Hi,
Running CM7, Faux123 2.0 kernel.
It's been 100% stable for me and my usage profile.
However, today switched off the phone to fully charge the battery. It was a clean shutdown, i.e. NOT a battery removal. I fully charged it and sometime later went to switch it on. When it started up it complained about the SD card. The Sensation couldn't see it at all.
I switched off, removed the card and inserted it in a uSD -> USB on a M$ Windoz system. The PC refused to mount it and also refused to format it, I made several attempts. I didn't have time to try it on my Linux system.
After flaffing around on the M$ Windoz system I tried on the phone again failed. I then rebooted into CWM and it reformatted fine, then booted fine.
I've only had one other uSD card issue before (on my Desire, the card just failed 100%, complete and utter failure on the card). This seems to have been a partial failure, almost a partitioning issue, must admit I didn't try to re-partition on the PC.
I was wondering if other folks have had similar uSD card issues.

I've read in other forums of this problem but have not been able to find a solution (not entirely true).....when I turn the phone on in the morning, it just keeps restarting without going to the home screen. Sometimes it take 2 reboots sometimes more. The only way it will boot up correctly right from the start is to take the mem card out, so I think that's probably the problem, but it's not a corrupt or problem card. Once the phone starts and I put in the mem card all is fine.
I want to try to format the memory card from the phone, but don't know how to. Anyone else know how to do this? Also any other suggestions or solutions?
I got this once. Somehow i got the phone on. I just took the card out and put it in when its about to restart. Mabye it was luck, but i dont know. But if you get your phone on again, I would certainly format it (clear storage)
Does your phone ever act up again after that? Mine still does. It turns on fine without the memory card in. By the way, how do you format the memory card on the phone?
Mine rebooted all the time until I removed Facade. Hard Reset the phone and didn't install it and haven't had the problem since. I know Facade isn't "compatible" yet with WM6, but other than rebooting it worked fine.
Really....I'm going to try that and see what happens.
For those that have this problem, it's true. Once Facade is uninstalled and a soft reset, the problem went away....
I had this happnen to me for the first time today. I had the phone off all night (was testing another device) and then when I put my SIM back in and powered up it went into this reboot cycle. powerd off, even took the battery out still no luck.
Then I took the SIM out and tried to power up and it came right up. Powered off and put the SIM back and it worked agian first time.
Not sure, but maybe the SIM was not fully seated... since this was the first time I actually took it out since I get the VOX...and this was the first time I had the problem...

I had the same problem, although I never installed Facade, Initially the phone was fine and the it started re-booting on startup. I saw a suggestion of running SKtools and removeing duplicates in the Notification table, this worked for a while, then it came back again.
At first the only cure appeared to be to re-boot without the sd card inserted - inserting it again after the phone was running (it even had the same problem with a blank card inserted)
I then read abot someone putting the phone in Flight mode before turning it off - this also solved the problem - better than removing the card each time.

After hard reset - lost option to store attachments on storage card
I had the same problem and solved it by hard resetting the device. However after the hard reset the option to user the storage card for email attachments has disappeared from the pOutlook options screen.
The SD Card is OK and I tried to solve it by a new hard reset, but it is still not resolved.
I would be very graefull for the one that has a solution for this.
I have the same problem with my SD card.
With the card inserted the phone keeps rebooting.
With the card removed it starts normally.
When I insert the card when WM6 is running the card is normal accessible.
Tried an other card and also a 1 Gb card. Same problem over and over.
I'm going to try a Kingston card.
If anyone has a solution, I'll be happy to hear it.
i have my microSD inserted when i power on my Vox but didn't have this problem. what rom version do you have? my rom version is 1.15.405.2.
I have a friend with a similar problem. Would appreciate any further input on this situation. Has anyone taken a look at Paul's (from Modaco) answer to soft reset loop????
Check it out and see if it does anything. Want to know if that'll fix it before I take the phone off his hands.
Hi all,
Like many Vox users, I've also suffered from this problem.
I've noticed two scenarios which helped me solve the "boot-loop". Hopefully they'll help others.
I once had a GPRS monitor application installed to my strorage card. Re-installing to the phones memory helped me.
Also, when I had bluetooth turned on, I powered down, powered-up again, and the phone booted okay!
I think theres a few variables involved in this, and no single "silver bullet". Hopefully HTC will provide an official fix soon.
Michael.
Friends,
Thats all humours. Don't need to remove/install any software. All work fine except you reboot and remove your SD card.
Its simple: if rebooting occurs, just remove SD card and once booted, reinsert SD card, simple! nothing else need to do.
Its true that its a bug with WM unfortunately; i don't know when would it be resolved.
i have tried to boot up with 512MB & 1GB sd card but never had this rebooting problem. Maybe you can let me know your current rom code version and i will try to verify the problem?
I have got the same problem my phone keeps on restarting...
when i put the mem-card after restarting it is being opened as storage card 2, and default storage card option asks for turning on the bluetooth.
Re: Rebooting of Vox
Hi,
Had this problem once (and drove me nuts!, I was out on tour, no PC access nothing).
I formatted the SD Card (Its always better to use a card reader and format it from a PC.
Another I had this problem (hope you are not as dumb as me ):
I use TPC and set it to ultra slow . So every time I booted up, the CPU was not simply powerful enough to cater to the power requirement and rebooted. I had to do a Hard Reset. Hope you have your contacts backup before you go for a hard reset

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you have bluetooth file explorer turned on, it will show as a storage card
i had it long time ago with one of the official htc roms.
The solution is to make loose the simcard-slot in the middle of the booting.
Vox will turn off.
Close and start the phone again.
It should be over then.
Re: Official ROMs
Yeah! The official ROMs suck! actually the best solution will be to switch to a custom ROM from Dr G/FH / fireburned, they are much much better feature wise/ battery backup wise and speed wise. I think HTC should try using one of those ROM as there official ROM
Hi guys,
I've been having this problem for quite some time now. I first noticed this when I shifted from one custom ROM (SAGA LBC) to another (CyanogenMod 7.1). At first, my phone kept resetting after a reboot. At first, I thought it was an incompatible ROM. For a time, wiping cache and dalvik cache via the recovery interface did the trick. But then, it just got worse and worse. I eventually reverted back to LBC, thinking that it might be Cyanogen. But, as it turns out, my phone still kept resetting. Even as mundane a task as going to the settings menu freezes up my phone, requiring me to reset, sometimes even by pulling out the battery. I tried doing the wiping of the caches again, bit it never became effective.
Then I read somewhere that Andoid seems to be uber sensitive to file corruptions and defragmentation of the microSD card, so I defragged the SD, fixed the permissions, and deleted the LOST.DIR and tmp folders. Everything went smoothly at first, but then after a couple of days, my phone kept rebooting again. To verify that it was the microSD at fault, I removed it for the mean time. Since then, my phone hasn't frozen nor rebooted.
One other thing: whenever I check the microSD via Windows (right click --> Properties --> Tools), everything seems to be in order as Windows can't detect anything wrong. Right now, I've ran chkdsk :f /f /r on the drive, but Windows says that everything is fine. I haven't reinstalled the microSD yet, as I want to run a more thorough test before I do.
Have any of you encountered this? Could you guys give me suggestions on what to do, a better tool than chkdsk, etc? I can buy another card, but I don't want to do that just yet. My microSD is 32GB, and I don't want to just throw it away or something
I have asked this on androidforums.com as well, but i'm hoping I might get a quicker answer here.
I have a rooted LG P500 running cm7, the usb storage has always worked fine. But last night I plugged it in, the computer made the right noise, the phone picked up being connected, but when I pressed turn on USB storage, it tried for a minute, then stopped trying and went back to home screen and changed my cm7 theme (also started displaying telecom instead of the usual skinny for my network, not a big deal, skinny is owned by telecom, but still strange) a reboot puts the network back, the theme needs to be changed back manually.
I have tried this several times now with the same result each time.
The only thing I can think of thats changed recently is I partitioned my SD card, but of course I have used USB storage since then to put all the stuff back on my SD card from computer.
I have nandroid backup from before I partitioned, but don't want to use that if I don't have to, and not sure if it would help anyway.
Help?!
Try to clear your cache and dalvid cache too
Thanks, have just tried that, and then tried to connect again and its now stuck o the usb connected screen where it is trying to turn on mass storage (frozen, the circle is not going round anymore). I think I am going to have to pull the battery.
Also everytime I reboot my phone now it changes my theme.
I think maybe the partitioning didn't work properly, when I did it I went up to 136mb internal storage left, and now I am back down to 43mb again! Even though darktremor a2sd says that my apps are on sd. Is this why things aren't working properly? Please someone help!
When I unmount the SD card and plug it into a card reader in the computer it says "USB Device not recognised" and something about it malfunctioning. is this normal for a partitioned card, or is something wrong?
Interestingly when I unmounted the SD card it changed my theme and went back to telecom as my network, so obviously the problem is something to do with the SD card, but all the apps etc on the SD card work fine.
Update: Have USB storage working in recovery so situation is not so urgent now.
Still would like to sort out whatever is going on though if anyone knows, I am obviously having some kind of issue since my theme is always resetting to stock cm7 theme when I try connect USB or reboot the phone.
I am at a loss... I have a Samsung Galaxy J7, (sm-j700p) and I have a 64GB SD card in it. It was working fine until thirty minutes ago, and a preexisting problem reared its ugly head; The battery the device comes with does not have the proper voltage to power the device when it's under a large amount of stress. So when the screen spazzed out, I thought I knew what happened, and I just powered off the device, popped the battery out and then let the device fully recharge, which fixed the problem. But unfortunately, a new problem arose. The apps I had moved to the SD Card weren't loading in, as if the SD Card wasn't inserted. I went to the Storage settings (Settings>Storage) and low and behold, it was reading it as mounted. So I jumped over to Total Commander (my 3rd party file browser) and found I could access and manipulate the files with no problems. So could anyone tell me what happened? And maybe how to fix it?
[EDIT] I have fixed the SD Card, basically copying the data from the SD to my PC, then formatting the Card, and setting it up on the device before restoring the files. The only problem I face now is when I move apps, the phone either has no problem with it or restarts immediatly.
I have been the owner of this Samsung Galaxy S9 for about 13 months now, and earlier today my battery died. When I turned the phone back on after partial charging, it acted extremely strangely. It rebooted to the secure boot pin screen a few times, and even to recovery mode a couple of times, rebooting about every 3 minutes. But that isn't it; wifi and cellular refused to connect, the screen would not go off if I pressed the power button, the settings app would not open, many other apps barely works, and the device was very slow for the time it was on.
I did the usual troubleshooting steps, clearing the cache in recovery mode, booting into safe mode, uninstalling recently installed apps, scanning with Knox and Malwarebytes, nothing. But, I remembered the day before, inside Samsung Gallery, there was a little text box before my images that said "SD Card has corrupted information, please back up your SD card and consider replacing it." I didn't think too much about it, or screenshot it. Well, to try something, I removed the SD card and booted normally. The only thing I changed that time was the lack of the SD card and voila, it worked fine. Haven't had an issue since, and I honestly think it might be running better.
For my amateur speculation/hypothesis: I believe when Android starts up, it tries to index installed SD cards. The card I am using is an old Samsung Evo 32 GB card, to the tune of 5+ years. Possibly, with the age of the card, there was light corruption in one folder or cell, and Android didn't know what to do with it. I can't find any corrupted files, but I guess Android hung on parsing the microSD card. I just wanted to share my experience and see if anyone had heard of something similar; I sure cannot find anything on it.
TL;DR: A corrupted microSD card in my Galaxy S9 caused Android to lose most function, and bootloop. Usual troubleshooting did nothing, however, removing the card returned the OS back to normal.
