I know this topic was previously discussed, but when I tried to search for it .. I was unable to find it.
I am running Vegan 5.1b and have had very few problems/complaints. Once I did the market fix and got LPP to load... very happy.
However, I recently went out of town on a business trip and loaded a bunch of .avi movies I ripped into a folder on my external SDCARD. Confirmed they were on there and viewable from within the GTAB when I inserted the SDCARD into the Tab. I plugged it in to charge overnight.. took the gTab with me.. got on the plane.. oops... no movies in the folder. Folder was still there, but completely empty.
So.. I remember reading about this mysterious memory loss.. what happened and how do I prevent it from happening again.
thanks,
Scrubb
I had the same problem with Vegan Tab as well. Same scenario and everything - very disappointed when I got on the plane and had no movies on SDcard. I recently switched to TnT Lite and I can confirm it does not lose the movies. Can't remember what the idea was on why they were being dumped, but movie playback was a big reason I got the Gtab. Once the file drop issue is resolved, I will go back to Vegan.
Cheers,
Shack
I am right there with you. if i put movies on my external sdcard and my tablet goes to sleep or shuts off the movies seem to vanish. I normally play each movie for a few seconds to make sure all is good before I shutdown or let it fall asleep. So I know they were there b4.

I had this problem...I think I put a filecalled .nomedia
on the sdcard....instructions are on forum somewhere
Okay so I have a 32 GB external SD card, and I use my phone everyday to play music and take pics, everything gets stored to my External SD but for the last week or so, My SD card doesn't load my music, it says I have it but then doesn't have anything playable, then Gallery doesn't load, it says scanning media but even after an hour of scanning nothing works, But when I take my SD card out and connect it to my comp I see everything and everything is functional, could it be a problem with the ICS leak? or maybe my phone? I'll go back to Gingerbread if I have to...

Sounds like a problem with your phone or a bad flash. Try reflashing whatever ROM you are on. Make sure you read and follow directions for whatever ROM you use. Not following directions can cause some really weird bugs.

Okay so I should reflash... weird because I never had any problems with any of the times I flashed... I'll try to see if I can flash it tonight
Weird, mine did the same, but I didn't change anything. Aliens attacking?

I have similar problem with only music not showing on MUSIC PLAYER(cd + note icon), scan sdcard, clear data wouldn't do anything. But they show up on PLAY MUSIC(Head Phone icon)

Take everything off and put the blank sd back in the phone and format the sd with the phone, then load your stuff back on.

This could be fixed with a simple factory reset. I'd try that before re-flashing anything.

I would also try what's recommended above but first format it in he computer after you have removed your stuff THEN boot up the phone without the SD card. Insert it. Format it then reset he phone so it can rescan it after the format. Copy a temp or test file such as a single song onto it. See if it reads it. If it does it may be OK. If not then reflash/reset ROM. I am running the ucle2 leak and have had no issues. Course I'm running the stock pics leak rooted with bloatware quarantined so it may be a sky ics from issue.

The problem went away after I did a factory reset!!! But I just hate redownloading apps now, and setting everything back up
Anyone tried to just go to Applications, then Media Storage, then clear the cache for that? Then restart the phone, that cache is what the phone maintains to know what music files, photos, videos, etc are on there and creates a minature DB for it to search instead of looking at the files directly. When the media scan happens initially it builds that cache, maybe for some reason its corrupt. Ive had that happen (not exactly your problem) where I get doubles of everything, clearing that cache and letting it re-scan everything fixed it for me.
I agree doing a factory reset sucks to have to resetup everything again. For the others still having the issue, try clearing that first, then proceed with factory reset if needed.

This morning I fired up my mVideoPlayer, looking to turn on some videos to listen to while working. It froze to the point where the phone locked, so I rebooted.
When I did, suddenly there was nothing accessible on my SD Card. Root Explorer shows /sdcard/external_sd is blank (it certainly shouldn't be, but I can't figure out what has been removed).
My internal memory is fine, though I have another issue that may be related to the video files themselves (audio de-sync, gets worse as the file plays) rather than the software.
I'm not at a computer where I can check to see if everything is actually ok, but when I go to Settings > Storage the SD card is not shown and is not available to mount... That is undoubtedly the root of this issue, but does anyone know what I can do to fix it? Has anyone else had this happen?
Running Embryo 3.2, if anyone needs to know that.
Just switch to a different rom. Or go under recovery and see if its all their.

I plugged the memory card into an adapter and plugged it into my PC. It prompted me to format it.
Just as well. I just bought a 32GB card for the phone, and there wasn't much on the card to begin with. Just need to re-do my TiBu backups.
As it says in the title my sensation stopped reading my music and pictures that I have stored in my SD card
Does anyone know a fix to this?
This happens for me after i plug my phone into PC using mass storage...only a reboot fixes it. although, if i check on my SD card using a file manager app, it's all there, and i can open individual photos and music files...i wonder.
After that, i used this App and not seeing that problem anymore.
idk, if you have a similar issue, this would help. i hope

Thanks for the help but my problem fixed by itself I don't don't even know how it happened but I'm glad it did
Hello.
just signed up, but have lurked and searched for a while.
I've recently updated my phone to the official ICS update.
And, i regret it. Loved it before, and should have gone with the old saying of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Phone is not rooted, and is on TMOUS.
radio is a pioneer deh-p6000ub
sd card is Lexar MicroSDHC 32 GB Class 10
I have searched here, and on google trying to find an answer to my problem, but to no avail.
I thought I had found it in the noob question thread, but nope.
Problem: SD card is giving me a lot of issues when plugged into my car radio's usb. I'm going to be as detailed as possible, so may be a bit of a read.
when first plugging it in, the phone doesnt recognize that its plugged in, stereo gives me "N/A USB" plug an unplug a few times and it works.
**already solved this first minor issue, apparently the phone has to be unlocked to register that the usb is plugged in now. wasnt like this in GB, minor inconvenience, but not a big issue.
once i get it connected it will register, and start playing.
then, while playing, it will randomly go silent for a second, then continue. will play at least one song all the way through while periodically going silent, then start the next, and after about 20 to 40 seconds, will just jump to a random song, play about 30 seconds of it, and jump again, rinse, wash, repeat. annoying.
When going through the menu's on the radio, its very slow. it takes about 10 seconds to load each folder name(one folder per line, 3 lines show on the screen at a time.)
Some albums will play fine for the most part, maybe just a couple of silent moments (we'll call it skipping.)
some albums are unplayable.
While listening to the music on the headphone jack, it works fine. no issues at all. only issue is that after plugging it into the usb, the phone itself no longer has saved where i stopped playing music previously through the headphones. always did before.
Probably related is the issues with the gallery. after being plugged into the usb and then disconnected, the gallery takes forever to load and be useable. cant access pictures or videos on the sd card for at least 30min to an hour. can take new pics and view them with no problem, but cant see the old ones. i can go through root explorer and access the pics on the sd card that way, but not the galler.
I have no need for a custom rom, i dont do enough fun stuff bc i dont have time. and the majority of what i use my phone for right now is music. and i cant use it for that bc of the usb issue. stock rom does everything i need it to at the moment.
What i have tried:
different cables.
I put the sd card into an old motorola droid i had thats still on GB and tried it on the car radio and it worked perfectly. no issues.
i did a factory reset to the sensation
i cleared the media app cache
did a soft reset.
deleted and completely loaded a fresh copy of the album that has given the most issue, changed nothing (was hoping that maybe that particular file was corrupt)
took the sd card out and reformatted it (the suggestion on the noob thread for slow sd card issues.)
tonight, i hooked it up to a completely different usb radio (dont know what brand, etc, it was) and it gave the same issues.
one difference was that after playing a song all the way through, it disconnected from the usb. and the phone showed that it was connected charge only, not disk drive.
this card is extremely slow on this phone, and i cant figure out why. been searching for over a week now.
i beg of you, help me before i break it. lol. i hate singing along to my favorite tunes at the top of my lungs in my car, and then the song cut off and having to hear how awful i sound.

While I am not sure how to help you with your USB music issues, I can help you get back to ginger bread if you like once you have s-off on your phone you could simply flash the firmware and ruu of your choice to have a stock ginger bread sense rom but, before we try that have you tried to clear the data from the gallery apk to see if it makes a difference? Also do you have USB debugging enabled? It sounds like your rom is having issues with mounting the sdcard efficiently. Do you have any apps that maybe trying to access the sdcard while it is unmounted, thus causing an issue?

I would suggest a simple solution of ruu... It installs fresh copy if ics.. But at the cost of losing phone data... It won't touch the sdcard though...

just cleared the gallery cache. USB debugging is not enabled, I enabled it for a couple days and it didn't make any difference.
no apps installed that should have any effect on sd card. running on bare min right now, less crap I'll have to reload after continuously resetting and deleting.
will save going back to gb as the last resort. would really like to enjoy ics, just this one issue I'm having.

will prob try this soon, at least before reverting back to gb.
one more thing I forgot to put in the first post:
the sd card is not encrypted as far as I know. and the encrypted sd card option is not selected in the storage menu. not sure if this has any bearing on anything, just thought I'd post it up just in case.
Well at this point a ruu would be the vest man for the job. Do you need a link to one or do you have one? If you need what's your network?

guess i will be needing a link please.
was hoping to be able to avoid doing anything additional like that.
seems im the only one having this kind of issue though, cant find anybody else with it.
oh well, guess thats how it goes.

http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Pyramid OK here is a link to all the ruus I can find for the htc sensation. And here http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...0U_11.23.3504.07_M2_release_256085_signed.zip
Is the most up to date tmobus ruu that I can see. Make a backup of everything you can like text messages, ect. Anything on your sdcard will be safe. Once you ha e done that plug your phone Into the PC/laptop and run the ruu. It will flash the phone with the stock tmobus ics rom. And hopefully fix your issues good luck
Usual disclaimers apply, if you phone explodes, starts a revolution, Marrys a dog or leaves you late for work its on your head what you flash onto your phone is your call.
