for the last couple days I have experienced three times of the same issue - my SD card was unexpectedly unmounted, while during normal operation
I have tried power-off and power-cycle, but my Inspire would not mount the SD card back. I was only able to recover by powering of the phone then physically re-inserting the card.
Has anybody experienced a similar issue? Thanks
I think this is a common issue with the stock sd card. It happens to me every now and then too. You could try an after market. I hear folks seem to have the best luck with san disk.
Mine did the same thing when I first got mine. I formatted it and moved to a custom rom. Haven't had it happen since. It's a 16 gb sandisc that I've had since my lg incite a couple of years ago.

it kept happening to me too so i just took my phone back and got a new one. havnt had one problem with the new unit at all. the guy at the store said he had replaced a few others for the same issue.
All I did was format the SD card and deleted any app2sd apps from the phone and its fine now. 2.2+ has app2sd stock so I think it causes conflicts if you install one from the market.

I was having this same issue with my Inspire, with increasing frequency up until today. Today, my phone wouldn't even mount the sd card. I could mount it in clockwork recovery and see the contents on my computer (via usb), but once booted into my Android Revolution ROM, no luck.
To test whether the problem was the phone or the card, I stuck the card in my other phone - an Aria - and the card from that phone in my Inspire. Both worked! After that, I put the original card back in the Inspire, and lo and behold it worked!
Lesson learned: if your sd card stops working, put it in a different phone for a minute.
I'm getting a lot of card unexpectedly removed errors. I was wondering if there is something known to cause this. I have reformatted the card a few times after experiencing this error using Windows 7. The card will work for a while, and then it happens again. I have a 16gb Sandisk card. It's only class 2. I wonder if it's the problem. I never had a single problem with it in my Tilt 2. I have about 9gb of music on it. I may scale that back to about 5gb. Also, when I place files on the card using the card reader rather than directly onto the phone in USB mode, I seem to get better results. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I've got the same card with the exact same issue. It's enough to make me want to pull my hair out I do know that

I used to have that problem till i switched ROM s. Try Leedroid's, TB fusion, or Cm7 nightlies with Lord mod ue kernel. I had no issues with those.
Hey everyone I have a quick question I recently bought a SanDisk micro sdhc 16gb class 4 card I'm having trouble now everytime I take a picture it will save but It will show as a triangle with the "!" And I can't see my pictures my music works fine could it be this card is not compatible? I tried reformatting the card n putting my picture and music back on and still have the same problem any suggestions? I'd gladly appreciate it! Thanks

Did the new sd card work at all for you?
Was it formatted as FAT32?
Can you use a file manager app like Astro to navigate and see any files on the sd?
Try reformatting the sd

Anybody having issues with their SD card unmounting repeatedly?
I would be listening to music or using another app, then I get a notification saying the SD card unmounted unexpectedly. To fix this, I would have to reboot. Sometimes rebooting once doesnt actually solve the issue.
I do have to say that when I boot into recovery (CWM) the card is present and readable (I am able to reflash ROMs from it).
I found similar threads for other devices, but there seems to be no solution offered.
When this problem occured, I was runnning ARHD 3.6.2 (not sure if that has anything to do with it).
Any solutions to this?
Thanks!
Can u tell us which firmware version your on, stock? android revolution XE?
Same here :/

Mine just did this to me tonight. Now when you insert it I see the "Preparing SD Card" then about 2 seconds later "Removed SD Card". I had been using a SanDisk 8 GB class 2 thats been through 2 BlackBerry phones before this one, so I popped the Kingston 8 GB class 4 the phone came with in there and voila, it sees the card. Im thinking my card may have randomly gone belly up on me, but I will know more after I get a reader for my PC.
Just wondering if anyone else has had issues with SD cards randomly doing this with this phone. It seems I've read a lot about SD card problems with these phones while searching, I don't want to have to worry about losing all my data as much as I am now. The card was rock solid for about 3 years in the other phones, and I've had my Sensation less than a month.

This normally happens to me right before I start an app that would read or write into the data in the card: when I start playing MP3s, start games or apps installed in the card, accept a bluetooth file transfer, send a file from the card thru bluetooth, etc
I happens at least once a day. Generally, a simple reboot works to get the card back, but if it doesnt, I would have to open the cover and manually take out then reinsert the card.
I'm pretty sure it's not a hardware issue, though this is the first card I've used on my Sensation (bought brand new for use specifically with the phone).
Does branding of the card have anything to do with it? I admit that I got a brand that was slightly on the cheaper side, but had a lifetime warranty. If it matters, the card is made in Taiwan.
I haven't changed cards, as I'm still hoping this might just be a software bug. The reason I say this is because the very first time this happened, I had installed Always Flash, which I found to be an app that I could do without. I forced stopped the app and uninstalled it, and that's when the bug hit for the first time.
Hope someone knows the answer to this...
Thanks!
That's what happened to me, I opened titanium to do a backup and got a card removed unexpectedly error. The phone has never recognized the card since.

I've been having the same problem with my sensation xe. Sometimes it'll be fine for a week or more, and then it may unmount the card randomly 2 or 3 days in a row. Normally I have to shutdown, pull the battery and physically remove and re-insert the card to get it to remount, as just rebooting has never worked for me.
Tonite, even this wouldn't work. I ended up having to boot into 4ext and mount the card in there before rebooting the phone.
I really do hope someone can work out the reason our phones are doing this.
For the record, I'm using ARHD 6.7.0 and a 32g class 10 Strontium card.
anybody found a solution for this?... I also have the same problem. Tried several sd card and stock/no stock roms. Same thing every time.
I think it is a hardware prob.
I had this happen to me before but found a solution for mine. I checked my SD card and it was not locked in it's caseing so it was unmounting randomly. I removed the SD card and replaced making certain it was locked into the caseing and it's never happened again. It's definitely worth a try to check your card and make absolutely sure it's locked into the caseing. Would not hurt to check. For me, this solved my problem. My card was in the caseing but not locked in, this was causing my issue. I wish you the best. I do hope you get this fixed. Hopefully it's only that the card is loose ! Like I said it's worth a try. Best wishes.
I'd try fully formatting the card using gparted. I always do this if I have any suspicion that something may be wrong with a card and its never let me down yet.
Google it, its free and there are videos on YouTube showing how to use it so all it'll cost you is a bit of time, gotta be worth a go......

Not sure if anyone else ahs had this problem, but all of a sudden, out of no where my external sd card doesn't work... like when i go to contacts and want to export them to it, it isn't there. Only sim card and send namecard via... Then yesterday, it randomly started working again, and then i took it out of my phone and put it back in to see something, and it stopped working again. Anyone know what i can do?
That actually happened to me and my dads Infuse, the thing is...idk the actual cause i thouht it was mecanical damage to the spot where the sd card holds, but then i solved my problem buying another sd card (not a cheap ebay one like before)
My dads infuse never read it back and had to get a replacement so change your sd card if that doesnt work ask for a replacement.
Hope it helpa
