Earlier today my Inspire started throwing "memory card unexpectedly removed" errors. I've removed and reinserted the card, rebooted my phone several times, to no avail. It will detect the card after reboot but couple minutes later it will throw the error again. Any suggestions?

Have u tried putting the card in a pc? Is the memory card the one that came with the phone or a less expensive but has more storage card?

Yes, my laptop recognizes it but it's kinda slow to read. It's not a stock card, I've had this 16GB card for while.

You may want to consider doing a full, not quick, re-format of the card using your computer.
Always be sure to unmount ("safely remove hardware") the card in the OS, whether it's on the phone, or on your computer, before removing it physically. Not doing so corrupts the card.

I wasn't suggesting that you had removed it, just suggesting a good practice to follow that avoids corrupting the card, along with something to try to get it to stop throwing errors: a fresh format.
Why not get/borrow another known working card to test out whether the behavior continues?
That'll tell you right away where the problem is.

That is a sign of an SD card going out in general terms. I had it happen to mine a week ago, but it only did it in camera modern, then eventually migrated to everything. Could put it in my computer and read it but it read extremely slow. Finnaly stopped working all together.

Weatherbug caused this problem for me.

There you go, OP. It doesn't get confirmed much clearer than this.

Prices always come down. I've been holding out with my original 8gb until the 32gb come down to just the right price.

Don't remember the brand but I just saw one on Amazon for $55.00 shipped with Prime. I don't really need 32GB, so I'll just settle for a cheaper 16GB
im trying to transfer a new rom(327mb) to my SD CARD to flash but its taking way toooo! long.. it receives by 500KB/S now, before it was MB/S. its taking 10minutes to transfer it. is something wrong with my SD card?
How good of a computer do you have? Try not multitasking like 10 things at a time and transferring if that doesnt help, you must have a lot on your sd card try clearing uneeded files.
If that doesnt work, the final solution, buy a better sd card...

Welcome to Class 2 SD cards. Now you know why they're so inexpensive.
I have a transfer rate of about 5mbs...I'm fine with that...

I had that problem when I backed up my SD card before making it a gold card. Everything came off the card at 18MB/s but it went back on at 600 KB/s. The card has continued to work fine since, though.
I have the 8gb that came with the phone.

were you having these problems before the new memory card? could be a faulty memory card; try swapping with a different one to see if you get the same issues.
No I wasnt having the probs I was using a 16gb sd card I have tryed that same problem persists

Brand and speed of cards?
You may want to check the brand and speed of your cards. Also check to see if the system keeps unmounting the SD card as the USB configuration will do that on a Play. The only reason I had failures is that the cards were not fast enough and were older cards I used elsewhere. Try a new card with a high speed rating.
I'm running cwm7.2 lately the SD card icon appears.it says damaged/ or ready to remove.sometimes I can mount SD,but usually I have to reboot.problem usually happens when I put it in belt holster.been using holster for awhile with no pro
blems.
Have noticed rom has been acting buggy lately.about same time SD card problem started.has anybody had this or similar problem.

Back up your sd card first and then format it. See if that helps.
Hey guys, I just recently saw when I turned my phone on, it says sd unexpectedly removed, when in fact it is in there. If I take it out and re insert it, it doesn't say anything? I would try to use this on my laptop but I know the reader on my laptop is busted (plus I'm at work). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Not sure, I had a 32gb card myself and it started acting weird on me. Doing th e are thing, acting like it wasn't there, needed formating or some such. I switched to my old 16gb card from my droid X and it worked perfectly. I think not was just a bad card. It's possible as the prices came down and these cards got cheaper the quality control has dropped. . I might add that that was my second 32gb card The first one wouldn't even work in my laptop when i tried to format it and got so hot that it burned my fingers when took it out!
Short Story is you may have a duff card. Try an old sd card just to make sure it's not your phone.

I know it's not my phone, tried my friends card and it worked. If I insert my card in his phone it says blank sd card and when I try to format it, it says in know media state....

Sounds like a duff card. What brand of card is it?
I'd say as a last ditch attempt when you can try using a laptop and make sure it's not formated to exFAT. When mine went bad my laptop wouldn't even let me format it

I had a generic 32GB card workinf for me perfectly from day one, but recently I bought a SanDisk 64GB and I can't get my phone to recognize it (my computer does), I'm thinking it has to be in the right format, which formats will the phone recognize and which won't it?
Try it in cwm. There is a page that does give info on partition and speed somewhere on the net.
Afterward, fix permissions.

Fat32 if you intend to be a rooted user
Fat32 is the stock format OOB and will work well with all devices.
Ext4 is androids partition for apps.

How do you format on the phone?
Settings >> Storage >> Format
