[Q] SD Card USB Mounting problem - HTC Sensation

I tried searching around for this but haven't seen exactly the same issue anywhere, hopefully someone knows what is going on. I just picked up a sensation and I am having some weird issues mounting the SD Card and reading/writing from it. This is only happening when i use it as "disk drive" on my phone through USB. I'm having no problems with the SD Card slot on my computer and I've seen this happen with multiple SDs in my phone (tried an 8gig and a 32gig).
The issue is that the phone will sporadically mount/unmount/remount (win7) and every time it will pop up with the message that drive X is corrupt and needs to be repaired. I run through it but it still happens. So, hardware issue? I bought it used so hopefully I can still pull off a warranty replacement if I need to.

First try a custom ROM. If that doesn't work, idk. Probably hardware then

Huh. Yeah, I had this thing rooted with a custom rom since hte first day I've had it. I'm currently running htcclay's Superlite but I thought I experienced it with other ones. Thanks, I'll check out something else then!

That's what I've been doing since I got it, but if it is in fact a hardware issue I want to get this dealt with before my warranty expires. If not, then it's good to know it's software.

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.

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 unmounting on its own

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+
Radio: 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2
Thanks!
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......

[Q] HTC Sensation crash log location

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 .

Skyrocket usb error

Hi everyone, this is my first post requesting help.
My skyrocket charges with the usb port but wont connect. I tried a darkside wipe, format of system data cache emmc and reflashing many roms. I want to use odin and try to use stock.recovery and rom to see if it works. I enter download mode and it still wont connect. I reinstalled kies and still doesnt work. Its not my computer cause my t989 galaxy s2 connects and these two phones are nearly identical.
Running ics real thing 4.2 v9 cwm touch by realsk8tr
If possible, try another computer.
I have the same problem with mine. This is a new problem that just started a couple weeks ago. Mine seems to be a hardware problem since it won't recognize USB connection in CWM, Odin, the stock rom, or my current Sky ICS rom.
I'll flash back to stock and send it back for warranty repair once I get another phone to use. I have a contract renewal coming up in May, so I'll do something then (I bought this one off contract, so I have to send it to Samsung)
Its a real pain because I have to transfer everything wirelessly between to/from my laptop.

It is a new problem that occured after using the ics leak. I cant believe there isnt a solution. Can you link me to a zip method that will return me to stock GB without the use of odin? And can i send my skyrocket in for warranty replacement? I never got insurance on it, i brought it in november from att nyc. This skyrocket also gets dev/block errors upon format. Any ideas guys?

What radios have you flashed? Also did the problem just happen after a flash or appear out of nowhere?
Just for the heck of it try uninstalling kies, the drivers should stick. Sometimes that'll do the trick

Mine happened while I was still stock/rooted. I had changed nothing for several weeks. It just stopped recognizing when it was connected to USB. I have tested on multiple computers and tested another sgs2 on my laptop. The problem is definitely with my phone. No other computers recognize my phone is connected, phone won't mount USB, etc. Yet other phones work fine when connecting to my laptop.
I even flashed back to stock GB 2.3.5 , etc. Its not an ICS issue since this happened prior to flashing ICS (it actually went tits up in March prior to the leak).
I have a GB 2.3.5 Nandroid backup I'll flash before sending it to Samsung.
Samsung warranty is good for one year. AT&T will only do a 30 day exchange type warranty. Anything after 30 days has to go back to Samsung repair.
My only concern is without a USB connection I can't flash to the stock recovery. I can flash to stock GB and unroot and clean it up on the ROM side, but it will still have CWM recovery. Oh well.
The way I see it this is definitely a hardware issue. Samsung should fix the hardware problem regardless of the recovery software.

I guess I should have stated I have tried about 6 different cords.... I am a Systems Admin, so I've tried all the obvious fixes. It just absolutely will not recognize a USB connection anymore. Also, none of the computers recognize that a USB device has been connected.
It's definitely something wrong with the USB on the device.

I did flash the note modem once maybe my efs is corrupt
No, it's not that. It's hardware. It's almost certainly a cold solder joint. Must be a bad batch of I727s out there, mine's doing the same thing.
Sunday, I had a 30 minute call. After, I noticed the phone would charge, but couldn't get the computer to see it as a USB device. Last night, after an hour long call, I tried it and it worked. Managed to get it into download mode, flashed the stock .tar with ODIN, and got back to stock. About five minutes after that it started failing again (charging but not connecting, etc).
I'm using my T989 as a charger. If you can find a way to charge the battery, what I'm testing now might work. [EDIT: I re-read the OP and you have a T989 as well so you're set!] I'll post back. I set up a call to a test number (909-390-1390 is a 1Khz continuous tone) and placed the phone on the back of my video card with the USB cable connected. If it connects, we'll know this works for heating the phone up enough to temporarily 'fix' the cold solder joint.
But my skyrocket charges perfectly, via wall charger and usb, i have no need to use a external charger
You may not have the same issue as I have. I will note that as mine degrades it'll start acting as though I'm repeatedly unplugging it (PC rapidly going through USB connect/disconnect cycles, etc), then it'll still show that it's charging although the PC no longer recognizes it, until finally it acts as though the USB does nothing at all. The hotter I get the phone, the longer each stage takes.
Im just concerned that cwm will bone you from Samsung. one crazy idea is force brick so it doesn't turn on at all if they can't see recovery then you can anyways claim power failure

This is a good thread. My skyrocket is a used one from Texas. Won it on Ebay. Shipped out quick. Nice unit except it did exactly what I see described here.
It worked great the first day as a stock ice cream sandwich or whatever you call the ATT skyrocket software package Android 4.0 something. The USB hookup started getting flaky the more I used it, it would disconnect. It was unhooking, and I'd click to "copy files to PC" button again and again. It made rooting it a real challenge.
As if getting your arms around "Odin" wasn't intimidating enough...
I thought it might be from being jiggled, so when I was stashing the last of my downloads to flash CM9, I was careful to have it on a surface when I gently touched the screen and got all the files copied I wanted, and the phone, computer, and data cord left untouched, appeared to "work" ahead of the epic fail.
After I flashed the new CM9 from (wow thanks team chopsticks!) the USB is not recognized either in the skyrocket nor the computer, nothing. It shows charge, that's it.
I intend to get a USB reader for the microchip as a work-around. The phone screams. This is my second skyrocket and the new CyanogenMod 9 is the love I've been looking for. At last, a phone that can bring up a gallery full. My first skyrocket had trouble when the 32 GB microchip approached full. This one flips the 20 GB worth of pages full of folders up like nothing flat.
Also, interesting detail on this used Ebay phone... the first thing I noticed is you can't power it off. The seller shipped it with the battery removed. I tried plugging it in, leaving it unplugged, this i727 just will not power down. I do love the touchwiz recovery, and how you can select to reboot and then choose to boot into recovery. That part worked nicely and I am over all happy.
I know its late replay but I got solution!
I had same prob all i did was took toothpick stick it inside phone USB connector thing and pushed it little bit up and now it works perfectly FINE!
Yes the toothpick fix does work. Had the same problem with mine. Read about using the toothpick to fix this problem from a post back in December of last year. Don't pry up too much and break the toothpick off inside. A little twist is all it needed on mine. Noticed some dirt and grime came off on the toothpick. Maybe this helped clean it as well

[HELP] Nexus S i9020A - TouchScreen Issue

Hello everyone,
im new here,
I just bought Nexus S from some1,
it had a problem which later showed up.
The touchscreen works all by itself suddenly,
the left part of the screen is misbehaving, it starts touching on screen when its not.
it was on GB when i bought, then i updated it to ICS to see if the problem gets fixed but it gets more crazy, now updated to Jelly Bean, worked fine for a while, but now again its starting.
Any help will be appreciated
I think it is a problem with your touch screen hardware and not the android software. That being said, unless someone else has had the problem, no one can really help you.. Personally, since I've never heard of this problem, I'd recommend you get it repaired, even if it costs some $$. Hopefully someone else who has had the problem can help you out, but until then, best of luck!

Already tried all flashing. nothing helped.
but recently i did some wierd things with phone,
i burned my nexus s screen side, not actually burned it, but kept it to a distance from fire, just to heat it up,
i thought if there was any moisture that was causing the trouble might end up from burning,
after the phone cooled down, i placed battery and started phone..
wow amazing... it worked fine!!
but in the next step i inserted SIM card, i was going happy and was thinking "oh yes... saved the day!!!"
but boom, touchscreen started misbehaving again!!!!
i removed SIM card, but problem persists!!!
sad...
but i tried again,
removed battery and sim card,
burned phone again with more temperature as i was angry, wanted it to burn completely, but i guess i saved it.
now currently, without the SIM card, phone is working perfect as it was.
I dont know wat it has to do with the SIM card or burning
any1 knows wats its problem?? how can i use my SIM card with phone now???

Problem is back... and i think i found wat is troubling, its the SIM card, when i insert SIM card it does troubles, but when i use airplane mode, everything gets better.
tried different SIM cards, but no change.
so guyz tell me possible fix of the SIM card?
noticed another problem,
phone takes a very long time to recharge
and when i plug the recharger, sometimes battery indicates 10% or more Additional battery suddenly
i don understand wat is the problem?
Battery? Recharger? or SIM Slot??
im getting crazy now!!
Finally Its Fixed without spending any money
it seems baseband was troubling... as it was something like this i9020A this A is meant for AT&T thus its preferred network was WCDMA (my network is only on GSM).. i saw a code to see my phone info.. *#*#4636#*#*
This code showed up a window where i saw a button called radio... i switched it off.. i thought it was meant for FM Radio lol.. but it actually turned off my Cellular network.. i turned it back on and then i saw that the problem was gone... i went to see baseband and now its I9020XXX .. that A is gone..
Issue is fixed but there is one thing i don't understand at all.. how did fixing radio band fixed the touch issue? I think this conflict was causing Operating System to go crazy, hardware was never at fault..it was all software confliction.. I'm very happy its fixed..
If some1 have the same issue go here
*#*#4636#*#* turn radio off then turn on again.. hope it helps..and if it doesn't then at least it helped me

I have a Nexus S and I have the exact same problem since last few days. I enabled "show touche" from the developer options to track the screen touch. Now I can clearly see that one column on the left side of the phone gets a random series of touches (in that one column only) from top to bottom. The issue I think is a HW issue, nothing to do with sim card, or ROM or anything related to SW. I have tried GB, ICS, JB and even "touch" version of the clockwork. It happens even in clockwork. It seems to me that I need to buy a Galaxy nexus unless someone knows of an easy way to fix this.

I tried so much things but it's absolutely a hardware problem, I found on the internet that there is some netarchy kernel modified by someone, but that's not up to date anymore. The kernel only works with a old version of android.
I update my android almost every month, it helps a bit but not much.
I am trying to learn all about building and modifying roms and kernels, but that is not that easy as I thought so that will take some time before I can publish a kernel for you.
Maybe if you can building kernels, try it by yourself?
Or google Nexus s unresponsive touchscreen, i found there some helpful answers. But they all not really up to date.):
I hope you'll find a way!
Sorry for my bad English​
