Hi i'm having a problem with a sdcard I bought last year in holiday (in china), it's 32 gb (confirmed by windows) I never used all those 32 gb but I'm getting trouble to put music in it (no problem with internal phone storage).
My method : (since i'm using cm7 there's no samsung kies) I plug in as usb storage, activate storage on phone, just drag and drop, then safely click the "safe remove usb..." then deactivate the storage.
The problem is when I try to listen that song the player just "skips" it like the file is empty (or corrupted) and sometimes it says the player doesn't support such file type... (the file isn't 0 kb!!! it has no problem in this way)
I did a low level format and used same method, I put in around 180 songs all working fine but now i'm trying to add more and it just doesn't work :/
I don't have any phone to try that sd card on so I wanna know if anyone got or had the same issue (I searched on internet and some people were having the same problem but no real solution)
EDIT : Atm the problem isn't really the sd card, its just the method to put the music files in it, my working method is to download the songs from the mobile and just move it to the sdcard : works without any problem but it's very very annoying when it deals about downloading 40 songs...
I tried adb push method and it worked without problem too but I can't just type all the 40 songs and so I tried an interface called Qtadb but it always get crashed...

I got around 180 songs working properly... with 5 mb an average song size 180x5= 900 mb how can it be up to 100 mb... the problem is that it doesn't work when I try to put songs with usb storage mode, I got to go on internet with my phone and download them, and then move them to the sdcard...

I have a quite similar problem with you but its a bit worse as it'll make my phone to restart. So maybe try to format your sd card and recopy the file can help. Or else try to get other sd card and try using those card and see if the song can play without problem...good luck
Its because in cm7 mediascanner only runs at startup restart the device wait for some time and then try.
Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA App
In CM7 there is an app called Dev Tools which has an option to start media scanning manually. Try that after you have copied your files over.

Thanks for the reply, what kind of problem is yours ?
hey speaking of sd card problems, i bought a 16 gig sd card and was working alright for a few months or so. but then this week the phone vibrates and shows a message (i forgot what was the message.. ill wait for it to happen again and write it here....) then the sd card is not connected no more. i never removed my sd card from my phone or even touched it since the day i first put it in. please help... did i damage the phone/sd card?
Use Astro and delete a file named "Nomedia". It is in the root of your external card. Don't know why, but sometimes this file appear, and when it appears, the Media scanner can't detect the file on memory card.

So I get on the train, go into my MP3 player, and none of the tunes there. I check file explorer and the whole 1 gig SD card is blank.
It's a kingmax platinum 1gig sd
What could have happened?
Are you using an XDA1 with a 2003 ROM? I used to get this on mine, it's a bug apparently. Someone suggested a way to fix it, but it didn't work for me, I just kept it write-protected!
I am using an XDA IIi
DID U USE IT INANOTHER PDA DEVICE
if u used the SD card in another PDA device it may cause problems. or if u resart ur PPC a couple of times then it might format itself as well.
I haven't used it in anything else, or even taken it out. I reset the machine occassionally when it hangs...
Thanks for the replies, I'm still not sure what happened, but it hasn't happened since, so fingers crossed

Hi. I have a SanDisk 1Gb SD card. Something very similar happened to me. Several times.
I felt quite sick the first time this happened but here are some things I have discovered.
1. It's a good idea to copy your entire SD card - lock, stock and barrel - to your hard-drive, or some other storage medium. (Er...except an SD).
2. Your card may not have formatted itself - try this: remove the card, (I blow on the metal contacts for luck,) replace it, access |Start|Settings|Today|Items, then alter the Today Timeout value on the Items page. Exit to the Today screen. Check your card using a file browser (File Explorer is OK for this).
Sometime this is enough to force your PDA to read the card.
3. Sync with your PC using ActiveSync (assuming you have this facility). Find a lightweight installation file that may be lying around undeleted on your pc and attempt to install it to the storage card. You may get arsey messages from ActiveSync or from your ppc saying it can't be done. You may not. You may even have to soft-reset your ppc BUT you may find that your Storage Card contents have *miraculously* reappeared!
WEIRD!?! But it has been said that truth is stranger than fiction.
4. It may be that after all this tinkering about the contents of your Storage Cards still reads as nada. Consider doing a proper format of the card and copying back the contents of your Storage Card that you, with great foresight, copied to your hard drive on your PC.
Or consider blowing out your card manufacturer and asking for a replacement.
Regards, The Gog.
PS Please don't ask me why this often works. Obviously it is magic, quasi-magic or SD is short for 'Satanic Devilry' and your data is possessed.
Help! Storage Card suddenly not showing - dead?
Has anyone had problems with the Storage Card completely dying? I cannot read my 1GB miniSD card on my Wizard device at all any more. It started being weird yesterday but after a reset I was able to access the data, but today it is totally gone.
A 16MB one works fine. :? These cards don't generally die that easily do they?
Could this be a driver issue or something else so I can get my data back? I have tried many resets both with and without the card in place.
what type is it as i had a kingston crash on me in the end i had to buy another card
right mate before u go putting it in the bin . i just bought a 1 gig card and filled it up with tunes and stuff . first time i played a tune of the card . it played fine then next time i wanted to listen to music . there was no songs on the card . the card was showing that it was full but i could not get to my songs . so i took the card and put it into my pc card readed formated the card and its been fine ever since . u might want to try that . format the card in a pc . worked for me
Hi,
My card did this tonight but when I soft reset the device it started to work again.
Go figure.

Hello,
I got Qtek S200 two weeks ago, it came with WM5, I used it with WM5 for a week and then moved to WM6. After Moving to WM6 I realised that the Music Playing output was really very much improved. I was happy with it, it might be because the version of Windows Media Player changed, I was too happy and I am still.
But I faced a problem then
My device have : MMC mobile 1 GB card
It was working totally perfect since I upgraded to WM6. But after upgrading my card gives a problem.
There is 350 MB space available on card at the moment, but after each ~6 hours or so, it stops responding, I mean if I go to file manager and then Storage , I can see directories, but when I get into directories, it doesn't show any file, I can't use any photo, music or any thing... And when I go to Memory task, it shows as 0.19MB free space on card, I have to remove and put the card back, and then it shows all correctly and I can use the stuff in card correctly for 6 hours and then again this problem continues, please help as it is not possible to plug and remove card every 6 hours..
Please help me, I really look forward for help, thanks a lot,
FAISAL!

Hello,
I reformated the card using FAT32 this time, now after each 6 hours or so, when I go into storage, it shows me up the files and folders, but when I click on a file to be lauched, it says can not open the file or some time it says a device attached to this deive is not functioning properly.
I have to reinsert the card in order to get files back to work.
Please help , this is really the only problem I have with mobile...
Thanks a lot.

yesterday i got this error when i was trying to back up my game data but while i was doing a backup error came saying no memory card found and memroy card is only read only i quickly turned my phone of and after turning it on my memory card worked fine but none of my games were showing up and when i checked my memory card files through root explorer it showed me ll my folders name were changed and all the games that i had moved to sd card were crouppeted
i just want to know is there a way i can get all my games back and thats without losing and game data.
please help me with this i never had this sort of trouble before
as you can clearly see folder that meant to be andrid is being change to something different
please help me with this
Was your card unmounted when trying to backup?
Sent from my brain
no i have never took my memory card out of my sensation since i put it in and i dont think i'm going to take it out.
im running andriod hd revolutionary 3.6.2 and my memory card is from pny class 10 16 gb
No I mean was your phone plugged in and in mass storage mode, meaning your card was unmounted?
Sent from my brain
no i was in my bed when this happened it wasnt connected to anything at all
Possibly SD card corrupted/died. I've had two die on me within a year that's why I backup my SD like once a month just incase. And seeing as how you're Backing stuff up right now.. can't you restore something you've recently backed up? or is this the first time?
i could'nt get the chance to back up my game data only one game i managed to backup which was samauri vengence 2 nad ither games like Grow, asphalt6 and trial x data has been lost my memory card is working but ithink that it has got a viruse and thereore i'm gonna have to format my memory card which i dont want ot do please if there is an alternative way please write becaus ei dont want to lose data games app can be downloaded but data(saved games files) you cant download
Try this. I've had a few corrupted SDCards in the past. This always recovers most if not all of the data. Keep in mind, if it doesn't know what the folder name was it will assign a number. You will have to sort though the info to find what you want.
thanks for your help but after getting frustrated i formated my memory card along with my internal memory incase its happens again . but now the memory card is working fine as erll as my phone thank you all for your comments really appricated.
Ok, so my phone does recognize external SD card, but sometimes when i download or simply put new media files on it, my music player(every one i tried) and galery or video players doesn't recognize them. I know for apps like "Media Re-Scan" etc. but it's really annoying to do that for every file i put on SD, not to mention that it is rescanning whole SD card, which is 32 GB, and that takes up to 15 MINUTES.
