Help Droid deletes everything on SD card!!!

PS: This is slightly off topic, but Slacker still does not run right. It has serious bugs. Wouldn't surprise me a bit if it were the issue with the SD card.
 
I too had my SD card completely wiped yesterday.
I suspect Slacker radio as well. It's been installed for a few weeks, but I just started using it recently.
Uninstalled now. Will report back if it happens again.

This is a huuuge annoyance. Thankfully I had nothing irreplaceable on it, but it's still a real pain to load up with media again.
 
Uninstalled Slacker two days ago and have not had any problems with sdcard since. If I get some time in the next couple of days I'll back up the sdcard and reinstall Slacker. For now I'm satisfied that it is Slacker and won't reinstall until they get a version that says the problem was found and fixed. Too bad, I'll miss it.
 
If you had any problems with files on your SD card and running Slacker, please make sure you update to 1.0.386 version of the Application for Android.

This should resolve any issues you may have experienced.

Romee,
Before risking my sdcard files again, would you please confirm that Slacker has found and fixed a bug that could cause the files to be deleted. I don't want to reinstall Slacker just to test a hypothesis.

Yes, we were able to find the problem (it was a fairly corner case situation that probably only affected a handful of people). We were able to find reproduction steps on the .375 build, and confirmed that the .386 does not have the same problems.

That being said, you should always make sure to back up your data regardless. That's just something everyone should do anyways.

Agreed, but it would be impractical to back it up every time I use Slacker. :)
Here goes...
 
I just lost over 400 photos, everything I have taken from several trips since I got the Droid 4 months ago. I upgraded last week and started having problems with my Gallery not loading recent photos and closing down when I tried to open it. I powered down thinking that might help. When I powered up again, the gallery was blank--no items found. I have never used Slacker radio or connected to a PC (my PC is old and I don't really have any room for storage for photos there). I'm a very basic user. I have taken it to two Verizon stores. At the first store they said, they might be there, but they aren't a tech support store and referred me to another store. There, I was told, "yeah, that sometimes happens with upgrades, you should have removed your SD card before the upgrade. Another customer today lost all their contacts today. Nothing we can do." When I started expressing my frustration, I learned that the guy next to me had lost data in the upgrade also. Seems like it is a common problem although the phone tech support guy said he had never heard of it. I am very frustrated. I tried looking for the files with Astro. I also tried looking for a recovery product in the Marketplace, but couldn't find one. I don't really understand how I would actually get something like Recuva onto the Droid. Would I go to the DROID internet browser and try to download from there?

Not sure if this is relevant, but the upgrade also made it so I had to set up my non-gmail email again from scratch. So far my experience as a Droid user has been very disappointing. So far the only thing I really like about the Droid is the flashlight feature. I did like the camera, but not anymore.
