Not Normal Always Preparing SD Card!!! - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ok with v 19.x.x17 I did not have this... From pressing the Power button to get out of sleep...and the unlocking at the bottom righthand corner it tells me it's prepairing external storage.... WTH

always
I believe mine has always did this.

Hmm that's strange never did it with v17

Just had a similar problem yesterday. The "External storage inserted" thing in the menu would keep disappearing and reappearing (re-preparing). It would stabilize by connecting to a computer and transferring a file. It even happened on after rebooting. That was on the guvnor 15b kernal, upgraded to 16b and erased dalvik cache and the problem went away. try erasing the dalvik cache or changing kernal.

Yup got it fixed after cleaning davlik and installing 17b

[Q] Can't Anyone Help ???

I'll try this forum, over 200 views on my other posts and no suggestions. Is the problem that obscure ? The tablet, while not worthless, is getting there as I am unable to load any of the hacks and fixes to the SD card to install. Is there a work-around the SD card so I could reinstall the g-sensor fix ?
With all the great minds on this forum, surely someone will have some insight into my problem. To start with I am running the latest Vegan release (thanks Team) and have been since 1/1. The only thing I can think of that might have caused this problem was that I foolishly removed my SD card without dismounting it and popped in a blank one to see if it was working. Since then, I am unable to mount an SD card. If just says "Unmount in Progress". When I click on unmount, it will unmount it and give me the "Mount SD card" option, when I try to mount it, it will say "preparing SD card", then go back to "Unmount in Progress". When I try to mount a new card, it says "Card blank or unsupported file system". But all the other card I have used in my Gtab give me the same Unmount in Progress issues. I reinstalled Vegan. Apps that used to work, no longer work, they just open and close (No FC message)
Someone please help !!!

I'm not one of the g tablet great minds but I'll make a suggestion that always works for me.
1) Format your external SD card in a computer with Fat32. Preferably not a quick format.
2) Using Recovery wipe EVERYTHING, repartition/format the internal memory.
3) Reboot into Recovery
4) Connect to a computer, mount usb, copy your files over again.
5) Re-install the rom of your choice.
In my experience (at least on the HD2 with Android) crazy FC's and otherwise unexpected behavior from a freshly installed ROM means there are leftovers that were not removed from the previously installed rom.
IMHO the device should be completely empty of every bit of software before reinstalling.
Edit: On a side note, I have NOT been able to get an external SD card from recovery which is why I do everything through USB-Mount with the computer.
If you can mount via usb, you could put the ClockWorkMod (CWM) update.zip and recovery file and then reboot with Pwr/Vol+. That should install CWM.
Then you will be able to boot into CWM and repartition or whatever you need to do. Personally I would repatition, clean out the caches, wipe data, etc. and then start with a clean slate.
Hope I have not misunderstood what you need. Hope this helps.

Factory Re-set
Don't know if this will help or not, somtimes you need to clear out the cashe.
Have you tried going into settings and clicking factory reset?
You will lose your user data, but this might be enough to fix the problem. I think you have parts of two installs overlapping each other.
Also, reformatting the SD card sounds like the next step to try if factory reset does not fix the problem.
Third you could NVflash back to stock and then start over. Then do factory reset after each install.
If you have to wipe everything I would suggest formatting your internal sdcard in clockwork to 2048 and 0

If you did a factory reset and nothing happened then the reset didn't work. I would install clockwork recovery from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=851657
Then boot into clockwork recovery and clear data/cache. You will have to redo the market fix and install your apps. If this doesn't stop the force closes then boot into clockwork recovery and repartition your sdcard to 2048 and 0
I'm having the same problem. I did nvflash and started fresh. Installed CWM making sure to wipe data/cache. I partioned the SD to 2048/0. I installed vegan 5.1 and its update. I think I did everything by the book, yet it still says Unmount in progress. This did not occur when I was running stock.
I tried the sd card from mt Evo as well. It does the same thing. It also does not recorgnize any USB flash installed as well.
I've run out of ideas. Can anyone help?
Thanks very much.

My VEGAn 5.1.1 says same thing but I never have a problem accessing files on it (/mnt/sdcard2). Are you sure you are not confused by the fact that the internal memory is divided into 2 GB "system" and 14 GB SD1?

Be patient, it took forever to mount a thumb drive for the first time and I too had thought something was wrong. Try again after a reboot and a couple of minutes.
Hope this helps
Thanks for trying to help. I pretty much gave up and installed TNT 5.0. I've had the thumb drive in there for 5 minutes but I'll keep it in to see if it shows up. In TNT, the SD card seems to be working/appearing fine.
I really liked Vegan, but I'll keep TNT for at least a few days to see how it does.
Thanks again!

[Q] SD unmount issue

CM7 crashes repeatedly after I unmount SD card and I have to take off the back cover, remove the battery and start the phone again. Or sometimes when it doesn't crash it simply doesn't read the SD card. and adding to my annoyance, the phone sometimes soft resets on itself!
WHAT seems to be the problem?!
HELP!
HTC HD2, CM7.
try wiping dalvik cache and reflashing your rom

[Q] Help!

Hey guys, so right now I decided to do a factory swipe to delete all my data to start off new. I am on Valhalla Final with AS 14.1. However, when I try setting up my device, it wont let me continue to use my phone. I am stuck on google location asking to use their location service. I try to click next, but it keeps having a pop up saying the application has stopped unexpectedly and asks to try again. I tried searching for a solution about this, but didnt find any. Please help!
It sounds like you might not have a launcher in your system apps. Reboot to CWM and reflash the ROM.
oh geeze thank you so much! it worked! I will hit the thank you button! but I have another question. So after I did my factory reset, i noticed that i have more internal memory used. When I use to do a factory reset, it would show that I used up 76mb internal storage. After this recent reset, it says that I have used 96mb internal storage used? I have wiped dalvik and app cache and it still shows up as 96mb. Could you diagnose why I have more internal memory used after this particular reset?

[Q] Crash of random applications and app data deleted.

Hey,
I booted up my phone this morning but the boot animation stucked and I had to reboot it. When the phone booted up again, all my personal data was wiped, and all the applications I launched, except for my launcher, crashed after a second. And even if I touch nothing, random apps start crashing. I can't even run TB to backup things. Since most of my app data is on a partition of my SD card, I tried to put it on my PC but only the 'multimedia data' part mounted correctly.
Is there anything I can do apart from flashing a new row and wiping everything ? Maybe accessing it from my PC ? Or do something from CWM ?
My phone is running Kyrillos 9.7.1 with G3 Mod Non-Oc.
^It seems to me that there's something wrong with your partition.
Just format and repartition your sd card to fix any corruption issues!

Link2SD hangs phone

Hello. I've been using Link2SD to link apps to my ext4 SD card partition with no problems, but yesterday I deleted some system apps and now, after booting and showing the lock screen (I can unlock and use my phone for a few seconds) the screen turns black, but it's still on because I can see the backlight on, nothing responds, even the bottom bar with the triangle, circle and square buttons dissapear.
I hold the power button and it does nothing, I have to force power off by holding the power button, and when I turn it on again, it boots normally, then shows a "Android is optimizing applications",, after aprox 15 mins optimizing apps, it boots normally , and then hangs with the black screen again, and the loop continues unless I remove the SD card and none of my linked apps shows (thats why I guess the problem is with Link2SD).
Can anyone help me here? I don't know if there is any way to log things that happen before the phone hangs, and never had this problem before, so I'm kinda lost here.
I deleted the apps "My consumer cellular" and "My extras", without making a backup first, and I don't know what's their real function. Maybe all this is happening because I deleted them? Because the other are Google apps that I don't think will cause this issue.
I attached the apps that I removed before the problem started.
Thanks for any help.

I've had this problem! I had to flash the ROM again.
You did Wipe cache and dalvik?

Wow, glad someone can help me!! Yes! I wiped both partitions using TWRP recovery. Right now I'm experimenting with wiping the ext4 partition (I backed it up) and link some new apps to see if the problem persists. If not, I'll copy all my old apps from the backup and try to boot again.
Strange problem, if the problem persists after all that, I guess I'll have to flash the ROM like you did.
Edit: I noticed an issue that happened to me me before while copying files from the ext4 partition. There were 2 files that I could not copy because of an error, the same error happened to me before with this phone while I was copying apps files from the SD card (FAT partition, using the normal "Move to SD card" Android button). Those file that I could not copy were causing my SD to be unmounted after boot, and I would mount it again and after some seconds, unexpectedly unmounted again!
I can't copy all the files to the ext4 partition, probably the mounting software I'm using is doing something wrong, because I copied the full sized folder from it to my pc. I'll have to reinstall all the apps, but at least my phone won't be hanging again (I hope!).
Did flashing you ROM again solved all the issues for you? Doing that wipes data? I've never flashed another ROM.

If flashing the stock ROM or a custom ROM will solve the problem.
hint:
If you want to do backup applications, you can use the AutoMoto! "Backup / APP" This option is being tested, but so far did not matter with me.
