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...
-BMFC
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
Hi guys, did a sesarch on this but I couldn't find anything.
I am a typical flash-aholic. I have had good luck with most of my flashing as I have never had any of the problems I read about that other guys have, so I don't think I am doing something out of sequence or negligent that is causing my problem.
My external sd card fries on me aout once a week. I used to keep ALL my media files on it, i.e., music, pics, ect. But now I keep only files that may get me out of a jam if my phone quits (do to a funky ROM) and I am not near a computer.
This will not happen after a flash, but just out of no where when I am using it for daily use.
I will get a message saying external SD card is damaged, and I have to reformat. This happens everytime, for what ever reason the phone needs to scan the sd cards. For example, after I have disconnected from a usb connection with my PC. It generally will happen after it boots up.
I wonder if it is my phone, or just a lemon of an SD card.
It is an Sandisk 8gb HC.
THanks in advance for any responses.
The Scientific Method
-----
1. Swap out SD card with another.
2. Observe.
3. Q: Does the card work fine?
-A) Yes
-B) No
[Conclusion]
If A), then your first card is fried.
If B), then your phone is screwy.
I can has monets now?

Yes, as genius as your idea is, I thought maybe I could gain some insight here first before going out and buying another card.
If I knew what "monets" was, I would surely send some your way.

I've asked the same question before. No worries. I've tried 3 different microSD's. One was actually bad, but the other two seems perfectly fine in other devices. Yet when I reboot I'm sometimes told the card needs to formatted.
For you though, it could just be the microSD so ya I would try another.

Thanks for the response David.
This has happened about 5 times. Only once was I able to reboot again, and it be ok. The other 4 the card was truly fried and I had to format.
I will try a new card per your experience.
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?
I have the 2 GB one that came with my Note installed. I decided to root it today, got CWM installed. Now I am attempting to install a ZIP from my SD card, but the computer only sees the internal storage, and CWM apparently doesn't have an option for that...
Any suggestions?

Can you tell us what format the sd card is in.
.
How do I check that?
It's whatever it came as. I literally took it out of the box and put it in the tablet.
Sorry I'm new to the tablet world! I'm much better with my S3
Wow... Sorry guys. I guess I'm not all the way awake yet. I forgot I had taken the card out because I meant to put my spare 32GB in...
So of COURSE it doesn't recognise anything. Because there's nothing there to recognise.
Can I delete this topic? I'm embarrassed. -_-

Lately I have seen many posters asking to have there posts removed, in this case it maybe OK as OP is embarrassed but in other postings the OP says something like this "I figured it out please remove this posting" I think they should be telling the rest of us what they did to fix the problem like this OP did even though it was embarrassing.
Many of us have the same issues or a brain fart from time to time that we solve ourselves but your mistake or brain fart may help somone else.
Soooooo..... emirae, I once could not find my glasses because they were on top of my head. LOL
Well yeah. If I had actually figured out a helpful solution, I would definitely leave it up in case anyone else had the same issue.
But obviously I was just a fail this morning!
Dear Friends,
Just switched from the HTC Mate 9 to the Sapphire Blue unlocked HTC U11 and am encountering the strangest issue. My Sony 64gb SD card, which is read perfectly fine with just about any other device I've tested on including my Mate 9 says SD Card is corrupted when I boot it with my HTC U11. Anyone else has ever seen this issue?
I've had my SD card for years! It's a Sony. Have used it on Note 3, 4, LG G3, G4, V10, V20, Axon 7, Mate 9, S6 Edge+, S7 Edge and many others and it's ALWAYS worked flawlessly... But why is it doing this only on my HTC U11?
Any help would be appreciated!
Die you try to format it with SD formatted an check again. Maybe there really is something that has been corrupted over the years and is popping up now.

We saw that issue on the HTC10 a lot, seems it started there.
Had the issue myself as well as a lof of others I know and there were also a lof of reports about in the htc threads.
Using SD Formatter and format it with the overwrite option worked for me temporaily.
Sometimes for just for weeks, then for a couple of months. No idea what brings the error back, if its a faulty SD, the phone, the combination of sdcard and windows.
...Oh now that I list all those, TWRP could be the issue @nkk71
Maybe @Sneakyghost has some more ideas.

Not sure you saw that one internal beta changelog from HTC, @j to the 4n - early U11 changelog. They "fixed" unmounting issues there.
That was a major clue actually. I was very happy to see that. It tells us it's not remotely related to the sdcards we use. It's entirely up to HTC to get their drivers and software set up properly.
Not much we can do.
Try running a chkdsk on the card using a card reader

Have a friend who had the constant unmounts/mounts on the 10, not sure if/how he eventually fixed it, though he did drop his phone several times over, so couldn't rule out a hardware issue either.
But the corrupted sdcard notification sounds similar to what I sometimes see (including me) in MultiROM, eg:

Someone from the team posted that change log a little while ago - was gone again quickly but that one thing about the unmounts caught my attention. I think we would need more info to know for sure that HTC was trying to address that issue. But I'm a bit more cautious now with assuming my card was damaged...

My friend has a completely untouched (ie never unlocked/modded/etc) 10, he *all of a sudden* started getting those random unmounted/mounted notifications, nothing was changed (except the few drops a couple of weeks earlier )
He also saw the OTA update that said something like *Fixed sdcard unmount issues*, ... yay yay :laugh: yay :good:
...2 days later: :crying: (yeah still same issue)
Never happened while I was around, so can't really provide any insight, but for sure, one of the OTAs had that comment specifically there, and considering HTC's excellent track record for "descriptive changelogs"
it must have been there for a reason, even if it didn't fix the issue

I've had my card unmounts a couple times already on the U11, but no corruption errors, just the unmounts warning and then it goes back to normal, I have to re do my ringtones and such after though.

I'm just trying to differentiate between the "Corrupt sdcard" notification and the "Unmounted/mounted" notifications, sometimes we may think both are the same, but they're not,
The "Corrupt sdcard" could be triggered by any number of reasons, including a corrupt sdcard, or a sdcard marked as dirty (and I don't have the expertise to say why, but let me just say the *driver in charge* considers it corrupt, true or false is another thing)
Unmount/mount would look to me as if the card is really being physically no longer seen by the OS (whether that's a hardware or software fault, I can't say), that could eventually lead to the above.
But still 2 distinct scenarios

The constant unexpected unmounts cause the cards to go corrupt. That's how I see it.

Eventually, yes, I couldn't agree more.
Have a card constantly unmounting during a write operation, and eventually you'll loose some files, possibly the whole card, it may even be very faulty card, I've had 2 128GB straight out of the box and just bad, you can try to wipe them, nuke them any which way you like, if block 0 (from my perspective) is hit, say bye bye to it.
As I mentioned, I'm just pointing out 2 different problems (which may eventually become 1), the corrupt sd card vs the constant unmounts.
Neither is good for sure unfortunately, but they are still 2 different issues, imho.
Friends,
Very nice to see you all respond and share your experiences and thoughts. I agree with the one poster, this is the Corrupt SD card issue and not unmounting.
While I appreciate all the advice around formatting my card... I feel unsettled about that proposition, especially since every other phone and computer is reading it fine... What's this about? ?
Really disappointing experience from HTC, I was excited to return to them after the Rezound days... But this is a highly basic and disappointing issue ?...

Hello
I had the same problem, I could solved :
1. Retire the microsdxc from your phone and backup in your pc
2. Re insert the card in the phone, when the phone shows " SD corrupted" allow to format IN THE PHONE
3. Then go to " storage" and do a safe eject
4. Again, transfer the files from your pc to the microsd
5. Power off your phone, place the microsd and them power on
Since these day i don´t have more problems with the micro sdxc card
I hope that works for you
Cheers
I had an odd issue. When I got my U11 I put my not so old SanDisk 64gb card in it with no problem. A few days later I purchased a new card and transfered all my stuff over to it. I wanted to change notification sound but when I went to select the new sound my phone went looking for my old card (id 56xxx) with a message something like can't find blah, blah, blah. My new card ID starts with ID 3xxxxxx. Unmount, format anything I tried didn't work. I finally RUU'd back to stock (I was rooted) and all is well. Strange....

That's normal. Sdcard gets a unique number-letter ID assigned by Android. It is created new for every sdcard and it is created new after each Rom flash or RUU (not: dirty flash). Apps set to look in one card will complain when you change to another. Or clean flash and then restore apps with TiBu for instance.
Guys appreciate the responses. But we all agree that there is no way to fix this issue without either formatting your card which is being read right by every other device or apparently RUU ing to stock?

SD formatter V4 from sd association fixes that for me, until it comes back. No card ever works without that. Tried about 5 totally different cards so far.

Thank you for reporting your issue Sir... What a disappointing situation on this otherwise, amazing phone! Hope HTC is aware...!
