no one knows ????
you're going to have to be a little more specific..........how do you mean disappear? and when does it happen? any other side affects (have to reboot to "make it reappear") ?

I mean sometimes I can change wallpapers through gallery and i see my stuff... then like an hour or two later there's nothing there -- it doesn't detect my SD card hence it "disappears"
I have to reboot about 5 times a day to get it back
what does it say when you open up gallery? when i had an issue with mine, it would say "no sd card" or something to that affect.
or does yours just not show any pictures?
edit: is this your external sdcard or your internal one?

Internal SD
It says "no items" when I open up gallery
have you tried flashing a new rom? or possibly do you have a app killer that might be killing some services?

next time you get the error
run that app
if that still doesn't help
make sure you have no file called .nomedia in the gallery folder or the root of your internal SD

just find your invoice, take it back to the store, and have them replace the phone, that phone obviously have a defective internal SD

So using a different phone the SDcard works? It maybe that the SDcard reader on the G1 is failing. I would try to use Paragon Partition Manager and see if that helps.

Nope, it'll only fix the SDcard. The SDcard reader on your G1 won't be affected. If it's broke, it's broke.

Anybody know how to do this? I found a solution for other devices, but not Droid 3. I need this pretty bad because my internal memory is getting full (11gb) and it doesn't save anything but media crap on external sd card (32gb) I need to save apps in ext card too..
Anybody interested?

Connect the device to the computer, transfer files to the external SD card (leave the folders alone). Done.
Or you can use Root Explorer and transfer the files...

Thanks for the reply, but I thibk you misunderstood me.
What I meant was that I would like to switch my External SD Card to Internal.
Since the phone saves everything (like apps) in the internal memory (except media files)
I want to use my full 32 gb sd card as internal mem instead.
I hope I explained clearer this time
You have to edit the mounting points in /system/etc/vold.fstab
I've done this on previous devices, but haven't done it on my D3, so I don't know if it will break anything, so do a nandroid before changing anything.
Do you happen to know how? Thanks.
Sorry. I want to keep this alive.
Check out this post from the CM9 thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21032236 . I am not sure if it can be used exactly as is for a Gingerbread setup, but it should at least give you a good starting point for what you need to edit in order to make it work for you. I know this was already mentioned, but MAKE SURE you have a nandroid backup and to be really safe make sure your phone is charged more than 50% in case you wind up having to do an SBF. If you were not aware, you can't program this phone when the battery is below 50% and it won't charge unless it can boot, so you can see the problem you will encounter if you brick your phone with a low battery.

He is trying to permanently swap the internal and external SD cards so that his 32Gb external is used as the primary storage and to accomplish this he will have to edit a few files in system. The link I provided earlier should get him the info he needs to do this.

The thanks is very appreciated, it sounds like you got it figured out, that's what I was really looking for.
I started this thread in the "General discussion" section about this but I'm starting to think my problem might be more SGS specific.
My problem is that my phones USB connection stopped working then I foolishly reformatted my system partition with out having another ROM with which to replace it. I still have "ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.3" installed but am unable to find a way to install another ROM. Most people seem to say flashing from an external SD card is trivial with CWM but I can't work out how to do it. Does anyone know a way to flash a ROM from the external SD card with CWM v2.5.1.3 on an SGS, or any other way I could get an image back on my phone that doesn't require a working USB connection?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Go into update from zip as usual then scroll down to external sd... if that's not working go into advanced and check if external sd is mounted

Yeah, I think that might be the case. There is an option to "mount /sd-ext" but I don't think that actually mounts the external SD card. I think it has something to do with an "extended" or "extra" partition. In any event, when I select the option I get this error:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
(File exists)
Error mounting SDEXT:!
Also, I can't see an "external sd" option under "update from zip". Under "install zip from scdard" there is an option to "choose zip from sdcard" but this doesn't seem to access the external card.
Any idea how I might be able to update to a later version of CWM?

Well, here it is: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Samsung-...Parts_Tools&hash=item2571b036fe#ht_1558wt_952
Just have to work out how to do it now.
I had the phone in pieces the other night trying to clean the port and that socket seem pretty firmly attached. Have to see if I can turn up any instructions. There are lots of sights saying they'll do it for you but haven't been able to find any instructions on how to do it myself yet.
I just bought a used Dell Streak 7 off of eBay and I'm about to return it. But before I do, I wanted to see if anyone could help me with a problem.
EVERY TIME I reboot the tablet, it resets itself. Brings up the Android screen where I have to press on the Android then continue to setup the tablet which is very annoying. Can anyone help?
The tablet is on 2.2. T-Mobile version with the slot for SIM card and WiFi.

I downloaded the updates from the first post on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431797.
One at a time I transferred them onto the root of my SD card and changed the names to "Update.pkg", also tried "update.pkg". Then I entered recovery holding volume up and the power button. Used volume down to scroll to the option to update from SD card. Pressed power to run the update, it ran for about 30 seconds to a minute but then would come up with a FOTA name mismatch error and reboot.
I tried downloading updates from another website but I can't remember where it was exactly.
EDIT: I just tried all the PKG files at http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Dell_Streak_7#Official. Almost all of them come up with a FOTA name mismatch, even the US 4G one. The only one that doesn't come up with that error is version 336. But that one comes up with another error, "Install modem error. System will upgrade again."

Yes. It is the only temporary solution to temporary fix it. The problem will re-appear when phone restart. Need to re-apply the method again.
Try resetting your phone. That may resolve the issue.
After updating the Android Version via update it's generally a good idea to reset.
