Hey guys I notice that the EncFiltLog.menc file causing my sd card to become very sluggish and practically unusable. When this happens it cause my touch pro not to boot up until the sd card is taken out and placed in the computer and remove the EncFiltLog.menc file. With that said while running the sd card on the computer it takes 5 min to load up and removing the EncFiltLog.menc file takes 5 mins it self... however once its gone the sd card is back to normal running fine with no problems.
This started to happen when I try to mess around with XDandroid. Whats causing this file randomly go to the root of my sd card?
It's created by mencfilt.dll. Use a rom that has it removed. I can't tell you why it's acting up, though.
moved to the right forum, please post in the correct forums.
see ever since I remove the android out my 8gb sd card it doesn't do it any more lol however if I put my 2gb sd card with android its fine.... something with 8gb and android... or idk
Xoom WiFi 3G model..........
Twice now my SD card has disappeared without explanation. I got it working last night by shutting down the Xoom and restarting it, however, it doesn't seem to be fixing the problem this time, by just shutting down the Xoom and restarting it.
Any ideas?
One side note, I haven't been able to test it out yet but when I went in to Best Buy today the wireless lady shut it completely off without unmounting the SD card. Would that have anything to do with it?
EDIT
Ok I figured it out and thought I would post in case someone else has this problem. There are probably other ways to get your SD card to show up while in the Xoom but this is what I did to fix it.
1. Removed SD card from Xoom and put it in my computer
2. Copied files to computer (optional)
3. Formatted the SD card in the computer
4. Put files back onto the SD card from the computer
5. Booted the Xoom completely off
6. Placed freshly formatted and loaded SD card back into the Xoom
7. Start Xoom back up...........viola. Magic! A lot of work in order to get things working but whatever it takes, right? I'll make sure I unmount the SD card in the Xoom before completely shutting it down next time.
Well, I stock rooted yesterday, and all went well, except for my sd card.
I did the "wipe" stock rooted and removed my sd card before doing so, so that I would lose the items on the sd card. But a couple folders are missing/hiding or I can't see them.
I'm missing the Camerazoom folder that had all my images in it, as well as all the music that I've had on my sd card. I've had the music on that card for over 3 years, and now I can't seem to find it.
Would this be hidden somehow? Is there a Windows app that will let me view all the items on my sd card while it's in the phone? I have the drivers installed and I can peruse my card and my phone, but am not finding either folder using this method.
Please advise and thank you.
Hey wolfgrrl,
Can you directly connect to computer or
use an SD Reader to check for the files.
This will verify if they are there or not.
Sometimes (and I have seen this happen before)
just removing the SD Card (for about a minute) then
replacing it may fix it 4U.:victory:
Just remember to turn off phone first, then remove
battery, then remove SD Card. Reverse order and turn
on phone.
Hope This Helps:fingers-crossed:
Unfortunately, that did not work. :crying:
I don't have a reader for a card this small. Such is life.

I'll try to keep this as succinct as possible.
Galaxy Note 2, Android 4.1.2, Rooted.
Few weeks ago began having trouble with audio play back. Any file longer than 5-10 minutes (audiobooks, podcasts etc) would either not playback at all or would after playing for 5 or 6 minutes begin jumping and skipping and then eventually skip to the next track. If I tried to select a point in the play back the song would skip.
Found that if I downloaded the files directly to the San Disk 64 gb SD card these problems would happen but if I downloaded them directly to the phone's internal storage it was fine. This pointed to me that the problem was with the SD card. Also noticed at this point that if I deleted files on the SD card then unmounted the SD card and remounted the deleted files would re-appear.
I re-formatted the SD card using my phone which didn't solve the problem all of the files were back again. I re-formatted the SD card on my mac to exFAT and plugged it in only to find all of the files present again. I used my Windows partition on my Mac to reformat the drive using Windows and found the same problem yet again.
This lead me to believe that the problem was with my phone. So I reformatted the SD card using my computer, and then did a factory reset of my phone. Low and behold I plug my SD card back into my phone only to find the 32 GB of files on the SD card present again. At this point it really didn't seem to make sense. I had formatted the SD card on my computer, opened it and found it to be empty. I then ejected it and plugged it in to find 32 GB of files on it. All accessible and playable, except for the skipping as mentioned above.
So I tried one last attempt. I unmounted the SD card, and factory reset my phone again. Then plugged the SD card into my computer and using the mac disk utility I reformatted the drive using the 7-pass erase system (which according to the description on my computer is good enough for the department of defense).
After waiting two and half days for the reformatting to be done I plugged my SD card into my factory reset phone and lo and behold the 32 GB of files have returned.
At this point I have accepted that I need a new SD card but this honestly doesn't seem possible anymore. Does anyone have any advice? Or heard of anything happening like this before?
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this huge message everyone, I really appreciate it.
I've had my Idol 3 for a couple of weeks now and I just love it . . . so do my 'green' friends! However . . .
My Idol 3 got a major upgrade today, and now the phone won't permit mounting of the SD card . . . home of many apps!
The option under Settings/Storage is not greyed out, it's just that when I tap 'Mount SD card' nothing happens. I'm also getting a continuous notice, i.e. "SD card safe to remove".
The card was not removed either before or after the upgrade, but since I have had the above problem I have done reboots, restarts and hard reboots, and and have removed and replaced the card a couple of times . . . . I'm at a loss on this one!
Does anyone have any suggestions that will help me get the SD card mounted please?
Many thanks!
Just maybe a very strange coincidence here. I have been using the same 32gb sd card since I bought this phone and never had a single issue with the card or the phone (related to the sd card). This morning I checked to see if there was an update, I did not download or install it (since I'm rooted) but man ever since that moment I have been having f-ed up sd card issues. The same types of problems with it randomly unmounting the card and telling me the card is safe to remove, finding the card unmounted and touching the Mount button does nothing and just now I removed the card and my Chromebook is asking if I want to format it... WTF?
All this makes me wonder if Alcatel secretly installed some updates in the background today even though I did not intend for a system update. Hmmm.
I had similar issues with a sandisk microsd.....with it randomly losing everything on the sd....I switched to a samsung microsd and the issue went away so I think it's just very picky with the cards and you should try different manufacturers...also fat32 seemed more reliable than exfat. Samsung and Adata are two I had good results with outside sandisk which I previously considered the gold standard.
Thanks folks.
At this time I don't think it's an SD card issue unless the update corrupted it.
I mean, it was fine before the upgrade guvnor!

Backup the data to pc...format the card in the phone...copy the data back.
Same happened to me on the first OTA update and on this OTA update. I took my SD card out, put in a computer, copied all my files to a desktop folder, re-formatted the SD card, moved all my files from the desktop back on to the SD card once the format was complete and the phone mounted the card no problem. Total PITA and will consume about an hour and a half of your time to do all this. Not sure why this keeps happening on OTA updates, but next time, if Alcatel releases another OTA update, move all your apps back to the phone and remove your SD card prior to initiating an update. Only think I can think of?
Thanks both. Formatting is apparently the only way to go except that my computer wouldn't read the card via the phone.
Soooooo, I have mounted the micro SD in an adapter, and the card is currently being copied to my computer.
I'll let you know how that goes after I've done the format and copied things back.
Maybe just removing the SD card prior to an upgrade will prevent corruptions, or do you think that the upgrade 'needs' the SD card in place?

As the external sd is considered "optional" there is no reason you can't pull it prior to doing an upgrade to eliminate the chance of it getting corrupted.
If you have TWRP flashed and your situation is like mine was you'd find IT could read the card just fine and adb access while in TWRP copied off the data for me so seems related to the actual rom.
The solution
As some of you may have expected, and suggested, I was able to resolve my issue by . . .
1 Backing up the data on the SD card
2 Formatting the SD card
3 Copying my data back to the SD card
However, the .android_secure folder on the SD card was 'locked' by the phone, so I removed it and using Windows Explorer I copied the contents - all my apps that had been moved to the SD card - manually.
If you go this route yourself, your 'favorites' that you dragged to the home screen will be missing, so you'll have to re-do that process. It only takes a matter of minutes.
I want to thank those of you who responded with suggestions that pushed me all the way to the top of my 'success' mountain. The view is great!
Now if only the upgrade hadn't corrupted my SD card in the first place. Grrrrrr!
However, for those that don't realize it, the Idol 3 is a terrific phone that is soon to increase in popularity and recognition.

You might consider installing syncthing and running it on the pc and phone...it uses p2p technology to sync folders between devices....open source version of bittorrent sync. Glad you are back up and running.
