This has been asked in different forums but not specifically for the Inspire.
Now with any ROM that I use(don't know about stock)..my SD Card is consistently "Unexpectedly Removed". As you can imagine, this is a huge pain in the ass. Does anybody know what the hell is going on with this? I've formatted the SD Card with both the Phone and computer on separate occasions to see if that would have any effect...nope...still going on. Any way to fix this??
edit: Also thought I'd add that I'm using the cfx 4.2 builds and yes, I have tried to use different cards and got the same result with them as well.

Hi guys, did a sesarch on this but I couldn't find anything.
I am a typical flash-aholic. I have had good luck with most of my flashing as I have never had any of the problems I read about that other guys have, so I don't think I am doing something out of sequence or negligent that is causing my problem.
My external sd card fries on me aout once a week. I used to keep ALL my media files on it, i.e., music, pics, ect. But now I keep only files that may get me out of a jam if my phone quits (do to a funky ROM) and I am not near a computer.
This will not happen after a flash, but just out of no where when I am using it for daily use.
I will get a message saying external SD card is damaged, and I have to reformat. This happens everytime, for what ever reason the phone needs to scan the sd cards. For example, after I have disconnected from a usb connection with my PC. It generally will happen after it boots up.
I wonder if it is my phone, or just a lemon of an SD card.
It is an Sandisk 8gb HC.
THanks in advance for any responses.

Yes, as genius as your idea is, I thought maybe I could gain some insight here first before going out and buying another card.
If I knew what "monets" was, I would surely send some your way.

I've asked the same question before. No worries. I've tried 3 different microSD's. One was actually bad, but the other two seems perfectly fine in other devices. Yet when I reboot I'm sometimes told the card needs to formatted.
For you though, it could just be the microSD so ya I would try another.

Thanks for the response David.
This has happened about 5 times. Only once was I able to reboot again, and it be ok. The other 4 the card was truly fried and I had to format.
I will try a new card per your experience.
im having an issue all of a sudden where the external sd card wont delete anything i tell it too. i mount it to the computer and delete things that way and copy things on but when i disconnect everything is like it was nothing happened.
also formatting it in setting via storage did nothing all the files are left in perfect order
Ive even mounted to the computer, formatted in MY COMPUTER and it says its completely empty. Then i unmount it and guess what nothing was touched. can someone please help
I take that back even deleting within my files does nothing.
I just stuck in my sandisk 16gb class 4 and it isnt having any issues so it must be the 32 gb sandisk class 4 is the card messed up?
I'm using it with a skyrocket and im on skyics with the latest base. I'm posting here because this card has been in many other phones and never had an issue till now
pwnerman-
Reading your description of the issue .. have you tried physically removing it from the phone and inserting (either by adapter or multimedia slot as most computers have now-a-days) directly to your computer ?
Meaning .. have you tried doing this without it being in the phone ?
Yes .. I snapped at you in the thread and I apologize .. with all the BS going on in there, more and more people are getting on edge.
My answer in the thread also stands in regards to how the card is formatted. I honestly do not know your experience with computers .. thats why I threw it in there.
I have a Sandisk 64GB card in my Skyrocket running Seans latest ROM .. only way I could format my card FAT32 was actually using a single command line program called "fat32format.exe" .. and with ALL of Seans ROM's, I have never had any issues with SDCards at all.
Here is my original thread about the Sandisk 64GB http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1586295
I've done everything but attaching it directly to the computer because I have no adapter to do so. I bought one of the cheap dollar ones on Amazon a few hours ago. I've used that card in like 10 phones on triple as many roms and never had a issue till now. I do think it could be a Rom issue because the other Guy was having issues and this was the first time I did anything on the card since switching to the 4.0 skyics Rom.
I even put it in my captivate and it wouldn't even format in recovery mode. So I honestly don't know considering it wont work in the captivate either

well i sure packed a lot into that title huh..
micro sd card worked fine in phone (16gb sandisk class2), dropped phone, screen cracked, and got a new one. put the micro sd card in the new phone and it didnt see the sd card.. so i put it in my usb adapter and plugged it into windows7.. still nothing.. checked disk manager too.. that didnt show anything either.. i did some googling, and it lead me to think that the sd card could possibly have been encrypted (set a password) while it was in my old android gingerbread phone. would this cause it to not show up whatsoever? its possible i could have set a password once upon a time on the sd card and not remember doing it.. if i did i probably remember the password, but i cant get to a point where it even reads the phone to ask for a password..
this is everything i know.. anyone have any thoughts? ill give "Thanks" to any feedback, thanks. =/ so many memories on this card..
It could've easily been broken when the phone was dropped.

ive considered this.. but these things are tough as nails.. it was inside the phone.. the screen cracked, but the phone still worked.. i cant imagine one of these things stopping working anything short than it physically breaking..
Would surprise me too, but its an idea.

Did you partition it or something ?
Anyhow how could you not remember setting password ? It is possible that you forget the password itself but not remembering even setting it up is going too far i guess !
yeah.. i dont think i set any password.. but i have no idea how i can explain what happened.. nothing will see it.. what could cause that?
If Windows won't even detect it as a device then I'm sorry to say it's probably dead. Windows may not be able to read Linux file systems, but it should still be able to see the device no matter what the file system or if it's encrypted. In either case it would just see it as corrupted or unformatted, but still operational. Try another SD card in the phone.
EDIT: It also could be that your MicroSD adapter doesn't support SDHC. Did it work in this adapter before the event?

I have searched high and low on the issue, some reports of it from other users but no resolution. I would post in development forum but i'm not allowed to as a newbie.
When I insert a working SD card (FAT32) (verified on windows 7 PC, I have tried multiple cards) the notification appears "SD card damaged".
I keep updating the JB ROM and Kat Kernel to latest hoping it will go away but issue remains.
On earlier versions of ROM the SD card in dock was working fine, I have lost track of when the problem appeared because i don't use the SD card reader in dock very often.
I have tried a few tips I found in the forum like blowing air in sd card slot, reformatting card in different ways eg NTFS, doing a block check and fix errors in windows but nothing works.
I have seen others report the exact same problem but hasnt been picked up by developers yet as far as I can tell.
Anyone?
Happened to me. I bought a new card and put the "damaged" card (that worked in Windows but no other OS) in my camera. Both work fine.
I can't explain it but it's probably really damaged.

Thx for reply, i did try like 6 different cards and all the same, I feel sure its a software issue and not card or hardware. The symptoms I found are identical to reports i saw in the EOS4 JB thread but the posters didnt get a conclusive answer either yet, eg

I was looking through my logs and saw some odd lines saying that an SD card was inserted or used something along those lines. However, this is a brand new Samsung Galaxy 8 +and I have never inserted an SD card. Why would the logs say an SD card was inserted when I have never inserted one.
I understand it may say something about looking for an SD card but this actually says an SD card was inserted.
Can somebody help answer this question for me thanks.

Possible just a test during production, though I'd be surprised if they checked every phone these days but it might have been one in a sample batch.

I could see that, but I also noticed a few rooted programs on my phone, which I did not download, so I am seriously thinking I was hacked, but have no idea how. The odd thing is I did not download these rooted programs and I am sure they were not installed based on a backup from my previous phone. Someone else had to have put them on there.
Is there a for sure way i can tell in the logs if my phone was hacked from an external source? If so, how the heck do I make sure they do not get back in. Someone was telling me they had created an additional partition, which does not sound right since from my understanding they would have had to wipe the phone and started from scratch to do this, but the phone was not. I am really confused as to whats going on.
