I don't understand why this is happening, this makes no sense for me...
My phone (Xperia E) runs ok, all apps work fine, without any SD card. The problem comes when i insert my 16gb sd card, i don't know why, but some apps just stop working. But not all apps, just some of them. I try to open it and it says: This app is not installed. If i remove the SD card everything goes back to normal... When i try to go to storage settings with SD card on the phone, i get the error: The app settings stopped working. If i go to the storage settings without the SD card, everything works fine. Basicaly, my phone works ok without sd card. With SD card nothing seems to work fine, my phone just go crazy. Pls some1 help me. I know my phone is bad (1ghz cpu and 512mb ram) but it worked fine in the past with that same sd card... Sorry my bad english, not my native language.

ok,when you insert SD, go to cwm recovery or twrp whatever you have, and wide dalvik-cache and cache, only this..... be careful,dont wipe data.
I think your apps move some of their files to sd, I dont know

Hmm you think that some apps move some of their files to sd, but that is not possible, because, as i said, everything works fine without the SD card. And it is already formated. I'm trying it anyway

if i had to guess, i would say your sd card may have gone bad, could only be partially bad, thats why some things work and some not..
it is my understanding that if you have a card installed the phone will try to use it.
if you have a card adapter to put it in your pc, use this, direct download here to test and see if its bad. it will read and test the hole thing, then provide useful results.

remove the card from the phone first. reboot. put the card back in. go and delete all the partitions on your card using your partition program. Recreate the FAT32 and EXT2 partitions.
sd card wont mount/g1 wont....
Maybe the g1 has a headache!
Keep an eye on the sdcard by going to menu.settings.sdcard... that should tell you the status. Re-boot usually gets rid of all my problems if my phone does not read my card for watever reason.

Its been a while since I fooled around with the sdcard and usb... but... I do remember installing some drivers for something or another (let me see what it was and if it is related some how... ) ill get back to you....
ok.thanx.do you mean the adb interface drivers??because i have that installed
try turning on USB debugging
yea, I'm having the same problem. The phone wont read the fat32 partition but it'll read the ext2. Trying to fix it tonight though.
If you are using ubuntu partition editor that will happen.. happened to me a good amount of times. Try formating it on a windows machine as a Fat32 and replug it on linux and it should work. That's what worked for me... took a couple of attempts... good luck!
hope you had backup your sd card
well i got my card working again.i think something went wrong when i partioned it and maybe it had something to do with the theme.i put the dreaimg.nbh and the update folder and luckily the phone read it.so it put me back to jf 1.30 rc30.so then i went back and updated.but as soon as the theme got erased everything went back to normal
Try this if you have windows, it worked for me, finally.
Use disk management:
Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management
In Computer Management, click "Disk Management" on the left which is under "Storage." In the lower portion on the right, you should see a list of all the volumes. Right-click on the one you want to format and click "Format"
If it is a removeable drive you want to format, use "Removable Storage" under "Storage" instead of "Disk Management."

Thanks to: http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/44545/
Yeah, even paragon partition manager was reading it wrong, but windows disk management was able to format it back to fat32 without any problem.

I installed this driver today to do the custom splash screen. And now, my computer does not recognize the phone as a USB storage device.
When I plug in the phone, I get the "mount/don't mount" option. I chose mount. When I go into My Computer, the phones MicroSD card isn't there?
Any ideas?
I just uninstalled the driver and it works fine again.
Ok I just bought a 32gb micro sd card.. and I put it in my phone..
how do i make that the primary card that everything gets downloaded it will go there...
because as of right now, I cant even move my games or apps to the external sd card.
You cant.
I'd guess it wouldn't be possible without any custom scripting, similar to apps2sd.
Why would you want to move your games/apps to the sd card?
If you go to "Manage Applications" most apps can be moved to SD card.

But only to the internal SD card, not the removable one.
as long as your rooted. I use root explorer and cut and past to my 32 gb ext card. Its easy with a file program as this. Until someone writes an APPTOExSD its the only way to make it happen. I know it sucks.

Because my internal phone memory is only 1.3 GB
You could run the CyanogenMod custom ROM. That points /sdcard to the microSD and /emmc to the internal memory. Warning, you have to load it on to your phone and you need to install a custom recovery. If that means nothing to you then I advise you read the development forum for a while before attempting anything. If, on the other hand, you know what I'm talking about then you should already know that it's a nightly build, not stable with no ETA of stability. That said, I've been running it for a few weeks now.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058131 for details on the ROM.

Try looking at an app call GL to SD.
Works on my tablet to move gigs of data to external, and the app will still open the apps.
Its like a temporary mount swap.

Hi guys need a little help here..
So my phone froze up earlier today and seemed that it shutdown, so no problem right, battery pull then reboot... Unfortunately, after rebooting after the "preparing sd card" prompt it said "Damaged SD Card" sd card damaged you.may have to reformat it.
Any ideas..??? I'm quite confused too as my sd-ext is mounting fine and I can go ahead and open it via root explorer, and I'm sure it's fine coz I'm able to open apps that I know are on SD.. but what's up with th fat32..? Sadly I don't have any backups.. any workarounds I can try before reformatting everything..? (Not even sure if reformat will do any good, as it is possible that the card itself got corrupt, though hopefully not)
Suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks!!

Alright so HM you are spot on my friend, tried reading it on the PC and loaded just fine, so I ran chkdsk and selected both options, slapped it back on my phone et voila! Good as new! Thanks for the help, I panicked a little and posted this straight away via mobile app, as it got "damaged" while I was in the office and had no means of checking my SD card via PC.. Again many thanks!
Although 1 question comes in mind, what could've caused this? As of course I would definitely want to prevent this from happening in the future.
if you could not reformat it through usual way, try low level format. work on me all the time when my sd card corrupted. but you have u back up first while u still can cuz when its done, kinda hard to get back up the data.
I would also check for a corrupted file somewhere on your SD card. It will be the one that you were working on before the freeze. If you go and try to delete it, surpirise, it won't delete. I had this same problem and ended up just renaming the folder "bug". Tried to move it over to PC and use Unlocker or File Assassin and no luck. Finally ended up pulling everything off the card and reformating completely.
Check you media and any icons that are grey with an ! in there. Easy fix for that is to go into DCIM/ Thunbnails and delete the top two items that aren't actaully thumbnails. Then go to settings and unmount->remount sdcard to initiate the media scanner. This way you don't have to delete the grey! picture to bring it back into good standing and the picture won't be lost.
Chances are that it happened b/c something interupted whatever you were doing and fritzed out the SD card. Maybe run a sd card and sd-ext check in AOR or MZor too.
On latest CMR. This has never been a problem. Bought a new sd card. Card works perfectly. Went to flash an update and have error saying can't read external sd card. Reformat. Remounted. Still no luck.
It's a 64gb.
Any one have a solution or had a similar problem?
Try TWRP... ****ty solution, but worth a try.
Lol yeah, thanks for the response though.
I would try it, but since I already moved all my files off and on after reformat I feel like I wasted too much time with this already.
I can still flash from internal card, and my external sd card works perfectly otherwise so it really doesn't make a difference.
I guess we can all just make note that a reformat doesn't work in this situation so it can save some people trouble and time.

How can I tell what the card is formatted to? Any reason not to leave it the way it is?

Haha the above scenario is why you likely don't want to leave it as is. No recovery will see your external sd card if it's formatted to exfat. So, you'll have to use your internal storage to flash roms if you don't have it formatted to Fat32.
You can check the format by plugging your external sd card into a computer right clicking the drive and pressing "Format" (don't worry a second window opens) or I think you can also see it by selecting "Properties."

Hi!! I tried everything, flashed stock firmware which worked for me every time. But now the phone just hangs after a minute of boot. I can see status bar and nav buttons but its black screen in main screen. I am unable to turn on developer tools because of this so can't even root phone or anything. Please help.
I used 'root external 2 internal sd' application from playstore earlier which caused the phone to not boot at all. So I flashed stock firmware. And now this problem
The application showed 16 GB internal and 16 GB external when I tried it.
I just tried to quickly go and check storage. It says 0 in internal storage and nothing as external. Can it be because of this?? Any fix? :/

May be your partitions are not read properly or they have become corrupt
. Do you flash the full ftf along with the wipe data option turned on ?
If not then do try this.

yes i flashed full ftf with both wipes checked.
today i removed my sd card and mobile worked fine after that. i used sd card via card reader and its fine, not corrupt. put it back in mobile and again the same problem of mobile hanging and going black. it shows 0 gb internal when i put sd card.
is there any fix to this or fixing partitions coding inside mobile?
