[Q] Xperia X10 SD Card Damaged

I was using my Xperia X10a and suddenly I got a notification that says SD Card Damaged. It asks me to format it, when I click on it, it says preparing SD card and then brings up the SD Card Damaged notification again. I went out and bought another SD Card but it still gives me the SD Card Damaged notification. So I tried seeing if the SD card works on another phone and it works fine. How can i fix this. My phone is also rooted. My phone is on AT&T.

Xperia X10 SD Card Damaged
I was told that there may be a physical problem with the card receiver.
The trick is to only push the card into the slot a little way using the back of the phone to keep it in place.
I tried that to no avail.
I found out that HTC users, Motorolla users, DroidX, Nexus, and other phones running Android Eclair also give the exact problem especially after rooting; many before.
I bought one of the Samsung Galaxy S phones running Gingerbread and haven't had the problem at all.
I mod'd the X10 to Gingerbread and the problem stopped. Only thing is that my Mod doesn't support high res on the camera. Its a temporary fix I guess.

[Q] Problems with flashing

Hi
Up to now I flashed two diffrent roms (RcMix and Android Revolution HD) and I had always the same problem:
After rebooting and restoring my apps with Titanum Backup Pro, The Phone doesn't recognize the micro sd card (Kingston 32gb class4). When I connect the sdcard (via a cardreader) to my laptop, it recognizes the card but I can't open any folders (if I do so then the file explorer doesn't respond and I have to reboot my laptop).
I can "repair" the micro sd by formatting it first in the laprop and then in the phone (via 4ext recovery).
Does anybody know why this happens and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

Nobody got an idea?

Sounds to me your kingston is going out, only reason i say that is i had same issue with my Kingston! and finally it jus died and nothing wouldnt read it, or i couldnt format, so i went with sandisk 32 and its working flawless

go to settings>storage>erase sd card or format it in fat32 via pc

When my SD card is mounted, it isn't detected on my PC, so I can't reformat or erase.

did you try mounting from recovery? I have a sd card usb adapter. It is really handy and I suggest that everyone who flashes picks one up. They don't cost much and let you get at you sd card directly through the pc.

Yes,that is must have if you flash roms all the time like the most of us do.
I got one for like 4 euros,and its life saver.

Usually XDA always has someone who knows what to do in all situations, but in your case it might be a hardware error. Something might not be connecting properly... and that can't be fixed with software solutions. I'm not sure if this is the case here, but a thought to consider.

I have changed my SD card 4 times....and this is my brand new 2nd sensation....so it kind of eliminates the Hardware fault..... Something for sure is related to software somewhere...dont know what

Anyone else getting this problem ??????

I have meet this problem some days ago when I bought a new 16G class6 TF card from KingMax, this card have no problem when using it on PC, but when I using it in my sensation, it always "removed unexpectedly", after change it with a new SANDISK 16G class4 TF card, every thing was OK till now.
So I think it should be a compatibility problem, you can try to using other brand card.

I have the same problem with my HTC Sensation XE phone.
After using an app/game that saves info on the SD card, an error appears that reads: "SD card unexpectedly removed" and all apps that are installed on the SD card are no longer usable, nor is any information (pictures/videos) accessible. The SD card basically becomes invisible to the phone.
I have not tried another SD card yet, but I am reading other people have tried, and it doesn't help. I may try in a week though, when I plan to purchase another one.
Here is some info about my phone:
I have already done all its updates - it has SENSE 3.6 and runs on Android 4.0.3.
It has never been rooted, it runs on the original HTC software.
I am using an 16GB SD card on it - major brand, I believe it is SanDisc.
Also now the problem always appears when I try to update an app that is installed on the SD card, or when I try to record a video - in these two instances I always get the error now, and it gets very annoying.
The phone will randomly get the error on other occasions too.
The only thing that fixes this is to restart the phone 2 times in a row, as by first restart the SD card is still invisible. Another way is to manually remove the battery.
Anyone has any idea how to fix this problem?
I am surprised that I cannot find a clear answer and fix for this problem anywhere, even though so many people have this problem.
Please, help!

You might want to order a new card.perhaps it got corrupted somehow? Do you have a card reader for your computer so you can test the card its self and see if the reader or computer recognizes the card? You can find readers really cheap and they are very good to have. If the reader won't recognize it, It's definitely the card, if the reader does recognize it It's likely your device. First thing I'd try is a new card. Especially if you don't have a reader to check it. Hope this helps.

devices with pretty good built in memory is always the best chioce.

It's an issue
Hello Everyone,
I have an issue to report. For a long time I have been chasing this bug, although I was thinking is a hardware issue.
Here is the issue:
From time to time I have been experiencing an "SD card unexpectedly removed". I was thinking that my sd card is not ok. I have changed the sd card, formated, who knows what else I have been doing, but at the end the same issue.
I started to hate my HTC Sensation 4G. Reading forums, but no help.
I have noticed that this issue does not happens when I install Cyanogen Mod 9.1, but the software from htc same result.
Now let me tell you what ROM I am using and which version and how do I reproduce the issue.
phone: HTC Sensation 4G
Android version 4.0.3
HTC Sense version 3.6
Software number 3.33.401.153
Baseband version 11.76A.3504.00U_11.24A.3504.31_M
Build number 3.33.401.153 CL391535 release keys
I have been using the rom from HTC Sensation XE, but the issue also occurred and on the HTC Sensation 4G ROM.
Steps to reproduce the issue:
1. I have installed SDCardTester https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.anotherflexdev.sdcardtester.SDCardTester&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImFpci5jb20uYW5vdGhlcmZsZXhkZXYuc2RjYXJkdGVzdGVyLlNEQ2FyZFRlc3RlciJd
2. Start the SDCardTester
3. During the testing process call yourself from another cell phone.
4. Problem occurred. "SD card unexpectedly removed"
Also sometimes issue is reproduced when mobile data is ON and there is writing/reading to the SD Card.
Can someone else to try to reproduce this issue and to confirm this problem.
Thanks

Ok i have been facing the same issue...earlier this issue only came when i used ttorrent..but now suddenly it is coming everytime..i first thought its a hardware issue with maybe the card or card reader slot in phone..but if it was a hardware related issue the card also wouldnt show up in the recovery..but in recovery it shows up just fine n i even flashed rom from recovery where setup was in sdcard..this is surely kernel or os issue

SD card Issues

Hello every one i got this phone doogee dg310 before couples of days.
Everything is fine just one a little problem. When i put my external sd card its working. Than i try to plug phone via usb and transfer file to sd card everything is good but after 3 time connecting to pc and doing file tranfer and when i disconnect from pc i got problem. I am try to open any of files explorer and its get crash. and I am trying restart phone nothing helps. And even when i try put another card is the same. But the strange thing is that when i formating my sd card with computer and put back to phone is working fine and another card working fine until iam using file tranfer with usb 3 times. Phone andorid is kitkat 4.4.2 Maybe you know how to solve it ?

You haven’t mentioned about the storage capacity of your SD card. If your phone can support 32 GB then I suggest you to use 16 GB SD card. Try to connect your SD card with another PC and try again.

My phone spports 32 gb cards and mine card is 4 gb. Maybe its kitkat fault because i read that another people have similar problems with sd card and they are using a kitkat android.

I am trying to use sd card adapter and its the same problem and when this problem apear no sd card working until format, it even show that not sd card are turned on even internal.

I think it's crushed. Use a windows 7 based PC and connect sd card to it . Press format on the pop up menu and also press recover bad sectors . In most cases it will fix your problem . Search on internet for any mem. card repair tool and that might be help you .
Regards,

Ok thanks I will try. Maybe you can recomend good tool to repair sd ?

unfortunately but its the same bug i am connect to my laptop with windows 7 and format and also scan for bad sectors and trying this with usb and after 4 time transfaring files i got the same problem

use an adapter to put the card in your pc, then get a program for your pc to format the card properly, then put the card back into your phone.

buy an adapter and fix it properly on your pc. adapters are not expensive, im guessing less than $5. a lot of sd cards come with them when you buy it.
plus, when in pc, you can use tools to check the card for errors and bad sectors. maybe partly bad, thats why you are having problems.

Okay now I got an adapter but still no use,, I cannot use chkdsk as some error comes, diskpart clean shows io error
Help.....

along with the previous suggestion, you can use this to make sure its genuine, and it will report bad sectors and other things.
you should use this first to make sure there are no issues with the card before attempting to fix something that may not be fixable.
