Hello,
I'm a new owner of a phone with android, since a month ago. The problem with my phone is that some time ago it started rebooting about 2 times per day (in some cases rebooting even I'm not touching it)
I tried removing almost all applications and didn't work (the first app was task killer since I read that's not needed).
One thing that may be helping the phone rebooting itself is that some times I see this notification: "SD card removed unexpectedly".
I have a 8gb class 2 card. But I tried with a 4gb class 4 card and same message appear. I tried formating both cards and didn't work.
Anyone can please help?
Best regards,
Pedro
and my P500 do a restart the card SD (2GB, which was from the market) and probably due to the firmware of the LG (it has a .10 b) so I expect the update from LG that fixes the problem

thousands of us are facing this problem. LG are idiots to have released the phone with such a glaring defect.
But also thousands of us doesn't have any problems with this. It's really strange and you can not say, that LG is idiots - maybe everything works before on testing. Maybe some factory failed in collecting, maybe some wrong series of components... maybe.... who knows.
One think is true - they should face up to problems and not do, that nothing happened.
So the only thing that I can do, is wait for an software update from LG? (perhaps android 2.3 resolve it?)

I doubt whether this is related to software, since other phones don't face this issue. The phone has crashed several times at the end of a call, and I couldn't even press the disconnect button. When the phone doesn't even be stable and do the basic phone features properly, nothing else matters.
I also had this problem.
SanDisk 8GB cl2: reboot 2-3 times daily. Best 1% / hour battery.
SanDisk 2GB cl2: remount frequently. 1% / hour battery.
Original card that came 2GB(Samsung?):NO reboot,NO remount, 2% / 8 hours (night) battery!!!
My sd card didn't remove but the device some times start a reboot, and after a few seconds it enter on the phone (after the text ANDROID when i can see the desktop), when the phone signs he's mounting the sd, the phone goes on reset again and do this for several times, and i can't acess to the device. Some times he works normally.
I tryied to start the device without the sd but when he resets he still reset even without sd, so i don't think this isn't a sd question.
Some one else have this problem?
I update to the v10b by lg suite yesterday. I dont have the random reboot problem anymore for the last 24 hr. and I play pocket legend and like ever 2 hours the phone must reboot with the v10a. Now I am very happy with the v10b. no reboot for the game playing but i felt the graphic is little bit slower than v10a. and I am also factory reset my phone after update. So I can tell is it because the firmware or some software on the card or the root causing the reboot. But I am sure I am a happy pocket legends player. I am also using my old nokia 8g class 4 sd card with the original sd back up.
After I update to v10n, I've been runing android whitout rebooting and unmounting for about 125 hours (and growing).
I can say the software solved the problem because im using same card and I didn't factory either the phone or card.
My software version is already v10b by default but I'm still experiencing this "sd card removed" problem plus my phone also reboots it self rarely...
I've read threads about this problem and they recommend updating the software to v10e...
I contacted LG about this: It seems that the reboot bug is SIM-card related. Here in germany, Eplus (and their retailers) SIM-cards seem to be affected.
hi after updating to 2.2.1 v10n i dont have sd card error and reboots that often but sometimes i cant see the apps installed on the sd card. has anyone noticed this too? after remounting the sd card i can again see the apps and can access them but it keeps on appearing and its quite annoying! plz help!
i have both problems rebooting sd card and disappearing apps
i also have v10n

Based on my experience, I'd say the reboot is triggered by the unexpected sd card removal after moving apps to the sd card. Until I've seen some working prove, I'd assume the idea with SIM-cards is just another theory.

I have the phone from late october and experimented a lot with this problem.
In my case it only happen if I move some apps on the sdcard, if I don't move any apps on the sd card, no reboot happens. Also it seem more frequent when data connection is not "stable".
Some user reported they were able to turn around the problem keeping wifi on all the time, but it is a solution I like
In the last couple of months I used the phone with all the apps on phone memory and never had the problem again...
I got this phone a week ago and it's been rebooting ever since.. I even updated to v10f and now it says something about the SD Card after reboot and the SD card wont work after that.. so I have to reboot manually for the SD card to become active again... this phone is nothing but headache... but I'm still happy with it..
Do custom ROM's also reboot randomly?
you need atleast a class 4 sd card, im using class 4 16 gb sandisk. Absolutely no problems at all.

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"
Hi everyone!
Turns out that some years ago I flashed CM 7.2 ROM to my Dell Venue, then I gave it to my sister.
She went out one time with the phone and someone spilled his drink on the phone.
Since then it seems like the SD Card reader broke, cause I've tried different SD cards and the phone didn't recognize any of them.
The problem is that I can't do virtualy anything with the phone now, cause when I open the camera it says "Insert an SD card before using the camera", I can't even get an audio message or an image in whatsapp cause it asks for the SD card. I also wanted to flash the stock ROM but without an SD card I don't know how.
Is there a workaround for the device to use the internal storage? I know it's just 500MB but something is better than nothing. I know that the development for the Dell Venue is pretty much zero at this time, but maybe this is something that happens on other phones too. Thanks in advance
So here is the process I went through that made me unable to read my SD Card
Before anything happened, I had CM13 on my Redmi Note 3 phone until 2 days ago, (my sd card was still fine) upon updating to CM14 (from Android 6 to 7.1) my google play kept crashing, so I read that I needed the 7.1 GAPPS version (which i forgot to do) so... I downloaded the PICO version of android 7.1 package and flashed it on my phone... than not only did google play error, but calendar and a bunch others....
so what I decided to do, is revert to the backup I made RIGHT BEFORE i updated anything (like any normal person would do) BUT I saw my SD card wouldnt be found in TWRP, so I went inside my phone to see if my phone recognizes my SD card... and nope, its also not in my file manager, so I went back into twrp and a couple menu's that allow you to select a stroage showed my SD card as 0mb.... weird.... so I took out my SD card from "Broken Phone #1" and put it into "OLD Phone #2" and my files on the SD card are there... alright, made a backup of my SD Card to my computer and formatted the SD card on "OLD Phone #2"... and nothing.
Still not showing on "Broken Phone #1".
I'd like to note that I cant mount the SD card in twrp... i think it doesnt recognize it at all.
So what makes me think theres no issue with my phone's pins, is that I hadnt even REMOVED the tray before the problem started to appear.
Currently my phone is OS' less since i tried reverting to my "stock" CM13 (not 14) and that didnt work so i wiped system cache and data.
I can put in an OS again if it will help to fix the issue, but thats where im currently at, I would love some help from anyone with any suggestions.
Thank you for your time.
