Hello,
I bought a 2GB Sandisk microSD today from a shop.
Upon inserting it into my hermes, it got stuck: the normal 'spring' action didn't work, and the more I pushed, the more the card slipped into the sd slot until it wouldn't go any further ...
I had to use a pin to slowly pry it out from the slot. Fortunately I got it out.
So did I get a dodgy / fake card?
I did notice that on the dummy microSD card that came with hermes, the front tip (the end that goes into the slot first) is narrower on both left and right side of the card than the back. While on the card I got today, only the left side is narrower; the right side is a straight flush line ... which smells fishy.
Should I return this? The shop keeper keeps saying it's the real thing ...
thanks
It'll loosen up. Mine did that too (on two different devices) for the first few times. BUT, SanDisk doesn't work in Hermes, so, take it back because of that. You need a JAPAN made MicroSD Card... There's a thread on this.

Same here, I have a 2GB SanDisk Micro for over 6mths now, fully utilised and works flawlessly. A lot of ppl bought same card from same place I did, and I haven't heard complaints.
And fits perfectly in my TyTN, from day one.
I'll be the third to say that I have never heard of nor have I ever had problems using my 2gb Sandisk in my Hermes.. Legolas, what are you smoking?
And if you could please provide a link to that thread, I would appreciate acquiring its knowledge.
I have 2 sandisk 2 gig both brought about 4 months apart from seperate suppliers both work fine.

Odd that you aren't seeing it.. On my two 8525, I can get the cards to disappear almost on demand.
It looks like mostly a Cingular ROM issue in that thread. Maybe that's why I don't have same problem, I've had my original TyTN ROM until I flashed to WM6 XDA Live 1.0, with which works fine too (not in a hurry to change to xda live 2.0, 1.0 so far works good for me).
I haven't had a single disappearance of my card and/or loss of a file since I bought the phone in Sept last year.
Yes, sandisk cards work fine. The issue with cards disappearing is a rom issue which will eventually be resolved. If you are using a stable rom you won't have a problem.
I've never had to force a card in the slot though!
problem "fixed"
Hi everyone,
Thanks for the replies.
FYI, I've "fixed" the insertion problem now: it seems that I need to be a little careful when inserting the card into the slot, and keep it a little more to the left and down.
The first time I inserted it, I pushed it in a little higher into the slot, which caused it to get stuck. So the problem doesn't occur now, though it does make me wonder why the slot was made with such loose tolerances (I'd expected the card to either go in or not; and if it does go in, the slot should be such that the card goes in without any need for the user to be 'careful').
And the Sandisk 2GB card reads / writes fine in my hermes. I'm using the latest 3.5 ROM from HTC.
cheers.
Changed from SanDisk to Kingston 2GB card. And the device works without any freezes. I guess the Hermes DOES have issues with the SanDisk cards. Only my opinion..
had some corrupt files on my 2gb storage card so i copied off the good stuff then reformated as fat32 alloc unit 512. copied files back on but now TomTom runs like a dog.
have i used the right settings for reformatting?
any other suggestions?

What rom? BL? Radio? etc..? What do you have on the card? Do you experience any issues where the phone goes to sleep and never wakes up until you soft-reset? Do you *ever* need to remove and re-insert the card?
Please, when you're posting information that you want to share with others, be DESCRIPTIVE! We'll never figure stuff out if all you contribute is, "Mine works".
I have a problem
I bought 3 weeks ago an Optimus Lg One in Spain with Movistar.
Android 2.2
Software: LG-P500-V10b
I was very happy with the phone, until in two weeks I have been off suddenly and I had to remove the battery to fire you.
Any ideas?
Thank you

Until in 2 weeks wat??
It might be some app that may cause that like a call recorder or full screen caller id. So be appropriate.

Hello, and rebooted to factory defaults.
I read online that can be for the microSD card that comes with the phone.

I am having quite hard time trying to understand your English. What is your problem exactly?
- the phone DOES turn off when NOT wanted
or
- you CANNOT turn off the phone when it IS wanted?
aaa .. jjaja. Sorry, sorry.
The problem is that the phone is turned off suddenly 3 times. To switch I have to remove the battery and putting it back.

I recommend for you update the firmware version V10b to V10r?
I've also noticed since I removed the sd card the phone is not turned off.
If you are using the original SD card supplied with the phone, those are pure junk... Would highly recommend replacing it with something decent in any case.
As for the ROM upgrade - yeah some SD card issues have been sorted out this way, worth a try.

I upgraded the firmware to version v10r, and updated the OS to 2.2.1.
Of time without changing the sd card, I have no problems unmount the SD and so far has not shut down again.
I Face kinda same problem, Phone suddenly switches off and turn back on itself, and sd card is not read. I have to remove sd card and put it back to make it work, what might be the problem ?
Maybe fault in phone hardware...

Do as I do. Try to spend a few days without the sd card in the phone, if you do not have that problem, it can be on the card.
You can also upgrade to the latest firmware from LG
Hey all,
I thought I would share my findings to help others with the same issue.
Two days ago I kept catching glimpses of a card image in the notifications at the top of the screen, but it would only be for a second so I could not see what it was trying to tell me. But had a quick look and sd card seemed fine and all data was present on handset. A couple of hours later it popped up with "SD Card Unexpectedly Removed". I tried ejecting and reinserting,restarting device and turning off and removing battery all to no avail. So I did a quick search which showed this seemed to be quite a common issue, after reading many threads with people saying the sd card is corrupt or network providers saying it was software and to do a restore. I decided before all that hassle I would open the phone and check the circuitboard expecting it to be a dry solder joint. One thing I will point out that was different to some other users is the fact my sd card was not visible with the phone connected to the computer, so this may not solve all related issues.
THE FIX
Turn off phone, remove the battery, SIM card and sd card. Remove all screws except the one by the 3.5mm jack. Gently pull the white plastic trim that surrounds the card holders and battery but the top part with speaker and camera does not need removing. Once removed if you look to the left of the sd card holder you will see the ribbon that connects the sd card to the main circuit board and at the end of the ribbon is the connector. Mine was disconnected and was loose, even if yours is not loose it would be worth gently pulling it off and reconnecting it. Then reassemble in the reverse order.
This was a nice surprise in the sense it was a very simple fix. However when I mounted the sd card even directly in my pc it was not found, I assume that the loose connector floating about had probably shorted its connections and caused an issue with the sd card. After a handfuls of attempts at mounting it in my pc it was finally detected and I backed up all the data and reformatted the sd card, then copied the data back,mounted it in my phone and was happy to find it all working as expected.
I hope this information will help some of you out, as it was a simple fix to a simple issue and results from searching had no solutions, just lots of assumptions.
And what can I do
Hi
I read your articles and seem very good but u have a question.
I had the same issue and I saw that every time my phone said I hat message it creates in my sd card a folder named lost. I and then i saw that one part of my battery was going there, ti reconnect the phone with my sd card
I formatted my sd card and did all the things that I found in the Internetbut nnothing works and I just change my sd for another one I had and sincethere u ddon't have any other issue, but my computer detects very good my first sd card and I'm not sure how to fix it.
Any idea?

Recently ive just faced this issue, what I did is to insert my 32gb sd card in my PC and run CHKDISK, havent got any error while performing this, thereafter i inserted it in my phone & goodness till now this sd card error hasn't appear yet. (finger crossed).
Mine did something like this a few times and then the 32GB Sandisk class 10 card died. Couldn't get it to work in any device except Linux based Media player. Luckily managed to copy my nadroid backup and TB backup. Sent to Sandisk and they replaced it. There is already a thread about S3 damaging teh SD cards. May be the loose connection is what's causing the card to to end up dead.

Yeah,as mentioned I have seen a lot of issues about sd cards, this is the first issue I have had and thought it would be worth mentioning. There is little space when the case is together so it could easily still make contact and seem fine even if the connector has worked loose and cause all kinds of issues. As mentioned mine had the sd icon popping up every now and then before it actually failed. Some users seem to be going through a lot of sd cards with them failing on a regular bassis.
I've been using my 32gb card since my last phone which was the LG Optimus 3D it is a scandisk class 10 one. Anyway i took it out of the 3D and stuck it into my S3 i still have not had a problem. I did take it out a few times to put a rom in because i wiped my phone and didn't have a rom in the Sd card. Also i dropped my phone and replaced the whole front silver bumper bit the whole digitizer because i dropped my phone while playing basketball. It still works. It has been a year now it has been in two phones and still works great. I must be lucky..
I got mugged for the SD though i bought it last year for £60 from Argos a store in the UK. Now you can get them for half the price oh well.. I am waiting for the 128gb ones to come out so going to buy one lol..
today also my Sandisk Ultra HC I 32GB it's died, tomorrow I'll test with pc but no sign of life :crying: WTF samsung !!!
hey i have the same issue with an 32gb sd card, it was workking great and then i was getting the error about
"SD Card Unexpectedly Removed" and then i tried everything i could and my computer detect the sd card and it seems to be working normal but in my phone i have the error over and over again and it was draining my battery too, and the only thing i did was change to another 16gb sd card and this one is working.
maybe there is a problem with the 32gb sd cards
I have a 16GB Sandisk UHS-1 card and i have been getting this issue as well, and its becoming more and more frequent. Whenver it happens, the ringtones/notifications for certain apps like Gmail and Message get reset as the ringtones i set were stored in the sdcard. Also the photo frame app i have on my homescreen often resets to nothing as the pictures were also stored in the sdcard. Its really annoying because I can leave my phone sleeping, only to wake it up realizing my ringtones are all set to silent and my photo frame has been reset. At least i know its a common problem. damn you samsung!
Has anyone actually tried checking the connection on the ribbon as suggested? Mine has been fine since and works fine.

There is no way anyone would know you have opened it, the screws are all Philips instead of t6. As long as you use the correct screwdriver it won't damage the heads and will leave no sign of entery and it takes around 10 mins to complete. Or you could take it to Samsung to do but seems a lot of hassle for such a simple fix.
Also most people are rooted without concern of the warranty.
So there's no seals or stickers that are broken?

Nope, no sticker or seals and just so you know all screws to remove the back are identical, there are only two screws inside which are different but do not need removing for this. You only need a Philips screwdriver ( I used a ph00 x 40) as long as the screwdriver fits the screw well it will not damage the head. Once screws are out a flat head screwdriver or similar are helpfull to prise the back off.
Hi Guys,
A little feedback from my experience with this.
I too was experiencing the "Unexpectedly Removed" error on my 32GB Class10 Sandisk.
It was playing havok with my setup because I use a 8GB Ext4 Partition on the card, where I move 90% of my apps. (About 6GB of that is used by games + their "external" data), and it keeps my phone and FAT32 partition free for important stuff. (I use Link2SD and DirectoryBind)
The problem is, after the device wakes, Link2SD can't find any of the apps, so I can't start any of them, and I have to do a full reboot to get them back. :/
So, after searching and searching, I couldnt find a valid solution.
I tried with a 16GB class10 Samsung, and a 32GB Class10 Samsung card. Exact same setup. NO ISSUES.
Everything works perfectly.
Then I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933743&page=2
Where most of them are experiencing this error with Sandisk cards.
Apparently, it's a known issue with Sandisk Cards (especially the 32GB models), and cards sold after December 2012 no longer experience this.
I have contacted Amazon.co.uk about replacing the card as it's only 2 months old, still waiting for their answer. Will update if anyones interested.
cheers

A curious question if I may.
Was this a SanDisk Ultra (UHS) card? Most (if not all) Android phones do not have a proper UHS-I driver today and, although the card is supposed to switch down automatically, that transition time can fool the OS sometimes.

Hmmm. Ok, might be getting somewhere.
Any idea if these cards have an internal "power saving" system that maybe kicks in if voltage drops below a certain level?

Yes, the red and Grey SanDisk cards are UHS.
Yes, they definitely have controllers and the host device can command them (if it knows how). I know that they allow In System Programming (ISP) for updating firmware. They support auto-standby, power-off and sleep modes but am not certain if the card would switch without command. Check the SD link in my signature if you really need more info.

I tested my SanDisk 64GB Ultra card in a Note 2 and it had the same symptoms (Mine were worse, with the card locking up while playing music after a few minutes, causing mmc timeout errors in the kernel).
I switched to a Samsung 64GB Pro card and since then I haven't had any issue. It's also twice as fast.
The amount of headaches this SanDisk card gave me is insane, probably the last time I buy a card from them.
i have sandisk ultra class 10 32gb. try this setup. use minitool to reformat your card then set it the cluster size to 16kb.
for me so far so good. will test this in a couple of days.
Ok, after buying a cheap and corrupted 64gb micro sd card, I went and spent the money on a 64gb sandisk card. It works just fine. Now, I am rooted and have synergy rom build 104 which is also running fine. I noticed before I flashed the rom that cwm wouldn't recognize my external sd card. I read up on that and found that cwm won't read cards formatted to exfat. So, I formatted the card to fat32 and remounted, transferred all my music back onto the card. Everything worked just fine until I plugged my phone into my computer. I was able to open and navigate through the files like normal, except when I went to open the music folder where all my mp3s were. I tried this on 2 different computers and on both the computer froze with the sand timer. The phone itself was fine, my music player(poweramp) was and is able to play the files with no issue. Also, when I unmounted the card and put it into a card reader and then connected the card reader to my computer and voila! Everything was fine, I was able to open the music folder and scan through the music files. I am not sure what the issue is. Can anyone shed some light as to whether this is a phone/rom issue, a micro sd card issue, an mp3 issue? Any ideas would be appreciated.
That sounds like a bad sd card. Have you ran a checkdisk on it?

Hm, been searching around for this exact issue. Coworkers S4 with this exact SD card has been getting the removed unexpectedly error. Reformatted a few times, restarted phone, error comes back. It's in my Note 2 at the moment for troubleshooting, and so far so good, but this makes me move more toward an actual SD card issue in combination with the s4, and not the phone itself.

I called them and they are going to exchange it out for me. The weird thing is that I didn't get any damaged card error messages on the phone itself. It mounted it as soon as I popped it in. Even after formatting to fat32, it mounted right away with no issues. It only happened a couple days after I transferred all my music onto it. Is the free replacement they give you a newer card or newer model number?
+1 to the above. SanDisk told me they have a new version of the 64gig card with updated firmware, specifically for the S4. Package tracking shows mine is to be delivered on Monday.

They told me that too. My guess is it's due to the mass recall of the chips for the S3/S4. They said it's not present in Tablets so my 64GB in my tablet would be fine.
+1 problem with Sandisk 64Gb UH-1 card. Unexpected removal error. I am writing just for statistics. Just got my new Verizon S4 - and have problems...
FYI - I'm having a similar issue with a Samsung 64GD card. Got it to see the music for a while yesterday but after a reboot it can no longer see it.
Update, I received my new card and just popped it in. My phone automatically formatted it to exFAT. I'm not going to try changing it to FAT32, but is there any version or way I can get cwm to recognize the card in exFAT format? I tried TWRP, but when I flashed a rom it soft bricked the phone so I would like to stick with cwm.
So I am having a problem where my Sandisk 32GB MicroSD card is getting dismounted from the phone. It gives me an error message like "SD card has been removed. Please use the Safely Eject SD card option to prevent data loss" or something like that. Then, it finds the card and runs the media scan, which renders my card useless for that time period. The screen also turns on for a minute or so during this time. Then it stays mounted for maybe up until 5 minutes before starting over again.
This absolutely rapes my battery, taking it from a full charge to dead battery in less than two hours. I thought maybe the SD card was going bad even though it's fairly new, so I took it out and tried it on my old Motorola smartphone, and it works fine and never dismounts. So I thought perhaps it's something with my phone, so I tried an older 8GB micro SD, and it works fine without dismounting at all.
Some info. Phone is running stock 4.0.4 with root and unlocked bootloader. The 32GB SD card worked fine for maybe 3 months until this problem suddenly started. Any ideas?

I thought maybe the SD card was going bad even though it's fairly new, so I took it out and tried it on my old Motorola smartphone, and it works fine and never dismounts. So I thought perhaps it's something with my phone, so I tried an older 8GB micro SD, and it works fine without dismounting at all.
Some info. Phone is running stock 4.0.4 with root and unlocked bootloader. The 32GB SD card worked fine for maybe 3 months until this problem suddenly started. Any ideas?

It's behaving like mine did when the SD card croaked. 32GB SanDisk here as well...first SD card I've ever had die on me. I was able to get it to read, one time, on my TF101 to rescue my photos...now it won't read anywhere. I'm not sure what to tell you, except that I'd back that card up pronto, just in case...

Yeah, it was a somewhat common issue for a few of us about 4 months ago. I know blenkows and I both had it happening a lot. For me it eventually went away, not sure what the deal was, there.

This
My SD card wouldn't stop doing it. I just gave with it. Uploaded all my music to Google Play, put the 16 GB card that the phone came with in there. All is well now. Haven't had a problem with the card in there yet but I rarely use it now anyways. Basically just there for backups

Your card is defective.

Well thanks for the responses, I already backed up the data that was on there. I can't find my receipt for it...any idea if Sandisk is good about replaced defective cards?
I went through four RMA replacement 64gb class 10 SanDisk cards, ate the $90 loss and spent $80 on the Samsung equivalent. It's faster and I have had zero problems with it. However, I used SanDisk cards for nearly a decade before those without any problems.
The SanDisk hi capacity cards seem to not work well in the lgog. They worked fine in my card readers, just not the lgog slot.

I also had this problem with a 32gb sandisk. I RMA'd it and it happens less frequently for the new one. I'd say it happens once every few weeks now instead.
It's your card. I haven't experienced this at all n I'm using a no name class 10 32gb card. I was looking scandisk card but luckily I read the reviews n they where all negative
