Any help here will be appreciated.
Just in the last few days I jave been getting error messages when trying to install some apps fromt he market.
One was a game, and some have been updates to apps I have already installed.
(GPS Tools being one of them)
Anyway the error says
UNKNOWN ERROR -18
I cannot find any information on this unknown error, so any news will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
v008.1
kernel 3.60
hmmm that issue used to come from roms that had a memory issue.
Try unmounting your sd card (from sd card settings) and then downloading the app with it unmounted, to see if that fixes the problem.
Cheers,
If its an sd card problem that might fit in with another problem that has just surfaced.
All my apps on the sd card appear now to be unistalled and TB cannot restore them.
Maybe the problem is with my sd card, I may have to back it up and format.
Cheers.

I'm having a problem with my 8GB sandisk card. My Htc Legend keeps giving me a pop up in the notification blind that says SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem. I've done some searching on google and notice people are having this problem with their Desires and other various android devices.
However I haven't come across a fix. I noticed one Legend owner had it occur after a restore of data from sd card. I'm having a feeling this happened to me as well since I got the OTA firmware upgrade yesterday. And I'm having the problem with the sd card today and I had the option to save date to sd. Today I unchecked it since I started using another card and I'm afraid of that one getting ruined.
Is there a way to fix my other card as I don't want to just throw away a perfectly fine 8GB card.
I've tried reformating in phone and pc. Have tried it in other phones. PC doesn't read it. Blackberry 8900 will not boot with it inserted and freezes if inserted after boot. myTouch 3G slide gives the same error. And does nothing when formatting.
i had this when i first got my new sd card and the phone basically to get it working i just went into the phone and formatted it via the android os then it mounted fine settings > storage > format (you may have to unmount first if it is still mounted )

I've tried this numerous times and it does not do anything. Does not show the option to unmount.
Hi all,
I guess my problem is very similar. Using an DHD with a 8 GB SD Card...
I did a factory restore including to wipe all data on SD card.
the DHD was rebooting and now I get the message Blank SD Card - SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem. in the notification bar.
is there any App I can restore my SD card? made full backup so ****ting on data just wana bring it back working.
Card gets not mounted... when I hit the message in notification bar it ask me to format card - I did multiple times with no success.
Anyone knows how to restore the card? Hope it's not gone for ever :-(
Thanks for help
same problem here, i guess a new sd card is due
Following I found out regarding the issue"SD card Blank/unsuported filesystem":
Just read my update here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11353140
there are 2 ways to fix this (one of them I can confirm restored the filesystem on my SD card)
Kind Regards,

PS.: thanks @ GOOGLE
PS.PS.: maybe a mod can merge the threads as I think this is a general problem with HTC phones

The sd card usually goes to raw format. Raw format supported software can help you extract the files and then you can use the full format option in windows 7, quick format checkbox unchecked.

Unmount the SD, install then re-mount it.
I know about the mounting/unmounting thing, but people have had success by deleting the smdl2tmp1.asec file in the "android_secure" folder on the sd card. I have not been able to find this particular file in that folder (connected phone to pc, and found all other .asec files, but not this one).
Has anyone had any success with this? or are there any other solutions for us besides unmounting?
adb install app.apk worked for me with guerilla bob game
im not sure how to unmount sdcard and install
hope this.helps
For some reason some apps won't update properly.
First go to:
Menu->Settings->Applications->Manage Applications
find the app and tap on the name. Then select the "Move to phone" button
Now hit the back button until you are at the main settings menu and then select SD Card & phone and tap on "Unmount SD Card"
Go back and mount your SD Card (same sub-menu).
Now update your app in the market. You can move it back to the SD Card when you are done updating if you wish.
That may work, except, I have uninstalled those programs (e.g Angry Birds) and reinstalled them from the market (after unmounting my SD card), which works, but now when trying to move them to the SD card, it says that it cannot....
This whole thing is getting rather frustrating, and it seems like there should be a deeper fix for this, instead of the hassle of unmounting, them mounting

You need to contact Google or the app devs then because this issue exists on multiple phones across multiple versions of Android.
i use Samsung galaxy s2 with the latest firmware version from Samsung kies (ginger bread 2.3.5) , the problem occurred after installing external SD card and move bunch of apps to it,i tried removing the external sd card from my device, the device stoped rebooting, when i insert it again the device keeps rebooting over and over, the problem is obviosley is moving apps to SD card, i tried to delete the content of the file (andro secure) in SD crad this file includes the moved applications from phone memory to external sd, the problem also stoped
i wasn't having this issue in 2.3.3 therefore
its one of the three:
1- android 2.3.5 do not accept lots of apps in external sd
or 2- there is a problem in a specific app in external sd which make the phone rebooting over and over but i don't know which app is causing the issue because i have lots of apps installed !
or- a problem in the newest firmware 2.3.5 as i heard many ppl having troubles with it
to fix the problem i did factory reset and the rebooting stopped but im scared now to move apps to sd card that the rebooting problem occur again as it happend to me twice after doning factory reset and move them.
i need your help guys, it's annoying to not be able to move apps to sd so the problem don't occur

I will be honestly: I didn't read all BUT
1) U have rebootings after putting files on external sd.
2) after factory reset problem was passed
3) copying again - reboot again
-> right?
1) U thought about wrong (damaged) files you copy?
2) Or maybe files which normally used from an app and this app now isn't able to use it because u moved?
Thing about and check this, I'm sure one of it would be the fold.

it's not copying actully, it's downloading the apps from market and move them from internal storage to external sd therefore i don't think it's a damage files case because they are a market apps however i move only compatible apps which doesn't have (lower right icon) in app2sd, install latest version of app2sd to know what (lower right icon) mean
I'm having the exact same problem! It just randomly started last night, I was playing the game "Blood and Glory" exited the game and around 2 minutes later after checking Facebook it started doing the boot loop.
I'm running the Sprint Epic Touch 4g with Android 2.3.6
I recently put in a 32g SD card a little over a week ago cause it seems the 16g internal is partitioned to only around 2gigs for apps and I have around 130 apps.
I use App2SD pro to move all my apps.
I'm having the same problem, I bought SanDisk SD Card 16GB. when I install it and moved all supported Apps to the SD Card the problem occurred and my SGS2 keeps rebooting over & over during the whole day.
One of my friends made a factory restore & installed the previous OS 2.3.4 and the problem disappeared!!
The thing is what if don't want to root my device and install 2.3.4 what we should do.... shall we keep the SD card only for Camera Pictures & Movies???
any suggestions???
Hey guys,
I am using SGS2 as well. My phone keeps rebooting like more than 2 times a day. randomly. I convince myself not to blame gingerbread2.3.5, thus i tried uninstall my apps in batch (5-10apps each round) and see which batch of my apps cause the prob, if they are not those who cause rebooting issue, i install them back (in phone space not SD card) but so far i still couldn't found and just few mins ago it rebooted again. it happens after the upgrade from 2.3.4 to 2.3.5, after i downloaded a few apps and updated a few apps. I will finish with the un-installation and re-installation.

saw this thread. people were talking about the Dolphin HD which caused the reboot issue, did you have Dolphin browser app installed?
I am having the same issue, too
It started on my S2 after the latest firmware update. I can unmount the SD card and the phone boots OK. I read somewhere that my SD card may have issues, so I purchased another and moved all of my files. The problem reoccurs with the new SD card. I do not have Dolphin browser installed.
I had this issue. I reformatted my sd card and then moved some apps and data back. One week reboot free. 32gb sandisk

In my SGS2 it reboots sometimes in the market, i dont know what to do...
test your sd card for errors...!? thats where i'd start
same problem ... do not restart I had to remove the microSD .. : (.... How do we fix??
SG2 rebooting all the time also
My Sg2 is rebooting every 20 minutes or so.
Is formatting the the SD card a fix?
Mine used to reboot 3 to 5 times a day. Did a factory reset and formatted the internal SD card and set everything backup without Dolphin browser and it's been good for about a week now, no more reboots.
Whether that was because of the rumor that Dolphin browser caused it or from the reformat of the sd card I don't know. But I'm happy none the less.
Got the same problem. It started 2 days ago, and the only fix I've found was to remove apps from my SD card.
From what I've tested :
- Formatting the SD card and copying back all the files doesn't help.
- Removing the SD card or having an empty one works.
- Uninstalling the Dolphin browser didn't help.
- Doubt it's a specific app causing the issue (nothing weird on my S2)
- Removing X number of apps on the SD card seems to work. Now I'm not sure if I had to clear a specific number of apps or a number of MBs, but it works (for now).
Hopefully we'll see a fix soon.

Yours sounds like a problem with an app...
Everyone else should test their sd cards for errors or try fixing bad sectors...
Used to happen on my previous phones with crap sd cards... Once I bought a decent good quality one its never happened
about a month and a half ago I removed dolphin and my reboots stopped. They started up again and my card became corrupted. Decided to go no-card for a while. Was fine for a month. Decided to go for a good deal on a sandisk 16 and 2 days later after moving a bunch of apps on the reboots are back.
Points to a card issue. I've been though 3 cards on this phone now and am about to reset it to factory and bring it in for diagnostics.
Driving me nuts.

I've got a Samsung class 10.. I Highly recommend
Sent from my GT-I9100
I got the same issue (2.3.5) and my SD Card is calss 4, the only way to avoid restart prob. Is to root and downgrade to 2.3.4
Waiting for any other feedback.
Any update Guys,,,,???
This problem is still occur in ICS leaks..
Without knowing this thread I have created similar thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21457609
Still, my thread is to gather data about how many user can reproduce this issue.
This issue is side effect starting from Samsung update 2.3.5..
The only way to avoid this issue is by downgrading to 2.3.4 or lower version.
Every few hours or so, I will get this message. My music player playlist will be wiped out, I am assuming the phone lost connection with the SD card, hence the connection with the music files on my SD card.
I am running CheckROM v5.5, Jelly Bean. FYI, the problem happens even when I was using ICS.
I have read around and tried to reformat from phone, but the problem persists. Any kind souls to help out here? If there any app to check if this is a faulty card or something? It's still covered under warranty I believe, so I can get the SD card changed.
Thanks

Try out the card in another device, if you get the same message the card is faulty.
There is a Windows tool for checking cards, have a look in one of the sd card threads and you should find the name of it, or Google it
thank you both for your suggestions
@gee it would be hard to replicate that environment, since the message occurs randomly at infrequent intervals, but thanks anyway
I have same problem too, when I on gingerbread my phone being normal and no error sd card but when I on Jelly Bean my phone being "preparing sdcard checking error"
SD Card if fully functional but its name is displayed as 7BDE-3B10 while on Marshmallow Rom. Till date tried formatting SD Card and also switching roms! Nothing seems to work for me. Would be glad if anyone could help me out with this small error. Due to this I cannot save pics and videos from Camera app to sd card due to the app incapable of detecting my sd card due to this name error! Thanks in advance!

Thank You CYANO11, that was informative but my problem is that i can't make my Sdcard as internal as it says my Sdcard is slow(Class 4) and now I'm using it as External Storage and this issue bothers me because my camera app isn't able to detect it as "Sdcard" as it is shown as Separate directory named "7BDE-3B10" whereas it should have been Under the Sdcard Directory! I just want to get the name corrected as either formatting or flashing roms again isn't helping me
Hope someone who has faced such a problem helps me....and thanks in advance :angel:
That's not an error. It's supposed to be that way in MM.
Stock camera app won't write to sdcard anyway, so I'm assuming you're using third party camera app.
In that case check if it has permission to write to external storage.
This might clear your confusion : Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Cannot write to SD Card
