This seems to be a fairly common problem on Android phones having searched XDA but it's a problem that has only just started happening on my SGS3 (whilst on holiday - fml).
I was listening to music on the beach (through Poweramp) and took some photos. The music stopped and when I went back into the player no files were found. Then the message appeared at the top saying either no memory card inserted, blank memory card or SD card removed unexpectedly. It's a 32 gb
I immediately swore a lot and then tried the usual routines of rebooting, reinserting, reflashing and reswearing but no joy. This was all on Omega 27.1 btw.
So, I flash a new ROM - Omega 13.1 (old faithful). Nothing.
I flash Supernexus 3. Nothing.
I swear. A lot. Nothing.
I go back to 13.1. Something...
It finds the card but it is still an intermittent problem - especially when using the headphone controls for some reason? I've since tried another smaller SD card and the problem seems to disappear so it must be a corrupt card that I need to reformat to FAT32 once I get home.
Has anybody else got any other ideas or had the same issue?

Well, my SD card just started having this problem today.
Since all my pics and backups are uploaded to Dropbox, I asked the S3 to format it, but it does not solve the problem.
My PC can read the card perfectly.
Any thoughts?
Had the same issue with my S3.
Turned out that the SD card was dying, this caused it to be unmounted by itself and then mounted again (sometimes showing notification “sd card removed unexpectedly”), hence triggering the media scanning process.
I created an application to monitor how many times the SD card was removed, and turned out to be unmounted every ~3 mins!!!
I then bought a new Transcend 32GB Class 10 card (made in Korea), and until now, this never happens, no reports from the application whatsoever, and no media process eating my battery.
I just published this app in the play store now, this is the link:

i know this might sound like a stupid question but how to i move my movie which work on my itouch to my sgs i tries using kies and ofc it doesn't pick up my phone conents and i also tried draging and droping the movie on my new brand new formatted 16gb sd card with nothing on it expect a note pad document called "devicefriendlyname" on but a message keeps poping up or it keeps frezzing and (im connect the phone i use mass storeage) and it doesn't WORK GRRRRRR does anyone know what i should do!? thanks in advance cause i just got the phone last week and loving eveything abit it except the lag and this! but what makes it worst is that when i put the sd card into my old g1 and reformat it on the it and put the same movie on it WORKS!!! is there something w rong with my sgs?
I would either use the phone and connect it to the PC and Mount the USB storage and drag it to the sd card or use a card reader on my pc with the sdcard and drag it onto the card.
I couldn't quite understand what you were saying when you explained what you tried already, so sorry if you did try this already.
Those are the simplest ways to transfer, no need to use kies or anything else. Just make sure the movie is in a format the video application you are using supports.
Hello guys
I have SE NEO 2 months, and I am problem, when I plug phone with usb cabel to pc and then unplug him, sometimes (like every 4 connection) happens that icons are sorted differently and some icons on phone desktop are deleted (not in menu). ITs really flustrating to sort them back.
Any idea?

App2sd causes this problem.

I suspect you're right, but why would anyone add APPS2SD when it is built in?
Possibly a rhetorical question.
It happens with the built in function as well since it's the same as apps2SD. I'm not sure exactly what happens but I assume the SD card is somehow treated differently when connected the PC though it's not completely unmounted like it is in Mass Storage Mode.
The items vanish from your Home Screen because by connecting your phone to the PC the phone lose it's connection to them. This is why you should never move widgets or apps for which you create a shortcut on your Home Screen to your SD card.

Any apps on the SD card become "unavailable" if the USB Storage mode is active as the SD card is unmounted. If no apps have been installed or moved to the SD card, this doesn't happen. Unfortunately, the apps reaarange themselves sometimes when the SD card remounts. Although this seems not to happen on FW .62. That I've noticed that is!
ok guys thanks for answers,
So if I am right problem is that I have App2sd which I have...
So how can I fix that? uninstall this app will help?
Or its just the problem with apps which I moved with App2sd from internal memory to sd card?
If problem is in apps which I moved to SD card, I can send them back, but there is no space on internal memory, its only few MB on it. How do you guys do this?

This is built-in anyway and solving your problem.
CONNECT/DISCONNECT your phone normal..etc...unmount..eject. Then android itself fixes those problem.

No and thats the problem, I unplug phone from the USB cabel, waiting 30 sec for SD, and some icons from theme are still deleted and icons are sorted badly.
My android dont fix it back.
Move everything that has either a widget or a shortcut on your homescreen back to your phone memory.
oh wow, it looks like works, pretty ****y I must say...
So there is no way I can have many shortcuts on my theme, because phone memory is really small
Thank you anyway for help!
I have a Galaxy 7' Tab that is rooted and running Team Overcome 4.1.0
It has 16GB onboard and I have 64GB card in there. There seems to be a peculiar issue where I will reload the Team Overcome Rom. When it is done everything is good. At this point I wind up loading all my apps and then eventually move the ones I can to the SD Card using Apps2SDPro.
It seems over a very short period of time maybe a day or so and the Tab will start to cyclically start to reboot itself. I can get the tab to come up, get in fine and then after a couple minutes it reboots again.
If I take the external SD out it seems to be fine.
The only other thing I noticed is sometimes in X-plore I will see the same 13GB on board memory listed twice in X-plore.
What I am asking for is either a possible solution or a good way to troubleshoot and isolate the issue occuring.
Any assistance is appreciated

Hi. I've had my Optimus G with a 32GB micro SD for a while now. I've never had a problem with it, and I upgraded to a 64GB micro SD card yesterday. I wanted more room for Spotify music, hence the upgrade.
My problem is when I connect the phone to my laptop (Windows 7) I put the phone in media sync mode and open it up by going to my computer > LG Optimus G > Micro SD. When I look at the micro SD in Windows it shows a file(?) that says "Local Disk", it's a grey and blue drive with a windows logo over it. Whenever I try to transfer my photos to the card it says "The files cannot be transferred, the device has either been disconnected or has stopped responding.
Any help?
I'm also using Nova Launcher Prime if that may have anything to do with it.

I used this

to format the card as fat32, which solved all my problems.

Thanks, but the card had been formatted. I ended up talking to an LG rep over my laptop to resolve it. My camera wouldn't launch, and I couldn't open my settings. I ended up doing a factory reset and everything is working now.

Yeah. I just got home a few days ago with the card and it seemed that my phone got an attitude. No camera, settings, Google+, Facebook, etc. Pretty much all of my apps would not launch.
Hello, i am constantly ( I mean like 20-30 times a day ) experiencing following issues with my Galaxy Light:
1) SD card removes itself , so i can not access anything on it, or even take a picture because it is supposed to be saved on SD card.
2) Phone just suddenly ( in the middle of the call- internet browsing- etc) reboot itself
Any help will be appreciated
