What OS are you running on your laptop?
What does this have to do with tethering? If can't read the card in your phone and PC then it is the card. if it works fine on one and not the other then you have your answer.

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.

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

I installed CM7 and everything works fine so far except that the phone doesn't pick up the sim card at all. Is there a fix?
Edit: Nevermind it's fixed

Sorry, to disturb.
Do you mean, the sim card isn't working completely, or do you mean,
you can phone, but you have no access to the contactlist of your simcard?
I'm just a newbie

I need to use Recuva on my T-Mobile S 3. I can't because it won't read it unless it has a drive letter.
Please someone create an app that will do this!
For the internal storage of course!
As far as I am aware people have been and are continuing to work on this. No ones figured out a way yet though. Only how to mount external storage has been done.
Sorry.

When I first got mine, everyone is saying USB mass storage is done for. As in it's a Samsung thing not a developers thing.
Trust me, I miss it.

What do you mean by "it shows" You have a t-mobile SGS3 and it gives you the option for mass storage for the INTERNAL storage?
This means windows sees the device with a DRIVE LETTER assigned?
I got mine to work 1 time when I first got the phone and was able to copy all my music over, but haven't been able to duplicate success since

Can someone tell me what u mean by internal storage is it the 16 gbs that come with the phone? I connected my phone to pc and it shows the device and lets me copy my music over. Inm running windows 8 btw. However when I connect my phone with usb in my car it keeps saying unsupported anyone know how I can make my car read my music or is that related to the internal memory problem u guys are talking about

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.

Weird (hopefully in a good way) - did you make any changes to the phone between then and now?
