SD card unexpectedly removed error.....

Ugh. This is so annoying. I have a HTC inspire all stock. Just the newest update from ATT. Also when I got the phone about 2 months ago I purchased a 16 gig class 2 sandisk SD card and had this error over and over.
So I formatted it in the phone and had zero issues for a month. Now today we went on a trip and I used Google maps with navigation and once I got to my destination and closed out maps and did other things on my phone all of a sudden guess what came back. Yep. SD card removed. This time I received it like 5 times. The last time I pulled both the SD card and battery also I uninstalled the update to Google maps and so far its fine. I just wish they would freaking figure the problem out I'm getting annoyed with it.
Anyone else have this issue yet or a fix for it?

That is pretty dang weird! I have a bone stock Inspire as well. I am using just the 8 gig class 4 SanDisc card that came with the phone and have not had that problem. However, I have not used navigation and only use data when I'm on my home WiFi network. Sorry I can't help you further, maybe one of these other guys on here will be able to help you correct it. I would say try backing up the entire SD card to your computer, to back up all you files on it, and try reformatting from your computer. When I say from your computer, I mean take it out of the phone and get it connected directly to the pc. If that doesn't work, I'm all outta options. Good luck, and let us know if that works or not.

Yeah I will try it when I get home on Sunday. There are a ton of posts on googles site for developers with this same issue across a ton of other phone manuacturers. Some say its 2.2 issue but idk. I am so mad now its doing it again. Now I can lock the screen and 20 minutes later ill unlock and it does the SD card again. I managed to unmount it before it did it again. I wish Google would fix it.
Here is the post I'm talking about. I know it says LG ally but if you see all the posts there are a lot of them different brands.

Whenever I used weatherbug on my Inspire, I was had the SD card unmount problem...

Hmmm. Let me uninstall weatherbug its worth a shot. I have had it on my phone for a few weeks now without issue tho.

I would wonder if it doesn't have something to do with the slower data transfer speeds of class 2 flash media, but that may only effect the ability to record 720p video.

Hopefully it's a REAL 16 GB card from SanDisk, and not a counterfeit card.

Well I deleted weatherbug app and no SD card inexpecdly removed error. Oh well that's weird. And its a real card I purchased it at Hastings in Richmond ky.
Also slower speed hasn't effected anything. I recorded some videos of my son playing and it was just fine.

I used to have that issue all the time when I was on froyo. I haven't had it at all on gingerbread. I think it is an app2sd problem in froyo.

i saw something similar but with the sim card...
i think it was the door

Well the error is back. God this is annoying as Hell. Once the screen locks when it goes to sleep I guess it comes right back. I tried installing contract killers this morning and it caused it to do this again. So I deleted it and it won't stop....

Do you happen to be running the "Flight Control" game app? It can do strange stuff if you leave it paused for too long (forcing a battery-pullout).

nope no flight control app... well i had to back up my photos and videos online so i can format the card in the phone.... its been about 30 minutes so far so good.. i hope this is fixed... sucks because i lost all my progress on all my angry birds games and everything lol...

Still getting this crap. It's fine unless I access the card on a game. If I play contract killer the first time I open it works fine. But if I close and go back it will say checking integrity of the file it will close out and POP up the sd card error. You guys think heat can do this? It was fine till I drove with maps on and the battery got warm. I just wonder if the card is going bad?

Ok so weird. Now that I am home with a WiFi connection I havent received this error at all in 24 hours..... ugh of course when I was in the woods (literally) this past weekend it flipped out and almost messed up my whole weekend. Now I'm home its fine. FML

Well that's pretty strange..
Do you get the same sort of problem if your phone is in Airplane mode?
Do you have a mini/micro SD card reader for your PC (or another phone) to try the card in? If so, maybe you could try playing a large video file directly from the card, just to see if stays stable.

Yeah I can try that today. That's a good idea never thought to do that. Now airplane mode I never tried but so far its been two days and no sd card error. I do know I am going to start backing that Dang thing up from now on tho after this.

You may want to root and install a gb ROM. There are a bunch out there.

when the error pops out press it on the notification bar and while its working to fix the problem unmount the card under settings at the same time format it and it should work ok after

Card errors.

I'm getting a lot of card unexpectedly removed errors. I was wondering if there is something known to cause this. I have reformatted the card a few times after experiencing this error using Windows 7. The card will work for a while, and then it happens again. I have a 16gb Sandisk card. It's only class 2. I wonder if it's the problem. I never had a single problem with it in my Tilt 2. I have about 9gb of music on it. I may scale that back to about 5gb. Also, when I place files on the card using the card reader rather than directly onto the phone in USB mode, I seem to get better results. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I've got the same card with the exact same issue. It's enough to make me want to pull my hair out I do know that

I used to have that problem till i switched ROM s. Try Leedroid's, TB fusion, or Cm7 nightlies with Lord mod ue kernel. I had no issues with those.

SD Card Copy Speed

I can't seem to make the skyrocket copy any faster than 1mb, sometimes not even above 600kbs. Any ideas why?
I'm using slimbean 3.0 and the regular CWM flashed from rom manager.

2 possible solutions:
Download SD Speed Increase from the Market, that might work or
Go into Settings > Storage > Hit the menu key and choose USB Computer Connection and change it to MTP (this works very well for me).

What class is your sd card? Class 10 it's the fastest. It only copies at 10mbps. My skyrocket copies at half that around 5mbps. Unless I use cwm then I get the full 10.

Not sure on the class but when I plug it into my microsd to sd adapter I get speeds up to 6mbs
edit: looks like class 4

Just threw the card into my xperia play and it's cruising at 3mbs
Copy rate of 15mps >.<
Edit: Plugged in my class 10 card and I get the same copy rate of 600kps or less.
I'm gonna try the sd booster app
Edit: no luck
I'll try a different rom tonight, see if that makes any difference

Files gone..

Many of you have compplained about sd card corrupting i havent experienced that but this, morning i woke up to my music and videos, missing from my sd card. I know they were on there because i listened to a song with my headphones on, and when i laid down for sleep i watched 30 mins of a training video for certification test ill be taking next month.
Weird right.

Is this a question?

Lol I meant to ask if anyone has seen behavior like this? That's about 10 GB gone and only 512 mb in lost.dir.

So the files are actually gone? Did you lose everything, or just some of your files?
How are you checking if the files are still there? File explorer app on the phone, plugging in the phone to your PC - or perhaps the best option, pull the card and use a card reader?
Very strange indeed. I've used this phone for 8 months or so - while I've always had the same SD card in it, I've never had data go missing.

I was able to recover about 4GB, it was that little because i copied some files over while getting dressed in the morning (not realizing that files had been lost). The training videos were about 6gb but i didnt really care about those since i have a subscription to cbt. Most of photos and videos are lost now tho. Something told me to dd this sdcard the day before.
I used photorec on linux and recuva in a virtual machine. I put the sdcard in a usb card reader.
The only theory i have is that my battery died because i didnt charge it that night (was at about 30%), and it didnt shut down properly in time. You would think it would have time to shutdown properly but that's the only reason I could come up with.

Music app/ External SD acting funny

So....I got a 64gb SD card for my M8. I had my music on my internal SD but decided to free up space by making use of the 64gig card.
I deleted everything off of my internal (music-wise) and used a SD adapter and dragged and dropped about 5gb of music onto my card (in a folder I named Music).
My Sense Music app doesn't play the songs. Well...it plays but no sound. Sound is fine after frantically testing via Pandora, YouTube and Google Music.
After a few reboots and an overnight settle, still no dice. I'm fine as long as Google music plays my stuff that's on my device...but geez. What a weird problem.
Anyone else get that? Care to try?
I have a new sandisk ultra 64gb micro SD card. Class 10 and all that jazz.

Kit Kat, which is the operating system on the M8 does not play well with Ext. Cards.
Check out this thread and try the solution in my last post.

I had the exact same problem you're describing. I fixed it by flashing the BoneStock ROM. Now all is working and I have this awesome ROM that is a pleasant improvement over stock Sense 6.

+1 on the bone stock rom, easy way to solve a lot of these issues. Otherwise, root, insecure kernel, then run sd fix app.
