Anyone getting this error? SD Card removed unexpectedly?
I put the External SD Card I used in my Galaxy S3 for 2 years into new Xperia Z3 and within 10 minutes I was getting this error.
Removed card and formatted it. Put card back in and within a couple of minutes the same error?
Unsure what to do at this stage. I will try another card and see how that goes but I never had a single issue with that SD Card in the GS3 for 2 years.
It's a SanDisk SD Card. 32GB.
UBIQUE
Are you sure it is inserted all the way in? It has to sort of click into place.

I'm sure!!
I've put another card in since the OP. Different brand (Transcend). That seems to be working OK.
Possibly just an issue with the SanDisk but as I said it dos work perfectly in my older GS3

With a name like G1032 I suspect British Army and with your avatar I suspect Royal Artillery (RA)
same issue but resolved by changed to a new samsung evo sdcard.
i believe my previous card is good but only not compatible
I've had similar issues on low end phones, but not high end ones. Could be a software bug in 4.4.4 since I have seen this happen on a few phones. Then again, could be SD Card corrupt issues and you may want to get it replaced.
Same here. Has happened 2x in a week.

Ah.
No not RA. Just random numbers I picked a couple of years ago!!
Found a resolution to this.
Did two things, but don't know which one solved it.
Reformatted card to exFat and also stuck a small thin label to the back of the card to increase overall thickness of the card to make certain it stayed in place. 14 or so hours now without issue.

Some apps that I've pushed to my external SD card suddenly show up as not installed and I then have to reinstall from the market. Any ideas what's wrong?
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
Right now the phone is having problems when you store any apps on the SD card. Make sure they are all stored internally and that should solve your problems.
you have 4gb of app storage, there's no need for apps2sd especially since it breaks the apps, sd card and everything else.
But for me such as with evernote the data is stored on the SD card and the app fails when the SD card unmount itself and I have to resync it.

Yes, theres a bug in the software causing this to happen when apps are installed on the sdcard. Just make sure all ur apps are in internal storage and you should be fine, or is 4gb not enough?

Well until Moto provides a update you WILL continue to have the problems having the apps on your sd card. There is no way around it right now.

never use the atrix 2 to format your card, do it with a card reader in windows
I'm on my 2nd Atrix 2. The first one had trouble with the sdcard as most of the people are writing about on XDA so I got a replacement. The 2nd one works perfectly with the same sdcard installed. In addition to fixing the sdcard issues, wireless works more reliably and call quality is better indicating they may have had some hardware quality control issues vs. software issues. If you're within your 30 days return period I would suggest getting a replacement.
Returned for a skyrocket

I've been monitoring this and moved many of my non essential apps to my SD card for testing purposes. Then I set my phone so any updates to apps has to be approved, none of my apps nor is the phone auto update.
Worked fine for two weeks until I finally updated three apps. Then I lost 7 apps on the SD card

I've been doing some testing of my own and get the same results everytime as you. Motorola def has some bugs here and seems like the RZR might be having them as well. Hopefully this update will cure them.

I'm trying to be patient for that update. But, it's a tough bone to swallow spending $65 for an SD card just to store MP3s on. It would be nice to have some sort of rough ETA from Moto on the update (i.e., before my 30 days is up). I'd try a Samsung Infuse, but that would be taking a step backward in video and processor.

Nope. I'm guessing that when Moto pushes out the update ATT will have to put their blessing on it and we all know how quick that will happen.

Try a warranty exchange. I promise the issues you have seen tylercarter, is not exactly what everyone else has, especially with google contacts disapperaing. If you bought it at ATT they are decent if you go into a store. If you bought it at best buy forget it, even 1 day past 30 day they will tell you too bad so sad. ATT took care of me three times even at 40 days, they let me switch to a different phone each time. That was back in march so.... give it a try.
I hate to say it, but fixes for this issues with the SDcard most likely will never come. Now if we can get the source code for this phone, then WE can fix the issue much like cyanogen did those type of things for many phones. I will definitely do the fix for it once we get that.

I just got a notification on my galaxy s3 saying "Sd card blank or unsuported files.." if I open the notification it says are you sure you want to format sd card. I'm guessing the sd card just died. Is there anyway i can take my files off or are they gone. Any help soon would be appreciated.

Sounds like it's toast. Do you have an adapter you can plug it into your computer with? Try that, that would be your only way if it's still salvage-able. Thats what mine did when it crashed.
Do you think me rooting the phone caused it to crash

Probably not. Cards crash out of nowhere. Coulda been a defective card. How old is it? What are the other specs? Manufacturer, etc...

Yeah its from my droid x so 2 years, but it's pretty funny how it crashes one day after i root my phone. I haven't installed a ROM yet or unlocked the bootloader though.

Thats about how long my card from my X lasted, a little over 2 years... I think that's just their shelf life. I'd had mine in my S3 as soon as I got it and had it rooted and ROM'd a few times without a prob. Then one day it just didn't work.
Thanks for the help also are there any brand SD cards you would recommend 16 or 32 gb

I've always bought SanDisk myself. Read the reviews of each specific card tho, even SanDisk has had some crappy ones.
Had been frustrating with my new Sandisk Ultra 32g till one day I was about to send my S3 in to demand for replacement, I did a final test of the card on other S3 & phones - & it had the same problem - SO IT WAS THE CARD....
Called Sandisk Distributor & they said it is a known problem between S3 & several SD brands but Sandisk has resolved the issue with the new batch of cards that has just arrived in Dec 2012.
Changed the card one-for-one & plugged it in immediately - Problem solved. Card remains usable again....
I have not seen this done before in any posts and wondering. Would it be possible to dismantle the HOX and replace the sd card with a larger capacity? My sister in law gave me a HTC windows phone and said it went dead on her one day and threw it in the drawer. I played with it and never could get it back to working order. I scoured the net and found a way to replace the internal sd. So I put in a 1gb sd and now it works. Is there a way to do the same with the HOX , just curious.
unfortunately you cant.. the windows phone 7 devices used microsd card instead of nand inside em (although the sd slot wasnt accessible without disassembly), thats why it was possible to replace.. in this case the one x uses nand which is built into the motherboard, hence cant be swapped out like a microsd

From reading in the soff thread before it was achieved, if I recall correctly there are pads on the main board for a SD holder. Not sure if that's verified though.

so if the pads really are there, one would have to solder on the card slot to be able to insert a sd card?

I've had my samsung 64gb uhs1 for a week now. The kern that came with my rom didnt supoort exfat sd cards. So I flashed kt kernal and it works flawlessly. Stock kernal supports exfat btw.

As far as i am aware about that sd card, it should run flawless. I have one with the same specs, only it.s from Samsung. It.s even on sale the sd card, it would be a shame not to buy it. Have fun with it, and may you have no problems using it !
I have Scandisk extreme 64gb, I have had no issues with it its far quicker than any card our there as it reads and write 80mbs more costly than the rest but a massive thumbs up from me on this one

The "unmounting SD card" problem has more to do with the kernel than anything else. I've had a SanDisk card and it's worked fine with the KT kernel -- so there's really no need to buy a Samsung card.
I started to buy one from Amazon on black Friday. I put it in my cart and forgot about it. Now the price has jumped back up. What a dummy.
I suggest that you get the SanDisk Ultra 64GB, lifetime warranty and no hassle using it.
I have the SanDisk Ultra 64GB and it works great in 4.2.2, but then with 4.3 and 4.4 I had to root the phone to modify platform.xml to allow apps to save files to the SD card. Works for me since I have the Google Play Edition and it's moderately easy to root the phone, but it still messes with over the air updates, so I can't say that I actually recommend anyone else doing the same, unless you like to tinker.
Hey MPCookson, could you give me some info on how you modified the xml to get the 64GB cards to work on 4.4 roms...ive searched and searched for methods to get this to work and have been unsuccessful with everything ive tried...reformatted the card to exfat, tried every 4.4 rom out there and cant get it to pick up my card...any insight would be VERY helpful!

The unmounting only happens if your kernal doesn't support exfat sd cards. Only fat32. Stock kernal and kt kernals support exfat that I know of but others like ptmr's doesn't. So it's not an sd card issue.

Had a problem with a sandisk 32gb (1 year old). Was trying different formats fat32 / exfat with supported kernel. But then it started to get unexpectedly removed very frequently. Fortunately it seemed working good in other devices (pc, tablet). I backed up everything and started a RMA. They told my card was defective and accepted it as a damaged card (I tried to fix it formatting without success). I have read some bad reviews about sandisk cards but I think this issue was only affected by some batches. I really liked theirs RMA support and I bought a new one (64gb this time). Hope it lasts more than the other one.

Had a quick question about 64gb cards. I know a long time ago there was something the larger sd cards couldn't do because of the way they were formatted exfat not fat32. I can't remember or find what it was to save my life. Anyone know? I only ask because I bought one without thinking about this. Thanks

fat32 has a single file size limit of 4gb.
exfat has some ridiculously high single file size.
So there are no restrictions at all with exfat on larger cards?
