So this is the second occurrence where I've had some contents (folders and files) of my SD become corrupt and or deleted.
The first time it happened some of the folders were inaccessible. I had just re-unlocked the bootloader and flashed CleanRom 2.0 at the time. When I was trying to restore I noticed the corruption. I simply thought it was a freak occurrence and thought nothing of it. Luckily I had just made a back up of my files.
The second time was just now. I did not mess with the bootloader or flash another rom. However earlier I made a backup using CWR because I was troubleshooting some mods I flashed earlier in the day. My data was there after the restore and reapplication of some tweaks. I was going to update to the latest CleanRom when I noticed my apps in TiBu were not there. I put the phone in disk mode and noticed most of the files from my SD were deleted. Not like last time where I could see the folders except I could not navigate into them.
Is anyone else having this issue?
I'm doubtful this is a widespread problem. I'm more inclined to believe I might actually have a lemon.
Please chime in if anything remotely similar has happened to you.
This actually happened to me the other day. I lost a bunch of photos and music out of nowhere. I didnt do anything special to it either. It happened to me in the past on my Atrix as well. I thought it was a sdcard failure at the time so I bought a new sdcard and never had the problem again. Maybe coincidence in that case. Not sure about this time though.

My SD card was wiped completely yesterday. I assumed I did something wrong because I had been flashing a lot of roms, but I'm still not sure what I might have done. I am pretty new to all of this. I may have had this same issue, however.
I wonder if we can identify it it's a hard/software issue.
I have the grey One X, SKU: 65384
I have been running with CleanROM since I've had the bootloader unlocked.
What are you guys running with?
SKU/Recovery/Bootloader/RUU Base?
Happened to me...was taking a picture with low battery..it died while the camera app was open. next time i was able to get it connected to a charger i had no photos. i've noticed when the battery dies on this phone it takes a long time to power on after being connected to a charger. but yeah count me in as one who's lost stuff.

What SKU/Recovery/Bootloader/RUU Base/ROM do you have?
Happened to me earlier today, I can't remember what I was doing though... Also I'm on clean ROM DE 2.0
Edit: my sd card was almost completely wiped. Only had a few folders and 1 picture left

Hello XDA-members,
I hope you can help me, I've been browsing this forum for quite a while now and I actually am rather optimistic looking at the high amount of leet tweakorz populating this place :> Shouldn't cheer too early though.
I've got some details which might be required in order to analyse the situation.
About a week ago, I downgraded to stock Milestone EU ROM 2.1, coming from the G.O.T. 2.2.1 custom rom, due to the power drainage which I thought was the price of the custom ROM.
I browsed around the interwebz in order to find a custom froyo rom not sucking ma powaz, but in fact I found out that the power drainage could be caused by failing to clean out the cache (including dalvik, etc) before flashing a custom rom. So, before I installed the stock ROM, I made sure I properly did this, after the installation I cleaned it again and then installed the G.O.T. 2.2.1 again , through the new OpenRecovery v2.0.1. Rooted it, installed the custom theme they included with the ROM, and overclocked it to I think 800 Mhz.
After this, everything worked fine for about 1,5 weeks, although I noticed it started to suck power again (60% gone in a night of a nice, cozy, sleepy rest without any applications, wi-fi or 3g connection on background), so I did something incredibly stupid. Still a bit sleep-drunk, I went into the openrecovery menu and cleaned the cache, dalvik and (I think it's) clear settings.
After rebooting, I noticed the theme that GOT included was replaced for the standard layout for froyo. Also, the device was barely responding to my commands, for about 5 minutes. I rebooted it, and after about a minute of processing it worked fine.
I didn't get to know if this was actually increasing battery life again, because I went to sleep yesterday night with the phone having about 40%, and this morning I woke up and the phone was empty (at least, so I thought). A few hours ago I connected it to the charger, later I found that the phone wouldn't power up anymore. It simply doesn't react to the power button, screen doesn't show power or anything. I also tried power button in combination with x, or camera, but both methods didn't do anything as well.
So, that was it. Maybe those were a bit too much details. TL;DR: I installed a custom rom, cleaned out all the cache, and my phone won't start up anymore. I hope anyone knows this problem, and possibly a solution?
Thanks for reading, Bullehr
Men i have the same problem with my girlfriend milestone .
Try to take out the battery for a minute and then put it back again, that's do the trick for me .
Sorry for my English it's not my native language
The problem generally is given by the fact that the phone needs some power to "boot" in power charging mode. What you need is a second battery, or a little trick to charge the battery...

Hey guys,
I've had my Sensation for a couple weeks now and this weird issue just popped up. The Camera seems to have some green lines running through it. These lines appear on any Camera app (Panorama Beta, Camera 360, etc.)...
Restarting the phone fixes it... But only for an hour or so before it just comes back. Is this some sort of hardware failure? Anyone else experienced this before?

That picture was taken with a Galaxy S2... The irony.
The fact it goes away on a reboot suggests to me it's more likely to be a software issue of some sort, although I wouldn't completely rule out hardware.
Have you performed a factory reset?
I had the same problem. Called tmobile and they had me do a master reset. This fixed the problem. For how long though?

Yeah, I imagine a reset will fix it.
But, what's the point? I might as well get them to replace the entire phone. Both scenarios result in me having to start from scratch again. At least I can be assured it wouldn't happen again if I get it replaced.
battery
I had the same issue as you. No need for master reset . Just pull the battery for about a minute and that will work. I never had that issue happen to me again
“Green Lines” and “Distorted Widgets”
I had the very exact problem with my phone as well. My problems first started with the distorted widgets and then about 10 days later, my camera started showing the green lines. -->Please see pictures <--
I went back to the T-Mobile store and showed them these “Green Lines” and they were kind enough to replace my phone for me. I've had my phone for a little more than 15 days and usually TMO will not validate returns past this point. I WOULD HAVE BEEN FURIOUS! Anywho, I resolved it by taking it back and they replaced it. Hope this helps anyone out having the same prob.
Still, I'd like to know what the cause of this is since it seems to be happening on more than just a couple of phones.
With the “Green Lines” and the “Distorted Widgets” problems, I’m beginning to wonder if these issues are related to one of the two LCD manufactures.
“It has been confirmed that the Sensation has two different LCD panels. One made by Acer (AUO) and one made by sharp.”
It would be interesting to find out if all the problems are occurring on either the Sharp or the AUO displays? I can’t confirm which one I had since I returned the phone already, but if any of you still have your phone with the “Green Lines” or “Distorted Widgets”, try finding out which of the two companies makes your screen on the Sensation 4G and compare the results with others. You can find out to d othis in the link above.
I'm sorry if I'll sound retarded but I just don't know much about this platform yet, so you may enlighten me on this one. A few minutes ago I was trying to save a favorite in the browser, but the phone didn't let me: an error message popped up telling me I was out of memory. What's that? I've got plenty of memory, is that a bug? I updated the firmware to the latest version just the other day, maybe this is what is causing the issue? I knew about a bug not allowing you to edit one, but this looks different. I also tried to delete the others but it didn't help. Thanks in advance.
update: apparently I can add favourites from any other site, but not from the specific one I was browsing. Now that is weird...

This cannot be Windows Phone! It's memory management surpasses thousands of other toys out there!
BTW, try this - look up your background tasks, see if manually turning one or two off gives you more room to favourite that particular page?
What happens after a restart? May be clearing all the temp files might be the case? I have only restarted/switched off my Titan 5 times max in last 3 months! 3 times was for updates and 2 times was because I wanted to drain battery to 0. Now that worries me because I am so used to restarting my old green man phones to keep temp and cache clear. - non-tech speculation this is.
Wooa, I found an answer by myself in the end...get ready because this one is pretty dumb: apparently the name given by default to the favourite was way too long, once I shortened it I could add it just fine. So I guess I found a new (very minor) bug: if the name is too long the phone displays an error message saying the phone memory is full, pretty weird heh...
Here's a link to the site I was trying to add, maybe you can reproduce the issue even on your Titan, let me know, I'm pretty curious

Actually, this is a well known bug that affect favorites.

Yeah, but it's not literally a memory issue, it simply displays the wrong error message.

Suddenly (well, I had just installed WifiKeyboard when this happened to me, but I don't think it's relevant) my touchscreen develop a dead zone. Just above hardware buttons. If i touch this zone, my phones thinks I'm pressing with one thinger above this zone and with another thinger below it. Just like the picture shows.

(Note that it's a complete symmetrical dead zone. It's a perfect rectangle)
It's strange. I was on Codename 4.1 JellyBean. I didn't change anything, (I descarted that this might be a Rom problem, I put back the stock rom and the problem persists). I don't rember any serious smash in the last few days. I had already changed the touchscreen once, because I broke it and the jerk that replaced the screen glued it terribly bad so the screen is a little bit loose (i think that maybe something entered through this space and ****ed the screen, but i don't know)
Also read someguys talking about chep chargers that might broke the touchscreen or something like this ( I recently used a blackberry's charger for a day) and that It might be something with the drivers of the touchscreen.
I had no idea.
Any clue?
Thats Strange...

Did you restart your phone?
If that doesn't help, do a factory reset.

Then it's broken.
It's not the software, then it must be the hardware.
Last suggestion: Turn off the phone, take out the battery and touch the pins where the battery goes. Put the battery back in, turn on your phone and see if it works. I've heard of static electricity giving all sorts of problems. Grounding the phone (touching the wiring) might do the trick.

I'm sorry you paid 80 dollars for your touchscreen? What a ripoff... I got mine off ebay for around 40...38 to be more precise. 80 is way too much for an SL.
I have the Samsung p6200 which about 4 months ago I flashed Jellybean 4.1.2 on it, I have had no problems, but today I was deleting a lot of apps and I freed a lot of space (1.8GB) it was slow when uninstalling apps and was freezing, also it was quite hot, I deleted a lot of apps (about 15) and thought that maybe I should restart my phone to speed it up, I restarted it and got a kernel panic error (It is not too uncommon for me so I never really worry) and restarted it, then it got stuck on the boot screen. I turned it off to cool down and have turned it on. It has been trying to boot for 5 minutes and nothing, it is just stuck, I do not want to format it at ALL, please help, I also was using NEXT 3D launcher, good news for me is that I can access recovery mode (I have installed CWM recovery on it). And another wierd thing, a few minutes ago I plugged it in and the battery thing started up and did its business, then I unplugged it and it was still going (quite natural) and all of a sudden the battery look changed from like a blue battery to a white squared like batter (actually looked cool) it was a 2D look and it filled up with white as it charged with a black background, interesting, I have rooted my phone and I hope to God that I kept USB debugging on in case. Any ideas????
I found a image

The battery was in that kind of style, it looked like that but was a battery
May not be too bad
I plugged it into my pc on its boot loop, detected it and installed drivers
Take a back up of the Rom..
Then wipe/factory reset.
Then try restoring
May be this works

Ok it is fixed
It is fixed, I left it plugged in my laptop and took 8 minutes and 42 seconds to boot, it was as slow as hell and I lost alot of my apps data, I lost 700 of funny pictures I was saving over the year, I lost all my progress in games too, swiftkey kept crashing along with 13 other apps, I had to remove some and reinstall a lot 'cos of files missing, I lost all 500 of my contacts too, I deleted a lot of apps and opened and regave root access to the apps that needed it, all is fine now:good:
Glad you got it fixed.
Backups cannot be overstated, not even so much for things like apps as they can always be re-installed and reconfigured but more for pictures.
I use dropbox and when I take pics they are auto uploaded to my dropbox cloud account which I can access from my other devices / computers.
If I lose apps it doesn't matter although for those I do have titanium backups, the pictures would definitely hurt to lose.
