So, I've been running Serendipity 7 on my Infuse for maybe 3 days until I went back to stock firmware, but it seems everytime I try to put all my music onto my external SD, it deletes it all and saves 3-4 bands with scattered songs from the album. I had this same problem with my Captivate, but it would put the files into LOST.dir instead of just deleting them. I've looked around on Google since I started having problems back in June/July and couldn't find anything.
Right now, my Infuse is running stock Froyo and rooted. I haven't really done much else. The SD is a Sandisk 32gb.
To add a bit more, when all 19gb of music is on the SD card, I safely remove it and then plug it in just to make sure it's still on there. The music doesn't delete till it's plugged into the phone. I've tried using the SD card slot on my computer and USB through my phone and it always deletes either after I disconnect from the computer or when I plug the SD into my phone.

Do you have any .nomedia files on your phone? I don't think the media scanner is the issue here, but it's always a possibility. Did you try storing the music on your phone's internal memory instead of the SD card? Maybe the card is going bad?
I haven't put any .nomedia files on my phone. As for the SD card, it is brand new. I can put the media ob my internal, but when I move it to the external it deletes itself.

Now it's deleting apps that are installed on the external SD...

It's most likely a faulty external sim card.
I should stop buying from eBay. I've only gotten one good SD card from them. This I've was still in GE case too. It's like it will only allow 1-2 gigs of the 32 before it deletes the files.

Search e-bay for this problem. They are also selling cards that are fomatted to show more space then what they have.
I once bought an 32gig usb drive, it would look like everything that I copied was there, but would only play the first 4gig.
These mostly come from china. Like I said, do a search and you'll never buy memory off e-bay again.
Very good point, I completely forgot about that. Thank you so much.

Now there are a bunch of no extension files in my LOST.dir. They just now showed up. Damned Chinese products.

I make it a rule to never buy electronics off eBay. Local craigslist only for me. That being said, it definitely sounds like a borked SD card.

Yo, easy as pie to fix this. if your SD card is in deed broken. Wally World (walmart) is your solution, go buy a San Disk 32 GB like yours then switch out the cards and return the faulty one. Thank you.
I'm telling ...
But to show my age, back in the early 80’s, when we were hacking drives to copy 5 1/4 discs, we'd burn out drives in a few weeks. So we'd buy a new one and swap out the internal components.
Cranky...

"I'm Telling" bahahah! i member in elementary that **** was serious. who ever saw you do something you weren't supposed you, from that moment on you were their ***** until you caught them doing something... real talk.
I have an LG G2x, rooted, running MIUI. After about a year of use, my SD card is acting up. Its almost full, but I cant edit or delete most of the files on it. Ive tried formatting it, both from the phone and on my pc. Nothing helps.
Anyone got any ideas??? Thanks in advance.
Have you tried putting out into a sdcard reader then formatting from a pc

Yeah, tried that. And using USB storage on the phone.

I had one do that too. You're out of luck, I tried everything, even removing it during a format, just to screw it up. I asked everyone I know that knows anything about computers and only one person offered any sort of possible answer was that the controller had gone bad. You're also the only other person that I've encountered that has had this happen. Ironically the card was a Sandisk, not some cheap off brand.
Dang. Well, thanks. I just need a new SD card I guess..

Or does it have one I want to put a new SD on phone instead of using external one

The internal SD cards are in a completely different physical format than micro SD cards we're all used to. The micro SDs are made for transportation/transerinf purposes. The internal SD cards are soldered onto the motherboard inside the phone. I'm sure it can be done, but there's a good possibilty that it could completely mess up your phone rendering it useless. So, I would say that it's not a good idea to do so. Especially yourself. I don't know of anyone trying to do that kind of modification.

Your phone holds an 8 GB internal SD card. A good place for info on your phone would be either the LG website or gsmarena.com.

Well this may be a stupid question (I tend to start a lot of threads like this lol) but is the memory of the nexus 5 just an SD card that's no removable inside the phone? And would it be possible to switch it out for another SD card by taking apart the phone and putting in another one? Im guessing if it would work someone else would've tried but thought I'd ask to make sure.

There's no internal sd card. The memory is soldered to the motherboard. Android just refers to that storage as the "internal sd card".

OK thanks I guess it was too much to hope for. 16 GB is enough for me but I was thinking it would be nice if we could get that extra storage for cheaper. But I guess if it were that easy then no one would buy the 32 gig lol
