so last night all of a sudden my ext sd card became unusable. Wasnt doing anything unusual, just put a new playlist on it....I removed it, inserted it, shut down, wiped caches, factory wiped, put in a different one (which phone read fine), then all of sudden it just started to work. Flashed to my backed up ROM and everything is fine...so this morning I get a MMS from a friend and there is a little button that says download. Never seen this before, but everytime i press is changes to downloading, then fails .So back to wiping, re installing gapps,used tweakker app,etc. All settings are fine. Cannot download MMS!!!?? I installed Go SMS and it works fine! no issues... so whats the problem?
Possibly not connected to the sd card in anyway but maybe?
arghhhh, so dumb!

in manage applications all apps are stuck at "computing" and will of stop. It used to be fixed by restoring my phone to an earlier date but now it just doesn't work.
Apps2sd, disk usage, and unmounting the SD card do not work. Force closing.
In the market I cannot install or uninstall apps.
And when I restart ill lose access to the apps on my SD card. But I can access all info using a task manager or taking the card out and accessing it from my pc.
Is my internal memory failing?
I don't know what else to do Ive tried so much.
Restore backup factory reset SD card format etc.
Froyo 2.2 stock rooted.
Any ideas?,I'm desperate.
Thank you.
Wipe completely and try a different ROM like CM6. If you're still getting the same problem, then it's a hardware issue and you're hosed. Run the RUU at that point, and take it in to get a replacement, and hope for the best.
How long do you give it? If you have a lot of apps, it might just take a lot longer than your are expecting, since it has to load the data for everything. I'd recommend just giving it a little more time (unless you already do). Before Froyo, even with just a handful of apps it seriously took around 3 minutes to load that kind of information.
I've given it up to 45 minutes at times, several times after a recovery it would all fully finish computing, then after i install an app or something to that effect it seems it 'breaks' again.
I tried other ROMs and after the first few apps i begin to reinstall it does it again. So i took a break, recovered it and went to bed. This morning it seems to be doing fine and now i'm reading there were market issues with other people last night, could this be connected? Is the market that integrated into the phone that it could cause issues like this?
i'm emailing HTC for some advice because i can't find a specific google/android technical support email address about the issue.
ii'm in the same boat.all my apps are stuck on computing. i cant even unistall, or move apps. the only positive is that i can still run all my apps. but i cant install anything new as it stays stuck on installing and never installs the app. this seems like a problem with froyo.
Mine does this ever since I installed modInstallLocation, and moved a ton of stuff over to the SD card. If I ever have to reboot for some reason, or if I have to use the phone as a USB device, most of the time the apps never recover. Sometimes (rarely) a reboot fixes it, but most of the time I have to pull the battery, pull the card, reboot several times before it will finally get all my apps back. It seems completely random. I can't uninstall or install anything either until everything is back to normal. It happened again last night, and I still haven't gotten it to recover. I let the thing "compute" all night (7 hours) with no luck.
btw, this is my second sd card, so I don't think its bad.
UPDATE: I got them all back! I wiped the Dalvik cache from within Clockwork Mod, and about 4-5 minutes after I rebooted, there they were!!!
I have a brand new issue that, for the first time, I haven't been able to resolve from existing posts on the forum.
When Cyanogen nightly build 92 first came out I loaded it on my phone and everything had been working flawless. Yesterday I swapped my SD card for a another one, something I do with regularity and have never had trouble. Afterward, the phone wouldn't boot.(black screen) I swapped back and still nothing. I removed the SD card entirely and installed another SIM from my G1. Although, it would not boot into the phone I was finally able to boot into CW, so I reset all caches, reformatted boot, system and data. Reinstalled build 92. About halfway through the reinstall the phone suddenly rebooted. I started over again, wiping cache, reformatting and reinstalling to build 92. (I double checked md5sum just in case the file was corrupt) This time it installed perfectly and I was able to reboot the phone back to what appeared to be normal.
Now everything appears to work fine except for one very serious flaw. I can no longer connect to an APN. I can search networks and see them but when I select one it says cannot register on network. If I connect to WiFi the "WiFi calling feature works fine and all seems normal. I did a little research and was told to check my IMEI. Sure enough it is 111111111111111 which is obviously invalid. I have no idea if the Invalid IMEI is a symptom of another problem or the cause.
Just for grins, I borrowed a friends AT&T Sim to see what would happen.( I recently updated to the gfree .05 for full unlock) There was no difference except of course, AT&T doesn't support T-mobile's WiFi Calling.
So here is where I stand so far:
Original SIM is fried so have a new one
Invalid IMEI but I have my original logged
WiFi Calling allows me to operate the phone normally but I can't go anywhere this way.
I have all of my CW backups and have tried them to no avail.
The swap of my SD Card is normal for me. When I travel I use an encrypted card for all of my data. (A slightly paranoid industry, {Corporate Intelligence} but hey, I get to use calling encryption)
I never store apps on my SD card and always select Internal as my installation location, not that it should cause a problem anyway.
I have been actively using and updating my phones since Jesus Freke started on 1.5 on the G1, so I am not afraid to get creative.
Any suggestion or direction at this point would be greatly appreciated.
Phone has been working flawlessly the past couple days after I got my media messages working
Today I dragged some music onto my phone (not the SD card) and all my downloaded apps dissappeard. what the f??
Where did they go and WHY did they go? Really annoyed right now
Running the kingdom rewind rom btw
1) Try removing the songs you transfered. You might have it in a directory that they're not suppose to be in and it's messing up the apps.
2) Longshot, but maybe you deleted some app data by accident while transferring?
There's probably something else that you don't know about that is causing this, honestly I'm not sure but just suggesting the above.
already deleted the songs. all my apps were gone before i did this.
one thing i thought of just now. I did use the "low storage" app that came with rewind and didnt try any of my apps after that. moved em all to sd card and cleared cache. i think thats what did it

Try a complete reboot and see if they're there. I hit this occasionally when I connect my Incredible to the PC. When I disconnect, suddenly a handful of apps are gone. Fast reboot doesn't restore them, but complete power off and restart, or full reboot does.

Hi guys writing on this forum is now my last resort in the hopes may be someone has an idea what the hell is actually going on, my desire hd has been causing problems where when i update any of my apps they get stuck on installing, then i try to wipe the market data and cache but the whole system gets stuck on computing so i cant do anything, when i reboot the phone, the apps go away, all the sd apps dont appear, and the system still says computing for all the apps.....ive tried everything, i noticed when all this was going the android secure folder had some.-2 extensions although they werent duplicates so i moved all apps to internal storage, deleted the android secure folder and moved them all back, so they all had -1 extensions, phone worked fine for about 2 months until yesterday, was updating an app on 3g and it got stuck in the installing phase, computing came back, rebooted phone, no help, shutdown phone and back on again and all the apps were then read, took time to clear the mqrket data and cache, went to root explorer since i had stored it on phone storage, went to mnt, .asec and all the apps had the -1 extension, so now i dont know what to do....
Its a nightmare, cant update and everytime the apps do come back after repeated switching on and off of the phone, everytime i try to update an app it gets stuck on installing and computing comes back.....its wierd cuz ive changed the sd card, moved all apps from phone atorage to sd but the problems still there....right now i cant asses the sd apps, ill try rebooting and see of they come back again....ive backed manually all the android secure folder apps on my computer, ive noticed something wierd, when i move batch of 10 apps from computer to phone they are read fine and come up on the phone, i keep doing this in steps, manually mounting and then unmounting the sd card till all my apps qre transfered to the android secure folder and all are read just fine by the phone, but as soon as i do a reboot they all dissapear again, ive also noticed that when apps are working perfect they are located in the mnt, .asec directory when i view em theough root explorer, but when i the apps are not being read like right now they are located in the mnt, staging, .asec directory
Im sorry guys for the lengthy explanation but wanted to give as much information as possible, i guess what im saying is when i do manage to get my sd apps working by repeated rebooting of phone, everytime i try to update an app it gets stuck on installing and computing comes back so the whole process of reboot starts all over again, as that is the only way i can get the sd apps back....
Any help would be appreciated, thanks for the patience in reading all this, oh when the phone did work fine during the last 2 months, the only way i kept it going was because everytime i updated an app the ext-2 appeared on it, so i had to move it to phone and then back to sd card, i dont know if the -2 ext appearing is normal everytime u update an app but since i had exams going on i had to keep the phone working so i never took a chance of updating an app that was already on the -2 ext, but now i guess none of the apps are and the problems back for some reason...
Please ask questiona if this is gettin a whole lot confusing for some
any ideas
Guessing no one knows what i might be talking about then, any ideas would be helpful guys...

OK the -2 just means there was already an app there when it updated. If you uninstall the app and reinstall it then it will be a -1 app again. From your first post it looks like you have alot of apps on your SD card? What calss is your SD card? Have you tried starting from scratch and reunstalling the apps from the market one by one to see it one app is causing the issue? From the statement about computing I would try a greasy start all together. Full wipe and reinstall the rom. Then your apps one by one. Will it be long? Yeah but its then only way to slim it down and find the issue.
thanks
Thabks zelendel, that really helped, strange that its happening, only some of the apps are giving e this problem, i just unistalled all the -2 and have reinstalled them, ill keep u updated if the problem goes away, im sure its cuz of the -2 s the app stalls and multiple reboots are needed to get them working again...whereas factory reset goes, oh boy thats gona be a long one, lets see how this one goes, ill keep u updated, and thanks again for all the help...
Flashed mySENSEv RC2.0 and going to keep it, as i finally decided the most suitable ROM for me to use. Anyway, I have a weird problem, after flashing, i had a little icon in bar which said "Phone storage is empty or unsupported files" and I was confused with this. I clicked it, and phone asked me to agree to empty PHONE storage. What happened? My SD Card got formatted... I am 100% sure it said do I want to empty phone storage. Anyway, i had most of my pictures and music on my another SD Card. I decided to download kernel and ROM again and now wiped the phone, flashed the ROM and finally got rid of that icon, as i thought maybe it was corrupted or something. Now when I got almost all my data from another sd card to this again, I have a new problem. My phone keeps saying on the music app "No music was found" and Gallery app "No pictures found". When I was on stock, when this happened I emptied media storage cache. Did it now too, rebooted and still this happens. Tried it few times. I am helpless, I can't understand what is wrong now. All was working fine before, even with this ROM before now! (I have been jumping through ROM's and this is the best ROM for me)
Edit: Oh great.. Found the reason.. Phone had emptied my Pictures, Music and Movies folder and I need to copy all the stuff there again. Hope it works now.
