Hi all,
Anyone else experienced this error, it is from the auto backup system which is standard. it says Error backing up data. An Error occured while saving your data to your SD card. The backup cannot be completed.
I have plenty of free space on the SD card and have had no problems for 2 months, then it started last week, so i decided to Root the device and see if by wiping the device that would fix it - but it has been rooted for a couple of hours and it has just come up with the same error again :-(
Any ideas?
Thanks.
You're having the SD card issue where it seems like it's mounted but it's not. Try viewing a picture or playing a song from your SD...chances are it's malfunctioned.
I had this issue all the time until I got another card.
Thanks for the quick reply - I just tried both and they worked fine. Can view pictures and play music stored on the SD card without issues.
The SD card is an 8Gb SanDisk SDHC one I have had for a couple of years, cam with the Touch HD I have from Orange I believe. Which has never caused me a problem before??!!!
I meant more the next time you get the error. My card would be fine for hours then die on me and I wouldn't really know until either that error showed or I tried to play music/podcast. If you get the error and your card is working fine then there's another issue and you should contact HTC.

hey!
I've bought a new memory SD card 1 Gb trabscend 45x.... Have a BIG problem now. When i start to play some mp3 or video files from it with different players my SD card just dissapears in a few minutes and I see the error "unable to play file". When i reinsert Sd card-same problems :-( Whats going wrong? The automatic power off is switched off. I don't know what to do.
rom 2.06.00wwe
extrom 2.06.100a
mine works fine....kingmax.... sd platium 1gb
I think it's pot luck a bit with SD cards, some work fine and some have loads of problems. My advice would be to try reformatting the card a few times, then see if there is any improvement. I've got a Lexar 32x 1GB and I've had the same issue. Part of the problem is apparently due to the way applications like TomTom read information and interpret timeouts in different ways etc. But, if you install something like StorageTools and run an integrity check, the chances are you'll find some problems.
Try 3 - 4 reformats and see if that helps.
Cheers

Hi,
Seen various SD card problems posted here and other forums but no solutions.
A few nights ago I was transferring a large number of files to my Desire and noticed the transfer windows froze so I disconnected my phone. When I then tried to turn the screen on it wouldn't turn on (though the led kept blinking). I eventually had to restart the phone by removing the battery.
Upon restarting I got an error saying the SD card was corrupted and needed to be formatted. Tried restarting again etc but didn't work so clicked on 'format' in the pop-up but nothing happened even after several attempts. Then tried doing this through the settings menu but again didn't work.
Gave up. Wake up next morning and phone screen won't come on again. Took out battery again and still had memory card problem so connected to pc and formatted card on there. I think after this the card started working again but WITH ALL THE DATA STILL ON IT. No idea how!?
This morning after 4 days working fine I connect phone to pc to transfer music and don't get an option to mount USB so I unplugged and get a new SD card error: blank SD card. SD card blank or has unsupported file system. So tried everything I tried last time but this time I can't mount the card so I can't access it on a pc to format it.
Anyone had similar problems on here? Seems to have happened to quite a few on Android forums etc. Any suggestions? Have tried putting card in and out several times. Have tried SD mount widget. Getting pretty desperate here.

had exactly the same issue you had the second time, posted, found no fix.
Using a spare sd card I had in it's place, my phone registered it as blank again the next day! It was a reboot job though and it has been fine since..
Would like to get to the bottom of this before a blow a decent sized card
I have had many many bizzare and quite frankly random SD card errors with this phone. Nearly one everyday doing something. Most of them read the same SD card missing, needs formatting, is empty or corrupted notifications. The latest one occurred 5 mins back on reinstalling NewsRoom app -- suddenly left with a totally empty SD card when trying to save RSS to it. As in every case, an immediate reboot fixed the error so I can't offer any more help.
Whenever I've had the "needs formatting" error I removed the card for a few mins before replacing it back inand it worked fine thereafter.

I've just tried leaving the card out for a few minutes with the phone off and reinserting to no avail. Tried restarting lots of times
Going to try another SD card now. Most people on other forums had problems with their stock 4gb cards whereas mine is an 8GB card i got separately. I think it's the phone at fault not the cards.
**Update** The other SD card is working fine so far. But i'm now left with a screwed up 8gb card that's not recognised by any pc. Any suggestions of how to fix this?
If my 4gb card is screwed up by the phone too i'll let you all know
So I have searched for this error and no one seems to have an answer that fits my problem. I got an error after booting that stated SD card unexpectedly removed and gave me a triangle with an exclamation point in the center
the card works fine
it will mount up perfectly from recovery, i even pushed several roms to it and tried (cyanogen, RR, and SkyRaider) all three worked beautifully, but as soon as I boot up BAM "SD card unexpectedly removed" and I can't access anything
the computer reads it just fine so I am pretty sure there is nothing wrong with the card, also with it reading in recovery it seems there is nothing wrong with the phone
is this a problem with ROMs?
I could try to do a factory reset and see if that works... but its really annoying :\
any help?
I would try reformatting the card on your PC. The card may have a bad sector that the PC and Recovery ignore. The phone OS tends to be a little more picky about those sort of things.

This worked
Thank you, I am running good now
I noticed when I was trying to backup my SD card (pictures and whatnot) that some of the files were corrupt
I will make sure I keep a regular backup just in case its a sign of the card going bad
good thing is my titanium backups were all perfect

You are on the right path - don't forget, a good practice is to back up your SD card to your PC regularly.
Why? If (when really) the SD goes wonky, you have a PC backup of the card, and you can get another SD, format it on the PC, load the backups you made, and be back in business in short order.

I lost a few pictures that I took recently but overall it wasnt a big loss
I will def be doing this more frequently
Same problem with a twist
I receive the same error only i can't get anything to read the card after it happens. Any help would be appreciated.

My solution was to format and start over, that was the only thing that worked for me
I've gotten this a few times and it is a PITA because it resets all the notification sounds and also the phone reboots. Once it does it, the only way I can get it to work is to remove the card, put it in the PC, let Win7 do a fix and repair errors and then it will work. I tried removing and reinserting, and it would mount the card and immediately give me the 'sd card unexpectedly removed' message.
I tried reformatting, and the sd card worked for a while and then I got the 'unexpectedly removed" message again after a few days. The last time it gave me that message, I just did the repair errors thing again and it's been working without fail for about 4 days now. It seems like it's going to be an ongoing thing though.
I've been googling like a mad person trying to find a real fix for this. I saw a thread on Android central where they guy said he put his wife's card in his phone and it did the same thing; but worked fine in hers. He mentioned it might be related to the 2.2 OTA update. My problem did start after that update.
In another forum thread, someone posted that they bought a new card, and it gave them the same message. So it doesn't appear to be a bad card; which is what I originally thought. I'd hate to buy a new one and have same issue (i have a 16gb card currently).
(sorry for long post)
I have the same problem! I'm using a Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 2. Previously i've been running Froyo 2.2 over the phone with a 16 GB microSD Card without problem. Later i've been using a 2 GB microSD Card and works fine, but now i'm runnin' Gingerbread ROM From verizon with 16 GB microSD Card and the messages "SD Card unexpectedly removed" don't stop.... the card works fine over other phones... even the stereo of my car can read perfectly the card's content.
I don't know if this is a problem with the update or what????
I don't think in the versions of "Bad sectors" because i check everthing and the problem persist.
The problem appears when i'm playing music... later of that the problem appears at the camera, the file explorer or another app that tries to read the SD Card.
I reboot the phone and works fine but after a couple of minutes the same [email protected]$%&t appears again....
I'm tired of reading forums telling me that is a problem with the sectors... that is a LIE!
no matters the class of the card because i've tried with Class 2, Class 4 and works fine.
This night i'll go to the store that solds me that coursed card to change it!
if tomorrow my problem was solved i been writing at this same forum!

I do not think someone saying it is bad sectors means they are lying.
I think they are merely trying to help you determine what the problem could possibly be.

did you format the card and try again as suggested earlier? That usually clears up any issues with sd cards unless they're fubar'd. Just make sure you back your card up first.
Whenever my card does this I put it into my Windows computer, right click on the card and go to properties/tools/error checking/ and check both boxes and let it run. It fixes my issues every time without formatting the card.
I had that problem a while back with one of Verizon's updates after 2.2. Reformatted card. worked fine in other phones but still said same thing everytine I put it back in the dinc. Ended up getting a new SD card then all was fine.

If you have an ext extension on your sd use G-Parted (google it) to format your ext2/3/4 partition.
for some time I was using a Samsung 8GB SDHC Class 2 which came with the device.
I have made it a Goldcard, rooted the phone and installed Froyo. then I began to get SD Card Unexpectedly Removed errors after a few minutes of using an app instaled on SD (mostly when I tried to run ColorDict, which keeps dict data on SD). I am not sure, but I think this began to happen when I tried to upgrade to OTA 2.29 and "Red Triangle of Death" (lol) appeared... my Desire was getting unusable as it happened more frequently and required the phone to be powered off and the card to be taken out and insterted again. I tried formatting from Windows level, from phone level, checking for errors, bad sectors etc, but everything failed, so I bought Kingston 16GB SDHC Class 4. and, as you can expect, nothing really improved. well, maybe the errors were a little less frequent.
so I tried to change the ROM, yesterday I have flashed LeeDroid 2.3d No-A2SD, since then the error came twice - first when I tried to wipe sdext in recovery and about five minutes ago, while accessing the card with Root Explorer. I have to stress out that I use the SD intensively through the day as I install apps and test new games. so it seems that the appearence of that error is somehow related to ROM as normally it would happen much more frequently.
did anyone experience similar coincidence?
I have had the SD Card unmount itself randomly before with a custom ROM but it has been a one off. I just rebooted and it was working.
However, your problem is quite extensive. I guess you could just sort of leave it for a whole day not doing anything and see if anything happens. If so, then it could be a number of reasons. Reformat, check for errors (thoroughly), change your ROM to stock and test that out.
I flashed my uk defy to the nordic 2.2.2 rom after hearing good things about it. Since flashing my phone kept freezing and switching off for no reason, so I did a couple of resets that didnt fix the problem....
I noticed that the crashes were happening whenever the sd card was being accessed for a bit (e.g. looking at the gallery). I reformatted the card a few times but it still kept crashing. It had never crashed on 2.1 that I had been using before. The card is a 16gb class 10 which worked fine on my old desire which was on 2.2.
Anyway, I transferred all my stuff to my older 4gb class 6 and everything has been working great since (the nordic rom is very nice and smooth).
Has anybody else had sd card issues on their defys? I'd quite like to use my 16gb card...

i had the same issues with a 16Gb ADATA class 6 card. The probplems were present under eclair, but it did not freeze the phone. Look at the dmesg output if it has some lines with io error -110 you have the sam problem as me. i changed tha cad to kingson and since then no problem
Ive checked the dmesg output with the card in and it brings back all sorts of errors which are mostly unable to detect errors where the phone just stops detecting everythin from the sensors to the camera to the screen, its ever likely it goes unresponsive. Very odd that the sd card can cause these sorts of issues.

My 4GB card has started to have the same issues now after working ok for a day or two....
I'll post a dmesg log later today as it's on my phone which i can't get to right now.
I've managed to get a log saved with issues concerning the memory card at last, my previous attempts contained hundreds and hundreds of duplicate unable to detect errors.
It seems that the phone stops writing to the card properly, or at all (e.g. when creating thumbnails in the gallery), and then the other issues start.
Same problem here. 16GB ADATA class 6 card, phone freeze after few minutes (PowerAmp player was indexing new music files).
Can anyone check if this issue is solved in CM7? Thanks
Hi Dmesg logs attached, can anybody provide any help?
Those errors are the same i had with my adata16gb class 6 card. The only solution i have found was replaceing them with a kingston... My card was perfect with my notebook but unusable with my defy. The errors were present under eclair too but froyo seems moch more sensitive to those errors
Yes, I had exactly the same issues with Transcend Class 6 8Gb card. Seemed to work fine for most things but music access caused phone to crash. laptop reads it fine.
Would wiping the card in recovery solve these problems ? I'm having exactly the same right now ?
If wiping doesn't help I would have to get a new sd card. However the error also occurs with my stock 2gb sd card. So I guess it doesn't work because I didn't wipe before flashing.
