeps up it will probably be in the next couple hours

Are apps that use the media scanner working properly? Apps such as music, camera, gallery, etc?

Everything else seems to work fine for me. This is driving me crazy. I formatted my SD card, but no improvement. Media Server continues to run. I then wiped once, but still it's running. Been running Silver's ICS for a week with no issues at all, then this started two days ago.
Next up I'm gonna wipe 3x, then dalvik wipe, then reflash. ARRRRGH!

Have you tried moving everything off of your emmc (internal sd) to your computer? Then reboot. I had a problem with media scanner doing that. I take it you never used the Odin one click?

Haven't used Odin on this SR (it's a two-week old replacement). I've only used Odin in the past to remove root. I'm at a loss here. I've formatted my ext. SD, wiped my phone numerous times, flashed 3 different ROMs today, and restored every app one-by-one so that I don't restore the data. Still media server runs like a top.
Is there a way to use Odin that's faster than removing root and starting over? I gotta fix this - I can't last 4 hours on a battery.

I know what you mean. Have you tried running fix permissions in rom manager? You have to install busybox from the market first, though.
Edit: Here's a link to a busybox installer:

Just finished fixing permissions and rebooted. I'm only 7 minutes into the battery monitor, but media server is still running over 50% of drain. Sigh, guess a trip to Odin is in order.
Huh. I was having a similar problem, and moving all the files from the internal sd card to my computer fixed it. And then I read somewhere that fix permissions would work too. Sorry I couldn't be more of a help. Good luck!

[Q] Feeling Dirty?

I've been switching back and forth between a couple ROMs every so often. Every time I flash a new ROM, I do everything I can think of to start with a clean slate (g2x scrubber / nullifier), but I can't help but feel "dirty" even with the fresh ROM. Is there anything I can do to start off squeaky clean or is it all in my head?
Wash your phone with soap every time to get that squeaky clean feel

+1. I really suggest using something that's bleach free but has strong degreasing power. :good:
After you get rid of that "dirty feeling", stretch a condom onto the phone and use it with that on it.
EDIT:
A lubricated condom will give a "Butter" effect.
This has got to be the weirdest topic ive seen to date.

There are lots of folders leftover on my Internal SD for apps that I havent had for a long time. So if crap like that is leftover, what else is lingering that I don't know about? That's why it feels "dirty." lol

Most CM roms default to to using your external microSD card for system and apps. But under CWM /sdcard under mounts and storage is not your external. I had the same issue, so goto mounts and storage and format /sdcard.
You can also plug it in via usb before you wipe anything and just manually delete everything. Than you can also, if you have it, use a MicroSD adapter and format your external sd as well with windows. Make sure you copy off it what you want to save and copy back over your flashables for CWM. With CM7 you can goto phone settings, storage, than scroll down and select erase SD card, your internal is the one listed as additional storage /mnt/emmc.
Those are all the ways I've cleared the built-in internal storage.

[Q] External SD Card won't mount [SOLVED]

I'm running the latest nightly of CM7. I tried swapping SD cards and when I tried remounting, it wouldn't mount. I booted into CWM to see if I could mount it from there, still wouldn't mount. My SD cards read just fine on my computer. My phone just refuses to mount.
Maybe your sdcard reader is damaged on the phone?

I think it is. Is there anything I can do to fix it?
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda app-developers app
Examine the pins carefully to see if any have cracked or become bent. If you notice one bent try to use something tiny and carefully straighten it out if possible and take your time so you don't cause further damage. It could also just be dirty causing bad contact with the pins and you should use rubbing alcohol and a q-tip to clean it with battery removed. A soft pencil eraser works well to clean pins also. Just lightly brush it lengthways down the pins and blow out anything that comes off. Those are really the only easy quick fixes, unless your comfortable with tearing down the phone and soldering tiny pins lol.
This is what it looks like even without an sd card in there. I tried cleaning it out, rebooted, and tried mounting in cwm, still nothing

I never formatted either of the sd cards though, all the data shows up fine on my computer. I think my phone thinks something is mounted. Is there a way to force it to unmount even when there is nothing currently in the reader?
