I've had this Samsung Captivate since December and just noticed this issue with my SD card. It's a 16gb card that's been in it since I purchased the phone. Recently I looked at my gallery and found that one folder that used to have ~400 pic now has over 4000 pics. Most of these are duplicates. When I connect to the PC and view the folders there are the original 400 or so. No duplicates.
Today I unmounted the card, removed it and remounted it again. Now, in the notification screen it shows "Media scanning... 0 %" for an exceptionally long time trying to scan the media on it. For about 20 minutes. This happened earlier today but eventually came up after I shut the phone off. This time I powered it down and it did the same thing. Just sat there scanning. Then it came up with a red SD card icon stating that the card was full. I am now in the process of transferring everything I can onto my laptop. I guess it wouldn't hurt to reformat the card after that and see if it continues to happen.
After reformatting it, it still did the same thing. Luckily I had an extra 16gb card available. I installed it and transferred all the needed files. It works fine, for now. Don't know why this happened, except possibly that the SD card wore out (?).
Anyone else have a similar situation with either the captivate or SD cards in general?
For some strange reason all the media files on my SD card become unavailable from time to time.
I have to unmount and remount the card to get the media files back.
Any idea as to what could cause this?
Thanks.
Hello,
lately i have been experiencing one strange problem.
I have an 32 gb card about half year or more and it doesn´t gave any problem, the rom is OptimusRS XPERIA Rom V6 and i had no problem until one week ago.
Problem:
When i mount the sd card the phone starts Scanning media files in SD card ant i stops around 10%,or 35% and stays on the notification bar all time.
Consequenses: i can´t open camera, memo, music, etc aplications, it gives me "Try after scanning media files" message.
Questions:
How can i fix this? or how can i disable media scan for sd card?
Thanks
Hello
try rename "fsck_msdos" from system/bin and reboot (Backup before)
Take it out of the phone and plug it into a pc with an adapter and see if the card is still good. Sometimes they go bad, just like hard drives fail. Or it might need reformatting. And try another card in the phone to know if it's the card or the phone.
sorry ignore this
Verizon Note 2 is constantly scanning for media, battery is draining and phone is hot. My music player no longer shows music from external SD card, and player constantly says "looking for new music." I can view my music files using root explorer, and can even open them from there. Tried deleting some songs but root explorer is saying "delete failed." I've tried numerous SD rescan apps, triggered a scan from developmental options, wiped media scan data etc etc etc. Nothing is working. The scan won't recognize my SD card and it won't stop. Anybody have any helpful insight?
And plugging phone into a computer accomplishes nothing, only a few folders pop up from my SD card. No idea why I can view files in root explorer but not on my computer.
I have always used micro SD cards to help store all my music and pictures and such, however earlier today after copying some music over, my files weren't being read by my music program Zplayer. I assumed maybe it just read wrong, so I unmounted it and then mounted it again. After this however, it still was not being read so I cleared my app data and restarted my phone. After again not reading my files, I put my SD back into my computer to check and realized that my Music and Photos folder were missing. :crying:
After looking around a little, I realized all files on my SD card disappeared but my LOST.DIR filled with unreadable files. I have used this same 32 GB SD card before so I do not understand why this is happening. Now after reformatting my SD card using my phone AND computer, when I put only one album on it worked perfect. I tried adding a few more after that, and it worked as well. I assumed it was back to normal so I added all the rest I had on my itunes library and then put it into my phone.
After the previous two successes I was disappointed to see that my phone stopped reading my music files again. I used ES File Explorer and saw that my music folder WITH the music files were still intact and in their correct directories. I tried to play a song using the built in ES player, and it played perfectly, so I tried just unmounted and mounting again, thinking it might fix it.
Again still nothing was read and I looked at my file directories and a message popped up saying something around "sd/ext_sd/Music was not found" and discovered once again that my files were missing and my LOST.DIR folder had again been filled.
I am at a lost now as I can not figure this out and I am scared that any information I put on my card will be ruined. No messages pop up warning me my card is corrupted, my files just disappear after being put in my phone for some reason.
TL;DR Whenever I add files to my SD card and put it in my phone I can see the files but they are not read. After unmounting and mounting them again all the files keep moving to the LOST.DIR folder even after reformatting.

SD Card broken?
Maybe the SD card you are using is broken. Is it old? Can you try with another SD card?
This issue happened to me on my PSP memstick which i figure out that it was unmounting issue from the PC, I simply unplugged the usb without safe removal which really shocked me

The weird thing is that I bought this SD card about a week or two ago. I use another SD card for another device and I have not had any problems. My current one just started corrupting everything after I added more files last night. Also I do not use the USB cable, I unmount the card from my phone then use a SD card reader to copy files, not showing any issues!
Try The corrupted SD card on another phone if you can. Yet it highly possible that it is a bad SD card (damaged during the shipping or whatever)
