Hi all,
Every now and again while my SM-T705 is sleeping the SD card seems to unmount while sleeping and remounts when I wake the device (message appears saying an SD card has been inserted, one time an app that was reading an epub off the SD card when it went to sleep threw up an error on waking). On two occasions there was also a notification saying that the SD card was unexpectedly unmounted and it ran an error check.
I understand that this has been a problem with Sandisk SD cards in the past but I'm using a Kingston 32GB card. Is this supposed to be happening? There doesn't seem to be any problem with the card when putting it in my PC through an adapter. It hasn't yet remounted while actually using the device, only when sleeping.
I'm using a samsung evo 64gb card and have no problems. However i have had that problem with cards that have turned out to be damaged.
Id say get a new card..

I have a 16gb class 4 micro sd card in my phone and it has been fine. I should have about 1-2gb free on the card and I did until earlier today when it now says I have 10gb free, I had not deleted nothing off the card and my phone was working as it should.
I checked and it seems to be that my music folder has went from 8-9gb in size to 182mb - all the files are still there and seem to work ok as well.
I don't trust it at all and am gonna format the card and start again but just wondered if anyone has ever seen this before
my memory card stop working when i use spotify, spotify just close and i cant go in again(because memory card stop working) and when i try to save in it it says "set in a memory card". but when i turn it off and on again it works. and because the memory card stop working all the time i can only store 1Gb on my 32Gb card
i also have sort of the same issue. sometimes memory card stops working..i don't know why, but when i take photos it doesn't save them at all, i have to go to settings>storage unmount then mount again for it to start working. i have an A-DATA 16gb class10 micro sd.
Froyo introduced a bug that persists in Gingerbread. Class 4 cards work, class 6 cards are a hit'n'miss affair, most class 10 cards have problems.

Hi guys,
I've seen this issue addressed on forums for other devices but didn't see a thread for it here.
Anyone else experienced this before? Constalty getting an error message for "SD Card Unexpectedly Removed". It's a class 4 32GB SD Card, it's installed securely in my GS3 in an Otterbox case, running on my rooted stock JB device.
I can usually access the SD card data after a few minutes but then often when I wake my device still get the same message.
Do I need to format the card??
I had an S3 that initially reported this error. It eventually started ruining sdcards.
AT&T eventually ended up giving me a new one.

Anyone have any further input on this? Earlier tonight, mine gave me the same warning. (Also installed securely inside an Otterbox case, running stock/ non rooted). I just popped the card into my laptop and my computer doesn't see it. It really looks like the card's ruined and everything on it is gone. To say that's not cool is an understatement...
Mine started saying it's ejected last night, also in a case, randomly saying it's back. Still works fine in a pc. Assuming it's the slot and not the rom...poop. guess I need to Odin back to stock and try to get a replacement.

Had the same issue with my S3.
Turned out that the SD card was dying, this caused it to be unmounted by itself and then mounted again (sometimes showing notification “sd card removed unexpectedly”), hence triggering the media scanning process.
I created an application to monitor how many times the SD card was removed, and turned out to be unmounted every ~3 mins!!!
I then bought a new Transcend 32GB Class 10 card, and until now, this never happens, no reports from the application whatsoever, and no media process eating my battery.
I just published this app in the play store now, this is the link:

It might be a bad sd card, i used to get that error on another phone when using a certain sd card but when i tried another one it worked fine. Maybe try another card see if you get the error.
Apparently sgs3 have problems with SD cards anyway

I had this happen to my friends phone the other day. Best thing to do if you can't access the information may be to run chkdsk /r which will check for bad sectors and recover any readable information. Move tour info off the card and try to reformat to fat32

I have a 32gb Sandisk sd Card class 10 installed on my Phone. I use it for keep my musics & videos.
Recently, I try to move my apps to the sd Card, but suddenly the Day After I move the apps, the sd Card is force removed by itself.
Therefore, my apps, musics & video, & other files cannot be opened. But After restart the Phone, the files Can be opened again.
How it could be?

Mine does this a lot too... Same SD card. This SD card works fine in any PC. When transferring over USB, does yours go VERY slow, like 700kbit as opposed to 10mbit?
I have the same sd card, same problem.

Perhaps we have a pattern here...
I have switched to an 8gb samsung class 6 card and over the last 3 days have only had one out of the ordinary "scanning sd card" after waking phone. I don't know if this is related to a solution or not. But all 3 of my previous cards that I was rotating in and out of my phone were class 2 Sandisk. Each of these had intermittent "sd card has been removed" and "sd card is damaged" errors. Whether or not the problems are directly related to lower class Sandisk cards, I have no idea. Maybe someone else can comment on either the brand or the class of the card giving them trouble to compare and/or contrast.
Now I upgrade my android to GA10 JB, and the sd card is readable again. The problem also didn't occur again..
Maybe it's an system error..

Yeah CM10.1 has been good for this issue lately, though file copy is slow as hell over USB still.
Any fix for this issue?
Hi I had this phone for while and bought the sandisk Ultra 32GB class 10 sd card when I got this awesome phone. However lately my phone was acting strange. For past 4 days my phone will randomly unmount SD card and notify me that it got disconnected. When I turn on the screen then it will shortly mount the SD card and does not show these problem. Not only that these is happening consistently and keeping my phone awake and draining my battery as well. I don't have picture with me since I format my whole phone and SD card but this will happen at least 20 to 30 times in a hour.
I used to use Saurom Project Hybird 1.3.2 before and I format everything, from TWRP, and installed CleanRom ACE 4.5 but it is still happening with same problem.
Is there any way to fix these problem?
Same here

I have the same problem with a 32gb San disk, after searching all day the only conclusion I came up with is that sd card is going bad and needs to be replaced preferably for one that is not a SanDisk. I guess they are not compatible
Thanks. I was hoping that I didn't had to do that. Anyway do you have any other brand that is good?
I guess your best bet would be going with a Samsung sd card just to avoid having problems in the future.
I'm having the same problem it is not your SD card or at least I don't think so I read a different XD a thread for hey note 2 on a different carrier it was over 17 pages long of people having the exact same issue some say that the SanDisk 32 they are so then and that put in a piece of paper behind them will solve the problem but I'm not finding that word besides I find it funny it only does this when my phone is in sleep or when I'm in a phone call it is very annoying I currently am being told I have a blank SD card and sometimes later it may just work for no reason

If you're getting heavy Media Server battery usage with the unmounts, it's could be a bad media file on your SD card crashing the Media Server and causing the unmounts.
I deleted podcasts, videos, and mp3s off of my SD card and the error went away. A clean format of the card should also work.
I dont think that was my case. I format the sd card and keep it empty and mount the sd card and it was still having the problem. However when I change my sd card to my old one the error when away. I guess I got bad sd card.
