Its getting me mad and if i can fix this ill have the best phone in the world! haha HELP
 
Welcome to AF.

If you go to settings > storage can you mount the SD card?

Are you getting any sort of error with the SD card popping up in your notification bar when you restart?

When i restart it does not say "preparing sd card" like it used to. If i put the card into my old droid 1, the card is read and all my music and stuff loads up. But not on my Thunderbolt. Could it be the rom? If i do a factory reset is my rom backed up? or do you think its my phone?
 
A factory reset would restore the rom to a fresh flash state so that is worth trying. It could be the SD reader on the phone but I doubt it. When you look in the storage settings is it showing the SD card as mounted?

Yeah it says its mounted. And tells me how much space i have on it... what should i do?
 
No, if you use astro or root explorer from the market can they read the SD card? If they can download an app called sd rescan from the market and run it to see if that fixes the issue.
 
i have the issue too b4 and after root something with the sd card is messed up download a app called sdrescan its a good fix for it it will rescan your sd card and everything will show up
 
What you are saying is happening doesn't make sense. If the phone reads the SD card when connected to the computer it should be able to read it as it uses the same hardware to do each. It doesn't appear to be an issue with the sd card since it works for other devices. Before I recommend formatting the SD card I would suggest booting into recovery and seeing if recovery can see the SD card. If it can and you can navigate in recovery and see files then flash a different rom or restore a backup to see if it work the a different rom.

I backed up my phone earlier and while it was backing up it read the ad card. Must be something with the rom I guess
 
I hope people are properly dismounting their phone and sd card from their cpu. I know once with my Incredible I forgot to dismount before unplugging from cpu. The card started acting up, would randomly dismount from phone and the phone couldn't read the card. I ended up having to reformat the card to fix the problem. So just one time can corrupt the card.

I think its a rom issue because it doesn't recognize my other sd card either
