Hello members,
Bought a new lg optimus one a few days ago. Came with a stock 2GB card and did not install anything much in it.
Just songs and a few apps from android market like - angry birds, handcent SMS etc..
Yesterday I saw this sd unmount problem for the first time.. Even the contacts in the contact list disappeared. But after a restart and all things came back to normal. Then again saw same things a few hours later.. But did not act on it and things became normal by itself!!
Can you please help me:
1) identify my sd card class?
2) identify if my phone is suffering from sd unmount problem?
3) solve this sd unmount problem(if any) with this stock card.
Hopping to get helped soon
Still awaiting help.. Please help guys.. :|
open the back cover and look at the sd card. The class of the card is written inside a small circle (the circle is not whole) [the sd cards of class 2,4,6 are common]
NOrmally class4 cards are reported to have issues. I myself have this problem on my CLass4 8gb san disk card.
A way to reduce sd unmounts is to install all the apps to phone memory and use the sd card only for read operations (like watching movies and listening to mp3's etc)
I have noticed sd unmounts while an app tries to write data to the sd card. I have never had any issues while reading from an sd card.
If the SD does not have the number inside the circle then its probably class 1. The stock SDs do not always work because they do not come from LG originally. They come from the your local LG retailer.
The solution is to go for a higher class. And not only the class, buy a MicroSDHC that is of a known brand. I had the same problem as you with my stock card and changed it directly because I had the same issue with my old GT540.
Apparently, android 2.1 and higher need fast cards for writing.
or u could try some custom rom's
cause my phone came with a samsung 2G SD and had unmount problems with stock rom
Guys which class card should I go with?? And apart from changing to a new card, is there any other option?

the default sd card provided by lg is class 2
stock rom has unmount problem so try custom rom
if u want to change sd card go for class 6 or 8 san disk works good

Which custom ROM can help me and which also has a good battery backup? My girlfriend actually owns it who is a light user... She do not want to play high end games and all.. She just wants the phone to work good..
Also purchasing a class 6 would be out of budget for me.. But can a SanDisk 8gb sdhc class 4 card do some good?

as far as sd card is concerned just try the custom rom and see id the problem persist since she is not a heavy user she wont be needing 8 gb card as well untill unless she listen to songs. while sd card class 4 is good enough i am using that too san disk since other was out of my budget i bought it as i needed higher storage space but my unmount problem was solved flashing custom rom in my 2 gb sd card provided by lg
move all the apps to phone memory. this will reduce the sd card unmounts.

Any card should work for it
For app2SD it is recommended you have AT LEAST a class 4 card or higher. I have a class 4 8GB but I think I want to get a higher class.... when it goes on sale obviously
I will buy a class 6 memory card as soon as posible, maybe my lagging with apps will stop.

i've heard that lagging is also due to the reason that either the phones processor is slow or that the since many apps dont support to be run over on the sd card could be a reason, but hey i could wrong

I think that this time it wont be like that, because lagging started when i started to use 16GB memory card, before that everything worked fine.
And crashes the HTC Sense, i have to force close it, not applications that are saved on sd card.
is it ok to buy 16 gb sd card for my mini not pro
i mean that the won't be slow ....etc ?
it is ok, i have an x10mini too, and i'm using a 16gb sdcard in it, and it's working very fine and fast, so just go buy it and enjoy
Here another 16GB SD card user.
For me its perfect, I have no feeling that it slow down or something
i got a new 16GB SDHC card couple of weeks ago, but since then my phone sometimes restarted itself, and some apps is running very bad, particularly Waze (it's a GPS programm). I tried to format the card with the PC and phone also, but still same results. I had a 2GB card, and had no any problem it all...
Any ideas what may be the problem?
Thank you in advance
I'm using 16 GB card, and my phone is speed. It's no slowest xD
Can you tell me please what card exactly do you use?
Thank you

Problem with SanDisk 16GB microSDHC
I also already had a 16 GB SanDisk, I bought it on amazon. I'm still trying to return it, my phone restarts every time I try to format it.
i tryed a sandisk 16gb too but restarts alwasy
after buying a new one from kingston class 4 it works perfectly
sry for bad english
I have A-data 16GB sdhc 10 class and when i copy my files and i extract from the pc my phone don't recognize my memory and when i insert one more time and say my pc that the memory don't have format and i have to format one more time. Someone can i help me?
try formatting the block size to 32KB
An sd card does not need to be formated only hdd do... What couldve hapend is that your boot sector got screwed up. Try putting your sd card in an card reader and connect it to the pc. On windows 7 go to start type cmd and hit enter. Then type: chkdsk /X /F /A:, where A: is your card reader. Hit enter and wait. I revived a couple SD Card by this method. Without losing any data!
***Ignore this***
Edited for clarity.
I have a Class4 16 gb card. Worked well so far.
Guys - Can we lose the personal criticism here - this thread is bang on the money with a problem I'm really struggling with and I'd hate for the thread just to become a shouting match.
My daughters x10 Mini Pro (running latest paul-xxx version of CM7) is just refusing to play nicely with a Sandisk 8Gig Class 4 SDHC which has prviously worked perfectly in a Samsung Genio.
On the 8 Gig card music jumps between tracks as you are listening , apps moved to SD Card refuse to run, photos save OK and will open once in Gallery but then the jpgs get corrupted and cannot be reopened on the phone or when transfered to a PC.... and to crown it all I get random reboots/freezes.
If I drop back to an old Kingston 2 Gig Micro-SD (ie non-SDHC) everything on the phone works fine and yet when I format the 8Gig card on my PC, there are never any errors and I can then copy files on and off the card (via the card reader in the PC) multiple times with no issues.
Is this just a somewhat more extreme example of other peoples experiences or would you suspect my micro SD is b*ggered?
I suspect that this "quality" Sony phone is just so sensitive to SDHC cards that I need to get one which others can confirm works reliably and stick to it.
For now my daughter is content to run with the 2 Gig card and have a stable, working phone but obviously she'd like to carry more than a dozen Albums and Apps at any time.
Any advice?

Hi baller,
I also have a 64gb sandisk ultra I am running, when you format the card, you need to use fat32 with a 16kb cluster size. I you just have the one partition you will end up with approx 59gb of space. I used MiniTool Partiton, free for home use. Anyway, that was my first setup, now I have a 28gb fat32 partiton and a 31gb ext4 partition. I am running the mod from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803252 on blackbean 3 with the modified boot.blob from YoMark. If you try this out, and download and of the modified boot.blob files, make sure when you insert them into the rom that you change the name to be boot.blob. Each one is specific to a certain rom so don't try to mix and match... class 10 card works the best for this but I think some people have used class 6 also... depends on the brand of card mostly...
Link2SD is the app i've been using since gingerbread up until jellybean. works like a charm. it's free, too!

The card may be failing. I had 2 class 10 cards fail on me. Try a class 4. They seem to be working good for me.

The card was replaced with a new 16GB Kingston class 10.
After a week the second card died entirely, it was not recognized on any device.
Could my phone be the fault?
I switched now to Kingmax 16GB class 10.
Hope this will be alright

Wow. It could be. If you are overclocking try disabling that. It may be causing too much heat. Also I know that pulling the card out without unmounting it through settings will cause it to apear damaged. I had to run a disk check on my pc a few times to fix one card.
I havent used and SD card in this phone the entire time I've owned it, but today I popped a 32Gb class 10 card in, and erased it of everything.
Now the phone recognizes the card and is reporting how much free space is available, but I cant seem to put anything on it, no pictures/videos, no game files, nothing. The camera app doesn't give me the option of saving to the card either.
The only Android/SD card experience I have is with a Note II that I used to own, and my Shield Portable. Both of those devices give me options to use the card in one manner or the other.
Am I missing something?
Never mind I guess :/
when i upgrade to lollipop ihave a problem with sd card 64gb formatted exfat and fat32 says: inset card while it is
