Hopefully you have this fixed by now.....

I had this happen the other day. I had it hooked to my computer with the SD card mounted. I disconnected the phone from the computer without unmounting the SD card first. The phone started scanning and didn't stop, just as you were reporting. To get it working again I reconnected it and remounted the SD card. It took a little longer than usual to mount but it eventually worked. I unmounted before disconnecting it after that and all was well. I typically disconnect without unmounting and have not seen this again, seems like a fluke.

Do you SERIOUSLY think I havent done that? Take your time and think about that for a minute....

On another note...I guess this is a faulty phone. Not wanting to send it back since I have minimal backlight bleed...

is probably the sdcard, might have gotten corrupted.

Try formatting the sdcard and see if that helps

It scans the SD card fine but the internal one the phones sd I think...takes forever.

I see what you are saying I thought you meant the external one. In that case I would still format phone internal memory.

Could be corrupted
