Hi,
Recently, several of my 32GB SanDisk microSD cards have been losing files. The space is not recovered and there are a whole lot of files sitting in LOST.DIR with obscure names (actually, just numbers). Not all files/folders are removed - the first ones copied seem always to remain.
I haven't been able to pin down the circumstances that cause this. The most recent was when I used Akimbo to play some audiobooks in .m4a format. I added the books to Akimbo's library, but when I went to play them, they faulted and I found that the folders containing these books, and a number of other folders with books that I hadn't added to Akimbo's library, had disappeared. However, for the best part of a week before this I was successfully using Akimbo to do exactly the same thing, albeit using a different microSD card, and no files/folders seem to have disappeared.
At other times, I have loaded the files on to the card(s) from my Windows PC using a card reader/writer. All files and folders are present when I unmount (dismount?) the card, but when I check the card on the tablet after mounting it, I find that all but the first few folders have vanished.
I can't work out what's different as I have been very successfully using Akimbo for the past 2 years in exactly this way using a good number of cards, all 32GB SanDisk??? I'm using a Samsung Galaxy 7.7, running Android 4.0.4.
Has anyone experienced this problem and is there a way to prevent it? A related question is: how do I recover the files in the LOST.DIR - they seem to be the right size for folders and the .m4a files.
Thanks in advance,
Paul.
