SD Card won't read on Epic 4G - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I turned my phone off and on and now my SD card isn't being read. My phone says it's mounted and I can go into it with Root Explorer and mess with anything and everything, but when I go into Apollo or Google Play Music, no music is shown, and when I go into gallery, no pictures are shown. How do I fix this?

Check for a .nomedia file on the root of your sd card.

I found it and deleted it, but no luck. Still can't find music files and pictures in Gallery.

Did you reboot after and verify it was gone? Also look in your music and picture directories for that file and remove it. Then reboot.

Issue with apk and zip

O wow my phone is all jacked up. No matter how I put. This apk it on my phone it shows up as a zip. I email it, download it, transfer with cable. It shows as an apk on my pc but only shows as a zip on my phone. Hrmm somethings not right. It is working for other ppl. I try to extract with androzip and I get all the internal stuff no apk. So I tried to flash the zip and it locked up my phone. Any ideas?

Now why did you start a brand new thread instead of waiting for an answer where you originally posted?
I will try to help you out there.
I didn't want to have it deleted there as that wasn't the original topic. Sorry

it'll find them anywhere, as long as it's not in (or underneath) a folder with a .nomedia marker file in it.
Just make a music folder if there already is not one, put them there. I think Android searches the whole phone for tracks anway.

You moved apps to your sd card probably? That's when you get those symbols
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
just wipe cache partition and reboot they should be gone or reinstall if they are missing. That happens to me alot.
Just reboot. Since you removed those bloatwares, after you exit the app you used to remove them with, your app drawer looks like that. Just reboot.
I rebooted in to cwr,flashes super cache wipe and rebooted back into ics,but the problem is still there
Edit: I kinda fixed the problem. I disabled them trough settings--application

How did you remove the bloat? Thru titanium? Thru the ROM?

That could be your problem. You have to uninstall, not just delete the apk's. Try uninstalling thru titanium, ROM toolbox, or the ROM. See if that makes a diffrence

Use a root file explorer and go to /system/lib/modules to see if vibrator.ko is in that folder. If it is there, make more room in /system and reboot

Even after a reboot? If it's not working after that, all I can think of is fix permissions in recovery or try a different kernel.
