[Q] internal sd card unexpectedly removed - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello dear xda
I'm trying to fight with Samsung Service in Poland but looks like this battle is lost (sent it to two different Services and they both claim that phone is fine). My problem is that after waking up my phone sometimes i get "internal sd card unexpectedly removed" after that if I start any apk like youtube or gtalk it force close or hangs (black screen only keys glows). Internal SD card is unavaible and after time it gets mounted again. Im running official ERA firmware.
My question is might this be internal SD card failure? Can I replace it on my own? Is youtube, gtalk, maps apps stored on that card? (that would explain why they force close)
p.s. Reflashing firmware by the Samsung service or reseting to factory settings didnt help.
Android 2.2.1, I9000XXJPY, FROYO.XWJS7

I have the same issue.
It happens after update form 2.2 to 2.2.1
Android 2.2.1, I9000XXJPY, FROYO.XWJS7
Samsung galaxy S bought in Poland.
I'll try to upgrade firmware to 2.3.4
If it'll help - I write it

G2x Won't Download Apps from Market

This is due to Google Talk Authentication Error which is annoying the hell out of me.
I literally did everything: flashed a fresh stock rom, factory reset, it started working for maybe 10 minutes but now it stopped and I it won't sign into Gtalk and therefore I can't download apps. What the hell? Can anyone please help meh?
Is your phone time and date correct?

Yes, I did. Basically, Gtalk signs in and stays that way if I take out the sim but when I put it back in it says Google Talk Authentication Error or something like that not even 3 minutes after turning the phone back on.
I want to mention that this is stock firmware 2.2.
Update: I get Google Talk Authentication Error without the SIM in the phone as well.. It just refuses to sign in some time after I turn on da fone.
Same problem here, even after flashing fresh rom......
there is this authentication error popup, saying something about chatservice has to be turned on......weird
tried everything!
Change SD card or format it..there were so many people hv the same issue. And so many suggestion..i tried everything that was suggested, and lastly i format my SD card..so far it works fine after 2wks..another common issue is people who use SD 16gb or more class 6 n above curiously have this issue..but most 8gb users seems fine.
Fixed by pulling out the similar and forcing gtalk to log in thru wick, then put similar back in and it works.
I meant sim, damn autocorreccltion

Help with galaxy tab sph-p100

Have my sister's tab from sprint. something happened and it was not working well. For some reason it keeps giving an error for the google play music app and some others. Have been able to get into odin and flash the stock .tar file and it goes all the way through but doesn't seem to be working. I've tried to restore in settings to original settings but it keeps showing the email address as if it never gets removed. Seems that the internal drive is locked or something. Any suggestions.?
yeah, a few such cases if you read where people buy second hand one and old user details stick and can't be removed.
After reboot it returns.
usually is the sign of failing internal sd card.

Spotify not recognizing internal storage anymore

For some strange reason, Spotify no longer seems to recognize my phone's internal storage. I'm unable to listen to the radio and the following error pops up: 'No SD Card Found: We found no place to store our data, please check that you have a working SD card and free space". This started occurring after I upgraded to Mike's ARHD 10 (and remained after I upgraded again to 10.1). I tried Googling the issue, but couldn't find a single instance of anyone facing a similar problem. I'm fairly certain the rom is not to blame since no one else mentioned anything related to this--plus, the rom has been awesome thus far (just like Mike's earlier versions). I tried fixing permissions, and even re-installing rom after performing a full wipe. I also should mention that after uninstalling then re-installing Spotify, the app seems to run fine for a little while--but the error will rear its ugly head again after I try to open the app again at a later time . Also, I am able to access my internal SD card without a problem via ES File Explorer and everything looks about right when I go to Settings > Storage.
Any help would be appreciated
I get the same message when trying to start Spotify on my stock Gnexus. All other apps using internal storage works fine.
I have now uninstalled and reinstalled Spotify and for now it works fine, but I have to download all offline lists again

Thanks for the response. I started to receive this error (fairly recently) when I installed or updated my current rom. I got tired of having to keep re-installing the Spotify app, so eventually I went into Settings and decided to 'Delete cache and saved data' for the heck of it. This might not exactly be a feasible option for those who have a paid subscription and actual saved data, but I have yet to receive the same error again. :highfive:

Same issue here on my S4 (found this thread through the Spotify community... funny how us XDA members always end up troubleshooting products, lol). I was on Slimbean and thought it was the rom. Restored my stock Nandroid and got the same error a few hours later. Apparently, this will happen again later. Just wanted to chime in with my experience.
Same on HTC One. Put Sentinel rom on over the weekend, re-downloaded all my playlists and it worked fine on Monday...this morning, get the SD card message.
I was looking at where all my space was last night since I put Sentinel on and there was about 1.5gb in a Spotify folder under sdcard/data...the folder has gone.
I will re-install Spotify and see what happens.

It's been my experience in my past two and a half years here at XDA that the developers of ROMs and homebrew usually find a solution before the actual app developers do. In this case, there was a thread in the spotify support forum. That led me here. *shrug* it's how we do.

I come to XDA to find workarounds but when I pay (subscribe to) for something I expect the devs to work on a solution, I think the people working at spotify would like to hear about your problem too, because you can help them but many other people would just give up on them...
I had a problem too and contacted them, they are friendly and responsive

I always go directly to them. And I did. However, posting in multiple places never hurts. if you read my original post, you would see I found this thread from the Spotify support threads.

Spotify has many issues with android and the sd card error problem,i personally read the spotify forums and there are hundreds if not thousands having the same error spotify really should get there act together and fix this after all it is a paid service and you should be getting what you pay for.
What i did was put a new sd card in formatted it using the phone and kept spotify out,everything worked fine,so my advice for now would be to avoid spotify at all costs as you lose everything thats on the card as well ,at least until they fix this bug,of which we are all having to pay for

[Q] Problems with Ace and Stock ROM

Ever since I got the Ace, it has had problems with locking up or sometimes spontaneous reboots. This happened with stock roms and with all of the various CM/custom roms I have tried.
I do not run loads of apps, no facebook, or other stuff syncing in the background except exchange email. I do, however, usually run link2sd since some apps (like browsers and kingsoft office) are too big.
My question is if this is "normal" for this phone, or if the phone is actually crap? What are your experiences?
I thought at one stage it was the SD card so but I bought a new card, checked it thoroughly but still have the same problems with freezing or rebooting. Could the internal storage be broken/have bad blocks?

I can tell you right now random reboots on stock ROM are not normal. The phone is a low end device, but has plenty of Dev support to make it better. Also you should post questions like these in the q&a section, as its not Dev related.

Try to flash a fresh stock rom through Samsung kies or Odin.
And I suggest not to use link2sd, I recommend use cronmod int2ext..

N900A music/sd card problems

hello, posters,
since recently i have been having a major issue with my N900A. whenever i go into the music, even though the time lapse says it is starting at 0:00, it is usually playing the song at about in the middle. Then when this happens and i try to change the track, it usually plays a different song (starting again in the middle) from what i had originally selected. I thought it had to do with the stock player, so i have downloaded numerous players but they all do the same. I then thought it was the ROM (OTA Lollipop 5.0) that had a problem, so i downgraded, to 4.4.2 and still had the same problem. May i also add that if i do the official laymans advice and restart, then my SD Card would simply not read at all, and requires multiple restarts before it works. I even went as far as root/flashing the ROM "the S5 Experience" on it to see if it would b any different, which it hasn;t been. I formatted the SD card via the phone and copied back all my music files to the SD card multiples times, but that has still not fixed the problem. I listen alot of music and even if alot of things go wrong with my phone, my music (and email ha!) has to work.
Anyone has anyadvice.?? .. Thanks in advance members
-Kid
do you have another SD card to try?
not at the moment. I went and ordered one this morning should be in by Tuesday. ..
