I don't seem to be having much luck with my Desire what with Youtube sync problems, connectivity issues and now a nice new problem has occurred for a second time so I thought it was worth throwing it out and see if anyone else has experienced this.
Twice now my phone has popped up with a message saying its unable to complete a back up of my settings to the SD Card. After this message is dismissed I can no longer access the SD Card and I have to restart the phone to get it back again. I can eject the sdcard from the settings menu but obviously you can't actually get the thing out so that option is kind of worthless.
Starting to think it might be worth getting a replacement handset, but not certain there is anything actually wrong with it. For reference I have a 4gig SD card that came pre-installed as seems the norm with the HTC Desire.
Your memory card is probably loose.
Happened to me ONCE. I took it out, gave it a clean, shoved it back in and had no problems since,

I have the same issue Intermittent and irritating. I have taken it out and reseated it but after a while it comes back again.

I was making do with a very slow O2 Orbit for a while and then I worked out what it was.
After soft reset iit was reasonably fast, sd card speed testers telling me that my sandisk 2G ultimate was excellent. Then a little later it was useless. Loading from SD was very slow.
I noticed that it started getting slower after it had gone into hibernation after no use for a short period. I went into "power", "advanced" and took the tick out of "turn device off if not used for" ...
Now it stay at full speed all the time !!
Has anybody else noticed this?, and does anybody know why?
Could it be a bug?, could it be an answer to corrupt cards.
I recon that the power being supplied to the card is less in these circumstances.
From the lack of responses I would guess that I am the only one getting this.
I wonder if this means there is a fault with the card?
No i don't think it's a fault with your card - i'm getting the same thing, but hadn't linked it to hibernation. Every now and then i check the card just to see if it's corrupt and i need to soft reset (fingers crossed i haven't had to for a few weeks now), and what i'll find is that it'll run like a dog just pulling up the list of things on it the very first time, and then after it's up to speed, i wont have issues again, until much later (as it happens after it's turned itself off and i've turned it back on).
No idea what it is though.
Since I've had my Artemis occasionally after a soft reset the SD card appears as not installed. I would have to remove the battery and sim etc, replace the SD card into the holder and start-up the phone and it'd usually be ok. The only trouble is lately it seems to be doing this more frequently and it is becoming more difficult to get the phone to recognise the card upon start-up again. Anyone else experience this? Have an cure?
i've had the same problem on my magican. The solution i found was to remove the SD card and place it back. It seems to me that cardreader's contacts broken.
Its big but you must read first.

So the card is corrupt? Because when I stick it into my pc it reads it perfectly fine, no problems or slowness.
My phone has stopped recognising the card completely now, but when I started the phone in safe mode using iLauncher it recognised it surprisingly. I'm suspecting there may be a piece of software or a setting stopping the phone from recognising it. I'll have a read through that link some more tho just in case there is a solution.
If anyone else has another solution then it would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Update: I've tried another 2 known working SD cards and neither of which are recognised by my device to it looks as tho its an issue with the phone and not the card. Has anyone experienced this before?
I've the same problem. I use 2 SanDisk cards, 512Mb and 2Gb, both of them seem to disappear as I boot the device. It hapens 50% of times and begins when I installed the HTC ArtemisSDEnhancement program.
I've tried to uninstall and reinstall several times and to format the crad but the errors continues at the 50% times.
When the P3300 reads the card I notice an abnormal slow response to any input and at the end it hungs for a big while. If you leave it alone it comes back but I usually need the phone now and I must have to soft reset.
I'm about to hard reset and try again but I don't have time.
Well I hard reset my device before I was going to post it back to o2 for a replacement and surprise surprise its working fine again!
That was 23 days ago and since then its behaved perfectly. I've installed the SD enchancement just in case but not certain if that's made any difference. Finger crossed its the last time the card starts disappearing.
This happens on my MDA C3 too now and again.
When it does, a soft reset does not solve it.
I have to take the battery out and then reinsert it.
After powering up the problemis not there.
Anyone know why this is happening as its really inconvenient to keep taking the battery out.
Thanks in advance.
BTW, one thing I have noticed, it seems to happen more often after a registry value change if that help anyone???
Last time this happened, it went away by itself, but now it's not. I can't get rid of the Error SD Card is Read Only notification. This was after I was transfering some file from my computer to my phone
Happened to me before. I had to format the card to get it to work again
sent from my DAMN EVO
Happened to myself and others. I'm noticing that it's a repeating issue with my phone. It's pretty chronic. I'm thinking that its a hardware issue.
I keep seeing a message saying sd card was suddenly removed, and then it reactivates the SD card and everythings fine, and sooner or later, the cycle keeps repeating.
I saw this happening in the last week or so on my galaxy s3 i had before the note 2, so i know its not the phone and its the card.. but i was wondering what i could do to maybe fix this? I already tried formatting the sd card once, but im thinking maybe this card is permanetely damaged somehow?? Anything I can do to kinda get it to stop acting up or am i out of luck?
If you can backup the contents of your SD card to a PC, try this video...

This is apparently a recurring issue, it happens on my 64gb uhs1 card too, and its a genuine card. I still haven't been able to track down the cause of it, and it's fairly annoying. The card just locks up and ignores commands sent to it and the kernel times out on it and sees it as dead. No actual data loss or anything.
yeah.. i feel like everytime i turn the screen on i see 'preparing SD card'
im thinking it has an effect on battery too.
Hi all,
I bought the phone in the subject almost 3/4 months ago and I always had issues with the sd card I bought (sandisk Ultra 128GB) as, at the beginning when the phone was using Oreo 8.1 the card was constantly resulting as not connected (External card stopped working) however thi swas working despite the error.
I have previously noticed that the phone was rebooting itself every now and then but I never paid to much attention to it.
Since I updated to Android Pie, however, this issue started becoming more persistent. In a day the phone can reboot itself multiple times (sometimes even 5/6 times in a short period) and, although the card is not failing anymore prompting the error message preaviously mentioned, this still keeps giving problems as, right after reboot the card is not recognised and a different message is prompted saying that the card has not been inserted in the device.
The error disappears only after I unlock the phone as this is recognised and the apps are loaded.
Reading through the internet I noticed that many people face the same problem or similar and no fix as been provided as of yet.
I tried everything I could: Factory reset, flashing the stock rom from scratch (following the forum's thread), using the phone in Safe Mode (in this case the card wasn't loaded by the system so no reboot happened or at least not fort the time has been in safe mode) and updating to the latest version of Pie but nothing.
I also ran an hardware test to see if the issue was due to a bad hardware component and I still have a monitoring app in case the issue happens again (as it is really random. sometimes it can pass an entire day before the issue arises again).
Has anyone had a similar issue and found a fix/workaround?
I really love the product and I think this is something that can happen as, by my point of view, this is something caused by the software or the stock rom itself, however I would like this to be resolved as, at the moment, this is really frustrating, plus being a long time issue I think it might cause serious problems to the phone's hardware.
Please let me know.
Best regards to all of you,
Davide
Is your sandisk fake?
You can checked wit app call "sd insight" , but the app only works on old OS (latest i try jelly bean 4.1)
But even your sandisk fake, the only common thing happened is the sd card ejected or android remounting over and over thats all , not until reboot randomly (based on my experience using fake ext sd card)
Maybe you can try with another sd card you have or your friends have, if the symptom happened again , I dont want to judge but maybe its hardware problem? But dont know for sure just my 2 cents bro...

How did you format your card? Did you use internal or external option? Saw few posts with same issues and strange enough all with Sandisk cards.
