Storage disappers on XDA IIs - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

Three times now in about a month I get a message that Connection Manager can not read memory and that it needs to format Storage, Storage then disappears only way to get functionality back is to hard reset and restore from a backup. This is really getting annoying does anyone have any ideas?

Get another mem card. Had the same problem with mine. I now use pretec and kingston and there are no more issues.

This is in relation to Storage not Storage Card sorry if I was not clear.

Which blue angel do you have? SX 66? You should try to reflash your phone. It sounds like a third party app is currupting your storage. Try a hard reset and press the cancel button immediately when you see the customization installer come up. then to soft boot immediately. See if your storage dissapears after that.

It is an O2 XDA IIs, I will try you're suggesiton on the 3rd part apps.
Thanks

Phone kept resetting after soft reset!

Ok has that anyone had this issue with their Orbit?
I had noticed that the keyboard was not giving me any predicted text choices while typing, so I tried to change the input method to no avail. So I decided to perform a sft reset to sort the problem.
Oh was I not happy with the result as for over 5 mins all that was happening with my phone was the screen would light up o2 screen, green screen then enter pin and reset and it would do this again and again.
So even after removing the battery for a few minutes not change once I attempted to start the phone. I even reset the device via the button on the side and it made no difference.
I was just getting ready to bite the bullet and sound off the o2 when I remembered reading on here of something similar happening so I searched and found a posting saying to try and press soft reset just after phone started. And guess what it worked after that so what I want to know is why or what I did to get my phone working again?
Any ideas guys, only thing I can add was the phone was plugged in to my workstation USB so was charging when the initial soft reset was performed while using Valksoft's space reclaimer reset option.
Thanks

Ok an update the phone is now doing this everytime it is turned off. And since the last time it occurred I have been unable to get the phone to work.
Any ideas, I believe it could be a registry issue with the phone as I had recently installed a couple of programs that worked fine for a couple of days then while installing a dictionary several programs were uninstalled in error.
So after installing again this problem has arisen. It is possible that this was not th cause as I hae noticed tat the last scheduled back up was on the 22/01/07 so Monday's was not carried out possibly due to this?
my orbit has also this bug. after a soft reset he is booting up till the pin entry and then a boots again and again. Up to 5 times
Yes, my Orbit sometimes needs to reboot 4 times before it will sucessfully bring up the Home Screen. Anyone got any ideas on why???!!!??
I had enough of it doing this so I have done a hard reset and the problem has gone now just need to set everything back as I want it as backup still had the initial issue once it was retored.
I guess it was to do with the registry but not sure what exactly, maybe redundant reg keys etc?
I've experienced same problem on my dutch t-mobile mda compact III.
Happend after installing different programs, but i can't find the exact cause.
when i remove the microsd (on which i installed the programme's) the device starts en doesn't softreset when phone screen shows.
At first i thought it had to do with programs that tried to connect to gprs before even entering the pincode of the phone. But even without pincode it keeps restarting.
Happend on my 1gb microSD once en also on my 2 gb microSD.
Hope that someone knows what the cause is, so i can prevend it from happening.
Resets caused by the Memory Card Fault
Look at the posts regarding the memory card corruption if you back-up the card format it and then put it back everything is fine for a while. Not puttting a My Documents folder on the storage card usually helps with this issue...
rebooting.
hi,
as you well understand there are only 2 possibilities: software and hardware failure.
Surely, you don't want to think about hardware failure, because in this case the solution is to send it back to seller or to service center. Except for the cases caused by battery and sd card. These are 2 elements you can replace on your own easy.
However, "instability" of the device normally caused by installed software.
The first thing you do, like it or not, if you have a problem, hard reset your device.
BACKUP your DATA before hard reset!
You can try to to remove software piece by piece, but could be time consuming thing and not necessarily lead you to a good result.
Radical approach is to return device to "factory state" - hard reset.
If after hard reset you still have a problem with your device like accidentally rebooting, address to service center or ask seller to to replace the good.
regards,
rebooting.
double post.
I had the issue once... card corrupted. Had a back up so formatted the card, put data back in, issue gone.
This has happened to my orbit a couple of times. But I think if I reset by pressing the reset button on the side of the machine it only resets once. Resetting after installing apps for example from the prompt is bad, do it later by pressing the actual button. This seems to work for me but only time will tell.
my htc p3300 has reset problm
my htc p3300 restarts automatically while im calling or using net it starts autuomatically it goes till green screen where it shows wm 6.1 then restarts again n again i dnt know plz tell me is it software or hardware problm

Disappearing SD card

Since I've had my Artemis occasionally after a soft reset the SD card appears as not installed. I would have to remove the battery and sim etc, replace the SD card into the holder and start-up the phone and it'd usually be ok. The only trouble is lately it seems to be doing this more frequently and it is becoming more difficult to get the phone to recognise the card upon start-up again. Anyone else experience this? Have an cure?
i've had the same problem on my magican. The solution i found was to remove the SD card and place it back. It seems to me that cardreader's contacts broken.
Its big but you must read first.

So the card is corrupt? Because when I stick it into my pc it reads it perfectly fine, no problems or slowness.
My phone has stopped recognising the card completely now, but when I started the phone in safe mode using iLauncher it recognised it surprisingly. I'm suspecting there may be a piece of software or a setting stopping the phone from recognising it. I'll have a read through that link some more tho just in case there is a solution.
If anyone else has another solution then it would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Update: I've tried another 2 known working SD cards and neither of which are recognised by my device to it looks as tho its an issue with the phone and not the card. Has anyone experienced this before?
I've the same problem. I use 2 SanDisk cards, 512Mb and 2Gb, both of them seem to disappear as I boot the device. It hapens 50% of times and begins when I installed the HTC ArtemisSDEnhancement program.
I've tried to uninstall and reinstall several times and to format the crad but the errors continues at the 50% times.
When the P3300 reads the card I notice an abnormal slow response to any input and at the end it hungs for a big while. If you leave it alone it comes back but I usually need the phone now and I must have to soft reset.
I'm about to hard reset and try again but I don't have time.
Well I hard reset my device before I was going to post it back to o2 for a replacement and surprise surprise its working fine again!
That was 23 days ago and since then its behaved perfectly. I've installed the SD enchancement just in case but not certain if that's made any difference. Finger crossed its the last time the card starts disappearing.
This happens on my MDA C3 too now and again.
When it does, a soft reset does not solve it.
I have to take the battery out and then reinsert it.
After powering up the problemis not there.
Anyone know why this is happening as its really inconvenient to keep taking the battery out.
Thanks in advance.
BTW, one thing I have noticed, it seems to happen more often after a registry value change if that help anyone???

Very strange thing has just happened..

I was trying to take photo's with my desire, but I was recieving a message saying that the photo's couldn't be saved to the sd card. I was a bit puzzled as I knew I had more than 3gb of the card left. Anyway I decided to go into the storage settings of the phone and sure enough according to my phone the total space on the sd card was 0 and the available space was 0. and it also showed that the internal storage was 64.02 mb.
Anyway, I decided to take the battery out and remove the sd card, and then I reinstalled them. When my phone had restarted I checked the storage settings again and my phone is now showing that the sd card has a total of 3.69gb with 3.43gb available, and also, my internal storage is now showing that I have 78.44mb internal storage available.
Can someone shed some light on what may have happaned.?
This happens on Android sometimes. Just removing and reinserting the card will fix it 99% of the time.

If that's the case, then perhaps next time it happens you could try unmounting and mounting it (ie in software!). Would safe the hassle/risk of taking the phone apart each time.

Just out of curiosity, how to you mount the card after unmounting it? I looked everywhere but had to take the card out and insert it again....
I get something similar, but it's not free space related. Sometimes after unplugging my phone from my PC while being in Mass Storage mode, the card is mounted in read-only mode. It's an odd behaviour that only gets fixed if i replug it into my PC and remove it again.

Uh..yeah, just noticed there's no mount option. Odd, being a Linux device. You're going to have to unmount then reboot.
Perhaps this'll become possible when Android supports installing to SD card.
I've been experiencing the same thing this weekend, but I've not used my phone as a storage device, only battery charging. A reboot fixes the problem but not ideal! Is this a HTC phone issue or Google Android problem? It needs to be addressed!
I am also concerned about internal storage space as it seems to either decrease or increase for some reason. For example, yesterday I had 78mb free internal storage space, earlier on it had dropped to 67.04mb,, than an hour later it went down to 66.25mb I have since switched my phone off and on and now the internal storage is at 80.1mb. I am assuming that the internal storage issue is maybe to do with caches. Would this be correct.?

I don't know, but memory is supposed to be used. Android should be keeping stuff in memory so that it can be used quickly when needed rather than loaded/initialised from scratch each time. Depends on the OS really. I'd suggest not killing tasks and rebooting just to maintain a lot of free memory for the sake of it. If there's a problem then it needs to be fixed but I've not heard of anyone running out of memory and having trouble loading stuff after 24 hours after a reboot.

Same problem for me ... until I found the "SDMount widget". No need to reboot anymore.
Happened to me twice with my 32GB card, now don't take this the wrong way, but I'm glad to see others have experienced this with lower capacity cards!
Thanks for the headsup about the Mount widget, should be very handy.
sdmount ........ thank you for the heads up

[Q] Goes dead everyday!

My HTC Desire keeps going off everyday. It happens while browsing or during a phone call too. The screen goes blank. The power button also does not work to restart the phone. Then, I have to remove the battery and restart it. Is there any problem or bug? Can I restart the phone in any other way? I read about factory (hard) reset, but I will lose all my settings then. Will hard reset delete my contacts list too?
Also, it frequently shows an SD card error, which goes away if I restart the phone again. I've formatted the card several times.
I don't have too many apps installed and a have 4 GB sd card with about 2 GB of mp3 files only.
Looking forward to your response.
Thanks.

Att h810o camera issues

I take a picture and then i go back to look at it and i cant. It shows up as a gray screen or a grey screen with a white triangle and an exclamation point. Does anyone else have this issue?
Are you saving pictures to your external SD card? I had the same issue when using a generic SD card that wasn't properly formatted. I changed the format using my laptop and it seems to have corrected the issue. For my piece of mind though I decided to save photos to internal storage instead. If you're not saving to an external SD and still have that issue I'm afraid I can't offer any suggestions.
Same issues here. Pictures display fine initially. Later though I'll try to access them and they will be grayed out and marked corrupt. I've reformatted the extsd using the devices format options from the settings menu. I'm going to get a second card to see if this one is corrupted.
