SO I am having a problem with every EVO rom I flash. Here is what is happening.
- I will open Astro or EStrongs and click on the SD Card where I have my APP Apks stored and click on the folder and it will just close the program. So then I will reboot and try to install them again and it will install maybe 3 apps before it starts saying "App not Installed".
- I am also having the "File Permissions" problem on OMJ latest EVO Rom when I try and use the Camera.
I have the latest Sprint Software installed and everything else. Can anyone help me out and tell me whatr the problem can be? I thought this problem was fixed?
It might be a bad sd card
I had similar issues with the sd card that came with my phone. It would work for a little while and then all of a sudden I would get file permission errors. Sometimes it would even come up saying the data was corrupt and needed to be formatted. I tried formatting several times both in the phone and in the computer.
Nothing seemed to help the issue. I then went to the store and purchased a new 16GB SD card and have not had a problem since. On another note, I have since left the 8gb card in my computer and have not had any problems with it there.
Yeah, It was working working fine the all of a sudden it started having issues.
I tried researching this but wasn't successful finding same exact problem or solution. I'm on 4.4.2 Baseband N900TUVUCNB4 rooted with stock rom and ext sd fix. Everything was working fine until recently. My external SD card has inexplicably become read-only, both on the phone and on my desktop. I first noticed this last week when the phone camera began having problems writing to external SD card, and now I can't sync music to card. I've tried formatting on the phone and desktop, both quick and full but no dice. On the phone, I am able to delete individual files or folders but they reappear. On the PC, I can view but get write protect message when trying to format. Anyone else come across this or have suggestions?

Happened with me once with a different phone/OS. Weird thing is that it was only for a particular SD card. I put a different card and it worked.
It turned out to be a problem with the card (dunno how thats possible though).
What's the brand of your SD card?
I have the exact same problem with my SGNote 2 and SanDisk 64gb micro SD card. First I lost some pics I have taken that day. I searched through with a file rescue tool but they were nowhere to be found. Deleted files reappear, and the ones I copied from internal SD dissappear.

I had same problem. But I fixed this problem by formatting my SD card via PC. It is very bad to me Because I lost my some valuable Docs:crying:
Try file recovery softwares, you might recover it.

Thanks. I tried formatting through PC using windows and also tried using SDFormatter v4.0 but get write protect error. Thanks for the suggestions

It's a SanDisk 64gb class 10.
Glad to hear I'm not the only one. Maybe we can share the solution when we find one. I'm using internal memory in the meantime for new media files, but frustrated that I am not able to use the rest of the memory available on my card.
SanDisk works fine for me, maybe your sd card is a faulty one, let's wait for a while here and maybe someone could answer your question and hopefully solve your problem

Thanks, Lorettaa. It seems like that's the only option right now, since I can't find any other info about it on XDA. I know Kit Kat has that design "flaw" where apps can't write to an SD card, but I can't even write to it, modify it or reformat it on a PC. I have full read access to every file, just can't do anything else

I have the exact same problem, i tried many options , used some softwares in windows to format , wipe, fix, modify. nothing works.
One possible reason for this problem is file system errors , which can be rectified using the 'error checking' option in windows and 'fixing the file system errors'
But that doesnt solve my problem, even after formatting using advanced softwares, the sd card is the same - no files deleted, no files added...
The fat as well as ext4 parition is not formattable now in anyway.so the possible conclusion is 'sd card is going to fail'.. Take a backup before you loose the read capability.
Recuva is a good, free tool (from the people that make CCleaner) to deleted recover photos.

And one possible reason for a false error condition is a corrupt system. This is normally an unlikely possibility but it is very likely on devices that have had partition images written to (i.e. a flashed ROM). If you have done all you can to the SD card and if the errors are not only on one SD card then wipe everything and load a backup. If you still get errors then wipe everything and revert to stock to see if they still occur.

So I have a 64gb memory card but I noticed that it's not recognised by all apps. However I can navigate to it manually. I tried to put a 2gb memory card in earlier and it seems to work as expected. Have anyone else noticed anything quirky like that? Does anyone know of a fix or method to trouble shoot the issue?

Maybe formatting your card will solve the problem
External SD Card Fix
If you want to be able to have apps write to your external SD card you need to make some changes to the PLATFORM.XML file. I had to do this to get Titanium Backup to be able to write to the external card instead of the internal memory. See link. I have root and am guessing you need root for this. There may be some apps out there that will also help you out.

That seems to have fixed the issue, thanks.
Hi, I updated my Canvas A1 to Marshmallow and using SD card as Internal memory. I noticed something, after some time the device cant write or modify anything on the SD card. Then some apps on the SD card crashes (some says not enough storage) and when i try to move app to the SD card it says not enough storage (I have around 11GB free). It gets fixed after a restart and again happens after sometime. Need HELP
For those having Battery drain issue just restart and clean the cache on SD card. Worked for me. I think thus bug is related to battery drain issue.
Facing exactly the same...
Me too facing the same issues
Hey guys today I got update on Android 6.0.1, and I think our issue is fixed. After updating I didn't face it till now.
So please update if you have not....

Is battery drain issue still there?
Hi there,
I'm having issues with continues in expicted removing SD notification. Is this a hardware failure?
Haven't dropped my phone and this msg started showing after the new update 1.95.401.4
Copy all the data to your PC, format the card in the phone, copy your data back. This is a very common issue and we'll documented here. The issue should go away until you flash another ROM or major update.

Have been battling with this for a long time..
Things I've done.
Completely updated firmware.
Removed encryption.
Changed roms.
For me I don't get this issue on venom, not sure why but it's possible that it's simply luck and just kernel related.
Only happened for me on Leedroids rom which is a shame as it's a superb rom.
The probability is its either your card (most likely) or the combination of rom and kernel.
I'd advise you to do what you can before you rma your card.
Connect your card directly into a computer.
Format the card using a utility called SD formatter, use the long method, more thorough..
Flash a rom which has a stock kernel and see how you go..
Beyond that you could remove encryption and or try different kernels, some have the issue more than others.
Good luck.
Continue to get this myself. Try a smaller SD.

Thanks for answering me.. I fixed it by formatting the SD and merged the internal with external memory. I'm having no issues right now.

I would do that but what happens between rom flashes?? Does the bind of internal get lost? Have you switched Rom's?
