Many of you have compplained about sd card corrupting i havent experienced that but this, morning i woke up to my music and videos, missing from my sd card. I know they were on there because i listened to a song with my headphones on, and when i laid down for sleep i watched 30 mins of a training video for certification test ill be taking next month.
Weird right.

Is this a question?
Lol I meant to ask if anyone has seen behavior like this? That's about 10 GB gone and only 512 mb in lost.dir.

So the files are actually gone? Did you lose everything, or just some of your files?
How are you checking if the files are still there? File explorer app on the phone, plugging in the phone to your PC - or perhaps the best option, pull the card and use a card reader?
Very strange indeed. I've used this phone for 8 months or so - while I've always had the same SD card in it, I've never had data go missing.

I was able to recover about 4GB, it was that little because i copied some files over while getting dressed in the morning (not realizing that files had been lost). The training videos were about 6gb but i didnt really care about those since i have a subscription to cbt. Most of photos and videos are lost now tho. Something told me to dd this sdcard the day before.
I used photorec on linux and recuva in a virtual machine. I put the sdcard in a usb card reader.
The only theory i have is that my battery died because i didnt charge it that night (was at about 30%), and it didnt shut down properly in time. You would think it would have time to shutdown properly but that's the only reason I could come up with.

Ive been waiting 20 minutes for this internal memory to stop scanning for about 20 minutes now. I dont know whats wrong, any suggestions?
Ive tried waiting it out and disabling mediascan. Im rooted and haventm essed around with any files. And until I get this fixed...I cant take pictures or look at any.
Bump
/10chars
reboot the phone
Hopefully you have this fixed by now.....
I had this happen the other day. I had it hooked to my computer with the SD card mounted. I disconnected the phone from the computer without unmounting the SD card first. The phone started scanning and didn't stop, just as you were reporting. To get it working again I reconnected it and remounted the SD card. It took a little longer than usual to mount but it eventually worked. I unmounted before disconnecting it after that and all was well. I typically disconnect without unmounting and have not seen this again, seems like a fluke.

is probably the sdcard, might have gotten corrupted.
Try formatting the sdcard and see if that helps

Ugh. This is so annoying. I have a HTC inspire all stock. Just the newest update from ATT. Also when I got the phone about 2 months ago I purchased a 16 gig class 2 sandisk SD card and had this error over and over.
So I formatted it in the phone and had zero issues for a month. Now today we went on a trip and I used Google maps with navigation and once I got to my destination and closed out maps and did other things on my phone all of a sudden guess what came back. Yep. SD card removed. This time I received it like 5 times. The last time I pulled both the SD card and battery also I uninstalled the update to Google maps and so far its fine. I just wish they would freaking figure the problem out I'm getting annoyed with it.
Anyone else have this issue yet or a fix for it?

That is pretty dang weird! I have a bone stock Inspire as well. I am using just the 8 gig class 4 SanDisc card that came with the phone and have not had that problem. However, I have not used navigation and only use data when I'm on my home WiFi network. Sorry I can't help you further, maybe one of these other guys on here will be able to help you correct it. I would say try backing up the entire SD card to your computer, to back up all you files on it, and try reformatting from your computer. When I say from your computer, I mean take it out of the phone and get it connected directly to the pc. If that doesn't work, I'm all outta options. Good luck, and let us know if that works or not.

Yeah I will try it when I get home on Sunday. There are a ton of posts on googles site for developers with this same issue across a ton of other phone manuacturers. Some say its 2.2 issue but idk. I am so mad now its doing it again. Now I can lock the screen and 20 minutes later ill unlock and it does the SD card again. I managed to unmount it before it did it again. I wish Google would fix it.
Here is the post I'm talking about. I know it says LG ally but if you see all the posts there are a lot of them different brands.

Whenever I used weatherbug on my Inspire, I was had the SD card unmount problem...
Hmmm. Let me uninstall weatherbug its worth a shot. I have had it on my phone for a few weeks now without issue tho.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I would wonder if it doesn't have something to do with the slower data transfer speeds of class 2 flash media, but that may only effect the ability to record 720p video.
Hopefully it's a REAL 16 GB card from SanDisk, and not a counterfeit card.
Well I deleted weatherbug app and no SD card inexpecdly removed error. Oh well that's weird. And its a real card I purchased it at Hastings in Richmond ky.
Also slower speed hasn't effected anything. I recorded some videos of my son playing and it was just fine.

I used to have that issue all the time when I was on froyo. I haven't had it at all on gingerbread. I think it is an app2sd problem in froyo.
i saw something similar but with the sim card...
i think it was the door
Well the error is back. God this is annoying as Hell. Once the screen locks when it goes to sleep I guess it comes right back. I tried installing contract killers this morning and it caused it to do this again. So I deleted it and it won't stop....

Do you happen to be running the "Flight Control" game app? It can do strange stuff if you leave it paused for too long (forcing a battery-pullout).
nope no flight control app... well i had to back up my photos and videos online so i can format the card in the phone.... its been about 30 minutes so far so good.. i hope this is fixed... sucks because i lost all my progress on all my angry birds games and everything lol...
Still getting this crap. It's fine unless I access the card on a game. If I play contract killer the first time I open it works fine. But if I close and go back it will say checking integrity of the file it will close out and POP up the sd card error. You guys think heat can do this? It was fine till I drove with maps on and the battery got warm. I just wonder if the card is going bad?

Ok so weird. Now that I am home with a WiFi connection I havent received this error at all in 24 hours..... ugh of course when I was in the woods (literally) this past weekend it flipped out and almost messed up my whole weekend. Now I'm home its fine. FML
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Well that's pretty strange..
Do you get the same sort of problem if your phone is in Airplane mode?
Do you have a mini/micro SD card reader for your PC (or another phone) to try the card in? If so, maybe you could try playing a large video file directly from the card, just to see if stays stable.
Yeah I can try that today. That's a good idea never thought to do that. Now airplane mode I never tried but so far its been two days and no sd card error. I do know I am going to start backing that Dang thing up from now on tho after this.

This thread is for people with the problem of:
a process called "media" that after the phone boots keeps crashing and restarting. If I kill this process the phone acts normally and I get my usual day usage out of the battery.

It only seems to occur on Sense 3.6 and means that the phone ends up remaining in a wakelock state for a 45 minutes to hours in my experience.
I initially thought I had corrupt MP3's or Photos but that doesn't seem to be the case.
These are the posts from another thread with their configuration:

I use ARHD but it seems to affect all Sense 3.6 ROM's I've tried including stock. Can you tell me what SD Card you have and do you have a lot of music, photos etc on it?
The issue doesn't occur on Sense 4.0 ROM's.
My workaround was to just disable Media starting automatically using System Tuner (needs root).

I tried different sd cards:
Unbranded 16gb class 4 - media process started restarting a few minutes after boot.
Kingston 16gb class 4 - media process didn't start for a few hours (do we know what app starts this?) Then started restarting and keeping the phone awake.
Both occasions the cards had no photos or music on them.
It seems to get stuck in restart mode after Sense crashes. I dont know if you guys noticed but usually after it crashes mobile data geta activated as well. Can else someone confirm?

I suppose that confirms that it's a Sense 3.6 problem rather than our SD cards.

For me it starts scanning at boot up as it should but continues and then the MediaDB Migration service constantly restarts.
Mobile data doesn't seem to have an effect on it in my experience.

Odd that it doesn't effect everyone though... (Or they haven't noticed and assume the lower battery performance is due to ICS)
Just a quick update, Still got the Kingston SD card in. The media process started again this morning and has been "restarting" since, however according to the power information on the phone it hasn't been "awake" the whole time, and my battery is still at 98% after 4 hours (1 4min call, 8 sms).

It was like that for me occasionally, when did you last reboot your phone, straight after charging?
Last reboot was when I changed to the Kingston SD card. However, sense did crash and restart last night, so guessing that's why this media process started again.
Mine crashed sometime last night, phone was playing tune in radio before I fell asleep. So I think we say its a bug and has nothing to do with SD card. Anyone wanna file bug report to HTC?

I have about 20 gig of music and 5 gig of pics/videos. The one I thing I noticed yesterday when I was copying everything from the SD card to my PC was that it kept erroring out, but I couldn't place where because I was trying to do a bulk copy and just be done with it. But because I was getting that error, I had to do it folder by folder. Everything went find till I hit the Android folder. I thought that was odd because it wasn't that big of a folder. So I went into the subfolders and started doing those one by one. PITA. Eventually I found that the 0 kb .nomedia file that was in the android/data folder would not copy over to my PC. So I removed that file after the format. I don't know if that was the file culprit, but knock on wood, so far I've gotten 18 hours after a full charge on ARHD 6.6.0.
I also noticed this today after my battery only lasted 5 hours with light use, and it's an anker extended battery! I have like 500 pictures and 1gb of songs. I haven't tried reformatting my sd card yet but I will try it in a bit.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using Tapatalk
Thanks for the info.
So maybe we can conclude you need a fair amount of music and photos for this to occur?
I don't see what difference the .nomedia file would make. I've seen it as a solution to the 'Media Scanner Drain' in other threads.
Did you say you put the .nomedia file in /Android/data? That's one thing I did because I was getting music files from games in my music list which was annoying.
No matter what SD card you have ...
Solution for me on Desire S ICS 4.0.4 Sense 3.6 is uncheck fast boot and then restart phone ...
16 hrs without restarting Media service ...
I have the same problem. My device is fresh restored to factory settings. I am trying to disable fastboot and for some hours it was ok but again the same problem

Same here, did you find a solution for this?
Unfortunately not. I just check my storage before I snap a picture. I can say it's more stable as time passes by. It doesn't happen that often anymore
I think it only happens after a reboot.
I thought so too, but it's not the case for me. I don't reboot my phone, and it never rebooted on its own. It simply switches to internal memory randomly.
I have the same problem. Do you know if it happens to everyone with Android Pie or only happens to a few? It bothers me because the camera settings change without warning and I have to be aware in the case of recording a long video.
The frustrating thing is that with so little news about the developments it is very possible that we remain with the problem eternally.
Happens in my HTC U12+ as well. It's quite annoying that it happens. One always got to check, and as I tend to forget to check it, I always see it later and got to move my pictures to SD manually.

Try forcing permissions for removable storage. It doesn't solve the issue complitely, but it happens much less. I could go for weeks without it switching to internal memory

I have not tried that. I put it directly from my previous mobile phone (U11 +). Before formatting it, I would like you to confirm to me in a few days that it still behaves the same. That is, after restarting the mobile phone having established external storage in the camera continues to maintain the setting.
If you don't mind, I'd appreciate you giving us some feedback. Thank you.

I had u11+ as well, have you cleared the data in the camera app? (obvious usually catches me out lol) I formatted mine via PC after transferring all stuff off my Sdcard, then I formatted the Sdcard inside the phone, it then allowed me to flash from 128gb ruu before it wouldbt. It won't work with twrp tho got be 32gb Sdcard ,it dont recognise & refuses to mount
After five days and two cell phone resets I can say that it works correctly. Formatting the sd card seems to solve all problems. Now the camera is always set to external storage.
Formatting the card did not bring any improvement.
At random times, the recording changes to internal memory. In addition, after a restart, usually ringtones (phones, event, alarm, notification in YaataSMS) also return to the system settings.
This is an HTC nut kicked, drama.

You're right. Today it was in the internal memory without having reset. Dammit.
To avoid problems with the ringtones it is better to have the audio files in the internal memory. After moving them, the sounds have not changed again.
Kind regards.
Unfortunately, after more than 10 years of loyalty to the HTC brand, seeing deadlock, no new premium smartphones, no staff that Google took over - this year I will change the brand.
I'm sorry, but U12 + is the last smartphone of this brand

Same Problem here since Pie-Update. I tried everything you all tried, including buy a brandnew microsd, formatted it in the Phone and... still it changes to internal memory.
