I had the following problem:
1: something deleted every files and folders from my card during one night.
2: something changed the a couple folder names to: ∙−Ö and made this folders empty. Plus I was not able to delete this kind of folders. I had to format the whole card.
Any Idea what is it?
Try to insert SD Card in to Card Reader, and check card "chkdsk D: /F /R" (where D: - is you letter of SD Card)
Already happened to me several times...You have to format and reeinstall all ...after that i always make a backup of my sd. I noticed that happened more often after a sync and when i stoped the the sync. I unnistalled spb insight and after that never happened again dont know if u have it too...i didnt noticed any more coincidence...but i think it happened before that too
Hi!
I have many Spb programs installed but insight.
So tha case is not cleared yet...
Ever someone tried to contact HTC support? At least they must be aware of that...

Pull the card out and pop it in a Normal PC Card reader and see if you can see the contents. For some reason PPC's will occasionally corrupt the formatting of the card to majke it unreadable to it but PC's sometimes can. If you can read it with a PC, then copy the contents off, reformat usign the PC and copy the contents back and try it in the PPC again.
ok will do that. but isnt that dangerous to lose data tat way? also, when i could read the memory card, the folders r there but the files r gone. possible virus?
i can find my memory card on the card reader. i tried formatting it but it gave me an error "Window is unable to complete the format". What is wrong?
Were you able to copy your info off of the card? How were you trying to format it?
Make sure that you DON'T have a window to the card open when trying to format.
HELP ME WITH ADVISE!
My problem is back again. My data at certain folder in the memory card is disappeared but still able to browse the memory card. Then i soft-reset a couple of times and the data comes back. It took the dopod 838 pro to read the memory card very long time b4 able to show the data on the card.
What should i do?
Check the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager. There are two DWORD values - PNPUnloadDelay and PNPWaitIODelay. If they are not set to 8196 - do that.
its 8196 as posted...
Looks to me like 2 possibilities:
Your SD Card is shot; or
Your phone has lost the plot.
If it reads OK on the PC card reader, the card is probably OK.
I'd try a hard reset of the phone first. (Make sure you have backed up everything first.)
Also, clean the SD slot as best you can to make sure there are no biscuit crumbs or old socks fallen into the hole.

Seems like some problems with this card. You didn't try another one?
Hopefully someone on here can help me. I've just been adding speecameras to the Tomtom app on my HD. The first set went on OK, but when I tried adding a second, then starting up the Tomtom app to check all was OK, it came back with the following message:
"The file 'TomTom Navifgator' cannot be opened. either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be foind. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."
Now I wouldn't mind doing as it says, but I thought I'd try a soft reset first - but when the phone 'booted' back up, all of the other installed apps, also failed, with the same message.
Apps include gsen, HD Tweak, mini gps, among others.
These were all working fine previously.
Anyone have any ideas as I don't want to have to re-install all of them again?
Thanks.
sounds like a corruption has happened somewhere. check your SD card (if that's where you installed them) and look for suspicious characters, or missing files. When it happened to me on my old phone all the directories were suddenly empty!!
I did install them all on the sd card. Had a look and it doesn't appear to be corrupt.

Did you change any settings with HDtweak, have the same problem at this time, only programe I added was HD tweak 5.4.x. Good luck
Maybe the same problem
I've also had a problem like this once on my HD. I remember, I had just installed HDtweak when it appeared first time. I could not find any solution on how to fix it, so I did a Hard Reset...
Hope anyone can fix it.
My HD said that ".NET framework 3.5" is needed (it was installed), and I tried over and over again to reinstall it, but it just gave me another error. Do your device do this?
Had a similar problem, after using Storage Card and HD in USB mode. All of a sudden my Storage Card appeared in Windows and Resco Explorer twice, Storage Card and Storage Card2. Of course none of the programs would want to start, since the path was changed.
I copied all the programs from the storage card to the desktop (with the intention to reformat the card), reset the HD without the storage card, put the card back in - card #2 was gone - and copied all the files back to the card. Solved my problem.
Very odd. Bit the bullet and started re-installing the apps (not as painful as I thought actually) and they all installed, overwriting the existing version - except, similar to Lucas 0511, they seemed to now be on Storage Card2. And a 'normal' (on device) folder had been created, named Storage Card.
All works OK, but I really don't understand it!?!?

I encountered similar problem in the past.
Both My diamond and HD also have got similar problem.
Diamond: suddenly showed up 2 internal memory.
HD: 2 SD card.
One episode, my card was even corrupted.

I think your card was corrupted.
No, not corrupted, but during USB disk drive mode access to the card for other apps is blocked. So if an app on the device (in my case usually Opera) attempts to write to the card during USB disk mode it cannot find it - and hence will create and write into a new Storage Card folder.
After the USB disk drive mode is closed the folder name "Storage Card" is now taken, so the card will automatically be reassigned to "Storage Card2" - and apps installed to Storage Card previously will no longer find it.
Solution: Delete the "new" Storage Card folder, card out, reset, card back in - and all should be back to normal.
I've had this problem too. It'll manifest as all the icons for programs installed on your SD showing up as blanks. When you go into your file manager you'll see Storage Card and Storage Card2. Storage Card2 is your storage card, but because all your shortcuts are looking for stuff on Storage Card, it can't find the data.
One cause may be that for some reason your mail application starts writing attachments to a new, non-existent storage card. All you have to do is delete it. (Make sure you're deleting the right one - you can remove the other if you want to be belt-and-braces safe, but just checking in the file manager is probably good enough.)
I've had this problem a couple of times on my Kaiser. Unfortunately the only way to correct it was to do a hard reset as I couldn't find any solution anywhere. So far it hasn't happened on my HD.
cont...bugs88...
if your device is showing 'storagecard' and 'storagecard2',
remove memory card, now the file explorer will still show 'storagecard',
delete the 'storagecard' and reinsert the memory card,
perform soft-reset.....
Has anyone experienced this - and even better have a solution?
running stock 2.29.405.2 for a few weeks now, but all of a sudden apps have dissapeared that are installed on the SD card.
also i cant move any apps (i know not all apps allow) to the SD card as a 'failed to move application' notice appears.
any ideas peeps?
SD card
I would do this.
1)Check your SD card. Can you access your sd card? Could be a corrupted card.
2)Take out your sd card and put it back in.
3)Power off phone and restart. Wait for a while, see if your apps come back.
Isn't 2.29.405.5 out now from OTA?
also I agree - make sure you can access the SD and reboot

Tried all of these - With a different SD card i can move the apps. Does that sound like a corrupt card, and if so is there anything i can do?

It seems to have been pulled (I waited until I had my goldcard available) and is not available now. Is there a link to do it manually?
I am going through the same thing. I determined I had a corrupt card. I will be getting a new card today and reinstalling all of my apps that were installed on the corrupt card.
Had the same issue. Noticed that the .android-secure folder on SD is read only. Changed to read/write in root explorer, rebooted and apps are back.

no joy with that, but thanks anyway.
i might look at deleting that folder and starting again - it will give me an excuse to get rid of all the crap i have anyway.
But first i might try recovery - i know that you cannot see the content of the .android_secure for security reasons
I just recovered from the same problem (tried the tips here, but they didn't work in my case.) I thought I'd add the solution that eventually worked for me, just in case it's of any help to anyone else.
Remove SD card from phone and insert in a Windows PC
Run CHKDSK /F from the command prompt, just in case there are any file errors (there were none in my case.)
Rename the .android-secure folder to something else (it really doesn't matter what you call it.)
Eject the card and put it back in the phone, allow the phone to start up and initialise the SD card. It will create a new .android-secure folder. (I tried creating the folder on the PC, but that didn't work. The phone needs to create it for itself.)
Card back in the PC, and cut and paste the files from the folder that you previously renamed into the new .android-secure folder.
Card back in the phone, and if your problem was the same as mine, your apps are back.
You might also be able to do this with the card in situ via the USB cable. I haven't tried it.
Out of interest, this happened to me after nothing more serious than a dead battery. The phone was at 90%+ charge when I went to bed last night, but dead this morning. I can only assume that I left a power hungry app running by accident.
Thanks for the info. i had already resolved mine by renaming the folder to delete it. luckily i had most apps backed up so it didnt take long to go back in.
I have been trying to think what caused it, and you reminded me that my battery dies a couple of days ago, so was probably this that caused it also.
Hi
I have a problem with my Ace 2 on italian job ex 1.2
last thursday i get a problem with my ext sd card she was write-protected by her self i did nothing with it (is that because my telephone) I did a wipe data last friday and yesterday when I launch an app it say : "An error has been occured"
please help me :'''''''(
thanks
PLEASE ANYONE CAN HELP ME? :''(
When I want to copy my pictures on my PC it say me "Data supplied is of wrong type"
Is that because my sdcard or my telephone?
I'm not sure but i think its because of your sd card. Plug your card to pc and try to format it, if it is not allowed (write protected), your card possibly dead. Where do I know that, I have a sd card like that. I can't format it, or delete - read somethink in it. It always say that "write protected"
I hope I was wrong and there is another problem about your card.
I formated it, it's not write-protected at this moment.
But i get this problem when I would backup my apps with Helium and then with Titanium Backup (a file which is named µTitani~~ something like that which I couldn't deleted). And when I deleted my apps backups of Helium, they re-apparead (before i formated my sd card)!
But I got this problem "An error has been occurred" when I launch an app (when I move it to SD Card). :'(
I'll buy a new sd card then I'll see.
EDIT: I saw in a another forum anyone which had the same problem as me (with sd card down-market, like me), he buy a new sd card (sandisk) and now all is good for him

Happened to me once, reformatting fixed it.
Mine is a pretty poor card - "Europa Technology" brand, "class 10" but is slower than a Panasonic class 4 from 2007...
I have a T-Mobile Note 3, running DomPop v4.3. A new version (v5) came out and i was like why not. So i downloaded the files to my phone, which gets downloaded to my internal SD Card by default. I then moved it to the external SD Card. Then i backed up everything using TWRP 2..8.5.0. to my external SD Card, and did a normal wipe (data, cache, storage). After that i proceed to install the file and i cannot find it in the folder. I kept looking for 5 mins but no luck. So then i think there might have been some mistake and i'll restore to the backup i just made and that's not there either. I rechecked to make sure i hadn't backed it up in the internal storage but its not there either. So i reverted back to an older backup, which was still in my external SD Card. Upon reboot, i used ES File explorer to check my external Storage and the file i copied and the backups that i made wasnt there. Another interesting thing i noticed was that my TitaniumBackup folder had 0 files. I always make backups before each install and i'm sure there was 200+ files in there. So then i do a titanium backup, download the file again, but this time i copy it to external SD Card. Then i reboot into recovery, trying to install the file but its missing again. What ?? I reboot system without doing anything further and check my external SD Card and i see that the file i copied isnt there. And the Titaniumbackup folder that i just populated like 2-3 mins ago is empty again. I've repeated the process again and again - copying the file, doing titanium backup, and only rebooting my phone, and the files keeps getting deleted. I dont think its a R/W issue because i can write to those folders in the external SD Card just fine without any issues . Its just that when i reboot its gone. So what gives?
You might be better off asking in the DomPop Q&A thread. Maybe someone has had the same issue or already solved your issue over there.
Titanium backup is funky, and can sometimes create more problems than it can solve.
If you have mismatched bootloader and reflash the backup will bork your phone, can't figure out why you would use TB, I tried it once during my Galaxy S2 days and never bothered with it.
Maybe there is a different app that works better on lollipop.
Or you could be having the internal SD card issue that some are having, there is a fix in one of the update threads try that.

Thanks for your input guys. The issue was with my Transcend Premium 300X 64 GB external SD Card. I'm not sure what but something broke it, and broke it bad to the extent that i cannot write on it anymore. I can view the existing files in there, copy it but cannot delete it. I cannot format the SD card either. I tried using command prompt (disk part, format), softwares (SD Card Formatter, HDD Low Level Format Tool, etc) but no luck. Keeps saying its unable to format. I tried removing the write protection which was off to begin with, and scanned it multiple times with different Anti-Virus software but to no avail. And yes, i also removed the lock in the adapter. So yea, seems like i'll have to throw this one away. Unless someone knows a hard-core tool to format this sucker because i tried most of the conventional ways/tools i can find in the internet and it didnt work for me. Thanks.
Check out you tube with different search prompts, you never know, someone may have put out a video on it.
Good luck.
