Everytime I put large files onto my SD card, say a movie or what not, and unmount it from the computer my nexus one starts running extremely slow.
The phone then goes into standby normally and I am then unable to wake it up. I figured it must be updating the files or something as I installed that led cpu usage app, so I left it overnight to do what it had to do.
In the morning I noticed the phone had become very hot and pushing the power button only made the bottom capacitive buttons light up. I resorted to taking out the battery and booting the phone again, the phone is still slow and then it goes back into the dreaded SOD (standby of death).
I tried formatting the sd card but the problems persist, after a while it tells me the sd card is corrupt. The only way to fix it I've found is to wipe the phone and re flash the rom.
This happens on a frequent basis now with the froyo roms, find myself wiping every second day.
Is this problem to do with my SD card? Is anyone else having this problem?
I am running FRF83 and had this problem since the first froyo leak. I have a class 6 8gb card.
Same problem here on FRF91
Some problem here on FRF91.

So I've been lurking around this forum ever since the G1 first came out. Messed up on the rooting procedure once, got a replacement a few months ago.
Worked fine so far. A while ago, I flashed the latest SuperD rom. I am using an 8gig SD card. I've overcharged my battery several times by accident, so the health isn't exactly up to out-of-the-box standards.
I noticed the phone entered a random reboot when I turned the music on for a while. As time passed, the random reboots became more and more frequent. Since I couldn't keep the phone on for more than 20 seconds without a reboot, I decided to wipe and flash a new rom today.
I chose Pays 1.6 Rom and flashed that. Didn't wipe my ext4, just wiped and flashed. I figured ext4 wouldn't cause such a problem, so I ignored it for now. Problem not solved.
I turn the phone on, and in the few seconds, I noticed the following:
the apps all show up, meaning the phone reads the ext4 apps (right?.)
The sd card itself displays an error - I can't access music, pics, etc.
Phone service is fine, all apps are normal.
Buuuut there's still that random reboot issue. It reboots, enters a G1 screen, then reboots quicker. In other words, after I take the battery out and reboot, it might take maybe 1 minutes before it auto-reboots. I wait, then it reboots in maybe 30 seconds. And faster and faster, until it doesn't respond anymore and I have to take the battery out again.
I'm not sure what I do causes random reboots. Sometimes it's when I press a button while in the music app. Sometimes it's when I open the keyboard. Sometimes it's just when the screen goes to sleep. It's fairly random.
I can go into recovery (once I take the battery out once.) Fastboot also works.
Running the danger SPL and the second to latest radio (I believe a new one came out recently? Mine's the one with 26)
Help please? What part of my phone is broken?
I'll give additional information if asked. Not sure what parts are relevant.
Sound's like Kernel panic. Wipe everything and install soemthing stable like cyanogens 4.2.15.1 or dwangs rom. Didn't know there was anything worng with SuperD's kernel though.

Since the rom relies on apps to sd I would guess the ext is borked and maybe the fat32 as well. I would reformat the whole thing to fat 32 then reformat to ext2 or 3. Load Dwangs rom for testing (easier to get running just as a test).
So I wiped my SD (ext4, dalvik, fat32) and tried cyanogen. Then I tried Pays. Reboot problem's gone, but neither of them is reading my SD card.
I'm assuming its just a matter of backing up the SD and repartitioning? I'll try that next when I have time.
Thanks for the help guys! Lastly, any ideas on why this happened? It'd be hard to pinpoint the exact reason, but I'm assuming I'm not the only one who had this problem - how did other people get to the situation I'm in?
I wiped all of my SD, repartitioned, wiped the phone, flashed AOSP 1.6. w/ root and "expansion" pack.
Reboots are less frequent, but they still occur too often. They don't occur by themselves - its always when I'm using my phone.
It seems that it reboots more when its connected to my computer. The SD isn't mounted, but the simple fact that its connected seems to trigger reboots more frequently. Is this a coincidence or can a USB cord trigger reboots?
Help please
EDIT: The phone just made an audible cracking sound as it rebooted - like someone stepping on gravel. Hardware issue?
I am using Cyanogen 5.0.6 on my N1. I flashed it about 5 days ago.
Backstory: So I was connected to my car stereo via bluetooth on my way to work this morning when the songs stops playing. I then pressed the skip button on my receiver but nothing happened. I then looked at my phone and realized that it was off. I tried pressing the power button to turn it back on but that did not work. Then I removed the battery and then replaced it and pressed the power button. It turned on. The main problem became evident when I got to the home screen and it said "Blank SD card - SD card blank of has unsupported filesystem."
Is there a way to recover the data that was on this sd card? It is asking me to format the card, but I would rather recover the files if possible before formating. Also, is this a glitch with Cyanogen, the 5.0.6 ROM, Android 2.1 or something else?
If anyone could help me, I would greatly appreciate it.
No idea what could have caused it but as for recovering files just try one of the many programs out there.
Ive persoanlly had success wity a program called recova for windows
Thanks Phantom.
I had a spare memory card at home. It was full of videos so I had to format the card. Once it was formatted, I stuck it in the phone and rebooted. Everything was fine for about a half hour. I then loaded up some of my files that I wanted on the card, mainly just photos and documents. Then I thought I would go back to Cyanogen 5.0.5.3 so I loaded up the zip file on the root of the card and turned the phone off. When I went into bootloader it wouldn't recognize the card. So I was forced to restart the phone. Once it got to the home screen, a notification popped up saying that the SD card is damaged. [naturally there were expletives]. So now I have two SD cards that I cannot use on my phone. When I put the cards into a USB adapter, the computer only sees a few MB of the SD card and does not allow me to format.
I have now just about reached the limit of my computer knowledge.
The two main questions are:
1. What caused this?
2. How can I fix it?
Please keep in mind that I am a noob when it comes to most of this stuff so I would appreciate the help to be kept in layman's terms as much as possible.
Thank you!
I have been using a class 2 16 GB SD card that I bought off play.com for a while now, and it worked perfectly in both my Hero and my N1, until recently. Since flashing Froyo, I have been having some issues, for example my mp3 files are not indexed in the music app, so nothing shows up, also my phone was freezing, both when I unplugged it from USB and at other random intervals.
So I decided to try another SD Card to see if it would clear up the music indexing problem. Since then, that has worked, and my N1 does not seem to have frozen at all.
Has anyone else had any issues like this, and could the SD card be causing my phone to freeze? (By freeze I mean it sits with whatever I was doing on the screen, but is completely unresponsive, and sometimes if I wake the phone it sits on the slide to unlock screen with the screen dimmed.
Thanks for any help.
I have a issue like this and I re-formated the the card and all worked for me. I again had the issue with another card I just took all data off the card and all worked so there was a file that had corrupted on the card. Hope this helps
That is definitely useful. Thank you.
Did your problem involve freezing at all?
Anyone else having an issue with the internal SD card on their SGS dropping off and not showing up after using KIES, in fact it might be every time I plug the phone into my computer and select a connection option.
I've been using the JH2 Eclair version for my Bell I9000M since it came out. a couple weeks ago I had an issue with the OCLF crapping out when I dropped my phone while it was running an app and it popped the battery. It messed a bunch of stuff up, I lost some apps, had a number of them that refused to re-install and a fair number of FC's on random Apps that were stable prior. I also experienced a number of FC's on the gmail app in relation to syncing.
I then did a Factory Reset and then finally a full re-install of JH2 and all those issues went away. Now the only problem is the fact that the SD disappears from inside the OS, after plugging it into the PC, If I connect it Via KIES it will work once, then the phone begins to flash the Kies app in and out on the screen on my second attempt and the SD card vanishes.
I have found that if I do a 3 button boot and go to the update screen and run the option that deletes the Cache partition and reboot the phone it fixes both the KIES issue and the missing SD issue until I plug the phone into my computer again.
I'd be interested in hearing any ideas people might have as to why this is happening and what if any options I might have to permanently fix the issue.
O.
I have the same problem. I'm using JH2 as well and after unplugging from my PC my internal SD and external SD are unmounted. A reboot remounts them. I rarely use kies so it's just kind of an annoyance
my stock nexus one becomes highly unstable after booting up. im running strock 2.2.1, and this issue started apearing recently (after 2.2.1 update). the phone has never had any problems in the past.
whenever i turn the phone on, if i touch it it becomes really laggy and freezes, requiring me to pull the battery. however, if i let it sit for 15-20 minutes and then play with it it works fine, until the next time i shut id down (which can be days). i have performed a factory reset without reinstalling all of my old applications, i have formatted my sd card, and i have checked all the applications that start on boot up, but none of them seam to be the issue (when there was nothing on the phone it still reacted this way)
any suggestions? should i contact htc? this is really annoying.
Before you do, you could try to root and check the logs for anything suspicious (logcat and kmesg). Also you could try to install custom ROM and see if the problem still exists.
If it doesn't help - you should contact HTC.

Factory reset with formatted card? Has to be something wrong with the phone.
Go to recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache, and try to boot phone again, often that helps.
tried wiping everything i can through recovery, yet my phone still freezes soon after start up. any chance htc will fix this? i dont want a refurb
Because when system has just booted up, it needs to check SD card and mounts all App2SD applications.
Try to boot your phone without SD and SIM card, see if it solves the issue.
tried removing sim and microsd and all th possible combinations.
it runs great without the microsd, so im guessing that was the issue. ill try another microsd to make sure its not a hardware/software bug related to sds in general but rather an issue with my specific microsd (which isnt the stock one).
thanks for the suggestion. i was very close to sending my phone in to htc (already had a ticket open and a fedex label)
that sounds good perhaps your SD card was corrupted. Connect it to your computer using a card reader, and do a disk check in Windows, see if it can fix any problem. Also try to degragment your SD card.
