perfectly good pictures are now grey with exclamation mark

Has this happened to anyone else? I have few pictures on my sdcard that used to show up in thumbnail views where i can select them, now some of them are greyed out with an esclamation mark. Does this mean its time for a new sdcard? By the way does a faster sdcar mean faster phone performance? Because i have a 2gb kingston, im thinking of going up to 4gb class 4 PNY brand. Suggestions devs?

i had this happen, IIRC, i had to hard reset........
but before u do that..........
try putting the pics and anything else you want to save on the computer so u dont loose them. then reformat your card. soft reset your phone, then transfer everything back.
that should work, but if it doesnt , hard reset would probably be the next step

Ok thanks man, ill try that. I have noticed that some of the photos when i pull them off the sdcard, they are corrupt also. Do you think a better sd card would help?

I had this happen to me as well. It would be fine for awhile, then do that and when I went into ca,era app it would say no sd card inserted. I'd restart and it would be fine and pics would show for about 10min then it would do it again. I plugged my phone into the computer and and mounted it. Then a screen popped up and said some of the files on the disk were corrupt and if I would like to try to repair so I said yes. It fixed it and it really hasn't happened since (maybe once, but restarted and been fine since). I'm running an 8gb card with root.

SD (not micro SD) Card doesn't get mounted after disconnected and reconnect to dock

Hardware: Both TF and Dock are B6O on 3.2 stock
Ok anybody run into this issue?
Disconnect Tab from dock and reconnect it after a minute back. At this point you should see on the bottom a prompt what said " Preparing External storage". Well not in my case! When i go to settings and check under storage the card is showing w/ 0 GB and the only option is to un-mounted / If you do so it prompted up w/ the message: " SD card fault occured". I have to shut down and reboot to re access the SD card. As well when i unmount the card, remove it and re-insert it dosn't do a scan. (I tried 7 different SD cards on the TF dock, and yes they all work on my PC!!!). Does anybody has that kind of issue with the SD card dock slot?

Try unmounting the card before disconnecting TF from dock.

I am pretty sure there is bug with mounting the SD card on the dock. The SD card is mounted and unmounted also when the tablet goes into sleep. I have found this process can completely lock up the tablet to the point where a reboot is needed.
Edit: By locking up I mean the tablet will no longer go into deep sleep.

Every now and then my 32 GB SD card just disappears. I just remount. It has happened less than 5 times...

Hmm had this issue before, but somehow after rooting and using custom roms, its not an issue

Well
You You shouldnt have to unmount the SD card all the time you disconnect the TF. You sent your TF to sleep it disconnect the SD in the keyboard, or just close the lid and reopen it, it will performed a scan of the SD card. In my case it does it sporadically butr if i disconnect from dock its like its connected half way not accessible but you see it under settings as explained above.

Thats exactly what happened. not even removal and re-insert of SD card makes the Volume accessible. Only the reboot does.

Today I tried a micro SD card in an adapter inside the dock. So far it has not created the problem. It could have something to do with SD card or the data on the card. I will test tonight to see if the Transformer does not lock up over night with the micro SD card in the dock.

That would be great! Let us know the outcome. What i said i tried a bunch of cards so the situation of a faulty SD card is cut out for sure. As well supply us w/ the first 3 digits of your dock please.

Enough Proof!!!
OK i lost alot of power to last night and i got this. On those 2 pix you see my TF disconnected from dock. dock is laying next to it but its still shows 2 SD cards are mounted in the TF task bar????????
Inductive mounting!!!!!!! Didnt know that the TF had that feature. LOL

is cwm installed?
in the recovery-mode is an option mount/unmount for several devices.
perhaps changing some of them may help.
two memory sticks in the dock and one sd and one micro-sd in the tab,
there may be four sings at all. every memory is able to make somthing
wrong. perhaps it´s possible to show a sign if a memory is not inserted!

I removed the SD card last night and everything was good, 2% lost on the tablet no drain on the dock. Are we really the only people having this problem? This is my second dock from Best Buy, I would like to know more before I get a third.

Dock Shipped back to Texas
I sent it back and talked again to the Asus Rep. They aware of the issue and got replacement parts for the epic fail construction. I made him aware of the sd card reader issue and made a note in the shipping box to that they will see my dock back in case of no fix

Did you send off for repair? Did they fix it? I have the same issue with the SD Card not mounting and only being able to fix by rebooting. If I am reading your post correctly you were experiencing some battery drain as well? Fixed as well?

Sorry didn't saw the post. I received the dock back. They fixed the draw but i guess the did't took care of the SD card reader issue. But i got a idea. I've noticed as well when the SD card symbole disappears and you dont see by opening or turning your TF on. Normaly it does the preparring SD card check. Well when that's not appears your SD connection is not present but here your homework. Next time it happened to you. dont turn the device off. Take several USB devices like a USB flash drive a MP3 player or your smart phone and connect it to one of the USB ports on the dock. Let me know what happened. (( I repeat, test that when you got the bug to show up and your SD card is in the dock but not accesable).

Sensation Random Shutdowns

Hello, earlier today i unplugged my sensation from the chrager a few minutes later, random shutdown, then i tried to turn it back on it stayed on for a few minutes but my battery dropped from 30% to 5% just now i took out my sd card and the problem vanished does anyone suggest i should format my sd card or should i try another ROM? i also have SD card from my galaxy S im thinking about putting that in and seeing if it shuts down

it definitely sounds like you need to format your sd card.
being that the roms and probably some apps are stored on it and thats where you pull them from to install could be why you have such instability.
try formatting it then try your other card.

[Q] Damaged external sd card ?

Hey,
I have had my infuse for almost a month now. It has only been altered by changing out a 16 gb sd card for the stock 2 gb, and the Regina launcher. When it starts to slow down, I power it down (about once a week). When I power it up again, it won't read the sd card and says its damaged. If I pull the card and replace it (sometimes it takes a couple of tries) it will start reading it again.
This is a pain since I keep it in the super snug otter box case. Any idea what I should do? This happened with my moms infuse as well and she has the stock sd card.
Thanks,
Rachael

Plug it into your computer and backup everything on the SD card to your computer. Format the external SD card in FAT format. Be selective about what you copy back to teh SD card after formatting. In the DCIM folder, there should be a thumbnails folder. Delete that folder. Pics will take a while to load the first time as the Gallery rebuilds thumbnails.
This used to happen a lot on my old G1. Hasn't happened since that phone though.. weird.. just noticed that...

[Q] Battery drain on JB (not a newbie) Plz Read

I was on one of JB roms (CM10/PA/RemICS/Liquid Smooth) since mid september. that's almost 2 months. Never had this issue. But starting 2 days back,
any of these I am flashing, the battery is going down crazy. Just before this happend, I changed some of the sync/notification settings in some apps like email/fb/twitter...
To eliminate that, I did complete wipe/format /system format /sdcard everything. then flashed RemICS from scratch. Even then the same problem.
70% or more of battery is shown in Media Server and the Awake shows all the time. even when I am sleeping. When I completely wiped everything, how could the same problem come again. I really enjoyed on JB for 2 months, and I dont want to go back to GB, just because this. Any help

Do you have a microSD card inserted?maybe its something wrong with the storage and system tries to read/scan it and it loops ... try removing card.

Try turning off data and wifi until you need to use it. It's not as bad as it sounds. I am able to get more than a days worth of battery life out of my phone

Also.. how old is your battery. I picked up a new on on Ebay for under $7. My battery lasts me the entire day now on both PA and LiquidSmooth. WIFI, GPS, SYC, BT are on entire day. I use my Calendar, and browser continuously. I turn my phone on at 7AM and by 12AM I'm normally at about 15% and being told to connect charger

network hardware change?

Not sure if this fits your situation but a while back i changed my wireless router and noticed a increased battery drain. I put my old one back online just for the smartphones in the house and the problem went away.
just my two cents

I'll tell you what worked for me:
System Settings --> Apps --> Swipe left to display "ALL" apps --> scroll down and select "Media Storage" --> click "Clear Data" --> Reboot your phone.
Something most likely went wonky and got corrupted with media storage and your phone is constantly trying to scan your SD for media. End result is a dead battery pretty quick!
Try this first, but if it doesn't work then try formatting the SD card as another member suggested. In my case all i needed to do was the steps above and i'm back to normal battery usage.
Slap thanks if this helped
