P30 Lite Memory Card Unexpectedly Removed - Huawei P30 Questions & Answers

Hi, everyone. I got my P30 Lite (MAR-LX1M) 5 days ago, and I'm really loving the device! I do, however, have a bit of a concern that my 64GB SanDisk SD card will be damaged by the device.
Two days ago, I got a SystemUI notification saying "SanDisk memory card unexpectedly removed". I checked my storage, and the SD card was still mounted, so I removed the notification. Today, I got another of those notifications. My SD card worked perfectly in my P10 Lite, and it's just a little over 6 months old.
I'm aware that there were issues with the Mate 20 Lite having SD corruption problems, so I'm really hoping the same isn't happening with my device.
Is this happening to any other P30 Lite users? My software version is 9.0.1.122 (C316E5R1P5).

"SD card unexpectedly removed” error notification arrived every time when I used my phone. I tried to re-insert and re-mount the SD card, but in vain. So I formatted my SD card with AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard. The problem was finally solved. Maybe you can have a try!

Thanks, I will definitely give it a shot. Mind telling me which SD card you're using?
I also just got another error, that said my SD card is not compatible, so I needed to format it in the device, even though it was formatted in the device before! It's really the oddest thing!

Alright, so I just wanted to update the thread, since my issue seems to be resolved.
I did a "chkdsk" in Windows, and then formatted the SD card in my device, and it's been 8 days since I've had any errors! Before, I used to get the error after less than a day, so I'm very optimistic
Sent from my MAR-LX1M using Tapatalk

Final update: my optimism was short-lived, unfortunately. The same error happened, and my memory card was permanently corrupted. I also tried a 32GB SanDisk memory card, that worked fine, and I got the "unexpectedly ejected" error again. This is definitely an issue with the phone, and now I'm just not using an SD card in my device, because I honestly can't afford to replace my SD cards like this.
I know that Huawei doesn't seem to know why these issues are occurring, and I will not be taking my device to a service centre, until I know for sure that a definite fix has been found.

Still no p30 lite forum

I no longer have the device, but just in case someone else has the same issue, which Huawei apps need to be removed?
I had the issue since I started using the device, which was in 2019, so I doubt my issue was related to new Huawei apps.

Return the Infuse when the micro SD slot didn't recognize files

I just returned my first Android phone due to the Micro SD slot didn't recognize my pictures and music (*.jpg and some *.mp3). I rooted and Unlocked it and be able to flash a new ROM after 2 days of reading this forum. BIG THANKS to EVERYONE HERE. Everytimes i transfer to the phone, 70% of the files disappeared and some of the rest didn't play. 5% of the files played and viewed. I thought the Micro SD card has a problem so i went to buy 2 extra 16G and 32G. Both cards happened the same. Just returned the Infuse.
I like the open source Android. However I do like the way Mail settings in the Iphone (all mails in one place, I use Email alot). With Android, every app is for every mail provider (dislike). Maybe you know the way to get around this thing then i'm going back to the Infuse.
Other disadvantages are the battery life. Drained so quick compare to the iphone . The charging take really long time to be fully charge (usually take all night when you are at 10-20%)
Should I get another Infuse to try out or wait for the Iphone5? Had been using Iphone for the last 3 years and Infuse for 5 days.
I'm not trying to say which is better. But base on my need seem like the iphone win the choice.
Thanks guys

The stock EMAIL (not GMAIL) app works with any/all providers and also has a combined inbox. The app I use called "ENHANCED EMAIL" has a much better feature set and was about as close as I could get to the iPhone email and also has a combined inbox. It's based loosely on the stock EMAIL App.

External SD data corruption not related to SD card

Hi,
I had a Trascend 16Gb card working ok for a year. Then got some random photos taken being corrupted/not shown and Titanium backup unable to backup
I checked card and it seemed faulty on PC. After reformat, same issues when inserted back in phone
I bought a new Sandisk Mobile Ultra microSDHC 16Gb card. And I still get same issues. Photos taken are corrupted. I suspect the phone reader corrupting my photos. Any help please...
Same problem here!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
Do you think it is hardware/firmware issue?
All was fine untill I updated to JVH 2.3.3
Nothing solved under JVR 2.3.4
Always using CFroot kernels for root, no other custom roms
Same problem here with Sandisc card. I changed card now for Transcendt and it is fine for 3 days. Will see further on. Sandisc was 8GB class 6, current one is 8GB class 4. I am on 2.3.5 JVT, semaphore 1.8.0. Sandisc worked for me cca. 7 months until problem occurred. Maybe it is connected with firmware, I don't know.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
Maybe not firmware issue, as I got the issue under 2.3.3, 2.3.4 and you got it on 2.3.5
I will try again a full reformat on PC, but could be hardware issue on the sammy declining overtime
Many such issues are reported on google, but no definite answer
It passed the RMA date by just 4 days :-(
I had this issue also under 2.3.3. and 2.3.4. together with 2.3.5. Under 2.2.1. this issue was not present. Maybe to revert again to 2.2.1. just for test?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
Well,
Tried a full flash + hard reset on JVH 2.3.3 + full reformat of external SD through PC
After root with CF-root, I flashed back original kernel to rule out CF-root kernel issues
Still, photos taken with camera and random SD card files get corrupted
Now, reverted back to 2.2.1 JSD which never caused issues. I will see what it gives and feed back
Thanks for update. I am eager to see results after you install 2.2.1. Please, also check which class is your memory card. Maybe speed also matters since I experienced same problem with class 6 and now with class 4 everything is fine (so far).
Thanks.
Thanks for the advice, I will check it
Indeed, I just saw the Sandisk micro SDHC cards were moved from class 6 to class 4 (maybe because of issues?)
I have to check on my phone when back to home
JSD 2.2.1 is running since yesterday, no issues at all, but have to test it for a longer period
The issue in my case is evident with taken photos: they get corrupted and from time to time, even old photos get corrupted (suggesting a data loss on card). Sometimes, a picture gets combined into another ending with a photo having 2 halfs of 2 other photos!!!

Exact the same issue that I had with class 6 card. Please, try to test it longer with 2.2.1. and after that, if you experience same issue with 2.2.1, try with class 4.
Bad news
My card is a Sandisk Ultra Mobile class 4
And now, JSD v2.2.1 is also corrupting taken photos. I ran it for a long time before without issues, till I updated to 2.3.3. So, it doesn't seem to be software issue
By the way, I tested under JSD fresh, no applications installed at all expect rooting via SuperOneClick to avoid custom kernel
Preparing the unit for an RMA :-(
My first with samsung
Oh, I am sorry for such bad news. Good luck with RMA and keep us posted.
Thanks for the feedback also
Will keep you updated
Just giving it till tomorrow: fresh reinstall through last 2.3.3 in Kies this time, no root, nothing installed (for the RMA). But I doubt it will solve anything...
Hope they don't send the unit back unchanged. RMA services often s*ck
Corrupt SD card
Have the same problem...
Same with me. It has been happening since 2.2.1 and 2 different cards. Sometimes it corrupted instantly and sometimes it just won't pull up later.

Many such reports on google/search, no definite answer, but looks like hardware issue on USB internal card port, definitely not software/firmware issue after my tests above

I've also had this issue with my Sandisk External SD card experiencing corrupted file issues, including camera images. My Win7 PC was also telling me that that card was corruped and needed repair. It did read and write to it however.
I reformatted the external SD with Win7 and files seem to be stable following this. I haven't trusted the extSD enough to start storing my camera images on it again so can't provide feedback on that.
Camera images stored on the built-in internal SD are OK.
Thanks for the follow-up
Well, got my phone back from RMA. Guess what, they just made a hard reset
I inserted my card in the shop, took a corrupted photo and gave it back so they RMA it a 2nd time
Anyway, I was sure they will behave that way, that's why took everything with me and tested before leaving the shop. RMA services s*ck, same with Nokia, Sony-Ericson... I expierienced same situations with them. Nokia I had to send 4 times my N73 before they finally replaced the defective lcd
This time I wrote my self the issue on the coupon and included the external sd with corrupted photos.
I bet you they tell me this time my SD card is defective. However, when I will go to the shop, I will take another external SD with me. If they really say that, I will test the new SD to show the shop they s*ck and will ask for a refund or a new phone from them and let the shop deal with the RMA.
Damn it, I'll be without a phone for another 2-3 ping-pong game with RMA service

I would never have sent my phone to RMA if I didn't already format the card 10 times, test it 10 times and try another SD card...
same here i used data recovery to take my photos back... 16 GB no brand ebay sd
in 2.3.x custom roms custom kernels ...
make a format to your card and then recover your data with

Why people just don't read this thread before jumping to post
It just doesn't have anything to do with the SD, it's the phone that s*cks
The photos are not recoverable, they're broken and file is full with some binary garbage

[Q] What exactly is gonna happen with Wallet?

I don't care if you don't use it, I didn't ask you. This is for the people who actually use it.
Is there any possible way somebody can come up with a form of accessing the app in the near future? Google has dropped support for Rooted phones.
Or are we pretty much ****ed forever unless we have our phones completely stock?
Nah, personally I am waiting for my bank (Chase) to roll out their own version. I have a Visa, and would rather be able to choose debit or credit when using my phone. I think Fifth Third does something similar with their plastic card.
Basically wait until the iPhone gets an NFC chip, and watch mobile payments take off.
I have a Visa too, so I guess that would be a good alternate. Hopefully they actually support rooted users or I'll be pissed.
Yeah, wish we could spoof the root-check. Not like Google Wallet running on my rooted phone is any less secure than my regular wallet.

Seriously, and I have a bit less money and less important things in it!
I tried going back to the original and it doesn't work either

I'm hoping someone will come up with a fix. I still have $20 on my Wallet app and I can't use it..... Would still love to use it.
Pretty convenient too since my campus has so many vending machines that accepts NFC payment..
Can't you turn root on and off in cyanogenmod 9? It's in the development options. Give that a try?
kernels ; battery ; ROM ; gov/sched
Now with summaries in the first posts. Convenient for XDA app users!

supercurio's Voodoo OTA RootKeeper has that function to temporary unroot. I still get insufficient privileges..
Is it really only a root issue? My rooted stock NS4G had wallet running just fine last week before I flashed a different ROM. I thought Google was just blocking devices it didn't recognize.
So if we spoofed the device name, etc. Would it work?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
i think wallet will still work but its not supported on rooted devices. basically they are saying they are not liable if you lose money because you were rooted
I'm rooted on vhGomez rom ( which is so awesome btw and i advise you to try it out) with matr1x kernel 17.5 and I can't get my card to hook up right I'll upload a screenie in a sec.

i thought prepaid cards are disabled for everyone. rooted and non rooted
I may be mistaken but I thought they were turned back on with the update.
EDIT! Important!
I figured out how to make it not say your device is not supported! Just move Google wallet from
system/app/
to
data/app/
Then restart and boooom! No bar saying its not supported. Idk if this will affect how it works so try at your own risk.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
Google wallet will still work for everyone, its just that if you're rooted they're not liable if you lose money, so they're legally warning you with that banner. People have been reporting that even while rooted it has worked and some have even heard it straight from Google. Check out the Galaxy Nexus forums, there's a thread on it. And as of now new cards get provisioned just fine, but if you already had a card and you're trying to re-add it then you have to wait until the next update, Google has stopped that and gave the time frame 1-2 weeks from when they released the last update.
Ok, that makes alot more sense I thought my card wasn't adding because I was rooted.
Thank you.

You got locked out of the secure element chip, Google is suppose to release an update to fix that. That happened because you cleared data or removed wallet without resetting wallet from within the app itself in options, if you have a titanium backup saved then restore and reset within the app, then you'll still have to wait until Google let's you re-add your card, like me and NS4G john, but you won't be locked out. Also if you restore with titanium backup you still won't be able to use your card even though its there, you'll get a payment not sent error when you try to pay, I know from personal experience.

I use my NS4G unactivated without service (as an Android iPod touch, basically).
Since Google Wallet uses NFC, can I use it even though my phone's not activated? Is the entire handshake/exchange with the register done between the phone and the store's NFC reader, or does the phone call home over cell signals every time you make a transaction?

S3 and 64G card

I just curious if a 64G Micro card would be supported... SOrry if this has been discussed!
Yup

It'll support up to 128 GB from what I know. It may not show the extra space but even the SGS2 would work with it.
Yes. I had issues with mines though when it was formatted as exFAT ... seems to work better now after formatting it to FAT32
It will take a 64 GB, but yes it has to be formatted as FAT32. The easiest thing to do is put it new in the phone and format it there under System/ Storage/ Format.You can still read and write to it on a PC (I don't have a Mac so I can't speak for that), but when you have it formatted by the phone itself you know it will work with it.
I believe apple is able to write to fat32.
I am on phone so expect errors

I've got a 64gb card formatted with the original exFat format it came with and it works fine in my SGS3. The only issue is that CWM doesn't see it but I have read the the current version of CWM doesn't see the extSD card no matter how it's formatted.
Cool thanks i think i will pick on of those up then.. thx for all the posts..
S3 reception is great, better than the Razr... I was skeptical but glad it has better radio in it...

The latest versions of CWM and CWM Touch customized for the SGS 3 will see the ex-SD card no matter what the size, as long as it's formatted in FAT32. That's where I keep my nandroids and I can load .zip files from it. CWM doesn't work with exFAT for some reason that someone smarter than I has to explain. (Sorry I can't cite the reference, but I believe it is in one of the rooting forums here)
I think the phone formats the cards in exfat from what I have read.

(Sorry I can't cite the reference, but I believe it is in one of the rooting forums here)

The problem is exFAT is a proprietary format owned by Microsoft and you need to pay licensing fees to use it.

The user does not pay to use exFAT, that is paid by the manufacturer of the card. exFAT allows use of greater than 4Gb file sizes. The main disadvantage is that exFAT support must be present in the device trying to access the card. Windows 7, Vista SP1, and XP with SP2 or 3 with update KB955704 support exFAT. See Wikipedia for more detail. Apple OS's also have support for ExFAT.
ExFAT cards can be formatted to FAT32 for better compatibility with many consumer devices such as cameras, etc. If the device's manual shows support for SD cards up to 32 Gb, then assume exFAT won't work. It is also better use a dedicated Flash card formatter, rather than using your operating system's built in format capability. You don't need exFAT support to format a card back to FAT32. You will lose the ability to have 4Gb+ files (HD video?) after formatting.
Some exFAT card have very high read/write speeds above Class 10 using a new standard called "UHS Speed Class". Since this requires new hardware support (faster clock, etc.), few if any devices support it. The Galaxy S3 does not have support for UHS and will not be any faster running these cards. But a card reader with hardware support for UHS would make working with larger cards a pleasure. Transferring 15 Gb of data between two class 10 cards took me 40 minutes. Writing to a UHS card can bring this down to 15 minutes or less.

S3 reception is great, better than the Razr... I was skeptical but glad it has better radio in it...

You must have had a defective RAZR, I have both phones sitting right here and the RAZR gets a 4g connection in numerous places the S3 definitely will not.
We have a corporate account with both RAZR's and S3's on it. I wish I could say the S3 was better in that regard (as that's what I'm using) but it is most definitely not true.
For me the RAZR is better with 3g and the GS3 is better with 4g.
Since mainly 3g still where I live, I wish it were opposite.
I just got my SanDisk 64GB SDXC Class 10 card. I inserted into my phone and it wouldn't mount for some reason. I couldn't even format the card in my phone because it wasn't recognized. The card was formatted in the exFAT file system and I had to format it to FAT32 for the phone to see it. I hear other people just pop in their 64GB cards without a problem. I wonder what their current setup is. I'm running on Synergy 1.2 w/Imoseyon's lean kernel.

[Q] Moto G [XT1032 - Falcon] NO SIM CARD?

Hey all, I've been getting this problem since I updated lately.
Some times I'd get networking, calls, and all.
Others I've got to reboot the phone a random amount of times for it to work.
And then after a random period, back to unrecognized SIM card.
I've read that this is a known problem but not much more for the XT1032.
What information can I give about this issue?
What should I be looking after?
The bootloader has been unlocked. Kernel is stock. The device is rooted.

Do you have another micro sim to try with?

Yes, have alread tried.
The other sims are afected the same.
Also, I've tested this sim card in other phones and they read it just fine.
I've just spraid some contact cleaner that doesn't attack plastics and going to check with a SIM again, don't think that's going to help in any way but oh well..
Any further ideas?

Does it reboot completely (motorola boot logo) or just ask you the pin?

No pin ask, no simlock nor sim password on this device/sim cards..
Full motorola reboot is what I'm doing (power off, and power on), also tried rebooting into safe mode, and forced reboot.
None seemed to work.

Since calls, data etc.. work sometimes I think it's not an hardware or software issue. Has your sim been cut by yourself?

At first I had one I had cutted myself.
Just yesterday I received the one I orderd that came pre-cut.
This are the ones you actually get to just push out of the SIM card holder, I don't know if this is the same as before, but still sometimes work some times doesn't, yeah..
Pretty frustrating as the phone is right now in a pretty much unusable state..
May it be some kind of change if I try to flash a new ROM or some custom kernel?
I don't really want to go to the SAT.. Nor dissamble it myself really..

I hope somebody will help you but I don't suggest you to flash a custom rom/kernel for now.

Wish me luck. I've dissambled it, pulled a contact upwards with a needle, and it recognized the SIM right away.
I'm not sure if this is going to last, though.
Will keep informed about the issue for someone else having the same problem.
So basically you've a damaged SIM slot?

Looking at it from the outside being the phone disambled, it didn't look like it was damaged.
However, one of the three copper contacts was laying lower than the other two, that one I pulled upwards with the help of the nail in the image until it retained a higher position.
It's promising that upon power-on it recognized the MicroSIM and is working so far.
Although, this could very well still be part of the random behaviour it was showing before.
So I ain't getting much excited, I'll see how much it lasts.
I've already voided my warranty so if this works it's time to go deeper and mod some more stuff.
You could have simply asked for a replacement, which would have saved u the real headache
Due to the phone being bought abroad it wasn't really a choice
