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.

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
I realize that this SHOULD work, but I know there are issues with some memory cards, so I thought I would check. Has anybody used a 32GB microSD card (in an SD card adapter) in the dock?
I've just checked that for you with the MicroSD card that I'm normally using in the tablet itself - works flawlessly in the SD slot.
Yes. Even the incompatible microSD cards work with adapter in dock.

I can confirm this is the case with mine as well.
My guess is that the SD card slot is actually a USB card reader which its own controller. Just a guess, but would explain why it can read these cards when the integrated microSD cant.

And a good one, as the SD card reader in the dock is governed by a USB host.
It is still not recommended to go with NTFS in any of these, however.
uTorrent has been released for Android (beta). Unfortunately, at least for me, ANY torrent app completely lags the tablet to the point where I consider it unusable. I don't have an sd card. Has anyone tried any torrent app and downloaded files on to an external sd card? I want to know if it lags like that as well?

i use Adownloader, and it is capable of downloading to the memory card. While downloading 4 files at one time, i was able to do other things on the tablet without issues.
try ttorrent. Also, when you want to search within the app you will need to dl a plugin, but I've never had problems. It doesn't do a great job of correcting spelling, etc. but more or less solid all around.

What speeds were you getting? My tablet was already unusable when I was downloading at my max speed (6mbit/s). However, when I'm transfering files between my laptop and my tablet (at 20mbit/s) the tablet is not unusable, but not fast either... Is this all because of the IO issues?
Yep, just got the same problem with torrent and internal storage, it's the same with ttorrent btw.

You should try using aTorrent - i have downloaded stuff onto the tablet without any problems + it's free.
My formula: aTorrent + isohunt.com = works
I haven't downloaded several files at the same time but it worked fine with one file downloading + using a couple of other apps.
I've used every torrent app out there, and they all lag my device when I'm downloading.... Are you downloading to an external sd card?

I've used tTorrent to save to a microSD card and it worked great for me

I'm using ttorrent to microSD card and it works great. Before I was using the internal storage but it was making the tablet unusable. I bought the microSD card just for that.

Alright I am convinced to buy a microSD card just for this reason. Kind of stupid I have to do this, the IO problems really shouldn't be there, but alas. Thanks... Now if only someone could tell me if my Samsung Captivate supported 64gb cards...

The new version of atorrent allows downloading to the card. And I did not experience any lag.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk 2
Every torrent application will lag your phone/table it you're downloading to your primary SD Card. This is becase Androids needs to preallocate the full size of the downloaded files. So when Android zero filles 2Gb of files, then the read/write speed for other applications on the internal storage will drop, thus you'll get a lot of lag. Once the preallocation is over the phone comes back to live again (that is if you're not downloading with +10Mb/s speed of more).
Only way to avoid the lag is to have an external SD Card and download to it. BTW you can try my new torrent application TDM. Maybe it'll suit your needs better? (it has no problems with downloading to extarnal cards and it has a file manager to allowes you to manage the file on multiple cards with ease).
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.

Settings >> Storage >> Format

i've tried formatting it on the computer in exFAT and NTFS, the only 2 options windows offers

did a bit of googling, found a program that will format into fat32 format since windows 7 and 8 wont. finally works!
I install the usb connector and insert a usb memory and copy some files, everything works fine. Until the next time I want to do it. Then the connector is recognized but the usb memory is not. Inserting it revokes no response from the system. I'm forced to reboot in order to see the memory stick again. I always tap the memory stick reminder in the notification bar before removing it. Does anyone else encounter the same problem?

I don't generally have an issue but I'm not rooted.
Is it formatted as fat32 or exfat?
There was an app in a post just like this one that someone recommended to help with this issue.
Issue noted in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2033084&highlight=usb+memory
.
I'm not rooted, stock all the way. I'll have to check the USB stuck since I'm not sure what the formatting is, but I believe I formatted it on my Win 7 laptop and that may default to exfat.
Sent from my GT-P3113 using Tapatalk HD
Nope, a lot actually default to NTFS...
Did you just rip it out of the note or stop the usb drive from inside settings>storage usb drive>unmount? This may make a difference...
I unmounted it, but from the notification bar, the system responded by saying that the stick was safely removed. Could it be the OTG adapter? I use the one I got with my GT-P3113 but they are both Samsung tablets and it is recognized when inserted.
Should mention that I use the usbstock in my Transformer without any problems so I doubt that it is the formatting.

OTG host cable support for input devices on Jelly Bean is spotty. As was noted in the Google Code forums in January, Google has now modified it's Nexus specs page to drop references to OTG, BT support now is the only method mentioned for attaching devices. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=41206
