Guest .:stn:. Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 I had such scrambled filenames several times while useing last ROM this mix of open and O2 I guess it was XXIL1_REV07 with CSC_B7610NBWIL2.. this wasn't clean ROM release that's why I get back to XXIK6 and everythings fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest santoo Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 can anyone confirm that problem is *not* due to defective storage cards? I've had this problem twice but only with a (new) 16gb card - once in the b7610 (stock wm 6.1 rom) and once while using it via cardreader in a pc(!) I've never had this problem with my older (&smaller) cards, so I think it might be related to bad quality of some (new? large? cheap? ebay? :-)) cards... PS: soft reset didn't help; using cardreader to view card in pc didn't help. so at least in my case, I think it was actual damage to the filesystem/TOC of the card - probably some read/write operation got interrupted which corrupted the card...

Guest santoo Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 maybe you toggled on card crypting on the device? nope, not a matter of encryption. fully functioning card went unreadable/garbled folder structure from one sec to the next - both during use in phone, as well as during use on pc (that's why I suspect it's a problem of the *card*, not our phones :-)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest passion_streak Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 (edited) may be its a card problem ... but y r most of the users using b7610 are facing such problems ?? any answer or u think sandisk (in my case ) is making faulty memory cards ....

Guest Night234 Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 I also have a 16gb SanDisk and i also had this Problem. I encountered it when i moved a lot of big files, some movies and series, to the card. After i was done i checked the card and everything was still normal. A couple of hours later i picked up the phone, went into the File-Explorer -> My device -> Memory Card and almost every folder was cryptic and empty. Strangly not every folder changed. The "Programs" Folder was still intact. I deinstalled everything i had installed to the card and then wiped it. I am really hoping this doesen't happen again because i don't want to be using the internal memory to save photos just because I am afraid I might lose them if I save them to the SD-Card. Quick question to everyone who had/has this problem: When you are done using active sync or copying files to the phone, do you simply unplug or do you use the "disconnect safely"-method in the Windows-Tray.

Guest santoo Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 I also have a 16gb SanDisk and i also had this Problem. seems like it might be counterfeit sandisk cards from ebay. (e.g.: http://communities.sandisk.com/sandisk/boa...thread.id=1639) sellers are from china, cards are of lower capacity than stated (e.g. 960mb vs 16gb) and go corrupt as soon as this threshold is reached; (can't test this myself, sent my card back couple of weeks ago, still waiting to hear from seller) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner (MVP) Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 There are quite a few fake Sandisk cards around so best to buy from a reliable source, saying that though even they can unknowingly bulk buy dodgy cards. Most corruption happens when the power is inturrupted while writing to the card, I presume you are not letting the phone's battery get too low? if you do to save power the phone will disable the card. Wether this may cause the problem is another matter though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest passion_streak Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 yes Santoo Bro .. its a sandisk class 2 memory card ....... hey i didnt got it from ebay & stuff.. its 100% original .. coz i have a bill.if this ever happened again .. i m going to replace the card :D ... but i still doubt that the card is faulty .

I contact with official sandisk,catch photos and shows the receipt to them,they are accept to replace a new one to me. after I received the new TF card,test on my B7610,the same problem(lost files and have some strange name files with large size.) still happend. I think this maybe cause of the compatibility between TF card and B7610. anyway,hope some guys could fine a way to solve this problem.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sera Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 I also had this one, totally freaked me out but after nothing else helped, I took it out, put it back in again and it worked. really strange stuff but has never happened again since then.

[...] after I received the new TF card,test on my B7610,the same problem(lost files and have some strange name files with large size.) still happend. wait - are you saying, that you had your (maybe genuine, maybe counterfeit) card replaced by sandisk themselves, received a card that's definitely genuine - and still have the problem with this new card? if so... well, &%!$ :-(( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mementomori Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 i have this problem twice now. First some folders disappeared, i checked the card on my computer but couldnt find anything. since last week the storage card dissapeared entirely. last night i checked it on the computer. it did show my folders, so i start copying for a back up. i noticed there was a problem with one of my cabsfiles (copying didnt work). i deleted it and now i can see the card again on my phone...its strange.. dont see any logic dont know if you can use anything of this but good luck!

Guest firefighterguy Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 (edited) Hello all. I have had the same prob on my SCH-i920. I have had my 8GB storage card since i had the XV6800, XV6900, and the SCH-i910. And I got my storage card from Verizon. So I know my SD card is good. I started having the same issues after I upgraded to my Omnia II. I talked to a Verizon person at the store in person, and they suggested I talk to a tech and see if there is a patch. Once I talk to one, I will report back whether or not there is one. And if so I will attempt to post that theoretical patch here. I have never had this issue until my Omnia II. And this prob is completely unacceptable. Aso, off subject, anyone know where I could find out how to get my hands on a 6.5.3 upgrade? Or what thread I could find it? Thank you in advance.

Guest passion_streak Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 so i guess there is no real solution to this problem ?? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firefighterguy Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 (edited) I guess not. I called Vrizon today. My appologies for taking so long to post back. When you work 24 hour shifts, you get a little tired. But at anyrate, the Verizon Tech wasnt aware of "any such problems" and "that type f problm has not been addrssed to us." So unless Samsung can own up to it and at least try to offer SOME help, I guess we are back to sqare one with a f#?@ed up storage card. I'm sorry I couldnt come up with a miracle cure here. I've been tring to get to the bottom of this myself. Edited February 25, 2010 by firefighterguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asbud Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 (edited) does anybody with other brand microSD besides sandisk have the same problem as we did? or its just sandisk? Edited February 25, 2010 by asbud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
