sd card unmounted/removed unexpectedly! pls help - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi friends, i have an htc m8 for 5 months or so stock and non rooted , and Im using 64gb class 10 sandisk sd card. So after updating to lollipop i have been getting these errors frequently and i have to restart the handset to fix it temporarily. I had this issue on kitkat as well but happened only rarely like once a month or so.
These two things happened unfortunately,
1) i had dropped my phone on carpet from 2 feet after lollipop update. I wonder if the phone couldn't handle it! But restarting the phone resolves the issue temporarily so i dont recon its a hardware issue?
2) i removed the sd card without unmounting it from settings and immediately got the error and kept happening after that. would this have corrupted the lollipop os or the card. Although card works fine in another handset.
so i am confused what caused the issue. Is the connector loose or what is the problem. this is very annoying!
I have formated sd card, reset handset to factory settings and tried another sd card and still the same issue. sd card is detected on the pc. Happens with transcend sd card as well. Please advise i am confused. Is there a possibilty that a certain file in the lollipop OS may be corrupted or its just a bug in lollipop? And does the phone requires a reflash from
the service center?

LG P500 reboots and sd card

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.

[Problem] Occasional restart of the phone

Hi,
I am a n00b in regards to P500, but I used to have an LG GT540 which pretty much similar.
Anyway, I got my P500 yesterday and installed the V10B ROM with arabic support through KDZ. All went fine. I rooted with Z4Root and also all went fine. The probelm now is that the phone restarts every few hours without doing any thing. I mean sometimes when its in my pocket, others wen it is just laying there on the table.
Is that a hardware issue or a ROM issue?
Any help appreciated.
Jst rewipe and reflash and chk again
Got that fixed by changing the SD card. I had a class 4 8GB Kingston that seemed to cause this by the "SD card unexpectedly removed" error and causing the phone to freze and restart.
I changed it to a class 10 card and the problem stopped. 12 hours now without the restart or the "sd card unexpectedly removed" issue. I will test more and report here.
Class 4 sd cards unmount when the phone tries to write something to the card. There is no problem with reading data from the cards. I have the same problem but I can't buy a new card now and as long as I don't write anything to the card the phone will not restart. Thank goodness I dont have a 3g connection.

[Q] Is there any way to ignore the internal SD memory in Samsung GT-I9003?

Hi everyone,
First things first, sorry if this was covered somewhere else in the forums, I really didn't find this question anywhere so I "had" to post this.
I got my Samsung GT-I9003 4GB a month ago, and everything was working perfectly until 3 days ago. It starts showing an "Internal SD card unexpectedly removed" error whenever the phone goes standby, then it forces me to terminate processes one after another, and finally it shuts down. I hadn't done any kind of ROM flashing nor rooting the device until the problems arose, so I don't know where the problem comes from.
I've tried to re-flash froyo 2.2.1 in my device, but the problem keeps showing up.
I found in this forums this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088474) covering the possibility of swapping both internal memory and external SD. It works great, but I still had problems with the "external SD card" being "unexpectedly removed"...
It crossed my mind if it was possible to modify the vold.fstab file further to only detect the external SD card as the internal memory and ignore the internal memory, as if it wasn't even on the phone. I don't know if that's even possible (since I don't know much about file systems nor Android), but I'd appreciate your thoughts on the matter.
same issue

Was having the exact same problem with a further twist, the issue occured almost every half an hour at office and very rarely at home. Tried a factory reset and also GB update via Kies. Problem was still present, so have given it to samsung service and the service rep informed me that it was most likely a motherboard issue.
Recently one of my friends had the same issue. Samsung service center replaced the motheboard and the issue seems to be resolved.

No SD card is detected..

As the title says--my phone won't detect any SD card! I have 3 which I have tried. A 2gb, 4gb, and 16gb. With each of these, I've formatted them to every option available on my computer (exFAT, FAT32, NTFS), and still no SD card will show up on my phone. The cards do work on my computer. I can transfer data to and from every card.
I guess I should add that I did not try any sd cards in my phone before rooting and installing HyperdriveOTA custom rom, so I don't know if the ROM or rooting is part of the problem.
Any help is very much appreciated.. hope I don't have a faulty phone!

I am having trouble with this as well. Mine actually just unexpectedly unmounted. I reboot to it not being read. I used the phone to format it, si shouldn't be that.
I loaded it into my old DROID incredible and it read just fine. After moving it back it reads again for a few minutes before unmounting again.
It's the stock kernel in my current setup as well so I think the phone or card are messed up. More the phone, may return and wait for the HTC one announcement, and not have to worry about it.
It's a lexar 16gb which worked fine in my old phone and unmounted after a week with stable setup. The contact points are clean as can be as well.

Flashing stock got it back but still not confident what the problem was. Still thinking of trying to get a new unit. Others have not reported the problem enough for me to think it's a rom issue. Add in the delayed response I still think it's hardware related

SD Card issues

Hi!
I have an european honor7 (plk-l01) with b140. Today I've tried to add a SD card to the phone and it doesn't work.
I've tested this card in another phone and it just worked; after that, I've tried another working sd card in my phone and it doesn't work either.
Has any of you had similar issues? Could it be a software glitch due to b140 or is it more likely to be a hardware problem?
Thanks for the help!
I have no issues with sd card
<-- B121 & B140 both worked fine with 2 sdcards, one 16GB FAT32, the other 64GB EXFAT
Is it yourself who posted on the vmall forum? I'm having the same issue on the same firmware and same update version. Did you find a solution to this?
I have contacted vmall service to see what they say as well, I'm presuming it's a hardware issue and will have to go back. I've only had it a few days and was really happy with it up to now
Mine was working fine but then pop up messages that sim card is ejected and a restart is needed few times and since then the sim is working fine but the SD card isn't working and changing the ROM didn't help , I'm using the Chinese version
I have the same issue. I had sdcard in the phone for few weeks and yesterday i putted second sim card in and took the sdcard out and when i put the sdcard back again its not working anymore. But both simcard slots are working.
its seams hardware ?
A hardware specific issue .
