How do I fix this? I've checked the lost.dir folder and it is empty. I am not using a rooted device if it matters.

Backup the files and format the disk then copy everything back.
As above. Its fixed in the latest 1.29.401.11 so either root and flash a rom on that base or have to suck it up until you get OTA im afraid!

I've got the same issue, when i use disk usage app it shows 12GB+ of "system files" that's ridiculous but im now formatting my sd so will report back if it works or not.
As for rooting. Im not to keen on rooting just yet as the phone is still new and covered by warranty

you don't need to root to flash an RUU as long as you use the correct one depending on location/carrier
Copy files from SD card to your computer, Format the SD card in FAT32, copy items back onto SD card and done.
You shouldn't have to worry about it happening again.

me too. I would like to know how to recover data from it if anyone knows.
I've had this issue ever since upgrading to ICS. It will say sd unexpectedly removed, or corrupted sd card a few times per day. Tried a new sd card, and got a replacement phone from T-Mobile..still does it on every Rom I use. Quite annoying. But, I have found that taking out my battery and holding the power button for a few seconds to drain all the juice out seems to bring it back.

It means that the sd card is formatted to something that its not supported by the phone. I had this problem before, save all the data on your computer, make a folder and name it sd backup. then on the phone do a factory format only on the sdcard. or you can do it on recovery, it will format the sdcard too. then move all your stuff back from the computer and you're good to go
Dude I tried NTFS ext4 and fat32

I have this same issue and I run the stock rom. Has happened on 2 different cards now, with the last one making the card appear unformatted. I have to use data recovery software now to get all my stuff back. I'm thinking about getting my phone replaced as it's a couple weeks from 1 year old.

it happened to me again while i was restoring apps after loading a different rom. this time, i put it in a card reader and ran chkdsk /r on it, and all my files reappeared. so i back it up this time. i am not sure why it happens so much.
i had this with one of my sdcard not long ago. i copied all the data from the sdcard to my computer and formatted the sdcard using another phone and put the data back on it and never had an issue since. i probably could have used the s2 to format while i was troubleshooting but it got fixed before i could try.

If you can save all your files to computer then let the computer format sd card to default fat32 not ntfs. Then move files back to sd card and it should fix the problem. I have done this method several times and it worked for me.
Three days ago i found out what rooting was, and i thought i would try it, so after many searches i managed to root my phone. Next i tried to install CM 10 on my htc one v cdma, and at first it kept rebooting, but i managed to fix that. My problem now is that whenever I try to go into storage the phone goes out of settings and says "unfortunately, settings has stopped" i don't think it is mounted, but on the notifications bar it says its safe to remove the sd card, this is not the only problem, sometimes when i turn it on or wake it up the phone background is like copies of things... i cant really explain it, but it looks like it has 10 clocks, or phone icons everywhere, and i cant click on anything.
Can someone please help me it would be appreciated.
ps (I keep hearing about jellyboot 5 kernel, but when i search google for a download it turns up nothing every time, so can someone please projide a link).
Thank you all ahead of time.
u didnt factory reset. Do a factory reset and flash kernel.

Use the 12-30 super sick kernel. It solves a lot of issues. Id also suggest backing all your data from your sd card to your computer and letting android reformat the card.
Sure it takes a few minutes, but it solves problems.

I went to the storage option and here is what I see-
Total Space-9.62GB
Applications-327MB
Pictures,Videos-24.00KB
Audio-60.00KB
Downloads-3.16MB
Miscellaneous-43.03MB
Available space-5.96GB

I believe when u did your factory reset you forgot to format /system and /data. (Most likely (/data) and its probably media and other apps and files that have left their files on your phone from your previous run.

I did a reset from CWM twice with everything that I saw that said reset or wipe. And I did a factory reset from the settings menu on the phone and I also formatted the phone storage from my PC. When I open my phone's storage there is nothing on it.

How would you know what would be safe to delete from that? I seem to have 2 backups there holding quite a bit of space, or would it be best to transfer to my sd card?

Well, /data/media/clockworkmod are nandroid backups you've made in recovery.. So, if you have newer versions stored on your SD card there would be no need to keep them; otherwise, definitely move them to your SD card.

I tried to do that but it kept saying "operation failed" and I had a few backups on my PC so I just deleted them. When you do a back up, do a ext sd card back up and it will put it on your sd card.

Mine worked, I used root explorer (the paid version) and it gave me the option to transfer, took 5 minutes to move each file, roughly 3.6gb each, now my internal storage went from 1.4gb to 7.63 :good: and I am also having success with apps2sd, but on the international rom that supports it.

Right above the red paragraph.
I backed up my files using cwm because i wanted to flash a rom. I tried flashing the rom and it did not work. I then went into recovery mode and everything went fine. Got all my files and apps/data back. For the life of me I cannot find the file in which the backup is located. I have been in the clockworkmod folder......nothing. I have read the other threads about this and tried everything. The backup files are on my phones internal memory and I only have about 1GB left after then backups. I need to find these files desperately so I can delete them and get some memory back. Any thoughts on how I can go about doing this so I can stop stressing out. I really cannot find the files location. It is baffling. Thanks for any help that comes my way.

The back up file is located at /data/media/clockworkmod/backup. I know you already found out how to do it with the app, but I felt I should tell you.

Didn't mean to thank you. You actually don't need a root browser. The rom manager app actually tells you where the files backups are stored. The path is right under 'Backup Current Rom'

I tried using a root browser and even checked hidden files. Still could not find the files. Using cwm was the only solution. Anybody know anything about 64GB sd cards and getting them to work in a t mobile galaxy s4. i have formatted every which way, exfat, fat32 and still my files will not stay on the card. I usually get a damaged sd card notification or blank sd card. I have contacted t mobile. They told me their S4's were only compatible with 32GB sd cards. I have tried with two different cards. I'm thinking about getting another card, but need information on what to do once I receive the card.

I have no problems using the 64gb card in either FAT32 or exFAT format.
Are you stock Rom or what Rom?
What brand sd card are you using? Could just be a bad card.

I bought a sandisk 64gb. I seems to be working well.....so far. I will let you know.
Your card may not be completely hosed. You may be able to save it by reformatting it.
Thing is, while TouchWiz carries the ability to handle exFAT-formatted cards (the standard for SDXC cards), CWM ordinarily not (this is due to patent issues; blame Microsoft). Unofficial builds that tack the ability on risk legal trouble so I won't discuss this.
There ARE Windows programs that can reformat the card (like Easus Partition Manager). IINM, there are similar tools already available for LInux and Mac users. While FAT32 prevents you from carrying big files around, it should be visible to any 3rd-party recovery system.
One thing I should chime in. Since the GS4 uses Android 4.2 and up, the nandroid backups you make are hidden away somewhere in your storage. They won't be visible ordinarily because of filesystem protections. As noted earlier, the recovery programs can see their own backups and allow you to manage them. In addition, if you're using CWM, I think ROM Manager (from the same developers) can let you browse the backups from within Android.
PS. I've personally found the best success with SanDisk SD cards. I've had trouble with PNY ones, but I haven't used Sony ones much (usually due to price).
I tried doing the unmount trick, the one with the terminal. Still nothing
The "funny" thing is that I can install free apps without problem, but when I download Swype and Poweramp unlocker (which I bought) i keep getting this error
solutions?
Did you try a Link2SD?

Hello, I have flashed the JellyKat ROM v5 on my NoteII and got a new sd card (ADATA 32GB) from ebay, the card was sealed so I hope I wasn't cheated, but randomly I see these things in my DCIM folder and I can't write to the card and the phone seems to not read the media on it music photos everything, and I can't install any apps on it or update existing app or even create a folder through the default touchwiz My Files.
I tried to format the card on the PC but can only do quick format because it loads and loads and then say windows can't format this, I also formated it via the phone it worked for a while and then stopped working again, now I don't put a card in the phone.
