Was there a stealth update?

[Werd]

All the mp3s on my phone that I listen to everyday are now telling me "This audio device does not support these music types" or something to that effect, and now is flushing all my mp3s off the play list?!?

This is what I require to keep my sanity at work! HELP!

and now.....my SD card is EMPTY! WTH is going on!?!?

power your phone off, take your battery and your card out. leave your battery out for at least 30s and put it back in. power your phone back on without the sd card and wait for it to boot (it will try to mount the sd card, wait until that process finishes). turn your phone back off and take the battery out again, put the sd card back in and put the battery in after 30s. power back on and report your findings.

also, take your sd card out and put it in a reader (if you have one) to see if files are really vanishing.

there will never be a stealth update (they don't exist) and files wouldn't magically vanish from your card.

you either have a bad card, a loose card, or an app that is causing the problem.

I haven't had a single problem thus far, and all the directorys on the card are gone, minus the folders its creating as I open the gallery looking for photos and videos I created.

I'll cry if my flash card just got nuked

do you have a card reader that you can attach it to a PC to read?

Not at work, I have a mini adapter at home floating around i'm sure

No problems at all here. My MP3s work just fine. Try the steps 640k laid out and see if it helps.

Hmmm.. after turning it off with no SD card in, it powered back up on its own after I told it to power down. More like it cycled / rebooted than shutting down.

This is just strange

is it plugged in? you can't power off the phone if it's plugged in.

are you sure you didn't mount your SD card and that's why everything is gone?

[Werd]

It was plugged in charging, but I never told it to mount. Lets just pray i'm making a nub mistake, but i'm pretty tech savey.


And after reboot with SD card in, same thing, 4 folders left and nothing else on the card

DCIM (from looking for photos) - Empty
LOST.DIR - Empty
newsrob - (Google reader app) - Empty
tmp - Empty

For all intents and purpose, my sd card was just formated.....

I was just stareing at a list of mp3s, went to play them in the Music app, said they weren't valid, next thing you know the music starts to disappear, pop up astro to see whats going on, and all my music, roms, pictures, videos are all gone, even my ring tones.....

wtf
