I have been having problems with my sd card dissapearing. If I eject and reinsert the card it comes back. This is happening frequently and has happened on multiple roms including T-Mobile USA Stock rom and an Energy Rom.
I don't know if your know, but when you have your phone connected to your pc, the sd card is unavailable on the phone...
is the sd card defect?
did you test it in another device?

I am not connected to a pc when it happens. Have people experienced faulty cards that work some of the time? I don't use any other microsd devices frequently enough to see if the card stops working on other devices. If others have experienced faulty cards acting like this I'll try picking up another card.
maybe it helps if you format the sd again?

Yeah try reformat it..
Not had any problems with my 6month old SanDisk 4GB, i use it every day listening mp3z at work.
Hope you get it sorted
It took me a while to get everything off of it but I've done a full format and reloaded it. So far so good. Card hasn't dissapeared and phone hasn't locked up. I will update the thread if things go south . Thank's for the help It hadn't occured to me that a format would fix the problem.
P.S. for anyone else who has this problem I didn't trust a quick format. It took an hour but I did a full format. You are welcome to go with the quick format if you want to try.
Dont waste time
Do not waste your time...go for a one to one exchange with the HTC customer SErvice if your phone are under warranty.Make a backup by buying another small capacity sd Card..just for safety....cheers

Had to return my 3125 because the microSD cards would become corrupt for no reason. This happened twice. Thank goodness I was able to return the microSD cards as defective. This is what happened: Folders/Files would disappear out of the blue. No programs running, no nothing. Listening to music thru my Motorola Bluetooth transceiver(A2DP is very cool). Shut everything down. A couple hours later, Music folder invisible. It's still there, you just can't see it or access it. Take the card to my PC and it does not recognize the microSD card anymore. Hangs everything up. So, from my phone I delete everything from the microSD card. Check the Properties and it shows there is still a gb of data on the card. Now I'm just pissed, so everything goes back to the store. I still had a few days on Cingular's 30 day return policy (Cingular is great). I read a few other threads where people were havng the same issue. Buyer beware. [Applied the A2DP hack to my 2125 (which is a better phone - better reception, easier to use with one hand, ect...) works great - see http://richtech.wordpress.com/2006/05/11/go-wireless-on-your-cingular-2125/
for instructions. I did NOT upgrade my ROM before performing the modification. I still have ROM version 1.0.9.0 and everything works fine.
could be a microsd card problem
would you please post you microsd make and model?
i am currently using a transcend 1gb (normal speed)
been using it everyday for music(yeah a2dp is great) photos documents .... etc
all is fine .. the normal speed doesn't lags so much like when it was on my ppc
I was using a Sandisk (normal speed) microSD purchased from a Verizon Wireless retail store.
I lost a folder (Application Data/Home) during the night without touching the phone. Had to send it in, and received a brand new one back. I do NOT have a memory card at all!
I too is using a microSD card of Sandisk but it dosnot has ne problem.
there is a similar post on howard forums. I had this same problem happen to me twice. Both times it was a sandisk 1gb card, but one of them was the ULTRA model. There is something frying SD cards...and it's not based on brand. I have the qtek 8500 and it happened

I have read somewhere on these forums that if u let ur device to charge for more than 3-4 hrs or leave it by accessing gprs for some time then the device gets hot and can fry ur sd cards or ne internal chip.
dude... i am having the same problem as you... the funniest part is that my Micro SD goes corrupt every 3rd after the reset of the phone or i uses the handfree kit.... but i am using a Dopod S300... is it really the card problem or the phone? i am still figuring out.. cause each time i take my phone to the shop the Micro SD will just be back to normal after 1 hour... but i am using only 512mb
I recently bought a 16g class 4 microsd card and I'm experiencing some issues.. It seems that whenever I copy something over, that's the last thing I can copy.. Say I copy everything I backed up on my sd card that I want on the new one, then try to copy over music onto it, windows will show its copied over, but when I put it into the phone it's as if nothing was copied other than the first batch.. I know I'm doing a very poor job explaining this, but it's a very strange issue I'm having. I have done a full fat32 format, quick format, format from the phone, and a few combinations of each. Any help would be very appreciated.
i kinda have almost the same problems with you, and after another trial and error effort can come into some conclusion that the problems is with micro sdcard quality.. (mine was cheap not well-know brand memory).
so, i never bought that cheap memory again and swap it with another known brand.. an voila! the problems is gone
sorry if that's not very helpful bro, just sharing my own experience.
Ok so I got the Amaze, had everything setup and I decide to use my microsd card from my G2 and place in the Amaze. Shut the phone off, took the backing off, place teh sd card in, turned it on. Worked! For about a minute! It goes down hill from there. The phone is now saying that my SD card is damaged or if it's in there, it says Removed SD Card. I've formatted the card plenty of times, inserted and took it out plenty of times, tried 2 other sd cards, all have the same problem. Put those SD cards back into the original phones and they work fine. I'm stumped. I need help. Any ideas or suggestions? Anyone having the same issue?
Have you tried a different SD card?
Also, try to reformat it (make sure to backup your files) and just put it in without any files inside. You could also format the card from the phone as well (backup before you do).

Yeah, I've tried 3 different cards. I've reformatted them all through the computer but I couldn't through the phone. Every time I've tried through the phone, it wouldn't do anything.
at this point I don't know if it's a hardware issue or a software issue. I didn't a Factory Reset, still the same problem.. I love this phone! Everything else is awesome besides this one issue!

Run! Don't walk back to the T-Mobile store and have them exchange it.
It doesn't matter if it is hardware or software, you are experiencing an issue that others with the same product are not. You did your due diligence as far as trouble shooting yourself. Take it in to the store and tell the rep to either fix it, tell you what you are doing wrong, or swap it out.
Don't wait any longer looking for solution here!
Go now!
LOL Thanks! I'm heading there in about 30mins when I get out of work!
So I got it replaced! SD Card works! Now I gotta bring it back for another one because when the soft keys light up, you can see two dots like they didn't coat the screen properly and missed a few spots..
Hey all. Over the past week or so, I've been experiencing a problem where randomly, a message will come up in a random task saying something like "SD Card unmounted unexpectedly, it may be damaged." Anybody else experiencing this? It is the stock SD card and I've made 100% sure it wasn't loose or anything. Think this could just be a bad SD card?

I'm running into the same problem. I've been ignoring it in hopes that it's a software issue that will get resolved whenever a JB ROM is released. Are you running a custom rom? I'm running The Base 0.7.3.
Fyi, I haven't had this problem at all in over two months of use. Ran stock for about a month and The Base rom for the past month.
Thank god other people have had it happen too. It's happened to me a lot BUT.. I had a 32gb class 4 SanDisk in my phone and that was constantly unmounting itself but I put the 16gb that came with my phone and it has yet to do it. Are you guys using a card other than what it came with?

It happens to mine quite a bit, probably 7-10 times a day. I'm using a SanDisk 64GB class 10 SD card, formatted as ExFAT. Maybe I'll try switching back to the stock card to see if that has anything to do with it.
I had the same problem and switch out the card and the error stopped. I had the 32GB SanDisk Ultra and with that card it I was getting the random dismounts. I replaced it with the stock card and was working fine. I returned the SanDisk card and got a new one and it seems to be fine for about 5 days now.
What file formats are you using. My 64 GB is formatted as Fat32 and I've never had this issue. I also think that the included SD Card was pre-formatted to Fat32 which may be the reason it stopped when you switched back to it.
There you go... I've always used the stock sd card. Are you guys losing data when this happens?
This used to happen to me on my 64GB Sandisk Class 10 formatted with exFAT. I fixed it by running CHKDSK with both options checked in Windows 7. Hasn't happened since. It said it didn't detect any errors but it did something lol.
I don't believe I've lost any data. All of the songs I put on the SD card still play. I may try repairing it or using the SD card from my inspire, which may prove to be worse since I think it's only a class 4. I'll post once I figure something out.
One last thing was I tried doing a non-quick format of the card and after that my phone would not recognize that card at all until i exchanged it for a new one.
I generally don't recommend letting Windows GUI format a flash card. Google around for windows make clean, windows command line clean and format. That's your ticket right there.
Hi All,
Anyone have issues with their sdcard being detected with the G5? I have an 850 and a lot of the time the sdcard stops working or being detected and i cant see why. A reboot and then waiting 20 mins usually fixes it and it shows up in the storage section but its getting annoying.. May have to try another card to see what the story is with that but for now i wondered if anyone else had drama with it.
Cheers
Cass
Maybe the card is dying i would suggest backing up the data just to be safe
No problem with mine

Backed up and reformated the card on pc as ntfs. Card detected on insert, it told me it was corrupt, which it was due to no ntfs support and it formatted it again as exFat. Lets see how it goes now.

Hope it goes well!
This seems to be frequent to a certain extent. This is a hardware issue. Same with S7 Edge or non-Edge (visit page: digitaltrends.com/mobile/galaxy-s7-edge-problems/8/
It seems that LG has the same issue. It could also be an Android 6 issue.
I got my new S7. I have sent to other one for repair. They changed the motherboard. Then it came back with the same issue. Then Samsung sent me a bran new S7. I have no more SD card notifications at all. Not even when I reboot the phone. Yesterday (again) I was listening to music (a set of 2 hours long) from my SD card. I started to look at pictures (again) at the same time. After 40 mins or so, my phone stopped the music and stopped being able to read my SD. Everything froze and I had to reboot. Then, again, a few mins later (listening to music and looking at pictures), it did it again. On the second time, I was not able to reboot the phone using the power button (keeping pressure for 10 seconds). I had to do it using the volume down/home/power. The phone screen was totally black and there was no way to unfreeze it. My notification light was flashing blue (as I had new emails and text), but the phone was not responsive at all.
It seems like Samsung just removed the SD notification as a whole in the new phone but did not fix the issue.
For those who don't have the issue, before commenting, I would appreciate if you could listen to music and look at your pictures at the same time (all from the micro SD card) for at least 30-40 minutes.
I strongly believe that ALL phones have this issue, but that those who don't just have not access pictures while listening to music (demanding on the SD card reading). Do it if you can... and see if it creates problems. And let me know once you did the above.
I forgot to mention. I am a computer and smartphone savy. I flashed all my S1, S2, S3, S4 on a daily basis. I did purchased another SD card (even if my sandisk is working perfectly on my S5). I got a Samsung evo 64gm. The issue remains on both SD cards, and before you comment about it, YES i did reformat on multiple occasions both with my pc AND within the phone. I also did factory reset on multiple occasions. So it is not the SD's the problem. Just trust, I did everything possible.
I have the g5 se and have bought a 128gb card (actually have 3) but none of the 3 work with this phone and when i manage to get the files (music) on the sd when in device it deletes them all is this still the issue people are having
