I've looked around a bit, and correct me if I'm wrong, but it doesn't seem like anyone else has my problem.
Long story short, I've got a 8GB Class 4 Sandisk SD card, and it worked well for the first few weeks. However, as of recently, anytime I connect to my PC in any way and try to transfer files over using USB or Bluetooth, it fails due to the unexpected removal of my SD Card. This is without me physically removing it of course.
I've tried formatting using default settings, and I don't know what else to try... can anyone shed some light here?
Have you tried another SD?
If you have and problem is still there, I would try a factory reset.
If after all this effort your problem is still not resolved, then i would say a call to HTC is your best solution as it could be hardware related.
Oh couple more things:
Try a different USB cable.
Try a different port or pc.
Okay, I tried it with the stock microSD 2gb, and I didn't get this problem ... basically it just means I've got a bad 8gb?

Be aware there has been countless reports of fake sandisk SD cards being sold everywhere including eBay and Amazon's market place.
So before purchasing a new card Google how to spot a fake sandisk and it should give you an idea of what to look for or not.
I had also faced this situation ...i changed with class 2...nw it working like charm...

I purchased mine from London Drugs, not sure if you know it, but it is a trustworthy place so I doubt my card is fake.
One more thing for clarification, do you think that setting the phone so that it auto installs to SD could have some effect? I set mine up like that due to the lack of internal storage. Thanks for the responses!
i didnt have this issues before hope u can fix it

Auto install to SD should have no effect mate.
Also the fake card situation - well they have been sold by legitimate sellers believing them to be genuine, not trying to deceive customers.
Apparently the market has been flooded with them.
I read about it a couple of months back.
Not saying yours is fake, was just saying your average user wouldn't notice at all.
Not sure if this is common or not but I have tried everything I can think of, and I don't see anything.
I have a Samsung Galaxy s3 (brand new, stock build) but everytime I put in an sdcard The settings>storage still says I need to insert it.
I have resigned myself to it being a hardware issue, but I would really like a more pragmatic response
WTF man after 4 years I break with my n1 for this?!?!?!

if your ever doubt I ran into the same problem but the blowing it like a Nintendo cartridge didn't work so if you have a micro sd card reader on your computer use and format the Micro SD to exfat from fat32 this seems to fix the problems 9 times out of 10

This. I had the same issue and it took me a little bit to figure this out.

I came here looking for answer to this issue and laughed before blowing in the slot fixed problem. Now why didn't I think of that?
Got a pre used Galaxy Appolo 15800 and it will not read from sd card. It knows the card is there but will not mount/unmount or format.
Went to shop and tried other cards but still the same.
I am told the phone was on contract to 3 network and althought it has been unlocked the shop man wondered if there was a feature set into the phone by 3 so that reader doesnt work when the phone is unlocked form their network.
along the lines of blowing into the slot, I cut a strip from an old credit card and wiggled it about inside..
Bingo........ all systems go!!!!!!

I simply cannot believe this!!... I searched and read countless XDA, AndroidCe*tral forums and tech (C-NET) blog entries just to find countless posts of failing/corrupted SanDisk 32GB Ultra cards (as mine) inside S3's guts. No other card was working either and was resigning to reflash stock ROM and take it so tech support.
An additional search try and came to this post... And still cannot believe a simple (but powerful) blow inside the SD card slot actually solved the problem!! Thanks man! You saved my day (and my S3, my SD card and a week using a crap replacement phone)! :good:
same problem

Hi all, I had the same issue and unbelievable, the nintendo method works quite well !!!
In fact if we put the sd card at the top of the slot and keeping it pushed, we can see the phone detect the sd card! so a little poke and then it's fine ^^
Holy Crap it worked!!!

This worked for me as well! I had blown on it a little last night and after reformatting and flashing various roms thinking perhaps that may of been the issue....it was indeed microscopic dust in the slot. Holy MOLY!!! This time, I blew in it like a mad man and sure enough, my phone is reading my 64gb card once again! Thanks everyone!!

After an hour of searching every forum for ways to fix the same problem, I arrived here, with little hope of anything more than I had already found. I thought that it was funny, what you said. Then I said: "Meh, **** it. Let's give it a try."
It works. You are God.
*P.S. I use this website frequently to find fixes and updates, but I never really registered. Just so you understand how grateful I am for this. I know, I could have registered for an array of different reasons, but I want you to know that the reason I did it now is to thank you. For the fix and the laugh!
blowing doesn't work for me. formatting to exfat does.
thank god.
my workaround
Hi
it was twice succeeded for me
My s3 mini did not recognize SD card, but recovery was
Workaround:
remove sd card from phone
connect it to PC
do some copy from/to
attach it back to phone
Working!
I've tried everything said on this forum, nothing has worked. any other suggestions?

Blew in it. Couldn't help but think of this https://xkcd.com/218/
Is anyone else having SD Card and App issues? I find that apps randomly disappear, and my SD card unmounts on its own, A LOT. About 3 or 4 times a day, with pretty light usage. My widgets disappear (on the apps that are now gone), and settings crashes if I try to go into it to view the installed apps. I've tried a reformat of the SD card, I've tried wiping/restoring the device (3 times now). The only way it seems to "restore" the missing apps/SD card is I turn the device on/off several times. It doesn't seem to have a cause, it'll just stop. It's quite frustrating, and is actually keeping me from using the tablet.
Anyone experiencing anything like this? Do I have a bum unit?

Forgot to mention, I have a SanDisk "Ultra 64 GB microSDXC Class 10", not a no-name card. The SD card seems fine on my PC via adapter. Think I should take it to BB and swap the Tablet? I really don't want to try another SD card and end up with the same issue, and out more money.

I haven't had a problem. Did you buy the card from a well known source? Sandisk is the most counterfeited card out there.
Sounds like a sdcard issue

Indeed. Amazon. Found out HERE that there is an issue with some batches of SD cards. Sent for a return/exchange. Leaving the thread here so others can find the info if they have the same issues.
For what it's worth, I have the same card and so far I'm not having any issues whatsoever.

I do too but ours might not be counterfeit
I have the same card and have been using it for a couple months with no problems before this tablet but I'm having consistent issues with it as well as the OP! My problems are different as sometimes it shows nothing on the card, sometimes it will start copying from the card to the tablet and then fail.
After having these problems I formatted the card via the tablet with no difference. I bought this thru Tiger Direct 7-10 days before 10/10. Is this a good enough reason to exchange or do I buy a 2nd card first?

I purchased it from amazon, not another company through amazon, but I guess it's possible. I sent it back for a replacement.

I used a second SD card I found lying around, works fine. It's an SD card issue. I sent it back, and just got my replacement now, we'll see how that replacement goes. I would say you should talk to TD for a replacement. It should at least help narrow down your issues.
Good I hope everything works out for you... Keep us posted...

currently im running a sandisk extreme 64gb no issues, swapped in the sandisk ultra 64gb from my s4 no issues, it wasnt till i swapped in the extreme pro 16gb that t started to act funny, mounting and dismounting...
I haven't had any mount/unmount issues.
The only thing I saw was after I inserted my SD card last night, two games (both Unity, btw), no longer thought they were installed on my tablet. Luckily, when I re-installed them from the Play Store, I didn't lose any of my save game progress ^_^
The LCD assembly I ordered came pre-assembled with a sim card reader. It didn't seem to be working. I tried using the old one as well, but got the same result even with multiple Sim cards. "No SIM Card detected". Has anyone else run across this. Does anyone have any suggestions? I can confirm it was working before. I checked all the ribbon cables and will recheck them again after work.

When both sim card readers didn't work I replaced the daughter board and that took care of the problem.

Thank you very much. I guess I'll do the same! No choice left. Still, I find this problem a bit weird. It was working just fine before replacing the screen.

Goodmorning and Merry Christmas to everyone!
Suddenly my GPS SLOT is going crazy, sometimes it reads the microsd and sometimes it doesn't.
I tried different cards and the result is always the same. I was wondering if someone knows how I can change it and which one I should buy.
I've seen many types on aliexpress but, as I said, donno which one choose.
My head unit is a EONON G2110F.
Thank you to everyone who will help me!

I might be having a similar issue. I noticed mine would not mount, and sometimes it would mount. I got it working now, but It has been acting up the past few days. I have a joying brand. I emailed joying to see what is going one, mine unit is under warranty.
