SD card trouble

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

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

SD card unexpectedly removed error.....

Ugh. This is so annoying. I have a HTC inspire all stock. Just the newest update from ATT. Also when I got the phone about 2 months ago I purchased a 16 gig class 2 sandisk SD card and had this error over and over.
So I formatted it in the phone and had zero issues for a month. Now today we went on a trip and I used Google maps with navigation and once I got to my destination and closed out maps and did other things on my phone all of a sudden guess what came back. Yep. SD card removed. This time I received it like 5 times. The last time I pulled both the SD card and battery also I uninstalled the update to Google maps and so far its fine. I just wish they would freaking figure the problem out I'm getting annoyed with it.
Anyone else have this issue yet or a fix for it?

That is pretty dang weird! I have a bone stock Inspire as well. I am using just the 8 gig class 4 SanDisc card that came with the phone and have not had that problem. However, I have not used navigation and only use data when I'm on my home WiFi network. Sorry I can't help you further, maybe one of these other guys on here will be able to help you correct it. I would say try backing up the entire SD card to your computer, to back up all you files on it, and try reformatting from your computer. When I say from your computer, I mean take it out of the phone and get it connected directly to the pc. If that doesn't work, I'm all outta options. Good luck, and let us know if that works or not.

Yeah I will try it when I get home on Sunday. There are a ton of posts on googles site for developers with this same issue across a ton of other phone manuacturers. Some say its 2.2 issue but idk. I am so mad now its doing it again. Now I can lock the screen and 20 minutes later ill unlock and it does the SD card again. I managed to unmount it before it did it again. I wish Google would fix it.
Here is the post I'm talking about. I know it says LG ally but if you see all the posts there are a lot of them different brands.

Whenever I used weatherbug on my Inspire, I was had the SD card unmount problem...

Hmmm. Let me uninstall weatherbug its worth a shot. I have had it on my phone for a few weeks now without issue tho.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

I would wonder if it doesn't have something to do with the slower data transfer speeds of class 2 flash media, but that may only effect the ability to record 720p video.

Hopefully it's a REAL 16 GB card from SanDisk, and not a counterfeit card.

Well I deleted weatherbug app and no SD card inexpecdly removed error. Oh well that's weird. And its a real card I purchased it at Hastings in Richmond ky.
Also slower speed hasn't effected anything. I recorded some videos of my son playing and it was just fine.

I used to have that issue all the time when I was on froyo. I haven't had it at all on gingerbread. I think it is an app2sd problem in froyo.

i saw something similar but with the sim card...
i think it was the door

Well the error is back. God this is annoying as Hell. Once the screen locks when it goes to sleep I guess it comes right back. I tried installing contract killers this morning and it caused it to do this again. So I deleted it and it won't stop....

Do you happen to be running the "Flight Control" game app? It can do strange stuff if you leave it paused for too long (forcing a battery-pullout).

nope no flight control app... well i had to back up my photos and videos online so i can format the card in the phone.... its been about 30 minutes so far so good.. i hope this is fixed... sucks because i lost all my progress on all my angry birds games and everything lol...

Still getting this crap. It's fine unless I access the card on a game. If I play contract killer the first time I open it works fine. But if I close and go back it will say checking integrity of the file it will close out and POP up the sd card error. You guys think heat can do this? It was fine till I drove with maps on and the battery got warm. I just wonder if the card is going bad?

Ok so weird. Now that I am home with a WiFi connection I havent received this error at all in 24 hours..... ugh of course when I was in the woods (literally) this past weekend it flipped out and almost messed up my whole weekend. Now I'm home its fine. FML
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Well that's pretty strange..
Do you get the same sort of problem if your phone is in Airplane mode?
Do you have a mini/micro SD card reader for your PC (or another phone) to try the card in? If so, maybe you could try playing a large video file directly from the card, just to see if stays stable.

Yeah I can try that today. That's a good idea never thought to do that. Now airplane mode I never tried but so far its been two days and no sd card error. I do know I am going to start backing that Dang thing up from now on tho after this.

Issues with my sensation

As this is my second handset I'm having all kind of problems or "bugs"
1. When I go to delete an app the size numbers go nuts I have to back out then try again before I am able to remove an app
2. My phone gets super hot right now all I am doing is typing this post and my phone is at 112 F
3. My data when switching from 2g, 3g or 4g sticks where I have to like in the hd2 early android stages and enable airplane mode and disable airplane mode
4. I have had to hard reset my phone so much lately that I took my cover completely off has froze twice so bad the screen turned black and did not come back till after the hard reset
This an amazing device with alot of potential given that HTC unlocks the bootloader (my guess is xda will beat them to the punch . I do not want to do a handset exchange again it is a pain in the butt and it is not like I know the next one will be flawless. I'm torn but you know what I think ill wait until I'm rootedAnd see what the awesome devs cook up if I'm still having issues ill return it. What do you think?

I spoke to voda today. I am onto my second device now and the bugs just keep crawling out so they are sending me another on Tuesday.
But, to be fair I'm quiet disappointed with the sensation. And have lost all faith in htc so I ask if it was possible to change to another device. They said only if the next obe has issues, which I think it will personally. So looks like ill be joining the sgs2 group. These things seem far to unfinished to have on a 24month contract. Personal opinion.

Overheating is bad. It can cause numerous problems, like those freezes. I would try to figure out what's causing it. Try installing OSMonitor and look at the running processes CPU load. In the settings you can sort on load by descending (the default is ascending), which will put the heaviest users at the top of the list. If CPU usage is not causing the heat then the phone may be defective, and you could face ongoing problems. If the cause is some app or setup option then getting another phone won't fix it. The freezes may be an indication the phone is already damaged, with replacement the only option.
Regarding the 2G/4G switching, have you done the toggle ciphering fix? If not you can search the forums for how to do it. If so, then you may just be in a marginal signal area where it's going to flip around. I'm in one myself at home, but use wifi so it's not a problem. If it does it when you're in a strong 4G area then not sure what to say except contact support (you say 4G so I assume you're on TMO in the US).
Don't know about the uninstall quirk. Have the apps been moved to the SD? If so, try moving them back before uninstalling. If they are standard market apps then sounds like a bug that should be reported.
Edit: One other thought. You might try formatting your SD. That's solved some quirky issues for other posters. I had some flakiness on my first Sensation, HTC diagnosed it as a bad SD and sent me a new one.

Thanks for the reply helped alot

Regarding the uninstalling apps issue, I've seen something similar. When I first access an app under Settings>Applications>Manage applications I see the storage numbers rolling rapidly then stop. If I try to uninstall at that point nothing happens. If I back out one level and then go back in to the app I can uninstall it. Odd behavior but the workaround is simple.

(Q) Possible over heating issue...not sure

I really dont play games on my phone. Though recently i wanted to try a few games. I notice after playing the more graphically intense games for awhile my phone will get really hot. after about 30 mins or so the phone gets hot. games play real laggy adn eventual will lock up. close and often ill notice that my sd card will remount. I dont get any errors of force close messages. Anybody else notice this or have this issue? I dont really know if its the just the phone or some unknown issue so i figured i would ask.
Just a side not too. i notice i lose 4g once in a great while. i just switch from airplane mode and back and 4g comes right back. I live in the middle of a 4g area. This is also my 5th clnr and non of the others ever did this. Also my wife's charge dont do this at all. the other 4 phones had other issues like blown speaker, lock up issues etc but never this. Did i get set another bad phone or would getting a new sm card or factory reset fix this issue?
I should also note. Phone is rooted running stock rom but has imnuts pbj time voodoo kernel

If it makes you feel better, mine drops data at least 3 times a day.

Are you overclocking? If you are you might want to bring it down some. For the connection problem search around the charge forums, there are some instructions on how to replace the stock modem with the new leak epw1. Also my best recommendation is to flash one of the roms in xda specially humble. They're very stable.

Here is the link where you can get the new modem and flash it with Odin3 1.82, and if you are adventurous try to flash the new gingerbread rom as well. Look around xda for tutorials on how to use Odin.

No im not overclocked. i dont drop 4g reg. i stay a constant at 4bar on 4g. its like ever few days i lose 4g and have to reset or go in and out of airplane mode to rest. So its not a huge issue but non of the other phones nor my wife's phone ever lost 4g.
Ill try the modem though. thanks for the link.

Multitude of Issues.

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
