[Q] XT912 "No External Storage Available" - RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a customer who brought in a Moto xt912. Everything was working fine. A few weeks ago his wife gave birth and he took many pics. As soon as he left the hospital, he could not get back into the Gallery. When he clicks on it it says "No External Storage Available" whether we have an SD card in or out. The pics were not saved to his card and must be on the internal memory. I have also tried differnt SD cards with more storage, and still the same error. The weird thing is, behind the screen saying the above, you can still see all the categories where the pics were saved, and the number of pics in eac folder. You just cant access them. I"m not much of a software guy and wanted to know if there was any tricks around this. I have changed 50+ LCD/Digitizer screens on these and have seen the replacement of that part fix many strange problems not seemingly related. I will do this tomorrow, but was hoping someone had some ideas. I have already reset the phone(Not wipe) and pulled the battery. Thanx.

Wrong forum man. This is for the RAZR hd.

[Q] No memory available on my droid incredible.

I'll start with this even though I'm not quite sure if it's related. I recently unrooted my droid incredible because I need to bring it back to Verizon.(The speaker is blown on it.) Everything went fine until today.
I was looking at the phone and all of a sudden I have no memory available on the phone or sd card. I had space yesterday and have not done anything to it since. I plugged the phone into the computer to see what I was dealing with and I do have no space. Some of the files on both the memory card and phone storage have a title Mus****.tmp (the stars are different for each) all are in the root. They are all 0kb. I am assuming I can just delete them? I have a bunch of music on there and used v cast to put them back on after I wiped the phone. Worst case senario I am planning on wiping the memory card when I get the new phone and hopefully that works, I just want to make sure this wont happen to the new one.(I plan to root that one as well.)
I appreciate any help.

problem with data disappearing from sd card.

so a couple months ago when I got this phone, I bought two 16 gig micro sd cards(order mistake, and I never returned one), one Patriot and one Wintec. a a month later, after a reboot, I had a problem with one of them losing the data on it. like, all the apps installed there, plus pictures, all gradually disappeared except for a few folders that were emptied. I didnt know whether the phone or card caused it, so i switched to the other one, and put the one that had deleted data into my tablet (iconia) to see what would happen. well things went fine for a while, and then there was a point where I was taking the card in and out of the tablet and switching it between that and my computer, and the card eventually stopped working altogether. so I figured it was just a bad card.... but then the one in my phone los data like the other one originally did.
I had backups, so i formatted and reinstalled them. but over the months, it's happened again 3 times, then a fourth time today. so I'm planning to format the entire phone and card and see if it ever happens again, i.e. maybe the phone is the problem. I notice it usually happens after a reboot, i'm thinking maybe Samsung's mods have caused the media scanner to be unstable. anyone else know what's likely to be causing this?
if it helps diagnose, I'm attaching two pics of the sd card contents. it's odd, a bunch of the file and folder names have been renamed, with random letters replaced with other letter and characters. and for some reason, the whole card was renamed "ba".
in short, do you guys know if this is more likely to be a problem with both cards having been bad, or my phone corrupting them? I'm hoping it's not the phone, that would be difficult to fix i'll bet.
gah forgot to attach.
OK after reverting to factory stock, updating to the latest and rooting, I still have this problem. Doesanyone know what it is caused by?

SDcard "read only"

Anyone else getting this error? I've gotten it a few times and it's been taken care of each time with a reboot. This morning it wouldn't fix it.....ended up taking the card out of the phone and connecting it to my pc to see if it was truly messed up and it wasn't. Copied it to my comp and put it back in the phone, works now. I'm backing up all apps now, contacts next. I hope this gets fixed soon or I might have to get a different phone cause I damn sure don't want to have to take my phone apart everytime this happens.
This happens to me too. Haven't nailed down what it is but I have a feeling one of Motorola's phone sync/sharing apps is the culprit.
Kinda aggravating huh?

I think i'm just gonna try a different microsd card and see if the problem persists.....perfect excuse to upgrade to a 16gb card from my 8gb one

Video Camera Not Functioning Properly

Hey all,
When i film video on this camera, it only works part of the time. If it does work, it still has parts where giant blocks show up on the footage when viewing it back and its like the footage gets stuck in pieces.
Most of the time though, when trying to playback through the gallery, the clip just doesnt display and it says "Sorry, this video cannot be played". This happens right after shooting it. I tried rebooting and giving it another shot but the best i could get was it would show the first few seconds and then go black and display the error message.
Anyone else having this error?
Thanks.
You seem to be the only one having this particular issue. What is your current set up?
Try another memory card. Sounds like your sd card went bad.

I'm just running stock Sense rooted.
Mem card was sandisk straight out the package, i'll try a different one though and see what happens.
Any certain type of micro sdhc or specific formatting type we're supposed to be using?
I use a Sandisk card myself. I just used my phone to format it before use. You should always format a new card before you use it. It is formatted standard fat16.
I went ahead and swapped out the card for another sandisk 16gb. Formatted it through windows though. We'll see if this helps. Appreciate the suggestions.
I know the Answer! There's a bug in the Stock Rom. On RootzWiki its called green blocks. Just do a battery pull. I had the same issue on stock rooted.

Thanks Elgin dude, I actually did do a battery pull right after filming and the clips still wouldnt play from gallery for the most part.
They do seem to be playing better now with the new mem card, hoping that was all the problem was.
thanks all.

MicroSD Corruption/Damaged in my DHD

A couple of days ago my DHD (running IceColdSandwich 8.2 at the time (now 8.3)) decided to tell me that my MicroSD card was damaged.
I decided to put the card into my PC and try and take a look that way - nothing. Sometimes came up as a device and sometimes didn't.
In the end I used one of the various recovery programs on the net and surprisingly, it instantly saw my MicroSD and recovered pretty much everything.
There is a few corrupted files and images but the majority of stuff is perfect - such a relief.
I simply told windows to format the SD card and it's fine again...
Why would this of happened, I thought the card was physically damaged but apparently not.
Odd stuff - plus its a Lexar, not an unbranded ebay card.
Anyone had similar experiences?
