Hello people.
What's my problem:
I own a Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini St15i and today when i plugged it in my USB it said there was a new software update. I have accepted it and it passed without any problems. BUT after i turned my phone on and my friend sent me a SMS msg it wasnt stored on my messages anymore, there is just last message before u updated my phone. I checked if i have memory, coz i thought i was out of it, but there was 98 MB left on phone memory still. Then i asked my brother to send me SMS to check if it is working with him, but still it was same problem, message wasn't stored -_-
I triend turning off my phone, then turn on, removing battery, but nothing sloved that bug, and that happend just after i updated it, so it's some software bug. My brother has same phone as me but he didnt have any problems after update tho, and he got his update 15 days ago, and i got it today, i dunno why i had to wait that much for my update. Anyway i plugged USB on my phone and went in Sony Ericsson PC Companion and click "Repair" software. It said all contacts, msgs, and some more things will be "overwriten", then i went in settings to move all my applications to SD card coz i thought i could will still have them on my phone after Repair, coz it's memory card, not phone memory.
After it "repaired" the software i lost EVERYTHING, ALL applications even after i moved them to my SD card, and now when i browse my memory card i dont see where that applications are, i checked all folders but there are none of them! And what's weird it says that i have only 140 MB free on my card, even if it is 2 GB of total memory, and when i select all files on it it says total used space is 750 MB, so where is the rest of the space (it should be: 2 GB - 750 MB = around 1,25 GB, but it says i only have 140 MB free -_-)? I guess it is in backuped apps but i cant find them, anywhere. I thought they will still be there after repair coz it said only files from phone memory will be "overwriten"
SMS is working like it should now tho.
Any help please? I will destroy it, im totaly mad now coz i guess i have to install all applications again.
My phone isnt rooted btw.
Kind regards!
This phone has a hardware problem with SD cards. I tried to go to the store.
You can try going to the store and getting it replaced, or see if they have any solutions.
Although I don't have the same phone as you, whenever I flash a new rom/update, I take out my external SD card ... just incase, and if I have the time, I'll even throw a backup on my computer ... just incase.
Better safe that sorry.
Hope that helps.

I have a very wierd problem with my storage card.
The last I recall. I was deleting a picture from the HTC album.
The next thing was all data in the storage card is missing.
The folders were all missing except for the DCIM folder.
On checking the disc space. It seems the files were all still there.
I even unhide all files however still not visible.
Anyone any idea wat to do?
Could it be the storage card is damage? Anyway to retrieve my files?
As far as I know, there is some programs, which restore files on on storage card. I had data lost about 3 months ago. To the best of my memory, I used Pocket Mechanic. Also you may try connect your device as USB-flash and try to restore data using programs for recover files from flash drives.
Good luck =)

hi,
i have my cruise for 1 year now, and i also had encountered storage card data loss 2 times this month. with 2 different SDHC cards, 4Go and 8Go.
never happened before, i can't understand why now. (ROM M-AMINE).
a friend of mine who's got his cruise with genuine rom from htc had the same probleme last month.
when this happens, the only folder remaining in the card is "inbox.000xx" that's all. the thing is some hidden data still using space when you check on a laptop.
i could recover most of the pictures with a dedicated software.
i can't trust this phone anymore, so i will change soon.
cheers.
data loss and phone crashes due to SPB software
I've had similar problems with folders disappearing randomly and file corruption on the SD card. I'm guessing that the file system on the SD card gets corrupted due to the crashes.
I've nailed down the issue to Spb Wireless Monitor, since uninstalling this software my phone is a lot more stable and no data loss from the sdhc memory card. May want to give this a try.
This question has been asked a few dozen times, and the answer keeps coming back to the HTC encryption and how bad it is. TURN IT OFF it can not be trusted and it is on by default. Its not even worth explaining why it is so bad and the causes behind it.. just disabled it and forgetaboutit!
Hi,newbie question guys,how do i turn off the htc encription?
Start->settings->encryption
Obviously, my phone had never this encryption on...
If you have explaination other than the dozen you're talking about, i'm really interrested.
ciao
Thx silverpal
I'm having the same problem. Just turned off and will see. I hope that's it. Already bought new microSD...., nevermind.
I turn off encription and the problem continued, actually figured out that can't be turned off...

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.
Hi Folks,
I installed WhatsApp Messenger on my Desire S, and a day later, it said, "The Date and Time on your device is incorrect!", although the time and date was correct. Next thing I know, my SD card (Samsung, 8Gb came with the device) was non-existent! The phone kept saying "Removed SD Card. Insert a new one."
I purchased a new 8Gb Sandisk, but that too is not recognized in the phone. One one or two occasions, it said "SD card corrupt. Please reformat."
Having checked on many forums, I found that WhatsApp could be the problem app.. I have uninstalled it, but no luck. Tried everything, except Factory Reset.
My Desire S is not rooted. Have the latest of updates, kernels, whatever....
Am a noob, so please tell me if any additional info is needed regarding my phone and the software...
Thanks in advance
Rajan
As for watsapp, my locale time is malaysia which i did not change at start-up setting after flashing a new rom over it(it was preset to greenwich). I installed watsapp and restored previous messages and had the same error as u.
- Did u fiddle around with the time/backup prior to this error?
Have u try formatting the sd card on ur pc?
Are u still under warranty? If yes restraint from rooting it. Just do a factory reset(back up ur app using astro manager / backup contacts using google / back up whatever else u feel important such as notes, dates, sms, etc), if problem persist, then return it.

Dear Rain987: No I didn't change any time or date on my phone. I just ignored and dismissed the message. I haven't tried formatting the sd card, because I tried inserting a new Sandisk 8gb card, but that too wasn't recognised.
This morning I did a factory reset, having backed up whatever I could. Still didn't work. Neither the old card, nor the new card is being recognised. Still getting the same message: "SD card removed. Insert a new one."
Thanks

Hey Peeps!,
I'm having a similar problem with my htc desire (this problem occurs almost weekly) "sd card mounted read only". Usually a factory reset or re-format would sort it. This time neither my desire, wildfire s, blackberry torch or my windows laptop would recognize it?? how can i format if nothing detects the sd card?? the phone does detect but says mounted read only (also cant unmount as that option isn't even available) but nothing else DETECTS its there???? i am a noob so any detailed help would be much appreciated.......Thanks
I also face this
Hello
Many times i also face this same problem in htc desire s and without memory card pictures are also not capture why
Update on WhatsApp problem
Hello
Update: I surrendered the phone to HTC in Pune, India, and they said that the phone was water-logged! The motherboard needed to be replaced, and it will cost Rs 11,000 (Indian Rupees)... The original phone cost me Rs 22,000
I refused, and found a 'hacker' who said he would repair it for Rs 1,500! I agreed and it's done It turned out that the HTC guys were actually right - a part of the motherboard had shorted out due to perspiration which seeped in through the earpiece...
The 'hacker' replaced a part of the m'board with another part from a Motorola m'board
My HTC Desire S is as good as new now.
But truth to tell, WhatsApp is still giving me trouble. My friends tell me that my status on WhatsApp (online or not online) is often wrong, and the messages arrive very late.
Thank you
Rajan
Right so yesterday i was browsing the internet on my phone then when typing typing lagged up like it does sometimes then the whole phone didnt respond to anything. so i waited for a whole 10 mins then took the battery out so i put back in... powered in and bam it says please set up your sony and i thought.. what! So then i looked in the app drawer and all it was was stock apps and none of my 100 + apps i had before. Now heres the wierd thing my phone had and still has the same space before they have dissapeared so that left me confused. The most confusing thing was that the phone had downgraded so i had an update from sony ready which i already had before.. I'm completely stuck here
VERY IMPORTNANT INFO:
Yes my phone is rooted but still with stock rom and all
My internal storage is actually my sd card storage
my external storage is my internal phone storage
- This is because i edited the vold.fstab
So any app i had downloaded to the internal storage ( MY SD CARD)
Ive tried many things and i want other peoples help. The apps must be hidden or something cause the storage in settings still has the same before
any more details you need from me let me know. My phone now feels like a brand new phone (bad) from just restarting it.
I really hope this can be resolved!
Thanks - Matt
PHONE: SONY XPERIA MIRO (ST23I)
hmmm
My opinion...i think u have some kind of short circuits on ur plate(especially if u drooped him)causing hard reset and erasing everything,because this doesnt sound like software problem,and ive had experience to meet with that,and the best solution is if u have waranty,go to the nearest service.Im 100 % sure,that the problem is in plate.
HTC one s, t mobile, rooted, stock
Last week my phone didn't let me take a picture saying phone memory was full, which I know for a fact it isn't.
On the stock memory manager, it says 0.00mb but when I use a SD analyzer, it shows I have 651.61mb left.
I connected the phone using the usb to the pc, and scanned it with a memory manager, and it showed that the total files in the partition did not equal the max that was available, hence there are some memory missing somewhere.
Hopefully someone can help me.
Only thing different I did was download the yahoo mail app.
Thank you.
