You may remember me. I posted a thread before about 'sd card failure'.
I stopped posting because the problem was gone. until now.
I was listening to same music when I got a notification that my battery was low, then my Kaiser hung, I soft reset it and then it stopped reading the SD card.
I tried a hard-reset, no go.
My PC is reading both (a 1 GB and a 8 GB micro SD card) without any problems
Any ideas what happened?
I going to find out how I fixed it the first time, but I’m afraid that it was an accidental repair.
Have you tried accessing the sd card on a PC to ensure the events of the hang did not corrupt the card in some way?
Yes I have,
to be sure I formated the SD card. Didn't work.
Guys, sorry..
The Kaiser is reading the sd-card again.
I hate it whene I dont understand what is wrong.
Sorry for the ****like English
Thanks for help anyway
All HTC phone types have this same problem. It does not occur often, but when it does all you can do is re-insert, and re-insert, and re-insert... until suddenly the problem is gone again. I don't think anyone knows what causes it, but taking the card out and putting it back in 10-20 times seems a sure way to fix it.

Good to here I'm not the onlyone with this problem.
Thanks for de replays
You all didn't mention what brand/size/type card? I had this problem with every HTC phone I owned, EXCEPT the Tilt/Kaiser. I'm on my 10th month now with -0- problems.

Exact same here. Just not 10 months yet
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?
So I have to reboot my Galaxy S about 10-20 times a day -- every day -- because it disappears all the time. I have an external card in there too - but that too goes missing.
Anyone know how to fix this ?
no one knows why this happens ?
no one has EVER had their SD card disappear randomly and have to reboot ?
I don't buy that.
Apparently the 51 viewers as of this post haven't had this problem.
I certainly haven't.
Maybe someone that has, will show up.
It's just super annoying

Might help to know what firmware and apps you are running.
maybe you need to format the card inside the phone using the built in format app. Maybe you have a fake card. Maybe you have bad phone, in that case get it looked at
happened to me for a few days too.
Went uninstalling everything (tried a bunch of podcast/rss readers trying to find something that could handle passworded podcast feeds) as well as the games I was trying out and a few apps.
Hasn't happened since so one of them had to be the culprit.
- Completely vanilla sgs-i9000m from Bell, just unlocked. Not even rooted.
Alright, someone has had a similar problem but not exactly this one. I went to begin my book tonight only to get "SD Card not Found." I turn around my Nook, notice the SD Card has popped out, I try to shove it in, it makes the clicking noise but pops back out... I repeat, it pops back out ...any suggestions?
Edit: Tried 2 different SD cards

Yeah, kind of confirmed what I already knew but didn't want to admit to myself. This should be fun returning to stock.
If you're running any of the rooted stock roms(1.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.1.0), and if I remember correctly, there should be a way through adb to set the nook up to self-reboot 8 times and kick in the factory reset. Without you having to touch it. Try looking through the development forum and nookdevs, I know it's in there somewhere.
restore using the stock images using a bootable SD card and 1.0.1 image and just hold the sd card in with your fingernail (or your girlfriends if you don't have any). It'll mean a slightly achey and tired finger but it works.
I had exactly this problem with my first Nook 2 months ago. I didn't notice that it had popped out until after a failed rooting (autonooter) attempt. I was convinced that I had bricked my nook.
A bad microSD slot is a deal breaker. You NEED that slot to work. Take it back while you still can. (The gargoyle at the WalMart that I returned to scrutinized the serial numbers intensely, but didn't even turn the thing on)
Hey all,
I ran into an issue with this message and was able to resolve it. My round-about story (with all the details, some immaterial to the issue)...
The issue: Anytime the phone would be accessed/woken up after a few minutes of not being used, I would get the message to check the battery cover. I also would get the message when rebooting but that one appears to be normal. The one that appears each time after minutes of inactivity is not normal. I would only get the message to check the charging port cover after removing the charging cable, so that always remained normal and as it should.
I did the usual: ensured that the battery cover was on correctly, securely and entirely...several times. I figured it was an issue that I was going to have to live with. I also noticed that I would intermittently get a message about my SD card. Sometimes the error would say that it is blank, sometimes it would say it is blank or has unsupported files on it, other times it would simply tell me it was safe to remove my SD card. All for no apparent reason. I placed my card in my daughter's S5 and it worked. Placed it in my wife's S5 and it worked. Checked it on my PC and it worked. I even went so far as to wipe it out, format it and try again. Still received the error message on my phone. Not frequently but often enough to where I began to wonder if I was sold a bad phone.
I read some folks recommended doing a factory reset. I had nothing to lose so I did. I was reinstalling everything and things went well for the first few minutes and then the screen died. The phone was live, the buttons would light up but the screen would never turn on. I immediately headed over to the store and spoke with a really cool manager would agreed to swap out the phone for a new one since I have only had it 3 weeks (as opposed to sending me to the circus tent that is the maintenance facility). New SIM, new phone. Was a happy camper.
Got home, installed everything...and again....the messages started coming to check the battery cover. Frustrated I just decided that it was an issue I was going to have to live with afterall. Hopefully a fix will come about later, right? Well, it wasn't too much longer that the SD errors started again but this time more often. This can't be good. So, I decided to try swapping out the SD cards on my phone and my daughter's phone for a longer period of time. Let's do it overnight. So, in the morning I checked my phone (with her SD card). No messages at all. I checked her phone with my SD card. Hers now had the check batter cover message. I let both sit for a few minutes and checked them again. No messages on mine, but hers once again had the check battery cover. No errors regarding the SD card tho and it was able to access the content on the SD card just fine. Both SD Cards are 16GB SanDisk.
So, to further test, I swapped the SD cards again, putting her card back in her phone and mine back in my phone. Sure enough, mine was getting the check battery cover and hers was not.
So, long story short, it turns out that my SD card is causing the check battery message. It was throwing SD card errors on my phone but not on hers. So, for those people getting the constant battery cover message but not getting the SD card errors....try swapping out SD cards and see if that resolves the issue.
Hope that helps and wasn't too wordy...just wanted to make sure all the info was there.
EDIT:
SD Card that went bad was SanDisk microSD 16GB. Was replaced with an identical card and works fine. It has been a couple of weeks now and the replacement SD card in my GS5 continues to function properly and I no longer get the pop-ups unless I reboot or have actually removed the battery cover. I left the bad one in my tablet this whole time just to see and sure enough it was giving errors for a week and now it simply no longer works.

Um no. Obviously there was an SD card issue. That needs to be taken care of. Oh somethings wrong here let me get rid of the warnings. That's not how things are done. Whether you take the pop ups away or not doesn't fix the problem. It's just not allowing to tell you the problem

Damn I was hoping for something different. I'm getting the same messages,
But I haven't put a SD CARD in yet. Still have my Note 2 running, S5 is a work phone. I've tried different ways to install cover. Mostly following the pressure point indications that flash up with the message pops up.
I'll monitor it, I can't remember when the last time I've seen them. Forgot phone at work yesterday charging it.
If I don't get messages any more, my fix was putting the cover on starting at the top. You definitely need to hear the clicks on all sides. I noticed sometimes I would not hear the top click if I started putting cover on from the bottom or sides.
Good find on the SDCARD issue though. Can you edit your first post and add in make/model of the cards that are working for you, and the one that is causing errors as reference.
It would be interesting to know if it's specific makes/models/sizes of cards that cause the message.

Actually, you were treating the symptom, not the cause. That's the same as if your car was leaking oil in the driveway and you simply put a pan under the car to catch the oil. Sure, you are no longer getting oil on your driveway but it doesn't change the fact that your car still has an oil leak and will eventually lock up the engine if not fixed. By fixing the actual problem (bad SD card), I was able to resolve the pop-up notices.
Fix the problem and the symptoms go away.

When everything is working properly do you get the "check battery" pop up after reboot and "check charging flap" after charging? YES it's built in annoying I was offerin a suggestion to get rid of those annoying pop ups that is all.

Yes, the message does now appear only when it is supposed to and no longer appears when it is not supposed to. When it appears as designed, it is not a problem. It may an annoyance to some, but is in no way a problem because that's what it was designed to do. When the pop-ups do appear at times when it is not supposed to then it is considered a problem because that isn't what it was designed to do. Mine was doing it when it wasn't supposed to. This is why the title of the post was called "Check Battery Cover message problem" and not "Check Battery Cover message toggle to shut it off from showing up when it's supposed to."

Wow that's a trip. I was expecting it to be an issue with maybe the top of the card being slighter fatter.
I was beginning to question whether the I-Balson case I put on it was tripping a sensor.

Slightly bend connectors - Samsung S5 - check batteri message
Hi!
I´ve also had the same issue for some time and it started when I got a new flip wallet case. Now I got real tired of this and I tried to solve the issue by simply and carefully BEND the two connectors on the back of the phone nearby the camera. And that SOLVED my issue - the message is gone!! Before it came frequently all the time. :good:

I know this is an old thread, but oh man! is this guy for real? can't tell if it's a poor attempt at trolling, or a poor attempt at issue comprehension and resolution.
Old thread but I just got bit in the butt by this one. I was only getting the message about the back cover on reboots. I would have thought that you would never see this message unless there was an issue, but did some reading and it seemed that this was normal behavior. So I took the phone snorkling (yes I know you're not supposed to take it in salt water but figured I could clean out the headphone jack). By the time I took it out of my pocket to take pics, it was dead (no more than 5 minutes). Took off the back cover, found water which left salt behind after it dried. Phone has not recovered, I am going to try to take it apart this weekend and clean out the salt. It was a work phone and already been replaced, but I'd like to try to get the pictures off of this from my vacation. It would be nice if there was a way to know for sure if the phone is properly sealed up before going into the water with it. Work gave me another S5, but I won't be exposing it to any water because I can't trust that it's properly sealed.
