This is the second time, allot of my apps moved to SD just disappeared. First time it happen also the SD card stopped working after some days the apps disappeared.
Now I have the same problem again, although I still can sync my PC with my SD card.
What is going on? And my phone is not rooted.

My SD card started acting up lately. I do not know what could have caused it but it seems to just be running incredibly slow for read speeds. When I turn on my phone it does say mounting storage card or whatever at the top and it mounts and I can see it in root explorer as well as all of my documents on the card, my beautiful widgets homescreen skin loads without problems and I can take pictures that save to my sd card. However, almost no program that uses the SD card can read from it succesfully. The gallery shows no pictures and simply says loading, even though I have multiple pictures on there and just took some with the camera app. The music program claims I have no music even though I have thousands of songs. My scorecenter app does not remember any of my favorite teams that are stored on the SD card.
I am on CM7 nightly build 23 right now, but this problem began a few days ago when I was on MIUI 3.05. I have a 16gb class 2 card that was working fine a few weeks ago, and I flashed CM7 thinking it might be my MIUI rom but the problem persists. I can still boot into recovery, see my SD card and load custom roms from it.
I attempted formatting the SD card through android (clear storage in storage settings) but the problem persists.
Is my SD card dying?
edit: write speeds are terribly slow as well. a 200mb file transferring right now looks like it will take about 30 minutes to complete. That's definitely not usual. Do you think this would be my sd card, or my phone? I'll have to try the card out in another phone or sd card reader. in the meantime any suggestions would still be appreciated
Hey guys. I know this phone has a lot of internal storage (especially compared to the OG EVO which was my last phone.) However, be that as it may I would still like to throw some apps on the SD card if its not going to fook everything up. I remember I tried moving SD compatible apps to the SD card when I was on Stock rooted and when I restarted the phone all the apps that were saved to the SD card would not work.
Is there a way to put apps on the SD card or is not doable at this point in time?
Did you wait for the media scanner to complete? I have all apps that can go to sd on my sd card and they work fine. Sometimes even when it's done scanning the apps take a while to load completely but once they do they work fine...

Has this happened to anyone?
I am on GB. THe SD basically causes the phone to freeze when i try to access any of the settings. What are my options here? to reformat the card? i looked at the card on a laptop and the contents seemed ok. THe SD card is a sandisk Class 10 32GB card. I haven't installed any new apps for the past couple of weeks so i don't think this is a problem

I`d copy everything off the card to my hard drive , then reinsert the card into the phone and reformat it via the phone software , then let the phone set itself back up with the empty card and see if it works . But...that working around the issue (if it works) , the root cause I`d guess as a corrupted setting on the SD card . For the record , mine sometimes throws a stroppy (every couple of months) and says the card isnt there , the tried and tested turn off/on worked for me .
b/Have you copied any program across to the SD card ? I`d try copying them back to the phone
Today, my 32GB SD card on my phone died today... so that means I have lost everything I had.. all my apps, backups, songs, saves on emulators, etc..
The SD card had to be broken and thrown in the trash, as it was not format-capable and was reading Blank SD Card constantly and my PC would not read it.
My only question now is, and it's a stretch but, ...if I get a new SD card, will I be able to SAVE ANY of what is on my phone now without an SD? My phone at current still shows icons from my SD card but tapping them leaves the App Not Installed, message.
Is it possible there's anything backed up the phone to actually TRANSFER sometime of the stuff on a new SD?

im sad to say that if the application was moved to the sd card it's near impossible to recover that specially if the sd card has been trown away, what you see are the icon traces which are saved in the system however the actual apk and other components on saved on the sd card can not be restored.
As far as I know, you guys are correct, the only way to find it would be in the /android-secure folder on the sd card.
Hello,
I had classical "SD card Unexpectedly Removed" problem. It was in the phone, and suddenly it reported it as removed. So i rebooted the phone, but it just wouldn't boot properly, displayed animation for a long time and then black screen, didn't react to power etc. So i started opening to remove the battery (and SD card) and all of a sudden it was booted, but still didn;t react to unlock, buttons, etc. I removed the SD card and it booted OK, took a long time to load widget ICONS, since I use icons from SD card (how could it load them at all if they're on SD card?, Cached?), and now it works OK without SD card.
Now, I put SD card in a PC and am backing it up right now to hard disk. The strangest thing is, that after booting w/o card, my phone switched to GERMAN!!! How to explain that??
Any ideas except backup/format card/restore?
To reply to my own question;
I booted without SD card, and then inserted SD card. And everything worked for a day. Then I noticed terrible drain, google services was on for several hours, so I rebooted. Phone AGAIN wouldn't boot with SD card. I booted without and isnerted SD card - everything seems OK.
Really strange. Any clues as to what might be happening?
