Searched the G2 forum and didn't find a topic like this.
I am on my second G2, and although I don't necessarily like this one better than the first it was way cheaper than the first.
I am contemplating sending this one back too because I randomly keep getting messages saying "SD Card Unexpectedly Unmounted" and the only way I can get it to "mount back" is removing the battery card and manipulating the card in some way.
It's really annoying, and if it wasn't for that one problem I wouldn't exchange the phone.
Anyone know why this could be happening?
happened to me once. All I did was click the notification and it mounted it

Hmm, I will try that next time.
Has it happened again after that?

No not at all. What sd are you using?
Happened to me a ton of times, until I got annoyed by it.
I reformatted the card and re-loaded my data back on and the prob was gone. There was a couple of corrupt files on the card.

I have 2 games I downloaded from amazon app store. Seems like after I reboot phone they are showed up as being on the SD card, even though I did not put them there. When I click on the app, it says "application not installed on phone". Any ideas on what is going on?
Im having the same problem...

Why not just post it on here so everyone can see the solution.
Everytime I try to download something it gives me unsuccessful: Memory Card Does Not Exist. Have anybody ran into this problem?

Try rebooting. If that doesn't work, try cleaning the sd card contacts with a rubber eraser

Thanks for responding. I will try the rubber eraser. I tried to reboot but to no avail.

You may want to take your SD card out and put it in your computer. transfer all data to a safe place then put your SD back in the phone and format it. You can then put your data back on the card and should be good to go unless the card itself is borked which does happen occasionally. Happened to me and I lost a years worth of pictures and other data.
Its just doesn't make sense to me. I tried the eraser thing and that didnt work. I can download from the market with no problem. I dont have any problems accessing my files on my SD Card either. Its just only when I go to download a zip file from one of those file sharing sites it gives me the memory card does not exist.
Epic Life, Epic Phone... It all makes sense to me.
Actually your better formatting it on the computer too. The phone doesn't always do the best job.
I was really trying to avoid reformatting. I wonder how that happened.

It only takes an hour and you'll enjoy the difference. I do it every few months. As long as you back up right before.

1. Turn phone off and remove card
2. Put card in adapter and then in computer
3. Make a folder in desktop named sdsave
4. Right click sd card and copy
5. Paste into new folder
6. Right click sd card and choose to format. Make sure it's set to fat32
7. Format
8. Go into sdsave and highlight all folders and items and copy them back to card

Is anybody else getting this error when starting Locations?
I'm on Coredroid 3.5 with Faux 003b10
No sorry can't reproduce that here. Have you tried reflashing Rom (without wipe) in aroma and see if it continues to give that message?

it says your storage is full. Clean out your internal sd card & try again.
Nup...it's not the memory space for sure cos i still have a couple of GB free space. I've had this before on different ROM. Really can't catch what causes it. It works for a couple of days and then i get this msg for a couple of days and give it time, it will start working again....
I guess i'll try re-flashing and see if that helps. Have not tried that.
Thanks for the reply guys.

Absolutely not the problem of memory/storage. Brand new phone; has more than 1.63 GB internal and 18GB external space available. Mine happens every single time I try to start "My Locations"

I woke up today with this problem, I'm on the stock ROM
if this could help, I found that the battery was out at 11 AM though I left it at like 73% at 2 AM and when I plugged it in the charger and turned it off the locations app had this issue
Potential solution...
Hi All,
I had the same thing. Got on to HTC who told me to do a factory reset almost as soon as they answered the phone (they really were completely useless).
However, I powered down the phone, powered it up again, and it worked. I'm assuming that you've all tried that!!
Here's hoping it works for you too.
Cheers.
I've been on the cm 10.1 rc2 since it was released without issue.
I'm constantly listening to music stored on my sd so I know this problem is short lived.
Last night my phone would start skipping every couple of songs and eventually it would stop reading the sdcard. A restart would fix this for about 5 minutes. All of today up until about 20 minutes ago my phone would constantly say "preparing sd" or "sd card removed unexpectedly"
I tried removing and reinserting the sd card multiple times and same issue. My sd card became inaccessible on my phone. I tried accessing it via twrp and it worked sort of. It was EXTREMELY laggy trying to navigate through sd card contents.
I thought my sd card was gone so I put it in my evolte and the phone read it no problem and played my music no problem. I put it back in my s3 and it still wouldn't do anything. Now it seems to have fixed itself but I wouldn't be surprised if it happens again soon

It sounds like the SD Card is on it's way out. But you might be able to salvage it. I use SD Formatter. It works wonders. I would back up everything. Then format the SD Card.

Thanks, I'll try formatting it. The odd thing is my s3 stopped reading the sd card completely but I popped it into my evolte and its reading it just fine.

Just an update. Haven't had a chance to format the card but my evo lte has had no trouble reading as where my s3 wont even detect when the card goes in

It is still possible that the problem is the sd card - if the evo has better sd hardware, then that could explain why it isn't affected yet...
But it is also possible that the gs3's hardware is starting to fail - one way to test it is to try another sd card in the gs3. If it reads the other card just fine, that should be enough to reasonably rule out failing hardware (trying the card in a different phone is a good step, but not definitive proof by itself). If you don't have any spare sd cards, see if you can borrow a friend's for a minute (no need to alter their files, so hopefully you can find at least one person who won't have any objections)

Well I've put in 3 different cards right now, including the one that initially gave me trouble(without any fotmatting) and the phone has read all of them no problem.

I spent £28 on this from the play store yesterday, Downloaded and activated the maps then ran the software. It crashes back to the home screen every time i run it. I sent sygic and email confirming my phone spec etc but as of yet i haven't received anything back. How do i get a refund? Also has anyone else tried sygic on the G3?

do you have microSD card with "Sygic" folder? if the answer is yes, move this folder to the internal storage and try again.

I have Sygic working on my G3 just fine, but i had to move the folder to the internal, because the idiots from google made those limitations for sd cards.
was hoping it would help you too.
