for the last couple days I have experienced three times of the same issue - my SD card was unexpectedly unmounted, while during normal operation
I have tried power-off and power-cycle, but my Inspire would not mount the SD card back. I was only able to recover by powering of the phone then physically re-inserting the card.
Has anybody experienced a similar issue? Thanks
I think this is a common issue with the stock sd card. It happens to me every now and then too. You could try an after market. I hear folks seem to have the best luck with san disk.
Mine did the same thing when I first got mine. I formatted it and moved to a custom rom. Haven't had it happen since. It's a 16 gb sandisc that I've had since my lg incite a couple of years ago.

it kept happening to me too so i just took my phone back and got a new one. havnt had one problem with the new unit at all. the guy at the store said he had replaced a few others for the same issue.
All I did was format the SD card and deleted any app2sd apps from the phone and its fine now. 2.2+ has app2sd stock so I think it causes conflicts if you install one from the market.

I was having this same issue with my Inspire, with increasing frequency up until today. Today, my phone wouldn't even mount the sd card. I could mount it in clockwork recovery and see the contents on my computer (via usb), but once booted into my Android Revolution ROM, no luck.
To test whether the problem was the phone or the card, I stuck the card in my other phone - an Aria - and the card from that phone in my Inspire. Both worked! After that, I put the original card back in the Inspire, and lo and behold it worked!
Lesson learned: if your sd card stops working, put it in a different phone for a minute.

I'm getting a lot of card unexpectedly removed errors. I was wondering if there is something known to cause this. I have reformatted the card a few times after experiencing this error using Windows 7. The card will work for a while, and then it happens again. I have a 16gb Sandisk card. It's only class 2. I wonder if it's the problem. I never had a single problem with it in my Tilt 2. I have about 9gb of music on it. I may scale that back to about 5gb. Also, when I place files on the card using the card reader rather than directly onto the phone in USB mode, I seem to get better results. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I've got the same card with the exact same issue. It's enough to make me want to pull my hair out I do know that

I used to have that problem till i switched ROM s. Try Leedroid's, TB fusion, or Cm7 nightlies with Lord mod ue kernel. I had no issues with those.
Anybody having issues with their SD card unmounting repeatedly?
I would be listening to music or using another app, then I get a notification saying the SD card unmounted unexpectedly. To fix this, I would have to reboot. Sometimes rebooting once doesnt actually solve the issue.
I do have to say that when I boot into recovery (CWM) the card is present and readable (I am able to reflash ROMs from it).
I found similar threads for other devices, but there seems to be no solution offered.
When this problem occured, I was runnning ARHD 3.6.2 (not sure if that has anything to do with it).
Any solutions to this?
Thanks!
Can u tell us which firmware version your on, stock? android revolution XE?
Same here :/
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e
ROM: Android Revolution HD 3.6.2
Kernel: 2.6.35.14-Sensation-faux123-v0.2.1+

Mine just did this to me tonight. Now when you insert it I see the "Preparing SD Card" then about 2 seconds later "Removed SD Card". I had been using a SanDisk 8 GB class 2 thats been through 2 BlackBerry phones before this one, so I popped the Kingston 8 GB class 4 the phone came with in there and voila, it sees the card. Im thinking my card may have randomly gone belly up on me, but I will know more after I get a reader for my PC.
Just wondering if anyone else has had issues with SD cards randomly doing this with this phone. It seems I've read a lot about SD card problems with these phones while searching, I don't want to have to worry about losing all my data as much as I am now. The card was rock solid for about 3 years in the other phones, and I've had my Sensation less than a month.
~T.J.
This normally happens to me right before I start an app that would read or write into the data in the card: when I start playing MP3s, start games or apps installed in the card, accept a bluetooth file transfer, send a file from the card thru bluetooth, etc
I happens at least once a day. Generally, a simple reboot works to get the card back, but if it doesnt, I would have to open the cover and manually take out then reinsert the card.
I'm pretty sure it's not a hardware issue, though this is the first card I've used on my Sensation (bought brand new for use specifically with the phone).
Does branding of the card have anything to do with it? I admit that I got a brand that was slightly on the cheaper side, but had a lifetime warranty. If it matters, the card is made in Taiwan.
I haven't changed cards, as I'm still hoping this might just be a software bug. The reason I say this is because the very first time this happened, I had installed Always Flash, which I found to be an app that I could do without. I forced stopped the app and uninstalled it, and that's when the bug hit for the first time.
Hope someone knows the answer to this...
Thanks!
That's what happened to me, I opened titanium to do a backup and got a card removed unexpectedly error. The phone has never recognized the card since.

I've been having the same problem with my sensation xe. Sometimes it'll be fine for a week or more, and then it may unmount the card randomly 2 or 3 days in a row. Normally I have to shutdown, pull the battery and physically remove and re-insert the card to get it to remount, as just rebooting has never worked for me.
Tonite, even this wouldn't work. I ended up having to boot into 4ext and mount the card in there before rebooting the phone.
I really do hope someone can work out the reason our phones are doing this.
For the record, I'm using ARHD 6.7.0 and a 32g class 10 Strontium card.
anybody found a solution for this?... I also have the same problem. Tried several sd card and stock/no stock roms. Same thing every time.
I think it is a hardware prob.
I had this happen to me before but found a solution for mine. I checked my SD card and it was not locked in it's caseing so it was unmounting randomly. I removed the SD card and replaced making certain it was locked into the caseing and it's never happened again. It's definitely worth a try to check your card and make absolutely sure it's locked into the caseing. Would not hurt to check. For me, this solved my problem. My card was in the caseing but not locked in, this was causing my issue. I wish you the best. I do hope you get this fixed. Hopefully it's only that the card is loose ! Like I said it's worth a try. Best wishes.
I'd try fully formatting the card using gparted. I always do this if I have any suspicion that something may be wrong with a card and its never let me down yet.
Google it, its free and there are videos on YouTube showing how to use it so all it'll cost you is a bit of time, gotta be worth a go......

Not sure if anyone else ahs had this problem, but all of a sudden, out of no where my external sd card doesn't work... like when i go to contacts and want to export them to it, it isn't there. Only sim card and send namecard via... Then yesterday, it randomly started working again, and then i took it out of my phone and put it back in to see something, and it stopped working again. Anyone know what i can do?
That actually happened to me and my dads Infuse, the thing is...idk the actual cause i thouht it was mecanical damage to the spot where the sd card holds, but then i solved my problem buying another sd card (not a cheap ebay one like before)
My dads infuse never read it back and had to get a replacement so change your sd card if that doesnt work ask for a replacement.
Hope it helpa

Hi guyz,
My HTC crashes indefinitely without any reason. I still don't know if its a hardware crash of because of software. I'm waiting for the ICS OTA update to see if the crash is caused by software.
Is there any log file where I can see what caused the system crash?
Thanks in advance
Are you rooted? You could try getting the device to produce a logcat while running and then reproduce what it does to crash, but I don't think it will create one on its own....
sent from my android powered beast!
No its not rooted. Stock HTC 2.3.4 with Htc sense.
And I doubt my memory card is in good state. It turns off immediately after switching it on when I see a message "Preparing SD card".
Its been 4 hours since I removed my SD card. So far so good.
Hmmm. Have you tried with an alternative SD card? Might be somehow the software is corrupt when trying to mount the SD, causing the boot loop. Or just a knackered SD card
sent from my android powered beast!
I din try an alternative SD card.
Bad news. Crashes without SD card too.
Will try a factory reset. And even after reset if the device crashes, gotta head to the service center

sounds like your best bet. as long as your s-on and stock they cant refuse
Have same problem, it shuts down periodically without reason. I sent it on service today, will se what they say this time.
It happens to me since I bought it (july 2011), and it was on service 2 times yet for same problem. 1st time they changed my motherboard, and 2nd got new battery, and the problem is still not fixed.
I recorded the crash with my 2nd phone (srry for bad camera ) link:
1. youtu.be/9FF4GnAZiJU
2. youtu.be/rgUFPIXB-s4
Do you have crashes like this or...?
My bf has the same crashes! Maybe we can compare software? If it's hardware related, a new motherboard would have helped.

Yeah, but with new motherboard i got same problem. After re-flashed software everything is ok for 2-3 weeks, and than again same problems (crashes). I don't know what to do...
Well my Sensation is still in service, will come in few days and i hope the problem is fixed or I get new phone .
Hi,
In Camera mode, I'm getting the message: Performance of SD card is not good enough, please switch to internal storage.
My SD was working fine with the HTC U11, & first few days with 11+
I've updated the phone via OTA, then a couple days later, it happened with the SD card message.
I've copied files back & forth between the SD card & my laptop, everything is working as usual.
Also, during a phone call, when I hit speaker, it's just not really working.
Does anyone get similar issue?
Thanks!
Do a factory reset , maybe it will solve it
U11+ sd error

Yes i have had exactly the same problem
HTC have now said its a problem with the card that i'm using and they have replicated it at their end
i'm using Kingston class 10 cards....their recommendation is to use ditto San Disk
Use Class 10 UHS-II Card.

I also get the same issue. Anyone found a solution yet? Or has anyone used a particular microSD card that doesnt give this error?
Edit: To those who are having this issue, what microSD card are you using? Lets see if this issue is caused by certain types/brand of microSD cards...
I had a 8gb either Samsung or Kingston in it and received this error message. I have since put a 16gb SanDisk in and no error message as yet.
I use sd card ss evo 64gb and it's good performance for me.
