My Inspire no longer detects memory card

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.

Double post. Sorry.

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.

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

transferring files to sd card too slow

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.

Phone video freeze

Has anybody had there phone freeze when using the video recorder mine keeps doing it any solutions?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App

Are you using any roms? What about saving to a SD card? If so, what speed class is your SD card? Sometimes even stupid small things can cause headaches.

By any chance, do you have very little space on the storage that the video is being saved to?

No roms and its stock I have it going to my external SD card 16 gig class 2. The card is empty have nothing on it

Maybe it has something to do with the speed of your sd card (class 2). If you can replace that card with a class 6 or 10 and see if the problem clears.

SD card issues

So after doing some the mods from RomTools... all of the sudden my SD card is write protected??
Can can see files but can not add or delete. I've taken it out....try to fix from Win 7...still write protected...then I tried to format from comp.. no go...then I tried right in the phone...nope.
Tried fixing permissions multiple times and it's the same.
Any ideas or suggestions?

look on the card itself most full sized sd cards have a switch of sorts to write protect them on the physical card itself. ive never seen one on a micro-sd card but it cant hurt to look.
if thats not the case then something in your SD Card broke. Micro-SD cards should not have any way to write-protect them from a format.

Yeah..no switch on the micro
I don't even see how it got write protected

then your card is most likely shot. if its fairly new (and you dont mind wasting time) try calling up the manufacturer and requesting a replacement.

Ah crap
What I feared...it's a older card used between different phones I've had.
I appreciate the help

Don't take any chances and get it warranty replaced ASAP. Even if it starts working again it might give you trouble down the line. The bottom line is that it shouldn't be doing what you say it is doing at all. This shows the importance of the warranty because stuff like this will happen no matter which phone you have, especially with early releases.

^+1. You've paid for an expensive phone, that's not acceptable, regardless. Just get it replaced anyways. Unless it's a standard issue everyone's experiencing, which I doubt.

Take a photo screen shot next time it happens as proof. You should be able to walk into ATT and get it replaced.

I don't think it's the phone try another sd card before returning it... My friend has this issue with his s3 too he had a dying SD card just backup everything before it fails

if u r using Sandisk micro SD its kinda suck ( just search on Google about Sandisk Micro SD's problems ) , u can try to get another one Under warranty ( if u still have it )
