Woke up this morning and my live wallpaper which uses my camera photos has stopped working, I also had a notification saying my SD card has unexpectedly unmounted.
Its done this before when I had not put in in correctly, so I powered the phone down and removed and reinstered the card, then rebooted. Nothing, the card was not found.
I have another 4gb card which I tried in my phone and that was picked up right away. the 8gb which came with the phone is not found in a helmet camera I have or by my laptop either. So I have come to the conclusion it has died completely.
Is there anyway I can recover the data from this or is it a lost cause?
*Note to self, backup more often!*

Hi, I just want to see if this is a common problem or it's just my memory card. I bought a 16GB card from Newegg to hold all my music and whenever the card is actually in my phone, (Flashed to EnergyROM Geneis), it is SLOW. Lagging everywhere, almost useless and occassionaly after long hours will give me a "emergency low memory" error, and I will have to reset by taking the battery out. When I remove the card, after a few minutes the phone is MUCH faster, it still lags a bit, but definately useable, and it's just very smooth compared to the jaggy and stiff movements when the card is in.
Whats up? Thanks.
naa, i wouldnt say this is normal mate, prob a duff memory card, try another one and see how it goes.... i have noticed a slow-down on mine when i use my storage card to save all my emails , but apart from that, no difference card in / card out.
Come to think of it.... I may be having the same problem.
About a week ago I installed 3 new pieces of software. After a few days I noticed that my phone has been feeling laggy. So 1 by1 I unistalled the software... still the problem persists.
Reading your post made me think... hmm about a week ago I also installed a 4 gb memory card! The card works fine, I can access it, and store stuff on it.
Also, come to think of it. I was making panoramic photos last night and my phone kept freezing after the 2nd photos. And would crash- resetting itself. I had the phone set to save images to the card. Setting it to save them to the phone it stopped crashing... maybe my memory card is too slow. Perhaps, there is a setting in the phone which affects the through put from the phone to the card that can be tweaked. I seam to remember see settings for power saving features for the micro sd card.. Could this be the culprit?
my well-used card made my tp2 quirky so i reformatted fat32 in vista and all is good.
maybe there is so much songs in your card.
or your card speed is slowly.
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.
Hello:
I have owned a XPeria Play R800i for about 2 years by now. After the first week using it, I installed the Gin2JellyBean ROM, and updated it to version 1.8.1 - And have sticked with it since. Everything worked fine, until yesterday.
While I was charging my phone (it always gets a bit hot when doing so), I had to disconnect it and use the flashlight for about 30 minutes. I could felt the temperature rising, but after such a long time using it, I thought it wasn't anything to care about. Suddenly, the phone rebooted by itself, and as it was very hot, I decided to leave it near an electric fan so that it would cool down.
An hour later, I checked the phone and everything looked alright - I could browse the web, and use some apps. But when I tried to use the gallery, an error appeared: SD Card can't be found. Then, I noticed that all the apps that I had moved to the SD appeared as grey icons, and when I tried to open them, another error message.
I thought that something bad had happened to the card, so I removed it and put it on my PC. And it worked! I backed up all the files, reformatted it and tried again, to no avail. In Settings/Storage, the options Mount SD Card and Format SD Card appear greyed out.
Tried mounting it using the console, and no luck.
Can you help me? Do you think it might be a hardware error? Is it fixable?
Hi all,
I have a rooted SIII, that's all. Was watching a movie and it froze, I pulled the battery to reboot, after boot I went back to Video app, right before i clicked the movie title to continue, it disappeared. Noticed that only videos saved on my phone were showing, went to Gallery all pics on SD card no longer showing. Went into Settings, storage, it was telling me to Mount SD card. popped it out and back in a few times, never re-mounted. I've rebooted a few times now.
Any advice?
I'm having a problem with my ext sd card. It starts fine but after a while (usually a couple hours) it reads 0mb in storage setting. The only way to fix it (which doesn't work too well with poweramp) is unmount it and mount it again then it reads 59.67gb like it should or restart the phone. I remember having an sd card problem with my gs2 where it would randomly say the sd card has been removed but this is different. The problem came after almost a month of no problems using Dandroid 4.7 at&t with stock kernel. I love every feature about this rom (other than poor battery life, just disabled wifi location access to see if that helps) and the look of it and i don't want to reflash something else. Any suggestions?
I had similar issues with an sdcard I was using. I was able to determine the card was behaving erratically with the heat from the phone. It eventually got worse and I replaced the card with a different brand card and all is well.
