I was trying to take photo's with my desire, but I was recieving a message saying that the photo's couldn't be saved to the sd card. I was a bit puzzled as I knew I had more than 3gb of the card left. Anyway I decided to go into the storage settings of the phone and sure enough according to my phone the total space on the sd card was 0 and the available space was 0. and it also showed that the internal storage was 64.02 mb.
Anyway, I decided to take the battery out and remove the sd card, and then I reinstalled them. When my phone had restarted I checked the storage settings again and my phone is now showing that the sd card has a total of 3.69gb with 3.43gb available, and also, my internal storage is now showing that I have 78.44mb internal storage available.
Can someone shed some light on what may have happaned.?
This happens on Android sometimes. Just removing and reinserting the card will fix it 99% of the time.

If that's the case, then perhaps next time it happens you could try unmounting and mounting it (ie in software!). Would safe the hassle/risk of taking the phone apart each time.

Just out of curiosity, how to you mount the card after unmounting it? I looked everywhere but had to take the card out and insert it again....
I get something similar, but it's not free space related. Sometimes after unplugging my phone from my PC while being in Mass Storage mode, the card is mounted in read-only mode. It's an odd behaviour that only gets fixed if i replug it into my PC and remove it again.

Uh..yeah, just noticed there's no mount option. Odd, being a Linux device. You're going to have to unmount then reboot.
Perhaps this'll become possible when Android supports installing to SD card.
I've been experiencing the same thing this weekend, but I've not used my phone as a storage device, only battery charging. A reboot fixes the problem but not ideal! Is this a HTC phone issue or Google Android problem? It needs to be addressed!
I am also concerned about internal storage space as it seems to either decrease or increase for some reason. For example, yesterday I had 78mb free internal storage space, earlier on it had dropped to 67.04mb,, than an hour later it went down to 66.25mb I have since switched my phone off and on and now the internal storage is at 80.1mb. I am assuming that the internal storage issue is maybe to do with caches. Would this be correct.?

I don't know, but memory is supposed to be used. Android should be keeping stuff in memory so that it can be used quickly when needed rather than loaded/initialised from scratch each time. Depends on the OS really. I'd suggest not killing tasks and rebooting just to maintain a lot of free memory for the sake of it. If there's a problem then it needs to be fixed but I've not heard of anyone running out of memory and having trouble loading stuff after 24 hours after a reboot.

Same problem for me ... until I found the "SDMount widget". No need to reboot anymore.
Happened to me twice with my 32GB card, now don't take this the wrong way, but I'm glad to see others have experienced this with lower capacity cards!
Thanks for the headsup about the Mount widget, should be very handy.
sdmount ........ thank you for the heads up

I recently purchased a 32 gb SD CARD from play, but for some reason it is being funny. When i transfer some apps from phone to card other does but when i look into it on the file explorer its show only one folder LOST. Also it gives me card full status too but i haven't put anything big in it?

ive been having some problems with my note using memory cards properly as well. mainly with the camera app.
occasionally i would take 20 odd photos and film 30 minutes of HD footage, but the moment i tap to go on gallery, nothing has been added. when i go to check storage, no extra space has been used up. the only way i can get my device to save data again is to power it down, take out the battery, put the battery back in and power it up again. quite frustrating, but perhaps see if that fixes your problem?
Whats the speed of the card?
It is class 4

I keep seeing a message saying sd card was suddenly removed, and then it reactivates the SD card and everythings fine, and sooner or later, the cycle keeps repeating.
I saw this happening in the last week or so on my galaxy s3 i had before the note 2, so i know its not the phone and its the card.. but i was wondering what i could do to maybe fix this? I already tried formatting the sd card once, but im thinking maybe this card is permanetely damaged somehow?? Anything I can do to kinda get it to stop acting up or am i out of luck?
If you can backup the contents of your SD card to a PC, try this video...

This is apparently a recurring issue, it happens on my 64gb uhs1 card too, and its a genuine card. I still haven't been able to track down the cause of it, and it's fairly annoying. The card just locks up and ignores commands sent to it and the kernel times out on it and sees it as dead. No actual data loss or anything.
yeah.. i feel like everytime i turn the screen on i see 'preparing SD card'
im thinking it has an effect on battery too.
I'm having a problem with my ext sd card. It starts fine but after a while (usually a couple hours) it reads 0mb in storage setting. The only way to fix it (which doesn't work too well with poweramp) is unmount it and mount it again then it reads 59.67gb like it should or restart the phone. I remember having an sd card problem with my gs2 where it would randomly say the sd card has been removed but this is different. The problem came after almost a month of no problems using Dandroid 4.7 at&t with stock kernel. I love every feature about this rom (other than poor battery life, just disabled wifi location access to see if that helps) and the look of it and i don't want to reflash something else. Any suggestions?
I had similar issues with an sdcard I was using. I was able to determine the card was behaving erratically with the heat from the phone. It eventually got worse and I replaced the card with a different brand card and all is well.
Hi , wanted to bring up a problem Ive been experiencing with my LG G3 here on the forums.
I have completely stock LG G3 D852 on Kitkat 4.4.2. The problem is this: At random times I will wake my phone up to discover a notification that the SD card has been unmounted. Physically the SD Card is secure and has not been moved or shaken at all.
I will then attempt to go to 'settings' and mount the SD card. At this point the phone notifies that the SD card cannot be mounted or cannot be read.
I have found that by simply restarting the phone, the SD card goes right back to normal with all files fully readable as if nothing ever happened.
My closest understanding about what may be going on is that some apps are writing some sort of backup files to my sd card which are causing some sort of corruption (just a theory) the reason for this is that this phenomena seemed to occur more frequently after doing heavy editing on my desktop visualizer widget, but it may have been simply a coincidence.
The SD Card is a Kingston Ultimate 64GB (Class 10 UHS-I) microSDXC Card, Up to 90MB/s read, 45MB/s write (SDCA10/64GB) which was placed in the phone brand new about the same time the phone was also new and formatted immediately in the LG G3. It has been in use for a little less than three weeks.
My question is, has anyone else experienced anything similar? What are your experiences? Please share below. And has anyone stumbled upon any solutions?
