Guys I got a sdcard read error this morning but everything was ok. Still could see the sdcards storage and everything. Upon further examination it randomly erased some files which included my game files and my ROMS.
anybody had this type issue before.

I haven't experienced anything like this on my Inc2, but did on my OG Droid. Somehow, a few files became corrupted. I moved all important files and re-formatted the card. Never had the issue again.
I haven't had this issue, but from time to time my sd card randomly unmounts. I have to take off the case and back, remove and re-insert the SD card, put the phone back together and reboot the phone. Very annoying since most of my apps are on the card.
Yeah I backed up everything and reformated the card. So hopefully all will be good.

i have had this happen a couple times on my older phones (Eris, DroidX, Dinc1...)
Reformatting and trying again has worked a couple of times, but i evenutally had to replace 2 SD cards.
I have not had this problem with my Dinc2.
One thing I stopped doing was just unplugging it from my laptop after moving files back and forth.
Now I make sure to kill the connection from my phone first (and watch the explorer window close automatically on my laptop), THEN i unplug the phone.
Probably just lucky so far, but I am sticking with that process until proven that it doesn't matter :good:
Everything has been fine since it happened.

When using USB storage from your phone you always want to safely remove the USB device from within the OS first before turning off USB storage on your phone.

I was running CM 7.0 and now I'm running CM7.01 and every once in a while, like every month or 2 my phone apps will start crashing, saying the services are crashing and the phone just spirals down and I have to reload a backup. Even if the backup is just a couple days old it will reload and be fine for a while. This happens randomly here in San Diego but it also happened when I was in Hawaii back in March and it happened in New York in september also. But it has happened several times here at home. Not sure why, am I being spiked by someone or something, Verizon sending out something that crashes me?? Getting old dealing with it but luckily since I'm rooted with backups I can fix it pretty fast but I do lose all of my texts and anything I loaded since the backup. Weird stuff. This is the second ROM that this is happened with too, I was running the Heyitslou ROM, forgot the name right now but it happened on that too which made me try CM7.
I know my post is sorta vague but anyone else having this issue, any ideas????
Try running Fix Permissions in ROM Manager.
Tried that many times, also cleared Dalvic. It just seemes that after a while it wants to die. If other people aren't seeing this maybe it's my phone hardware??
sound like an issue with not enough free space in data data.

Just to make sure are you fully wiping or restoring system data?

It's from your /data/data folder filling up. Run "ng cache cleaner"
Actually I think I might have found the problem if this makes sense. I tried to copy some files off of my SD card and I found a bunch of read problems with my card and had to buy a new one. Could the SD card being bad make the whole phone crash?? Only time will tell if the problem is gone, if the crashing stops now with the new card. It was a kingston 32gb, Class 4. (piece of crap)

That could very well have been the problem. CM does depend on the SD card. I had the issue with force closes before. I simply copied everything from my SD card and reformatted it to FAT32, then copied everything back on to it and haven't had any issues since.
I decided to format my SD Card to try to clear up several problems I've been having. I'm not sure if it helped yet, but that's not what on concerned about at the moment.
Copying the data from my card and formatting it went well enough. Copying the data back to the card, however, was a totally nightmare.
The card would only take a small amount of data at a time before freezing up the windows explorer session, at which time I would have to unmount my card, disconnect the USB cable, and then re mount and start the explorer session over again. The limit seemed to be just over 100 MB, sometimes a lot less.
Copying 5GB of data back 100mb at a time took ALL MORNING. All morning of plugging and unplugging. Mounting and unmounting.
What could be going on here? Bad SD card? Bad USB drivers or connection? I'm using a solid aftermarket cable.

I have always had this issue also, with stock sdcard. If I tried too much data at one my explorer.exe would crash... I haven't figured out a solution yet either.

Try putting the card in the sd slot of the pc...assuming you have. Lightning fast and easy. If u don't have, they are cheap. Also, the class of the sd card matters too. Google it.

I've done that before. It never works. I'm assuming because they need to be formatted differently for windows and Android. Putting my phone's SD card in my PC usually locks up the PC explorer.

A few minutes ago I went to get a new ringtone for my phone on zedge. It said "SD Card not inserted.", then exited. I knew I hadn't taken it out so i went to my music player and there was no music, went to gallery and it said no external memory and closed. I popped the back case off, removed and reinserted the sd card and my phone came up with a notification that said "Damaged SD Card" and suggests that i format it. Now, i've had this sd card since i got my original dinc2 last december, and never had any problems. I got my replacement phone late august and still haven't had any problems. i haven't dropped it or anything. So i put my sd card in an adapter and plugged it into my laptop and the laptop reads it fine. i can view/access all files on the sd card. i don't have another sd card to test it on though :/. so should i back up my sdcard and format it to see if it fixes it or is it the sd card slot on the phone.

I agree, back up your data, just in case the card actually does die.

after about 5 restarts it's working fine now. thanks for the help though, i'll remember it for future instances.
i think my phones in the halloween spirit of scaring me.
So my SanDisk 32gb sd card stopped working and became completely unresponsive no matter what device i put it in. I tried it in various computers and my tablet and nothing will recognize it except the xperia play and all it says is blank SD card and i tried to format it but it wont even format. Is there anyway to force my SD card to format so i can use it again or is it dead.
I've had the same problem mate.
It was the SanDisk 32gb also so it's probably a bug with the memory card.
There's nothing you can do except for getting a new one
Now I have a Sony 32gb and I almost had the same problem on that....when I insert it into my tablet it sometimes says damaged sd card. But it still works.

How old is the card?
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
The card is only a year old, only used it for 6 months, this is the second card to go bad in this phone, same brand and size card also
but i have 2 in my tf700 and they perform like a dream, and this is my 3rd xperia play, so not sure what the issue is, maybe i keep getting bad phones
Hope you dont mind my asking. But, Do you have a habit of unplugging the SD card from your computer without first stopping the usb function on the task/start bar?
i never unplugged the usb cable i would always disable usb mode on my phone, but the very few times i took the card out and put in in my sd card reader i never disabled it, then again, ive never disabled it on any usb device ive ever owned and ive never had a failure like this
Hey guys, I've been baffled by this all day, if you could help me, that'd be nice.
So, I updated to the latest nightly the other day for CM11, (20140120) and when it booted, I couldn't get the SD card to mount.
I've now tried various ROMs, stock, every CM for my phone available, and no matter what, the SD won't mount.
I've tested multiple SD cards, thinking it was just a dead SD, but to no avail. What is weird is that when I plug the SD in to my computer (Via a USB adapter, and an actual card adapter as well on a second try.) it shows up completely normally, with all the files on it and everything. Tried reformatting it in Windows, Linux, and Mac as well.
Do you guys think that my SD slot has just crapped out? Because I can't afford a new phone whatsoever, and I love my baby Hercules.
Any suggestions would be lovely, thanks for your time!

Well since you went back to Touchwiz, and you tried multiple SD cards, I'm going to guess the actual reader went bad. My recommendation would be to go to multiple repair centers and see what they all say. Don't just go to one because they might rip you off and the more opinions the better

Well, everybody says that nothing is wrong with my SD slot, and I've noticed that when I turn my phone's screen on, it tries to read my SD, and it mounts successfully. What's weird is that the second I unlock my phone, it unmounts and asks me to format my SD. I tried formatting it in my phone, and on the computer (Unix, Windows, Linux) as well again. So, I can't really figure out the issue. It isn't just limited to one android version, it's on all. And even on Touchwiz it unmounts when unlocked. I'm quite baffled. ._.
Sorry to necro my own thread, but I need this fixed. lol
corrupted files maybe? Maybe its a software issue. Try going back to stock and maybe try again
Actually, this will sound really stupid, but I was installing Koushik's airplaymirror.apk, and I was doing it through ADB. I used adb root, then adb remount, and before I used adb push, I noticed my SD card mounted right after that command. So yeah, simple solution, but I'm still not sure what the problem was?
