So I have to reboot my Galaxy S about 10-20 times a day -- every day -- because it disappears all the time. I have an external card in there too - but that too goes missing.
Anyone know how to fix this ?
no one knows why this happens ?
no one has EVER had their SD card disappear randomly and have to reboot ?
I don't buy that.
Apparently the 51 viewers as of this post haven't had this problem.
I certainly haven't.
Maybe someone that has, will show up.
It's just super annoying

Might help to know what firmware and apps you are running.
maybe you need to format the card inside the phone using the built in format app. Maybe you have a fake card. Maybe you have bad phone, in that case get it looked at
happened to me for a few days too.
Went uninstalling everything (tried a bunch of podcast/rss readers trying to find something that could handle passworded podcast feeds) as well as the games I was trying out and a few apps.
Hasn't happened since so one of them had to be the culprit.
- Completely vanilla sgs-i9000m from Bell, just unlocked. Not even rooted.
I got my Galaxy tab yesterday and, incidentally, I'm TOTALLY loving it!!!! Anyway, I rooted it (using z4root) so that I could use Titanium backup and regularly backup my apps/data.
I didn't try recording video before I rooted, so I don't know if rooting has caused the problem, but it's been suggested that it may have done.
Basically, when I start to record video I get about 5 seconds and the app force closes. I don't have any problem taking pictures - just video.
Has anyone come across this issue or know of anything that may explain or (preferably) help solve it??
It's not the end of the world if I can never use it to record video, but I'd like to be able to if possible.
Thanks guys.
Edit: Problem solved! See this post for the answer

Hi, firstly congrats on your new Galaxy Tab, welcome here
I have never faced these problems on a stock unrooted ROM (which i am on) and have never rooted my TAB before. Perhaps try flashing a different ROM and see how it goes. Or since your TAB is fairly new and has few customizations you may want to try a master clear?
Cheers
Thanks for the congrats. It's a BEAST and I love it
I did do a hard reset, but I was dubious as to whether or not it had actually done a hard reset as it seemed to retain some of my settings. It didn't solve my problem, either way.
I don't want to go down the custom ROM route for now as I'm happy with the stock ROM (after replacing the launcher with Launcher Pro).
I know it's a clutch at straws, but I'm hoping that someone knows of a fix for this problem. If someone can tell me how to do a 100% factory reset then I'd happily give it a go, but the method I used was not successful (power off and then hold volume up and power on - follow the menu to factory reset).
Hi, do you (try to) record to your GT SSD or to SD card?
I had the same problem first due to a very bad class 2 microSD card.
Video recording crashing, but only after 2 to 5 seconds recording.
Formating it didn't fix the problem, replacing it did. Maybe a hint.
Also try to switch to standard quality, no audio settings.
And try another free video capture app.

yeh it's awesome!
I think you could refer to the user manual it nay teach you how to hard reset? i don't know how to do that either :S
Or like the above member stated,the memory card may be an issue... what memory card are you on? i'm on the default Samsung 16GB (Class 6)? card - no issues here.

Full Reset :
*2767*3855# - from the dialer
no issue here = micro sd 16GB cass 2
try to use OneClickRoot - for MAC or SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse for Windows next time ! works for me better!
Thanks for the comments and suggestions guys, and thanks for the alternative method of factory resetting, ovigt71.
Unfortunately, I was still rooted after doing that. Seems strange that the rooting is persisting after a factory reset, but that's what's happening!
Anyway, unless someone comes up with a brainwave I'm just gonna live with the fact that I can't record video. It's not a major biggie as I have a HD2 which has a better camera anyway, so I'll always use that. I just like everything to work the way it should.

...hm...most probably you got a wrong version of Z4 root....but, in my personal opinion, better reflash with PIT file the firmware (if you like using the stock, then you root with SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse and everything should go back to normal. or better you follow the guide and install Overcome, which is already prerooted! hope it help!

Nah, I'm gonna stick with the stock ROM for now. It's only a few days old so I'm not interested in flashing anything to it. And I got z4root off here ages ago. It's sitting on Dropbox with a bunch of other apk files that I use on new devices (I was changing ROMs on my HD2 at an alarming rate at one point!)
Thanks for the help.

mate, if i were you, you might as well get the problem sorted now, before it's too late. You may aswell try unrooting it if you can, test if the video works. if it doesn't take it back to your retailer, tell them your problem, and the may replace your TAB with a new one. You may aswell get it done early rather than waiting a while and they won't do anything for you ad suspect it was self invoked. I personally do not face any problems but as i say i have a unrooted tab + stock 16gb sd card and it works fine.
good luck, hope u get it sorted.

[email protected] is correct! as long as you have the Tab under warranty you should try to make it work.....until is not yo late!
Yeah, that's good advice, and probably what I'd say to someone in my position. I'll get in touch with Orange and take it from there.
Cheers guys.
Problem solved!!!
There was nothing wrong. Rooting hadn't caused the problem, and there's nothing wrong with the tab (thankfully). I'd set the lcd density to 180 because I like to have lots of small icons, rather than just a few big ones. As soon as I restored my backup of build.prop I could record video.
Seems the cam app doesn't like different lcd density settings.
I can live with that - at least it's not the tab.
Edit: In case anyone finds this and wonders, I just set the lcd density to 200 and video recording still works. Things aren't that much bigger than at 180, so I can live with that.
Edit: It works at 190. I've not tried the other 9 values between 180 and 190 though. 190 looks great

thanks for pointing out the settings glad you got your 'problem' foxed, now you can enjoy the full power of the Galaxy TAB !!
P.S - were your video settings set to saving to the SD cad or internal memory?
At least one person has reported that the camera works at 182 and above, so that might be the number to shoot for if you want to continue.
@johncmolyneux
thanks for the tip! I'm using density at 200....I wasn't think about that! LOL good to know!

I've tried both, and it makes no difference. This was definitely down to the LCD density setting.

Thanks for that. I've got used to it at 190 now, but good to know I can go lower if I fancy it.

I have just newly bought this Huawei P9 with 64gb int mem and 4gb ram. I really am fond of taking pictures. It was not just 5 days ago and early this morning it kept prompting that internal memory is FULL.
I thought it was just an error and restarted the phone. After restart, I checked my gallery and found that ALL my photos are gone.
I have tried almost all the apps I could find in playstore or on the net. I am no expert on this. Maybe someone has a solution to this? I would very much love to recover my photos.
Same here...

I encountered the same issue with my EVA-L19 and it deleted all my media from my Internal Storage, sometimes even resetting my Developer Options and other stuff. Its been happening for a while now and I can't seem to find a fix...
Hello guys
I have a strange problem but first this is what i have.
sony xz1 compact stock firmware android 9 latest security update of september (fu sony)
Yesterday i wanted to play some music when suddenlly i got this message that said i can not play it or something like that and then tried dozen of other songs and nothing worked they all gave the same message except for a stock song that came with the phone that did work.
I restarted the phone but that didnt help then i thought ill look once i get home...
So i get home and look into it and suddenlly i notice they are all gone? except for the stock song that comes with the phone ?
All my songs gone in thin air how is this possible ??
I havent downloaded an app recentlly nor done anything to it my phone so what gives is this even possible do i have a virus? am i hacked? software corrupted somehow?
Afterwords i notice phone acts strange sometimes going into settings and go to storage makes my phone slow or crashes trying to look for my music but nothing there either.
I am super pissed because i was gonna put a custom mod on my phone anyway i was just trying to get some experience with root on an old phone first and then this happens ...
anyone happen to have heard of anything like this happening to someone before?
I made this thread cause i dont have a back-up of my phone more importantlly of my music so in the offchance there is away to find out what happend .....
I assume the music was on internal storage? Because if you had it on an SD card, there would still be ways to recover it. Otherwise, the chances are rather slim. You would have to get the internal storage out of the phone somehow and then scan it on the PC. But since the internal storage cards are usually firmly soldered, that would be very work intensive.
Yes it was on the internal storage.
But it is so weird man like how can this happen out of the blue ?

There's only two kinds of PC users; the ones who have lost data and those that will.
As NeoSeven pointed out store your data base on the SD card. Then back it up at least twice on electronically isolated hdds.
Not much help now but it will prevent future loses.
I avoid firmware updates if the device is running stable and does what I need.
Anything can happen.
After a major firmware update a factory reset is best. At least clear the system cache.
allright clear thanks guys
Few days ago I was browsing my phone, suddenly got a black screen. From then my phone frequently lag over and over. Volume Keys respond few seconds after clicking, phone doesn't ring (Totally Mute), can't hear while calling, they cant hear my voice too, and ****"System UI isn't responding" Close the app or wait*** model pops up again and again.
After watching some videos from Youtube - Did reset, Factory reset, Clear Cached System UI and what not. Got updated to Android 9 by a Local Mobile Repairing shop. Still same problem.
My phone was brought by my elder brother from Bahrain. And I live in Bangladesh. Today went to Samsung Official Customer Care. Explained Everything and they said, they cant do anything about this as the phone was brought from a foreign country. Now I really I Don't know what to do with this phone. Can somebody help me? whats the solution of this....???
Remove the SIM and micro SD card memory and check the phone's behavior.
