Hello
I keep getting this error on my phone after trying to wake it up from stand by "micro sd card removed unexpectedly"
I tried formatting it, and still same problem. I made sure that it's in it's place perfectly, same problem.
I'm not using a cheap sd card, its a SANDISK ULTRA HC card, 32 gig!
Is anyone else having this problem?
Thanks
No, but I had this problem on a past phone. Mine required replacement. ..the SD card.

Ya I had that same issue with that same card with my galaxy s3. I replaced the card with one specifically designed for Smart phones and the problem went away

I think it may be a card issue as if I remember correctly in some of the threads in the ATT S4 General forum a lot of people have issues with the sandisk cards.

I think it has something to do with Samsung as I have that exact card and never had issues with it in an HTC my touch phone my stepdaughter was using at the time, however I did with my s3 and N2...

Hey guys my buddy gave me a 16gb micro sd from his droid x. I guess something happens with those things and corrupts the sd card. Anyways, I was wondering if you guys knew a way to fix sd cards so I could use it in my atrix. Thanks!

You can get a USB adaptor ($2 - $5) that turns any SD card into a thumb drive. Then just plug it into an available usb port in your computer and reformat the card. Should work unless there's actual physical damage to the card.
I've found that there's an added bonus in that it's faster to move stuff (photos, movies, etc) to & from the card when I have a full-size laptop screen, mouse and file manager to work with.
Awesome guys. I think ill try the usb method and if that doesn't work im guessing ill be going to Wolly world!
Thanks guys!

Hi, i know you didn't have any files on the sd card you needed but I thought I would mention this software for anyone who recently went through what I did. My girlfriend came to me upset that her card suddenly had no photos on it, so I googled corrupted sd card and it came up with some opensource software called testdisk/photorec. It found almost all the pictures and made me look good...

its called asda over here but steeling a new card isnt much of a fix now is it lol

Try to use disk tools to exam your SD card and format it?
This just started happening to me this evening. I randomly get this message. .. Sdcard empty, unmounted, or not present. Never experienced an error like this in the past. I'm running Beans 7, sdswap, perseus kernel with 5g profile. Does anyone have a clue to this problem?

Did you get it from Amazon? If so it probably is a bad card. I've seen quit a few people who got a bad batch from ordering on Amazon. Try what Wolf said, backup and format

Tried that. Several times. Been having similar problems with my sd card. Its a samsung 64gb class ten. I cant find any of my downloads. I am a noob but I think the sd swap does something to the card. Only causes a problem if you flash a new rom (or reflash same) that doesn't have swap.

Aren't you supposed to delete a few files when returning from a swap? Though I read that.

Well... After reformatting my scdard and also performing a fresh and clean install of my beans 7 rom, I'm still having the same problem once again.... I reformatted to extfat. Should I have went with fat?

I slow reformatted mine and the error came up again after a few hours. Decided to just buy a new one so hopefully the card was just crapping out and not the phone. If end up posting again it must be the phone. Hope you don't hear from me again in this thread lol
Im having the same exact issue as you. Its very annoying

Sandisk 64GB SDXC which happens to be Made in China is crap and confirmed by comments made by others on Amazon saying the same. Pay a little extra for Samsung 64GB SDXC and have the peace of mind.
Same issue for me and I bought my sdcard from Best Buy also...I am running Jelly Bean ROM B7. The card is only 2 months old so I doubt the card went bad, this has to be some app/process that is effecting the sdcard swap program. Very annoying and reboot of phone resolves issue but I have to reboot every hr, it is unreasonable. It only started happening to me since B7 which i installed about 7 days ago. I may trying going back to B6 which i was using with no issues for a while.
I'm just waiting for my Sandisk 64gb ultra cl10 to die bought it about 3 weeks ago so will see glad it has a 10year/lifetime warranty. Plenty of people are having same problems with these cards and not just in phones. Easy way to tell if its bad/going bad is to format it and stick it in another device see whats up... pretty sure if your card is not mounting or being seen it's going bad if it pops back up from time to time it's about to be dead.
Well I finally returned the sdcard at Best Buy which honors manufacturer warranties. Been a week on the new card, so far so good...

I have been running MeanBean for about a month now. I use the lockscreen wake lag when running his rom. For the ppl not familiar with this mod it keeps the phone from going into deep sleep. While running MeanBean I never encountered the problem of my ext sd remounting when I unlock my phone. About an hour ago I switched to bean build 12 that allows my phone to go into deepsleep. Now some of the time when I unlock my phone it remounts the ext sd card. I know Alot of ppl have been having issues with the SanDisk 32gb cards. I think by not allowing the phone to deepsleep the issue could be resolved. This is just my personal experience and not trying to step on any toes. What do yall think?

Your card is failing. It happens. Supposedly there is a problem with Sandisk cards & Samsung phones. It happened to me with 2 32gb class 10 Sandisk cards. Doesn't affect everyone, but if you google it, you will find several threads on it. https://www.google.com/search?q=gal...s=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

Is anyone else experiencing gallary issues on their S4? Mine freezes, causes screen blinking, and I cannot even access them without a third party viewer. I am using a Samsung 32GB microSd card (class 10) to store my pictures.
I can use the stock Samsung gallery with a 32GB class 10 card no problem. Backup and format the card to see if that could be your issue.
Didn't work. Tried that twice. Going to try a new card... So strange...

It's probably the SD card. My Note 2 ate 3 generic cards before I finally paid the extra and got a Sandisk. No issues now.
Has anyone ran into a issue with their sdcard and their Note2?
Last night I used my Note2 with no issues. Woke up this morning and noticed I had a alert message saying that the sdcard had been unexpectedly unmounted. Couldnt get the sdcard to remount. The phone wouldn't/couldnt reconize thw sdcard. And even my laptop couldn't reconize it. But the phone reconized a different sdcard, so I know the phone reader is still working. But this is a Lexar 64gb class 10 xc sdcard. Not some cheap trash. I lost my nandroid backups, movies, pics, etc....
Just glad I wasn't running the Jellybeans v18 on the sdcard swap selection. Then I wouldn't be able to use my phone period. Lmk if you have seen these sdcards go out before. Just beware!!!
Why wouldn't you be able to use it phone if card goes down

What he's referring to is JellyBeans additional "SD Swap" feature which basically makes your phone see your SD Card as the internal storage. I don't know why he thinks his phone wouldn't work though, as with any phone the Internal Storage/SD Card is not required for the device to operate.

I've ran into this issue with Lexar jump drives and had to use command prompt in W7 to make them work again. It always happened when I would write a Linux distro to the drive to use as a bootable disk.
The fix requires you completely wiping the drive, which the two jump drives in question that I always have issues with are actually micro SD card readers with whatever size card in them.
Here is the link explaining how to fix it:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/219693/unable-to-format-usb-stick-to-full-capacity/
What I have to do though is select the disk drive and once in it I have to use the Create Partition Primary command instead of selecting a partition because on my drives there are no partitions and it won't even show up under Computer most of the time. Give it a shot and see if it gets you back up and running, if not you may have a faulty card that Lexar needs to replace.

I was reading, some people are problems with the scandisk 64gig cards. The card might be dead from what I've read. But don't hold it against me, just passing some info. I haven't ran across this problem.

See I've never experienced any issues with either of my SanDisk 64 GB Class 10 and neither has anyone else I know that owns one. I wonder if they had a bad batch?
I haven't seen anything about other manufacturers 64GB Class 10 cards having issues yet but it is either something to do with Class 10 cards or a bad batch.

I just had a sandisk 32 gig class 10, and a 16 gig both go out on the same day. One in my wife's note 2, the other in my daughters tab2. Neither was recognised in windows completely. I reformatted both, but 16 gig will show blank card on the wife's phone until unmounted remounted. Both less than 6 months old, on the same day. I blame the solar flares, what else can I blame it on?

Are you using moon rom v3? Same thing happened to me. It kept saying it was un mounting and remounting. I rebooted my phone and gave a sim lock message. Thought I was screwed. I flashed beans and now im back to normal.

How do you go about doing this? I have no original paperwork or packaging, just a dead 32GB Sandisk card.
call 1-866-SANDISK (726-3475) and tell them about your problems they will ask for the numbers off the card. They make you send your to them first then when they recieve it they'll send you a new one.
