Ok im about to blow my lid.. this is the second time im experiencing this problem.
Out of no where my sdcard removes itself. Its actually happen to where my G1 freezes, I actually try to reboot and it goes back into sign in!! Wtf!! my contacts are all gone my Gtalk has to sign back in.. THIS SUCKS. I'm currently on Dude 1.3 Rc2.. I'm an loyal dude rom fan and this has never happen to me.
Its happened twice so far and since the last time it happened ive changed my sd's im using a 4gb class2. Dont tell its the class2 cause Ive been using the same class2 since ive had app 2 sd and never experienced this..
Has this ever happen to anyone or is it a known issue if someone, anyone shed some light on my problem i would greatly appreciate it!!
THanks a million!!
Do your apps remove themselves as well when you have to sign back in? Like a normal wipe? Have you tried this with more than one SD card? How long have you had the phone?
Sounds like it could be hardware related...but trying wiping and reinstalling. Also, try not using APPS2SD and see what happens...because obviously, when your SD card stops working on Apps2SD, the background processes being run off the card are going to crash and lock up the phone, and you're needing to sign in because that data was stored on the card as well.
My friend had a defunct phone where not only could the SD card wiggle a little inside its slot, but the entire slot itself came off the board/wiring it was sodered onto, so if you've dropped your phone on that edge, that could be your problem. Every once in a while, it'll connect, but it can still unconnect at any time, like what you're experiencing.
Ext2 format itself!!
I actually noticed that my sd card is formating itself to Ext2(all 4 gbs) everytime this happens!! and its hell to format it back to fat32 this is got me going NUCKIN FUTS!! Ive never dropped my phone the sd card slot is intact and ive had the phone for quiet a while..
Also i use paragon to partition..
is it a 4 gb micro sdcard?
Edit. never mind didn't fully read it. the size of your sd card is your problem. I had a 4 gb and it pissed me off soooo bad. I don't know what it is about then but the phone doesn't like them. sorry.
yes, class 2

yeah buddy you're out of luck. buy a different size sd card and you will be good to go. I almost was going to try sending my phone back to t-mobile but then I figured since it started when I changed to that size sd card and I heard that they were having so much trouble with them with this phone that I would try a different sd card first. Switched to a 8gb class 6 sd card that I bought at target and things couldn't be working better.
hope this helps.

No problem. Glad that I could help.
Sorry about the fact that you have to buy a new sd card though. Trust me I know that it sucks.
The different size answer is BS I have a 16 gig and it does it to me to.

I believe it happen to me on a 8gb class2 so you could have a point, we need a solution or aleast know whats causing the problem so we wont do it again.. now ill mention that i ran the JF1.5 ADP and it didn't happen at all i think its the new app2sd set-up that dude is using.. its gotta be because it never happen on any of his other builds>>
@ imbonez
did it automatically formatt your whole card to EXT2?

you don't have to be a **** about it. I am just trying to help. there is no need to say that what I said is "BS" I know that 4 gb sd cards have been known to have problems with these phones. I am not trying to say that is for sure his problem. I am just giving a suggestion that was given to me and it worked and his issues seem similar to mine.

sorry, I just found that rude. oh well. but if he is having a problem may not just be the sd card size, the problem may lay within the ROM as you said before. I would try talking to dude and see if it is something on his end. If it is I am sure he would be glad to know about it and fix it.
i had this problem with the 1gb microsd that came with my g1! i had a 16g sandisk class2, and it got fried, so i had to use the original 1g as a temporary...it did that all the time, i was using it for a week or two and at least once a day itd do that sh*t. I never figured it out, i just bought a Transcend 16g class 6...works great. Wish i knew the answer for you guys, though, sorry...Hope you get it figured out...

I don't have an answer, but I hope this can add more info to your puzzle.
Same happens to mine every now and then. No reformat though, just pops up an error saying that the sd card has been removed. Then my custom ringtone (which resides on the sd card) stops being used and it reverts the default.
Am running on JFv1.51 ADP and have the stock standard 1gb sd card that came with the adp.
I don't have apps installed on the card, just the cache.
big nu, I know that you say it doesn't matter if it is a class 2 or not but I would just try a class 6 sd card.

I'm sorry I never ment any disrespect in any way when i said its BS my bad.
This actually used to happen to me even before the cupcake update. I used to used a 4gb class 6 card which eventually got fried..so I'm waiting for a new 1 to come in
I know this will seem really strange, but I noticed a trend throughout all the posts....seems like the G1 doesn't like lower numbers Go with a 16 GB, class 6 card and call it good I never had a problem whatsoever with mine, even though I am currently using an 8GB, and Dude's 1.2b. Once I pick up my 16 gig, I will let (you) know how it runs.
i keep having the same problem and i am running jf 1.51 us no themes or anything
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?
So here's what happened. Last Sunday I go on my phone to see a no sd message in the notification tray. So i try to remount the card, no dice. I try to take it out and put it back in, no dice. I try rebooting, no dice. I try many different computers and an og droid. You guessed it, no dice! I thought I was out an SD card, and was kinda annoyed, but no biggie - it only had music, which I have backed up to my PC and Google Music. So I just left the card in my GS3 and put it aside for an hour. Then, when I go back to it to check a text, i think what the hell, why not. So I check the storage options, and there it is: SD card, 10 gigs free of 31.52. I have no clue what happened. From what I can tell, it died, and came back from the dead. The card works just fine, no data loss, no music skips, and no bad sectors according to windows. Has anyone had anything similar happen? additionally, can someone provide an explanation? I really want to know what the living hell happened.
A SD card ghost?

I had the same exact thing happen to me this past Sunday morning. Not sure what caused it or why. To be safe, I replaced the ext SD card as this is where I keep my ROM backups. The only strange thing is that where I kept my original backup in mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup via ROM Manager it now says UnbrickSDFileLocation. Anyone else have this issue or know of a way to fix it? Is it safe to delete this file which is in place of my original backup? Other than this issue my phone is running normally. Running CM 10.1 latest build & using TWRP instead of CWM.

Look it up in accessors, you guys have the Defective Sandisk Micro SD that gives a problem with the S3! Sandisk will replace it for free!
my sd card died with its 30gb memories but your post made me smile. hah really cool story
My SD card is a bit bugged recently. Basically, the SD card won't do anything such as accessing photos or music. Also, I tried moving some apps to my SD card, but that resulted with a "CONTAINMENT_ERROR" or something like that. Also, when I try to download apps, it says that there are no space in USB or SD memory storage. I know this is wrong because I don't have a USB storage, and my SD card is 1/3 full, so how can I fix this? I think that I require a formatting on my SD, but that's a last resort, with all my info on it. If that's the only way, please suggest this with an explanation.
If this helps, I remember killing some system processes such as some sort of signing thing which I believe is what signs the apps to install onto my phone. Please help me out here. Oh yeah, I can text and call fine as well as accessing the internet and wifi. Anything involving my SD card such as downloads, however, are a different story. Got suggestions?
Have you tried a card reader on your desktop to pull photos and music from it? If so and cannot then I don't know what to tell you but if you can, pull everything you want off of it then format SD card

Yeah, I tried formatting, but it doesn't seem to remove any data. I can move files to my cpu, but when i move apps to my SD card, or at least try, it says [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_BAD_MANIFEST] Do you know what that means by any chance? The moving also says [INSTALL_FAILED_CONTAINER_ERROR] too.

I would be a bit concerned that you can't format the card. Its a good sign that the computer can read the card but not good that you can't format it. See if you can try the card in another smart phone and if you have the same issue its just a problem with the sd card.

SD card not letting me add or delete files
I've been spending waaay to much time trying to get this phone to work as I had expected with previous phones (even my LG G2x) giving me less problems. I recently bought a Sandisk 32gb, class 10 micro sd card and after transferring old music, pictures and videos from my old LG G2x with a 16gb card, placing files from my computer back onto my S4 with the 32gb card is a nightmare! Photos are transferred but too out of order to try and deal with although it's more the music problem that has me bugging. I have some success after putting about 3gb or so onto the new 32gb sd card but after that, the sd card flips out and starts using special characters for file names.. Below I attached a screenshot of what I'm going through with another app called V1 Golf for Android. I'm stuck and any help is much appreciated. I can't delete anything on my sd card nor can I add. I've reformatted this card about 4 times now without success. Some say that a Sandisk have been nothing but problems for them, you think a Samsung card could be the fix?
I just have one question for you guys. Are you using a Galaxy S 4G or the Galaxy S4? If it is the latter, please take your questions
here for T-Mobile
here for Verizon
here for Sprint
here for AT&T
and here for International
as this section is for the Galaxy S 4G. Thanks and good luck.
When I putt he SD into my phone (currently running Paranoid KANG droid 2.32) I actually get nothing more than an occasional "SD has been removed" message. However, when I put the card into my old OG droid (running Cyanogenmod 7) i get the "unsupported file system" error. This has happened before, and I just had to wait it out before the SD recovered on its own. It is not doing this now. (yes I am an idiot for still using it despite my 32 gigs of internal storage). I have a feeling it is formatted as RAW due to a formatting issue, but I can't get anything else (pc or other devices) to recognize the card, other than my OG droid. So what I want to know, is if there is a way to force mount the card, or give a PC control over the sdcard path and force mount it some way through the PC (effectively turning my phone into an external card reader, because traditional methods don't work). I need a workaround for this, because there are dozens of pictures of my family, puppies, and friends on it that I don't want to lose.
Back up the card of you can, it sounds like it's dying on you. This phone really s3ms to kill cards, I've already gone through 2 32gig cards.
I had a 32GB Sandisk Ultra MicroSD card, and by chatting with Sandisk support, I am going to exchange my dead card for a working card. BTW, while you can, salvage the data you can, because it starts out like that, before becoming completely unusable.
I've went through two SanDisk. They are easy to work with, just get the ball rolling on the replacement.
Like the others said, get your data backed up as soon as you can.

wow. so now not only am I not able to use my phone on tmobile's 4g, I also cannot have external storage because the phone destroys it? what a tremendously idiotic piece of crap.
does anyone know about any apps or pc software that would help me get my data back? I have the card reader but the pc wants to format the card and so does the phone. I need, like, mad rescue gear.
thanks!
Wow... You can't use it on someone else's 4g because it was designed for a different network.
Also I've not had any problems whatsoever with my external.

Had 4 of these cards for a year now and not one hiccup. I'd say whatever is happening to them, its something you are doing to crap them, not the vendors. ALways backup your critical data, but if you treat these cards properly they will work and last as well as any.
No, you CAN use it on someone elses network, just not T-mobile as it doesn't do hdspa+ 1700, 1900... There's even a bounty out for that elsewhere on xda, to enable these bands, I believe it's currently at over $200.
And no, I'm not doing crap to the SD card. I've had it for over two years, used it on a different phone before that, never did anything different and it just died out of the blue. I'm not a noob, I would know if I had done something to it.
You would be pretty pissed off too if all your data was deleted, the phone you spent many many hours working to pay for did not work and when you ask for help someone blames you instead of helping. But I guess it's easier to blame than to help out right?
I get that part. However, don't get mad that it doesn't work fully for the network is wasn't designed for. That was my biggest part. I know there's a bounty. However, its been up for forever and nothing has come of it. I can't stand seeing people gripe about this phone because its not literally magic. Verizon's stuff is locked down, always has been, probably always will. Its a different radio/modem/antenna set than the tmo and at&t versions. It was meant to run on Verizon's network. Period.
