I have a total of 10 pictures on my One S. If someone sends me a picture through text and I try to save it, it says "please insert an SD card," which obviously is not possible with the One S. I've tried everything, resetting cache, checking storage (there's plenty), deleting pictures, sending one to myself, etc etc. If i take a picture it saves just fine, or if I screen shot, but I can't save anything sent to me, and this just started happening because I could save them before. I'm definitely avoiding factory resetting my phone as of now, so any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Which SMS app are you working with? the stock one?
I'm having the same problem, stock message app.
Save your stuff and try to reformat your sd card through your phones storage settings and see if it helps.

so my phone deleted everything off of my sdcard and you know how your pics and everything is litterly like your world or life. how can i restore all my files? or am i totally f'ed?
i was also wondering is there something for your phone like how your computer can be restored to a date before. is there a way or program to do this to your phone and micro SD memory card??
please help me i really dont wanna have to redo everything on my sdcard again):
If the card was wiped its gone and I don't think the phone makes restore points like a computer does. Best you can do is back up your rom periodically but that wont bring back the SD card data.

I'm not sure how your phone would've done that; that usually requires a deliberate action. Unless you somehow converted the filesystem on the sdcard, it should be a VFAT filesystem. Basically the filesystem from Windows 95, 98, ME, etc. I can't think of an easy way to recover that. There might be a tool out there to do it.
Hopefully someone else has a better answer.

Ouch. I'm afraid the data's probably lost, man. If it partitioned the card it probably wrote a new partition table. There might be some file recovery utilities you can run from Windows to try and recover the files but I don't know how successful they would be.
I thought I read somewhere there was an app to retrieve old deleted data from a sd card somewhere in these sgs4g forums. a guy did almost the same thing and said he got most of it back, try searching some key words

Given that it got re-partitioned, though....
Unless you do a Full Format, or fill the card with new files, most of the time when stuff deletes, the index information is removed or something like that, and it's just invisible, until it's overwritten. So if you can find a recovery program it should be able to find the data. Last time I looked there weren't many free ones, but it's worth a google search.
I agree with goddi2010. I also remember reading that one of our members had a similar problem and was able to recover lost data. He even mentions what he did/used to recover the data.
Somewhere in our forum the help you need is there. Good luck searching and when you find the info please let us know how it worked out for you...
Sorry I can't be more specific.
I just used the program Recuva ( it's free ). Install it on your computer and plug your phone in or put the card in a reader then run Recuva and select the quick scan and it will bring up everything that has been deleted and it will tell you if it can recover it or not. It has work for me multiple times.

wtf. My girl has a rooted thunderbolt running shiftsense rom. Out of nowhere a symbol pops up and says blank SD card or unsupported file format. I tried putting it in mine and similiar issue. Any way to save this thing? Any idea how it happened? She didn't do anything and was sitting in a meeting. She lost data and phone connection and when she found me, this symbol was up also.
I tried remounting SD card with no luck. Please help! Ton of pictures and other important documents on there.
Almost seems like a remote wipe.
Please feel free to pm me here also it email directly at [email protected]
Sounds like the file system on the sdcard became corrupt. I've had this happen to me twice now on different roms. Try putting the card in a computer and see if it can read anything and format it afterwards.

Yeah windows can scan the drive and try and repair corruptions. Worth a try.

Ok well i've tried for hours now.. using Astro.. ES explorer and even the native my files application and i cant seem to move pictures from my phones storage to my EXT SD card... and something else i noticed.. is when i adjust my cameras settings to save to my external SD card it gives me an error as well but i can still read files off of it.. so whats wrong?
i'm running Clean rom 5.0
it worked before on Stock and Liquid smooth RC7 and RC8
no one? come on...
All I can say is try a clean install see if that fixes it, probably not that helpful but worth a shot.
You may want to backup everything to a computer in case this sd card fails on you. You should reformat the sd card (to Fat32) and see if this resolves your issue.

For some reason my phone is not taking the ext SD card as easy as it should. The card is relatively new and reads fine on my computer. On my phone however it sometimes says it has been unexpectedly removed. It picks it back up after a few seconds. There have been times it doesn't read the card at all and asks me to format it because of errors. I dont think there's anything wrong with my hardware. Possibly a ROM issue? Anyone have any clues or suggestions? Thanks

I've been having the same issue with the same size card. Also, when listening to music, and skipping through tracks using the volume up/down button (a mod on some ROMs, which I love...) the music player cuts out and says "Sorry, the media player does not support this type of file" when obviously it does, because it's played it a million times before. A reboot usually fixes it, but then there's a corrupted folder in the 'Music' folder on my extSDcard that looks like 'μEACTuih'. It's weird, but I know somebody out there knows how to fix this, could be changing the type of file system on the card I think, I'm just not sure how it's done...
Hopefully someone else reads this and can help!!
And oh yeah, I'm on Hyperdrive RLS15.
Damn.. Yeah.. Someone else suggested of could be the card but idk.. Works fine when it wants to

Try a different sdcard if it reads fine then might be the card
if running a 4.3 rom i read couple post of ppl that they have to format it
And if none of those work then it could be a hardware issue then Odin back to stock and replacement warranty
Good luck hope u fix the issue

I was going to ask how did you format your card? fat32 is the safest route for compatibility

Thanks dear.
Is there any other option without rooting your device?
If you do not wish to root your device then your only option will be to start deleting stuff to make more room.

I have this very same problem but it's nothing I have installed. I get the 'No free space on storage, click here to free some room' and then it shows me whats taking so much space, its only apps in this list, and that is ~80MB out of 3.9GB.
I used a rootexplorer to look around in the phone for some weird cache but found nothing. Nothing.
Please help, it even tells me I cannot receive any text messages.
Oh and..
Rooting is not an option since it's not my phone (borrowing it for.. probably a while..).
Wiping is not an option either.. :/
Any good apps for searching for weird stuff like this?
Thanks in advance.
