I'm on vacation now and something weird began happening once I landed. I plugged in my phone to the rental car's cigarette lighter but it refused to get any service after repeated reboots. The phone would also lock up and reboot, claiming the battery was fully exhausted. Phone worked just fine up until then (on latest JB OTA).
Eventually it would start up and felt pretty stable, but the battery level had to come up to about 10% for this.
Yet ever since, I can't mount the SD card. Clicking "mount" in the menu causes it to hang and suddenly reboot. Every once in a while it will say "damaged SD card". Plugging the phone into my laptop doesn't let me see the SD card either...and it has started to drop all signal, hang, then reboot again.
Tried all the following to fix it without success: cleared Dalvik, cleared cache, unfroze all apps, temp unroot & re-rooted, use phone as USB mass storage. I can't see the SD card in recovery, either.
Sadly I am out of warranty by almost 5 months so I'm not sure what to do. My last resort will be to hard reset but I'd rather not do that. Thoughts on what's wrong?

Reformat the sdcard
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
I can't format it since the phone just hangs whenever it tries to read it. I suspect the card is just dead, but I don't get why it causes the phone to go nuts and freeze/lose signal.
make a backup of your sd card data and then format using pc and card reader

I looked at the similar threads and none them had to do with my phone. I think it has to do with the sd card as I have unmounted it and it doesn't seem to restart. Today it was restarting about ever 10 minutes. I looked at the log cat and it has no terrible faliures just a bunch of errors which seem to keep occuring but not restarting my phone afterwords. Some of these errors are parsing error in audiofilter.csv, write int failed to open sys class leds red brightness, console unable to post message :0 and a few other random errors. But the audio one and the console messages appear way more often. The sys class leds appeared only once. Is there something I can do to fix this? I just had the phone flashed with the ICS 2.3.7 Rom and everything seemed fine til today.
1) what phone are u using?
2) which kernel are u using?
3) which rom are u using?
4) did you install any new apps/scripts prior to the problem?
1. LG Optimus V
2. 2.6.32.9-v3.3 [email protected]# 1
3. ICSandwich2.3.7 - Final Edition [November 29, 2011]
4. Micdroid, 4shared, micdroid, rootexplorer, and updates for superuser.
Those are the only things I have installed when flashing this rom like the night before yesterday. Also the kernel is the one that the rom came with it seems like all roms I have used so far have this kernel I would really like a different kernel if possible. Other than that I really think it has to do with the sdcard. I have it unmounted and ever since then it has stopped restarting the phone. I have had this same problem with all roms no matter which one I use even when I first got the phone and didn't touch anything on it. The phone randomly restarts when the sdcard is mounted and when trying to play games that are on the sdcard the phone freezes. Is there anything I can do to fix this issue because I don't have a bunch of space on the phone itself to store games so they work and I can't keep the sdcard mounted as it will restart the phone there must be something that can fix this sdcard issue.
Are you using any ext partitions? seems to me as though the sd card is faulty, have you tried with another sd card? does the problem persist when the sd card is NOT mounted?
how about u try reformatting your sd card, after backing up the contents, then remount it.
"I think it has to do with the sd card as I have unmounted it and it doesn't seem to restart." First post. "Other than that I really think it has to do with the sdcard. I have it unmounted and ever since then it has stopped restarting the phone." Second post. So yes I have unmounted the sd card and the problem no longer presists. Just one thing that does happen even with the sd card unmounted which would be the web stops working. I have to turn off the mobile data for a second or so then turn it back on then it starts to work again. But this doesn't seem to happen too often. I will get back to you tomorrow on the reformatting the card as it is a little late and I am going to be going to bed soon.
Well it would seem like formatting the card didn't do anything for it and I have tried different ones they are all identical cards though. Also I have the issue of the phone shutting down entirely with no notice or anything. Like I could have it on to charge and later I go to it and find that it is off completely even though it is on the charger. I could have it where I can see it on the charger and keep an eye on it but it shows no sign of turning the screen on and telling me of it going to shut off. So is it that the phone gets overheated and shuts off with no notice or what?
This **** used to happen to me when I had go launcher... no root... no custom ROM, nothing, go launcher made me do my 1st factory reset... I woke up every night when it kept doing the boot sound... then I got bootloops... after 1 month, thought I give GO launcher another try... this time I had it rooted... so I just flashed cm7, did a full wipe, and now I am happy with it...

Well this rom doesn't have go launcher it has ics theme with magic locker which I think might be causing some issues.
I had the same problems with my Optimus One and 2.2, but I could stop it by not turning wifi off.
I know, it sounds completely unrelated and I didn't even want to try it at first but it stopped my phone from rebooting randomly. My device did "only" reboot once or twice a day, though.
Then it may not be the wifi either. It has to be something. I haven't had this many issues since I got the phone. I guess I will be flashing to a rom that hasn't given me little to no issues.
I have decided to reformat my phone with a different rom. Now I have BACKside-IHO-VM670-12072011 ([ROM+Kernel] Inferior Human Organs unofficial CM7.1) it has only restarted on me once within 2 days but the main problem is that even though I have wiped the battery stats and the battery is at 100% while on the charger and I am using it after 3 hours it seems to shut off like it is dead when I leave it for a minute. It just has a black screen and it won't power up. I have to remove the battery and put it back in and then it comes on and boots up and says it is still at 100%.
Hi. So my phone will sometimes freeze up in operation and then reboot indefinitely. Previously it would eventually load normally. However, when I use the app Switch Me and set up a new profile, it doesn't have the reboot problems. So I think it must be an app, or the internal SD card must be malfunctioning.
What I've tried:
-copied everything off the internal SD, reformatted, and copied everything back.
-factory reset, phone worked normally; rooted, worked normally; restored apps in sets of four using TB, rebooting twice after each, worked normally; could not detect a problematic app
-used others' suggestions of disabling wireless and GPS, so they weren't active during boot, did not work
-did not use TB to force move apps to the SD after doing so previously, thought it worked, but was temporary
It's very frustrating. The blinking light that indicates no service will usually be on during the boot loop. The homescreen battery and weather widgets will say "Loading..." indefinitely. Sometimes the battery will show incorrect percentages during bootup. Sometimes it'll just freeze on the USCC boot animation. Twice, I just left it in that case and let the battery completely discharge. Once, the phone started normally the first try; the other, it still remained in the boot loop.
My phone will be replaced anyway in the next week or so, since my screen is cracked. So I can probably wait to see of the next one will have the same problems, if it turns out to be the internal SD. I can't think of any other culprit. Thanks for any help.

I would RSD back to stock, factory reset after (using stock recovery), and then re-root the phone and install apps one by one...don't restore using Ti.
I left a friends, pulled my phone out (non rooted and only 3 days old) and it wouldn't turn on. I pressed and pressed but nothing I did would get the phone to activate, no lock screen... Nuthin!
I pulled the battery and tried again, it booted up, twice and then the lock screen was back. When I unlocked it I went to look at my apps and noticed quite a few were listed as com.blahblahblah.android.... whatever, with no icons...
Then I went to the app drawer and looked for those apps and (see image) that's what they looked like.... When I tried to press them I got a "this app is not installed" message.... WTF?
Anyone else ever get this?
I'm going to try a factory reset and see if it happens again.
are you talking about the greyed out ones? there on ur sd card, unmount and remount ur sd card, doesnt seem to be loading correctly. sometimes i have issues where 1 rogue app doesnt load, never had it where all of them did unless it wasnt mounted
I noticed that when I plugged into my pc that my internal storage didn't show up, only the sd card.... Strange.....
windows tends to pop up a window asking if you want "fix" or error check your sd card. if you accidentally chose it, you may have to reformat it and reinstall your apps.
I guess what was most disturbing was the phone becoming non-responsive. Just wondering if my sd card going to pot would do that? Or is my phone screwed up and wrecking my sd card or some other disconnect there?
Hi,
I keep having a re-occurring issue where upon checking the storage settings it just gets stuck on `calculating`, I've left it for 20+ minutes in the past and it still never finishes, the bar stays grey instead of showing the individual colours etc. it's been along time since I've used an ICS rom on my S3 but I don't recall ever having this issue on ICS but it's certainly been a problem since I've been on jellybean roms, for one it starts using up a lot of battery when it's stuck calculating and if I try and uninstall any software it gets stuck and never actually manages to uninstall! It's also not related to the sd card, I've tried unmounting the card and still it can't calculate the phones internal storage, I even removed the sd card and tested.
The only way I can fix this is to factory reset, whereby everything is ok for a while but this storage calculating issue always resurfaces! After a factory reset I do re-install all the same apps, but then if it was a certain app causing this then I would have thought the storage calculating problem would start straight away but like I say, everything works ok for a while.
I don't believe this is a hardware fault, perhaps some data of one of the apps I'm using is getting corrupted after some time and that's why everything works ok for a while after a factory reset.
Has anyone else had this issue and/or knows how to fix it without having to wipe data/factory reset every few weeks which is what I'm having to do at the moment.
Hello all,
I have a Moto Z Force Droid (XT1650-02). It's running on Android version 8.0.0, and build number OCLS27.76-69-6. It was acquired from Verizon. It is not rooted (sadly), and the bootloader is locked. It has 32GB of internal storage, however, I added an SDCard(64GB) to increase that storage space.
I'm having some problem(s) with my SDCard, or more so its usage as adopted storage. I've had the phone with the storage for quite a while and everything has been fine. However, 3-4 days ago was when the issues started. One night, my phone was acting really laggy. Which I just chalked up to tech being tech. I let it sit for a bit, tried rebooting it, etc. Well, as time progresses it seems to me that Facebook Messenger is what's slowing it down. So, I try uninstalling it. Of course, this isn't working and android just keeps giving me a helpful little notification that the app is uninstalling (for much longer than it *should* take). I figured I'd reboot into safe mode and try uninstalling it from there. The phone powers off and reboots fine. However, when I tried to unlock the screen, the entire phone froze and crashed after a minute or two. Once it reboots, it gets stuck in the bootloader (or, more specifically, where it says "DROID" and there are little shiny spots moving around the letters). So I used the power button to force the device off and try rebooting again. Again, boots up fine but it freezes at unlock and the cycle starts again.
Around 2 days ago I took it to a Verizon store. Originally I was just told I was going to have to factory reset (which I didn't want to because all the pictures I have and such would be lost. Apps are backed up by Google though). They told me to take out the SDCard, to help save what I could. Then, I got the bright idea to try booting without the card. This time the phone booted fine and unlocked like it should (the only problem now is that I had no internal storage and all the apps that were on the SDCard aren't loading since no SDCard).
When I leave the phone on and install the SDCard, I can browse the internal storage again. However, I can't see any of the files when I try transferring them to PC over USB. As well, after a while of using the phone, or even letting it idle, it will eventually crash and go back to the above botting and not-unlocking scenarios.
Based on how/when the problem started, and the logcats I've grabbed as the phone was crashing, I have reason to believe it has something to do with Facebook Messenger not being removed correctly. [Logcats in the comment below.]
Any help would be greatly appreciated. As well, please tell me if there's anything that needs clarification. (Sorry for the wall of text. I just don't know what else to do at the moment.)

So. Bit of an update.
Turns out it's not actually just getting locked in the bootloader. It seems it's been doing a soft reboot.
I've been running "adb logcat" whilst trying different things, until the phone crashes. That's how I got the previous logcats. However, upon "rebooting" the adb logcat continues to run. I can provide a logcat for those, should anybod want it.
