Phone randomly unmounts SD card? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Trying to figure out what's going on here. Switched from CM7.1, which wouldn't mount the card at all, to Apex 10.1, which mounts it a bit more regularly. However, sometime between 30 minutes to two and a half hours after mounting, the phone claims the card has been "removed unexpectedly," and the tries to remount it and claims the card is blank or corrupt. I've tried mounting it on my PC, seems to work fine. Does this sound like more of a hardware issue with my Captivate, or with the SD card?
Oh, and it re-mounts just fine if I go through the menu and tell it to remount the card.

apps2sd problem: keeps resetting

i just flashed to cyanogen stable mod a couple days ago and tried apps2sd for the first time, it worked fine for a couple days, and today for no reason the phone resets itself or just turns off. btw im using the stock 1gig stick
bump/update, it keeps resetting randomly and once and a while ill see, unexpected removal of sd card, could my sd card be bad? iv seen this error before and it makes sense that now with apps2sd it keeps resetting
I had an issue like this... it was more so what seemed like random freezes, though. I actually used to have the same issue with the microSD card I used with my nintendo DS rom cart, too. lol. Sometimes it would boot saying no cartridge was found, or the cart would boot saying no SD card was found. I've found that clicking the SD card in and out a couple times usually fixes it. If that don't work, looks like the SD card you have is going bad. Sounds like a good time for an upgrade.
I was just thinking as well... I don't know if you've used apps2sd before, but I would suggest, if you don't mind reinstalling apps and losing any of your settings, doing a wipe/factory reset in recovery mode, followed by dropping to the console and "rm -r *" your /system/sd. If you're having issues after that, it's gotta be the SD card.

External SD Card Damaged

So after a reboot of installing the JV6 modem a notification popped up saying External SD Card Damaged. I rebooted and the notification went away but won't play any music. It said, unsupported file for every song. Even though I've played those songs hundreds of times!
It says in the notification, "Blank SD Card or has unsupported filesystem". I tried formatting it and no dice. It also won't mount it just gets stuck at saying, "Mount in progress".
Any ideas?

Have you tried putting a new or different sd card in, just to rule out the possibility of having a bad card (kinda rare tho)? The flash of the modem may have screwed up the file system on the card tho usually it never messes with the ext sd. You said you reformatted it, was that from the phone or computer? And what format are you using for your music?
Unfortunately (for me at least) having a micro sd card go bad of not that rare. I have had 2 of them go bad exactly as you described. Found out that one was a fake....it did work for a week though. The other was legit and twice did the same thing yours is doing probably 6 months from one incident to the other. Both times it magically started working again. The third time it happened I was a little fed up and broke it in half. It had lasted 4 years though. To sum it up though I did not ever find out what was wrong or how top fix it...just my related story.

[Q] SD Card makes 5830i **** laggy.

Hello everyone,
Today, I just received the dreaded "blank SD or unsupported file system" all of a sudden from the stock Samsung 2GB Micro SD Card. Everything gone, Card Fried.
But then I tried to put in a separate memory card into the phone. It's a Kingston 2GB. But the moment I even put it in, the whole phone freezes into oblivion. Only when I take it out and wait 5 seconds, will the phone run at normal speeds again.
Another issue is that I am unable to format the aforementioned Kingston Card from the phone. When I try to do so, the phone just says Erasing... then it stops. When I try to press the Mount SD card option, phone just freezes, until, of course, I remove the card and wait 5 seconds.
All this suddenly happened today. I have been owning this 5830i for about 2 months now, no problems, and suddenly today...
Any insight into these issue are greatly appreciated. Thank you.
To help give a more visual approach to this problem, I have decided to take some time off to create a video.

Hope this clarifies things.
OMG what is this shenanigans? I just put the KINGSTON card into the phone and waited two hours, and the phone had the cheek to work normally again. Yay its solved, but I still find this issue to be very strange. Fickle phone, I guess.
I just found a solution to the Kingston Card Lag Problem.
Go google Panasonic SD Formatter and Format the SD Card using a card reader. Then put the card back in the phone and the Card will work normally again.
umm umm. lol?

slow sd mount afet .757

after updating to .757, most bugs including the notification sound bug is gone. but i also noticed on boot up and after connecting to pc, my sd card takes a long time to mount. when i was in 4.3, as soon as the phone boots up, i can access the sd card right away. but now, after booting up it takes another 1-2 minutes before it even have a notification of mounting sd card, than takes another 5-6 minutes before its loaded in the system.
am i alone?

SD Card formatted as internal storage randomly unusable on cm13

I love marshmallow's adoptable storage feature, allowing me to install more apps. This feature worked beautifully for about a month and a half. However, I shut down the device, plugged it in to charge, went to sleep, and the next morning, the apps that were moved to the sd card were not available anymore. They were all greyed out on my launcher(Nova). I moved about 4 gigs worth of mostly games. Fortunately, most of them had cloud storage, but some favorite games didnt. This isn't that big of a problem, but I'd like to try to fix it. So, I went here for help.
At first, I thought the class 10 SanDisk 16gb sd had just gotten bumped out of the slot where the connections happen, so I opened the back cover and removed and inserted the sd card. The notification that prompted me to put the sd back in went away for a few seconds, but then came back. I repeated the process of removing and inserting the sd a few times, but still no moved apps were available. I put the sd into an adapter, then into my laptop, and it showed on file explorer. So the sd card could still be recognized, but maybe unusable.
I dont know what happened, one day it was working, the next day it wasn't. I know i formatted it as internal and portable storage a few times, so maybe that wore it out. I'm running cm13
Hello,
On my phone I used the micro SD card normally as external storage. On day I plugged in my headphones and there was no music. I though that the micro SD card must have come out. However, reinserted it it didn't work. I wouldn't open on computer either. While I don't have a solution, I am pretty sure I also had the same problem.
Once I was taking pictures with my phone when it crashed and rebooted. Some hours before the crash I uninstalled some apps and installed some others (but never rebooted the phone). After the phone started again after the crash, all the pictures and files were gone, the uninstalled apps were there as if I've never uninstalled them and the new installed ones dissapeared.

how long have you used your sd card? i'm sure that the more you use a micro sd card, the more it will wear out and become unuseable/corrupted. That has happened to me before, where the sd card just stopped working.

I have used it for about 1 year. So it may be that but, it has never occurred before.
Same problem here, you can read it here. While I am writing hopefully my files from Titanium Backup are transfered to my laptop. It got worse and worse, in my opinion the sd-card has reached it's end of life because of it's heavy usage. Error occured the first time after the phone got really hot recording gpx tracks. Bye bye sd-card
Another opinion is that warranty is over after two years, so the phone can quit it's duty now - obsolescense plans

yeah, i'm starting to think my micro sd just bailed from wear like that too, but i got to use mine for just over 3 months. i ejected the sd and put it into my computer, and interestingly enough, on my computer it reads 16 megabytes. i was like WAAT that cant be, i formatted it, put it back in my phone as portable, and it read as the normal 14gb. i'm starting to think my sd as internal is the cause of my random reboots. im even running the lastest cm13 update too...
i guess ill try and use my sd as just portable storage from now on, and see if i get any random reboots..
I switched to TurboROM which is using the sd-card as a portable media device, so no more encryption, heavy usage and complete data loss if you do not get your encryption key with root permission.
System space left after complete recovery of my apps with TB is quite nice - but you do not have the possibility to use App2SD (correct me if I am wrong).
So the only way to save internal system space is to move pictures, movies and heavy openstreetmap cards to external.
