Most of the time my phone will not recognize my SD card. I've got the one that came with it(why does if have a Samsung card ?). It's not rooted and all I have installed is apps from the market.

Have you attempted to make a gold card? If so you might have gone wrong doing so

Nope,no gold card.I've literally done nothing to it.

A few people on this forum (including me) have had this problem. At least one person mentioned seeing it with a 16GB card, so it is probably not just a problem with the stock card. Popping the card out and back in should allow you to remount it from the settings.
I've noticed this has happened to me before after removing my phone from the charger. I wonder if it has something to do with the "Connect to PC" setting. Mine had been defaulting to "Disk drive", but since I have set it to "Charge only" I haven't seen the problem again.
I'm hoping this is just a software issue and not a hardware one.
I've had problems with mine as well but I found something that works for me. I use the "Safely Remove Hardware" on my pc, wait a few seconds and then re-mount. I almost never use that feature but it seems to help reset things for me.
I have seen this problem also on the stock card, Ive always used the "safely remove hardware" option when disconnecting it from the pc but yet it randomly disconnects itself from my phone. However i also do the disk drive setting when connecting it so i will have to try putting it to charge only
mine has always been set on charge only and it does it all the time. im gonna call att in a little while and have a talk with them about it. cause if its a hardware issue i want a different phone plain and simple. is everyone elses card a samsung 8g ?
Yes, mine is a samsung 8GB.
i did a little searching and it happens to the incredible as well regardless of the brand of card or size, sadly the forum i found it on never had a solution
Mine starting doing this before I left the ATT parking lot. At first I thought it may be having problems because of all the syncing the phone has to do during the first hour or so of being connected to your google account. A week later and it was still doing it once every two days or so. I took it back and they gave me a new phone and I haven't had an issue with it.
Some people are saying that it may not have been inserted correctly and to remove it using the spring mechanism and to re-insert it. this helped a few people from what ive read. that however hasnt worked for me, but may for others
ive taken mine out and cleaned it off jiggled it around and anything else you can think of. ive never had a phone with this prob. before. guess im gonna have to roll by the att store 2moro and get a new one.
just went to the shack and got mine replaced, the guy that handled it all said that the evo had the same problem and was fixed with an update so im hoping htc can get this fixed
i just wanted to make sure i wasnt the only one having this problem. guess ill stop by and get a new phone in the morning
Got my new phone and its working good for now

Hi, I was wondering if anyone who uses Tapatalk has tried to access a new forum site thru the app today? The forums I have already added work fine, but when I try to browse or search for new ones, I have been getting an error for the past 6 hours or so.... the error says "pad block corrupted".... anyone else experiencing this?
Yep. Having exactly the same issue. Only when trying to browse or search for new forums. Using Droid Incredible CM7.
Same here. I can't browse anything as i just setup as new my phone (iphone 4).
Looks like servers felt down.
I had this problem but it started working again. It looks like amazon aws was having some nasty issues earlier today which are still getting cleared up (messed up reddit.com, etc.) and tapatalk.com just happens to be using an amazon AWS IP so I suspect this was the cause.
Yeah, I woke up this morning and it's working again. Thanks for the replies everyone.
hey my wife just got this phone; it's a real good phone. it flies with opening and closing apps. there is one problem tho....it does random reboots for some reason. have any one else had this issue? i'm almost considering exchanging it for a new one, but it may have the same results. anyone else relate?
I got a couple randome reboots. I am using ADW launcher so im trying to blame that. Im just hoping that once these devices are rootable new software will make a big difference.
I'm running everything stock , no other launchers and I've had the same issues, not sure what's causing it though but people like steffan definitely aren't going to help with their unnecessary and rude posts. On the other hand I've sent a few bug reports related to this issue and hope that HTC addresses them if not once the bootloader is unlocked we should be able to address it then.

Hell no I won't help in this thread because this same exact thing is being discussed elsewhere and this new thread is starting from square one with absolutely nothing relevent or pertinent in finding a solution of dissecting the problem to its root cause, so no I won't help but continue to flame/bash/troll new threads like these...

Not to get in a flame war with you as that would be counter productive, but instead of posting 2 unnecessary posts now it would have been more helpful to have linked him to this thread you mention instead of treating him the way you did.

I agree there is absolutely no reason to react that way to the OP. If you don't like his thread then DON'T RESPOND TO HIM. It's really that simple. When people makes posts that I don't think they should have, I simply say nothing and let the thread die.
Now back on topic: OP I have not had a random reboot at all yet. Thus far my phones have been perfect from a stability standpoint (I've had 3 different ones so far). In case you're wondering, I had 3 different ones because I was offered better deals at different places.
Already 11 days since bought this babe..nope, no reboot problem so far. A little hot 40++C, but normal i think since its never reach 50C.
Really another threat?
Link please?

Same issue here I bought my HTC Sensation when it launch on the bell network July 5, 2011. The first one (and yes I said first one) kept randomly shutting down the day I got it keeps restarting and says and I quote " This phone has just recovered from an abnormal reset. Would you like to tell HTC about it? " Now this was happening like 3-4 times a day so I took the unit back and got a new one fresh out the box and...you know where I'm going with this...same issue so how can I fix this problem? Does anyone have any idea how to fix this or flash the unit?
I had that problem . some apps kill the system .
one of the apps i noticed that did this was Task Killers
My phone rebooted once when I was browsing the forums, but that's it. I hope it doesn't happen again.

Mine randomly reboots. Seems to happen mostly when I'm listening to music. Or maybe thats when I notice it.
I was thinking of sending it back but I wonder if my sd card had something to do with this issue. I did not reformat it when I took it out of my blackberry.
The very first day I got my sensation it rebooted itself twice, since that it never do it again, and I hope it will not.

I had this issue with my first phone, I called HTC and they just told me to return it for a new one and I did. No problems now.
Okay, so a few weeks back I rooted my Atrix. All went fine. After a while i started having some major issues. I couldn't get a lot of apps, because my devise was not supported on the markets. I started getting dead spots in my screen, and it just started just glitching out all the time. Also, some apps that I KNEW were supposed to be on the market I couldn't find on my phone.
Today I decided to factory reset. I backed up my contacts and photos to the sd card (for some reason it still deleted my photo's). I reset my phone. Now, I have a whole lot more problems.
Most of the dead spots are gone, I still have one, so that I will say is a non issue. I cannot update my phone. There is an update waiting for me to install, but when my phone goes to do it, it installs about 2/3rds of the way and then rolls back. No clue why, it just says the update cannot be installed.
Firefox and facebook (and others, these are just the ones I use the most) are non existent on the market place. I know they exist, but i cannot find them. I really am not sure why, but this is annoying. Apps are force closing all over the place.
I know there are other things wrong with it, I just can't think of anything else without bursting a vessel.
My phone has basically become useless. I am really tempted to see how many pieces I can get my lawnmower to turn it into. Any help at all will be very appreciated!
Oh, I have an ATT Atrix.
same thing happened to my sisters atrix

Hey so after a few days of the new update running OK I started having random reboots! I noticed on a few other sites people complaining about the same issue of reboots multiple times of the day! Just wanted to let everyone know a possible solution to the issue! I have went through multiple FDR's and did come to the conclusion that the random reboots for my phone were associated with a new update to the chrome browser and were easily fixed by uninstalling new update and telling it not to automatically update so hope this helps anyone who may be having the same issues!!!
Well so much for that after trying everything its back to rebooting again? I love my phone but seriously considering putting it against a wall!!!

Never had that issue with the new update. Try doing a factory reset or try the new fast boot files to start fresh. Not sure why chrome would be an issue.try the chrome beta version but I suspect chrome had nothing to do with the reboot just a bad initial update.

Fixed!! I hope!!!
Finally broke down done a fast boot to the new files all is working seems OK anyway know in a day or 2!!!

My Wife's phone is doing the Random Reboot thing since the 4.1.2 update as well. I did a Factory Reset on it and it still does the same thing.
I suspect an application is doing it? Because I put the phone in Safe Mode and it never rebooted while in Safe Mode.
But I have No Idea of how to tell which app is doing it, other than to uninstall a random app after every reboot to find out which one it is.
But I would like to try this fast boot option? I know how to get the phone into fastboot, but which files are you redoing? What exactly are your doing ?
Have the same problem. I have done:
SBF 4.1.2
FDR
WIPE
Even tried running a parallel rom with safestrap (bakatang)
The chrome thing did not work
Keeps freezing. Seems the problem is way worse when having the phone play some music.
I am just about unlocking the thing and SBFing back to 4.1.1 but not really interested into unlocking the bootloader. That would be the last choice for me.
If someone knows of some way to fix this, please help, this used to be a great phone...
No problem here with the sfr rom... used for over 1 month now and no problem and my system is always fast...

I've been running some tests for about a week now since I got my RAZR and the results are interesting... I've had lockups and reboots multiple times a day, most often while doing something involving sound i.e. listening to music or playing a game or video. I've tried stock and custom 4.1.2 ROMs and custom 4.2.2 ROMs and it persists so I'm inclined to say its either bad audio software or faulty audio chips. This is everything I've done:
1. turning off sounds (keeping phone on vibrate/silent) pretty much eliminates the random lockups/reboots I got from receiving multiple texts or calls at once. I noticed if I bombarded the phone and made it ring a lot it gave the same results as listening to music but if its just a text or email or call here and there during regular use it the phone works fine.
2. Listening to music, either streamed or local from phone/SD storage and through headphones or speaker, would cause skips and audio cutting out. After a few minutes of this the phone will lock up completely and reboot itself. Strangely enough it happened only rarely or not at all while streaming music via bluetooth to a stereo.
3. I don't think its anything kernel related or if it is its not causing visible errors or wake locks. My battery seems to be just fine through all this.
4. I have tried multiple music/video players, put my SD card with music in another phone and the music plays fine, stock ROMs with nothing disabled/removed still has the issue, custom ROMs debloated and modified also have the issue. I think I've just about covered every base I can as an end user to track down what's causing it but I'm open to suggestions.
I have a replacement scheduled so I will see if that fixes it, I have seen this problem reported quite a few times all over the interwebz but there are also a lot of people not having the issue either so idk. If there are any Devs or anyone skilled in android-fu that can read logcats I will be more than willing to get those for you. Sorry for the essay everyone lol
tl;dr Like others I have freezes and reboots from what seems to me to be an audio software/hardware problem, either built in or from the 4.1.2 update

I am almost sure is kernel related bc I did not have problems in the 4.1.1 sw.
If someone that has an unlocked bootloader could install 4.1.1 from an sbf and tell if the problems are gone, would be great!
here is the sbfs: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/vanquish/list.php

I am not doing that bc I do not use custom roms so dont want to unlock BL. If someone has, this could help much. It is different from using safestrap, because safestrap uses the same kernel, from what I read.

When I was at 4.1.1 phone was near perfect.
If you are unlocked, please do check. I am debating whether to unlock or not just bc of this. Today it has resetted at least a good 20 times or so.
Thanks for helping!!! Waiting for your results!!!!

one solution that has worked for me is silencing the phone or putting it on vibrate and I haven't had a freeze or reboot in almost 2 days... the problem seems to me to be related to audio/sound and not listening to music or watching videos along with silencing ringtones has put a stop to it which kind of confirms my suspicions... I will try and flash back when I can but it'll need a day or 2 of field testing to confirm if its a solution
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk 2
I can confirm that audio stuff just does worse to the phone. However, I have not had your luck when silencing. Keeps rebooting no matter what. Please let us know when you do.

looks like a negative on the SBF, tried to restore 4.1.1 and it failed halfway through the flash, now won't turn on... working on reviving it... I really need to replace this thing as its been nothing but a PITA since I got it
old school post from my Thunderbolt via Tapatalk
wow that sucks. I recall reading somewhere that you could actually downgrade your software version if you have an unlocked bootloader.what is the error you are getting? Tried using RAZR utility 1.1? Won't it turn on at all? Maybe a discharged battery? Hope we can solve it

got it revived with Mattlgroff's new 1.2 utility, was able to force it to fastboot mode... the problem seemed to be some kind of partition error, I tried redownloading the sbf files thinking it was a bad file and got the same error so idk what it is since I'm on stock unrooted 4.1.2. My bootloader is already irreversibly unlocked so that won't be a problem lol but I am a n00b to RSD Lite and Moto devices so I'll tinker with it more when I get some free time
edit: I did have a Maxx HD way back at launch for a month or so running stock 4.1.1 and it ran perfectly, so my idea is its kernel/codec/software related. Hopefully a custom ROM (or hell even stock) with Hashcodes Qcom kernel will fix the issue we're having

I talked with vzw service, the assistant said that 2% of the phones were having this issue, wich for this kind of technology is a pretty big number of phones. Suuggested to send it to Motorola but since its rooted its almost sure not to be replaced by them. What is strange is that not everyone is having this issue. I would be almost sure Motorola is going to release a fix for this, but would not count days. Getting kind of frustrated with this phone I used to like so much. Thinking of going the htc route bc this is getting unbearable.
Any news in this? Anyone tried a new ROM that could solve this? Or even a fix?
... or just everyone had another phone lying aroud...

My wife & I both have this phone and still are constantly being rebooted. This is even after the software update. I have been wiped, factory reset, and everything possible, but I've not called for a replacement yet. Normally I havea worse luck with those.
Wife used to love this phone, now she hates it and hates we changed from AT&T to Verizon since we have no backup Verizon phones. At least we could take the sim out and go to the iPhone that's floating around the house when the phone went to pot before. Makes me really hate suggesting that we go back to Moto phones since that's all that I've used on Verizon.
Wonder if big red will get the new HTC One....
Tried flashing the MR-4 sbf, but did not solve the issue.

If an sbf didn't solve it then it's a hardware problem.you guys are definitely in the minority with this reboot issue.go get a warranty replacement.this phone and moto in general are solid phones.
