Hi all,
I am having a wierd problem with my micro SD card. I have noticed that it has gotten corrupted (Broken as it says in the notification) a handful of times now. I just rebooted my phone and during start up, it stopped at the AT&T Spash, then restarted, it took a little while longer to fully reboot, but once it did I got a "Broken Card" notification. Now that I think of it, the corruption seems to be happening any time I restart the phone.
Has anyone else had this problem, or heard of it? Is the card bad maybe? It seems to work fine till I do a reboot. I am getting kinda tired of reformating the card and reloading my stuff on it.
Thanks

Hey, a few months ago, thanks to you guys, I got Prime v2 up and running on my optimus and ever since then it will occasionally freeze up attempt to restart and then lock up on the android screen and i have to take out the battery and restart it. What I'm guessing is going on is that the phone think the SD card (where it runs Prime from) is removed. When I had the stock T-Mobile software on it I always had warnings about the SD card being removed. Well the past few weeks this has been happening about 8-12 times a day and sometimes I don't notice it and my phone has been offline for an hour, missing calls.
Is this common? Is it a hardware thing I can fix or just a software issue I can fix fix with a ROM upgrade? I'm thinking of just flashing back the T-Mobile software but I really really don't want to have to reinstall and setup all my apps and re-enter all my contacts (Gmail syncing doesn't work that well here in China for some reason). Honestly the only thing that I need the ROM for is using my VPN because the stock won't do it.
could be some damaged / bent pins on the sd area
This is unusual... Never happened to me before

I also had some SD card and boot issues with the prime rom. Switched to CM7 rom a few days ago and until now it works flawlessly.
This is the rom I used: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946354
This has happened to me twice, though I'm on stock 2.2.2. My phone is rooted and I use Link2SD.
The first time, I was listening to some songs when suddenly the SD card unmounted itself and the phone suddenly restarted from the Android screen, and got stuck there, same as you. The second time, I took my phone from my pocket and found it at the android screen, stuck! Both times, I had to take out my battery, and then switch on the phone again.
Both times, there is no reason for the phone to hang because it ran out of memory or something, because I clear unwanted background apps from time to time, and on both occasions, I wasn't running any apps that take up a lot of system resources.
Anyone knows how to fix this?
I'm getting this problem a lot from my phone nowadays especially after dropping it. Is this a problem with my SD card or my phone? I've had several phones before and always dropped them once in a while but it seems that the SGS2 is extremely sensitive to them. Also, I don't know if it's related but I'm hearing a very soft hissing sound whenever I plug in my earphones. The sound is very minute and is similar a cd player whenever the cd starts to spin from idle.

You should not drop your phone.
I had issues with my external sd card twice.
Now I am using my third sd card and everything is fine.
The others, it could send back for warranty replacement.
But I am not sure about the "real" cause of that issue.
So, just change your sd card and check this for a while.
Maybe it's the sd card, maybe the phone?!
Good luck !
P.S.: I never recognized the sound issue you mentioned on my phone.
Now if you two have finished the pissing contest...
If you google for the error message "sd card has been removed unexpectedly" you'll see it's not unique to samsung either, and I suspect it's a bug in android. I've had it happen when the phone was sitting perfecly still on the table, and it has happened much less lately after I started swapping newer version of OS and kernel.
No solution really unless your problem is really caused by hardware problem, just restart your phone and it'll be fine.

Thanks for answer. You have often this error occurs? And what android version you have?
Used to be every couple of days, but haven't seen it in a while. Running xxki3 and siyah kernel.

Hey!
Did you resolve the problem somehow?
I keep getting it on my I900. I've synched my spotify tracks to my external sd, but constantly need to reboot due to the error message. Friking me out!!
Is the problem my SD-card - a Kingston 16 GB SDHC (I think?), or my phone? Love my S2, but this is driving me insane !!!
"Sd card has been removed unexpectedly" my a** !

something strange to share.. i upgraded a 8gb sd card to a 16gb and was working fine for last few days. now it disappears randomly and i have to reboot and it shows up as mounted.. everything app that requires the card fails until i restart. any suggestions? perhaps i have bad card?
Edited. rooted NT & havent changed anything since card upgrade
Have you tried taking it out and putting it back in? Perhaps it isn't seated well. I had something like that happen once right after I got mine, but not since.
This happened to me a few times, I just pop it out and put it back in and it remounts
Sometimes my Atrix says "No SIM Card" after booting up, even when I insert a SIM card.
I can still make calls, and the signal strength shows normally, though.
This may be solved by several reboot, but it's annoying.
I have this issue using Wet Dream 1.4.4 or Darkside pre-final.
Can anyone help?
Bump for answers...
Don't know why it happens, but for me it usually happens when the phone autonomously reboots. I usually can tell when it is going to happen because the boot process takes a very long time. I usually reboot the phone and it works. Lately it's been happening more often than the widget disappearing problem.
Sorry, I've got nothing other than reboot.
I had this issue on basically all of my previous phones that I used for a long time. Might be because the conductors or whatever are going bad. Been drinking so I don't exactly remember what they're called.. Licking the SIM card always fixed that problem for me. But that could cause problems later on. Liquid + electronic = bad. Only had to do it once in a blue moon and never had an issue with the phone completely dying on me, but that IS a possibility.
i've had this problem once in a while as well on 1.4.3 and again it's solved with a reboot. i believe is has something to do with not shutting down properly. as i've only seen it happen when im trying to flash files and need to reboot or some freak accident and the phone crashes and reboots.
i believe that certain features or actions might not work properly if you leave it in that state without rebooting to fix it.
The first time this happened to me (about a week after I first got the phone), I thought it was temporary and logged into the phone. It made me put in my Motoblur information and lots of things were not working as expected. After a reboot, the phone saw the SIM card, but it required me to go through Motoblur setup again to get it back to the original state.
Since then I just reboot the phone when it happens and don't even try to use it in that state.
Hello.
First of all, I've been running CM7, having used CM9 for a while and decided it's not for our phones yet. My X10MP has been working fine.
Today, I tried to move some apps to the SD card. When I did so, one in particular, a GPS app, TMN Drive, got stuck and when I picked my phone up and pressed the unlock button. Nothing happened. It seemed to have shut down. So I took out the battery and tried it again.
Now I'm aware of the issue... Once the screen shuts down to lock the phone, it doesn't come back on. I know this because I have unlocked the screen (with it off) and messed with the volume buttons and heard the volume beep.
The first time this happened, the battery got quite hot. I flashed the ROM again, figuring something had botched up. It's still acting up when it's time to show me the unlock screen. I have removed the SD card, just in case, to check if it had anything to do with this issue, but the ROM doesn't start without an SD card (completely forgot).
What do you think might have caused this? I'd like to format the card only if necessary. Could it be a kernel issue?
Thanks

Sorry that my answer doesn't help you very much:
1)Hasn't ever happened to me
2)The Rom starts WITHOUT a Micro SD,the kernel doesnt.So,try booting until MiniCM7 logo with micro sd and then remove it.
3)Are you sure you flashed nAa-14 & MiniCM7-2.2.1?Cause I did yesterday and this crazy thing hasn't happened to me.
Ah, sorry, I knew there was an SD issue, mixed up components a bit, thank you.
Well, I just tried your second suggestion, and the issue is gone. Maybe something did really get screwed up? Anyway, I'll try to take as many files as I can from the card and wipe it clean. That should solve it.
I'm still on nAa-13, haven't been here for a while. I didn't reflash the kernel, just the ROM, Gapps and keyboard (I believe it's your file, actually). It's a nice excuse to update everything, I guess.
Thank you very much!
