Hi all,
Have been flashing roms for a while now, using slim bean in wife's i9000 and I have just changed over from ADC team 10.1 to unofficial liquid smooth on my i9001. Flashed a lot of roms on my i9001, often just due to small lags or glitches. Maybe the number of flashes could be part of my problem so here goes.
Quite often and randomly, so different ROMs etc, internal SD card becomes unmounted and I don't know how to fix but I think I usually just reflash. Sometimes whole apps will disappear too, ironically xda always seems to be the one and it occurred to me this morning could the missing apps be due to the unmounted sdcard, as in apps installing to SD card go missing?
So questions:
Why does SD card unmount?
Are apps disappearing related?
Can I fix without flash?
Is this a prelude to SD card failure due to too many flashes?
Thanks all, need to use up data quota by tomorrow so going to update ROM thought I should pose questions first as will have an impact on what to do next.
Eagerly awaiting your expert responses.

Just to update all, switched phone off to swap to my wife's full battery and phone was off a few minutes. Switched phone OK and SD card is back, since I wrote the first post has happened a couple if times, a reboot doesn't clear out but leaving the phone off for a minute or two with the battery pulled seems to fix it. Also does seem to be the missing apps is related to sdcard.
Should I worry about hardware failure?
Still awaiting any responses!

Hi Guys,
Recently my phone started acting up with periodic reboots but now it seems that every few minutes the phone will reboot. I tried a few different roms and have experienced the same thing. I have also tried reformatting the SD card as well as the partitions but the same thing occurs.
The only time the phone doesnt reboot is when it is being charged. Does this mean my battery is damaged? I went ahead and placed an order for a new battery, but I was curious if a damaged battery could cause the constant reboots?
It could be hardware or software issues. So, you need to tell us what you have done recently to your N1 and which rom, recovery, radio.....you are using. Did you try to go back to stock rom?
Have you tried pulling a log cat?

I have been using Rod's Miui rom for the past few weeks without problems. The problems started a few days ago and have gotten progressively worse, so I tried a few other roms (Miui-Au, Formel's Miui, and Cyanogen 6) but experienced the same thing.
I have reformatted and repartition my SD card as well. I am using the 5.12.00.08 radio with RA's latest recovery.
Log cat?

When I first got my 2x I had no problems with a dismounting SD card. But recently it has started to happen and generally when the phone reboots on its own and such. When it then comes back online it has dumped the External SD card and I am either forced to peel off the cover and then disconnect and reconnect the card.
Or simply reboot manually and go from there. Either of the 2 methods remounts the card, but I am simply at a loss as to what causes the phone to dump it the first time around.
Anyone got any ideas or tips on this?
Tried with different cards?
I have not experienced this whatsoever. I'm using Transcend 8 GB class 6.
I don't really have a huge choice of cards considering the one I am using is a 16 gig one . And it worked juts fine in the HTC Desire I had before the LG.
And it worked fine in the beginning, with the LG. The phone only started being a bit retarded about it a week or 2 ago >_<
I've had the exact same problem. No idea when/why it happens :<
Same here...
And same here, started a couple of days ago.
I would try to format the card with SD Formatter from Panasonic. Do a Google search. I works real good.
I notice this problem only happens to me if I restart the phone using an app (or via clockwork). I have resigned myself to no longer restarting but to instead, shutdown the phone and manually powering it on again..

Please add your support to the thread over at MoDaCo about Paul's reboot app then...
Same happened to me last night. I've had my Optimus 2X for 5 weeks now, never had any spontaneous reboots, it was quite stable actually. Last night I mounted an 8 GB Kensington external SD for the first time on this phone, with some music and videos on it. After booting up, everything worked perfectly. Then, I went listening to songs via YouTube. All of a sudden, nothing but a very loud humming, which continued after I removed and put back the earphone plug. And then, the phone rebooted by itself, for the first time. After it had rebooted, the external SD was still visible using AndroZip, but it was empty! I was pissed off and went to sleep. Just now, I shut off the phone and started it again, and the external SD is back, with all the stuff I put on it last night. So this incident kind of freaked me out. I mean, the 2X isn't what you call a low-end, cheap phone, is it?
same problem here
Did this happen to anyone on stock rom or could the issue be related to a custom rom?
I have been using a class 6 16GB sdcard (unbranded from a reliable seller @ ebay) for about 2 weeks and did not encounter such error, but I am still on stock rom.

Didnt have it on stock, so it could be a custom rom problem, though i had it on fr17 and cm7 and everything based on that. Seeing as fr 17, if im correct, uses stock as a base it should be possible to happen on stock aswell. Someone correct me if im wrong though

sometimes i also have the mount problem, also in recovery ...
a reboot helps in most cases, sometime it needs 2 ...
i also notified that software reboot to recovery (with an app, o2x reboot) causes mounting problems of sd card more often than rebooting with magic keys ...
but it´s not happening regularly, so i can live with that ...
i had it twice on stock, but in a month's time, so it isn't so frequent fortunately
I have the problem on stock rom and if I do a restart... The phone gets hot where the sd card is once loaded back up. Its shows as Unavailable in SD & Phone Storage and have to then just switch the phone off/on and it shows up again. Strange!.
It must be something to do with a soft reset!....
has anyone figured out a solution to this problem yet?
I was about to start a new thread on this prob,luckily i saw this 1st. I also face this prob. My class4 16gb sd card sometimes become unavailable without any notice. Any solutions?

Hi,
I moved some larger games from the USB storage to SD card, and next thing I noticed is they're all corrupted - icon turns into grey color.
Some will keep their name, while some will display (I'm guessing) the codename in the background.
I've tried re-formatting the SD card from the phone but the corruption continues.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Have you rebooted your device and reinstalled the apps?

Hello ,
Same issue overhere , was thinking it was the app : app2sd or a bad memory card.
It got even worse with a very hot NOte at the place where the simcard is, even got the screen in bad colours,read ,light colouring where red is pink .
So i did a hard reset ,all programs wiped out ,formatted the storages and now no problem at all anymore.
Even the battery isnt empty after a day.
I am so anxious to install any new apps ,so its now an empty note .
What's worth an empty note without apps?
So i am wondering too what's wrong.
kernel has xxla6.

Yes, I've tried rebooting many times (my Note crashes occasionally causing auto-reboot too).
Must I wipe the entire phone / re-flash? I'm just unsure how good the Kies backup/restore is... it's a hassle to re-install everything back.
Moved To Q&A
Please Post all questions in the Q&A section
have had the device now about 7 months and last week it started randomly freezing and the home button and the 2 capactive buttons didnt work, had to pull the battery to get ti to start and it did it again about 20 minutes later, took out the sd card and it seemed fine for the next few hours use. Now a week later it is happening more and more frequently alot of the time it is freezing on media scanning, it will freeze on usb and sd card so it makes me wonder whether it was the sd card afterall
things i've done :
swapped roms, ive tried stock LC2, stock LC1 both deodexed versions and as a test put darky rom 3.3 earlier and it did it then, mainly when scanning and also once when trying to hook the phone up via the usb cable to transfer files.....have wiped and fomatted the sd card, the internal usb memory is next but id rather leave that as alast resort issue
im running go launcher but that shouldn't really affect the media scanning part and it freezing, the odd thing about a freeze the other night was that i couldnt get the home button or other buttons to work but the youtube video was still playing without any problems, figure that one out!
im thinking it could be that the internal memory is going faulty, is there a way to test bad blocks on the device?

What rom were you on originally?

ive tracked it down to it either being go launcher or some anomaly with other go apps as currently on darky iced 3.3 and using the tw interface not a single freeze
was lc2 rooted, started when i went back to lc1, but it was probably something that go updated and started causing it

ok scrap that, just had a freeze after deleting a backup from the sd card
Try this eMMC check app from Gplay to see if it give any clues about memory chip condition.

Hi
I have a i9305 rooted, with TWRP recovery and Rix rom v3.0. I have tried diferent versions and an other custom rom.
One week ago, every time my mobile is locked for at least 10-20 min, when unlocking it say "Cards was removed"
and then "Mounting SD-card". Its so anoying.
But the worst symptom is that the SD-card issue is making my phone hang after longer sleep times.
Example: In the morning when the alarm rings (and wakes the phone) the screen becomes unresponsive.
The sleep/wake button works but screen, back, menu and home button are unresponsive.
I have read in other forums about S3:s and other phones that are "eating" sd-cards. I dont hope my phone is one of those.
Any one have heard of this?
EDIT 1: The problemative SD-card is Sandisk:s latest 32GB microSD. I now changed to my old cheap-o-brand 8 GB microSD. And so far it seems to work flawlessly. I will continue the test.
EDIT 2: So far i have discovered that tha hanging of phone more likely depends on some thing else then the Sd card. With my "new" 8gb sd card the hanging occurs anyway despite the unmount problem now is gone. I have now uninstalled jkay delux app cous i think its the problem.
We will see soon.
Regards
Jonas
I have the same issue as well
using persus rom reduce the problem but not all
Now i get another sd-card
