I have to reset my phone about 15-20 time a day because my SD card disappears. By itself. All the time.
Can anyone tell me a) WHY this happens and b) HOW to stop it ?
I have a 32 gb external. The phone is relatively untouched (vanilla with Root that's all I've done to it)
But it really bothers me because I have to reset my phone just to take pictures/video's etc. It's always unavailable. Both my internal and external card.
How the hell do I stop it from disappearing ? What is the cause ?
Wow, that seems VERY ODD. eh. Did you format the card using your phone? if not I recommend you do it. settings/sd card and phone settings/unmount external sd card then FORMAT. I know there could be some bugs if you format using a PC. If that does not help then MAYBE you have a fake 32gig card? or worst of all your phone's hardware might be at fault then you will need to return it. Other then that I guess you will need to google "32gig SD samsung galaxy S problem"
Does this happen with stock f/w and without external sd? if yes u probably want to visit the service centre, if not its some problem with your rom / root / 32g card... ? Also, is the ext sd mounted under settings > sd ?
But how are these related to android dev...??
I know this thread will be disappearing to the general forum
I'd try letting the phone reformat the card, throw some files and double check it with the phone. maybe your card's a fake and can't really hold that much, so it craps out? that's all I can think of.
Try another card to see if the issue is the phone or the card.
Also check the contacts on the card and the slot for dirt or bent pins, wipe with a micofiber cloth to remove any fat or other residue.

Dude, what widgets do you have installed?
I know you say it's vanilla, but an app can do this when it refreshes.

I had this happen when I used the "partition SD card" option in ROM Manager. It killed the SD card and made my internal memory unreadable. I formatted the dead sd on my pc and that worked for a bit but then it couldn't read it again. I did a complete data wipe and that seems to have worked for the internal memory. Now I'm using a new sd card. What's weird is that the SD that phone refuses to read, my GF's phone recognizes it...
yesterday i had similar issues. dont know if they are gone.
i couldnt play music - "cant play the codec" error msg - it was the sd card, but only the external.

i had a problem with my sd card before, then, the memory was dissapearing. I got a new sd card. it was ok for a dew weeks, but now, i cant download anything or even move any file from my pc using usb, even when there is some memory left ! when i move a song into sd card, it stays there until I unplug usb, then it just disappars. Sometimes i cant listen to songs, see pictures or use some apps in sd card because they disappears, but most of the time it fixes after reboot.
any soliutions for this kind of problem ?
I dony really know about that. It may be rom issue. Some said that u must have some free space on sd card, u cant fully fill your sd card.

Hi xdo,
Can you give us info what rom and kernel you use?
In my assumption maybe your card is damage.
Please clarify some things for better assistance
rom I'm using is Froyobread v023b, but i used it about 4 month without any problems, kernel I'm using is stock one, I never unlocked bootloader. I dont think that the sd cart is demaged because it is almost like new. Today, remounted the card, rebooted my phone and i was able to download some pictures to my phone, but after a few mins i wasn't able to do anything again.
Did you formated it ?
Sent from my X8 running nAa and D_d piece of art called MiniCM9.
yes, i formated it before using. then, i moved everything from my last sd to the new one
try wipe it with partition wizard if it help...
Virus maybe?
You say you copied all your files from the old to the new. maybe the old had a particularly vicious virus and you copied it to your new card?
if there is a virus, what should I do?
Hi everyone, I'm having a big problem with the micro-sd card... Some time ago, notifications stating that the card was incorrectly removed started appearing, usually after reboot it was ok for some time, then it would happen again. I tried formatting the card, running chkdsk and even replaced it twice, but the problem has got worse: now the card is completely unrecognized, neither in settings (it acts as if no card were inside the slot) nor in hboot (doesn't even try to look for PG32IMG, though I find that when I boot to the bootloader with the card in, there's a small delay between when the menu appears and when it becomes responsive) nor in the recovery (E: can't mount /sdcard). I'm able to install roms through the recovery by moving the file to /data and then mounting /data as /sdcard (fastboot might work as well), but I can't do anything else that requires sdcard (eg. camera, downloading files, receiving files via bluetooth and so on). At present I have Nik_Project_X v4.1, Clockworkmod recovery version 5.0.72 (if I remember well) and Revolutionary HBOOT.
Any suggestions? Thanks
Did you try different ROMs? Do other SD-cards work?
Like all good things that come to an end, even SD cards die...
There is no expected life time, so they can die.
Don't think it has anything to do with your phone or ROM, i suggest getting yourself a new one
Yes, I changed rom twice and, as i said, tried at least 3 different sd cards
So if your phone doesn't recognize any SD-cards it seems like your sd-port in the phone is shot... If u can regain warranty, you can send it to htc and if not, good luck finding sb else...
I notice same problem after upgrade to 4.0.4. For me solution is - smaller card and less files in it - 16GB got unusable, half empty 8GB works
That happened to me, it kept saying that the SD card was damaged. So I got it repaired by HTC and it works fine after

I still have that problem with 8-16gb sd cards, only work with 4gb card but that is too small for me, what can i do for that problem?
Even half empty 8gb cards don't work for me
Hi all, my incredible s was working fine till today afternoon when i got a 32gb memory card, and when i first inserted it into my phone it recognized it fine and everything. after unmounting it and reinserting my old 8gb card back in so i can transfer the files over, the memory card started acting weirdly and kept unmounting itself and the phone says "sd card safe to remove" some of the times. the 32gb card failed completely. my warranty is over as well. running latest version of cyanvivox, but that had never caused any sd card problems for me. rebooting did not solve anything either, any help can be given?
I would recommend copying all your files from one card to the next on a computer than turning your phone off, insert the card and boot it up. Should work fine.

had the same problem for monthes. I had gone through all the efforts to fix it like you.
finally I found a clue.
On the back cover, there are two pairs of pins which supposed to connected to
the terminals on the phone, which are not connected well. so I bent the springs
up a little bit and made connection well. (be very careful not break the springs).
then SD card show up right away. It's being working for days and no more
problem.
hope it helps everyone.
Sorry for my poor English.
Yesterday, i faced a problem of "SD card blank", I cannot access into the sd card no matter i tried in my phone or connect to my pc,
however i figure out that if i go to recovery mode, i can find my sd card and the file was entirely the same before.
I wounder can anyone of you can help me to get back my photos and videos, it is memorable for me and i nearly cry.
Please help me!!

If you don't find other solution, put the card in an adaptor and just copy them to the PC.
Have you by chance deleted a folder called external SD from your memory card, coz it formats your sd card. Try recovering files from sd card through connecting it via some other usb card reader.
there are programs, that can save the photos even if you format a disk or in this case a sd card...
let me find one for you,,,, don't know if it works...read in here...
http://www.easeus.com/resource/sd-card-format-recovery.htm.
of course there must be other programs better and free, I really don't know if this easeus is of any good...
never tried...
you must have a sd card reader in your pc of course...
thx guys
i tried to use other adapter and i find no change as i still can not found the sd card via pc.
i sure that i have not delete the file of external SD, it keep showing Blank SD on my 4x.
i am really frustrated about that...:crying:
Maybe sdcard got corrupted. Try formating the card from your phone if it gives you the option. I dont think this will be repeated.
sad..
in fact i dun care about do the sd card can function after all.
i just wonder can i get back my file:crying::crying:

may be your sd card has corrupted or it is fake, how long are you using it?
once i bought a fake 16gb card it worked good for few days and then the same situation as you are in. and i found no solution to recovery my files as it becomes strange, files are there but you can't use them anymore, can't delete them or copy them.
try using some partition manager after inserting your card into your pc and check if your card is there, and it's status.
if your card is fake, i have no solution,
if it's corrupted, it can be brought back to life by formatting or using other partition recovery tools i think.
i dun know whether it is fake or not, but i have used it for around half a year already.
i dun care whether it can come alive i just want to get back my data.
today i have send the sd card to a engineer, he said he fix it but it cost a large amount of money and i am not able to afford it.
and then he recover the sd card to the original situation.
it means that there must be a solution for it.
can anyone help:crying:
i had the same problem too. my 32GB went on and off after i dropped it from 1 meter high.
i used these two recover as much as my files as possible.

I only get this message once I insert the microsd card into the tablet, I get the option not now or go to my files, and I always press not now, and it never come up again until I take out the card and re insert.
do you keep taking out the card or does the message just comes up without you removing/insert the card.

Backup all your data from sd card and format the card from settings/storage
Probably a card on its way out.

thank you guys for your quick reply. Apologize for the insufficient info. Okay, initially when I inserted the card, the tab is in off mode. Once I powered it up, I didn't get that message. I straight away go to my files and the sd card content is already there, so I thought that is normal, but after a while that message cames on. It goes off once you touch anywhere on the screen or the soft keys. This thing happened on and on. the only thing I haven't done is formatting the card. I gonna try that method afterwards. wish me luck...>_<

It is always best to go through the procedures when insert or removing the sd card, use the menu and unmounts the SD card then format, it's best not to continuous taking out the SD card, even though you can do that.
hmm.... I believe I have tried doing all the method mention before. no joy... formatting process unable to complete(using onboard programme), its only done half way before that message appear again....tried several times....still the same....can't format using PC(ahh....couldn't find my card reader)..so I've concluded that I have to change a new card...even though previously all the content inside works flawlessly. anyway....thanks all for the advices given.
I had that problem with an old microSD and my T810. Changing it with a new one (faster and best branded) solved the problem.
No more messages.

There are two more method you can try, download the Panasonic SD formatter and use that program to format the SD card, or you can format the card using a old nokia phone that runs on the old S40 OS.

I had a 16gb sandisk do this on my s2, swapped it yesterday for a newer, faster 64gb card and so far so good. I'd try a different card or buy a new one.

wow... I wanna give this method a try, looks very promising....
I can't guarantee that the SD formatter work,but it's. A very good program made by the SD association, but the Nokia one has a good chance, previously I has some dead micros, and some that will not detect, even on a PC, the nokia fixed it.
