Hi there,
I'm having issues with continues in expicted removing SD notification. Is this a hardware failure?
Haven't dropped my phone and this msg started showing after the new update 1.95.401.4
Copy all the data to your PC, format the card in the phone, copy your data back. This is a very common issue and we'll documented here. The issue should go away until you flash another ROM or major update.

Have been battling with this for a long time..
Things I've done.
Completely updated firmware.
Removed encryption.
Changed roms.
For me I don't get this issue on venom, not sure why but it's possible that it's simply luck and just kernel related.
Only happened for me on Leedroids rom which is a shame as it's a superb rom.
The probability is its either your card (most likely) or the combination of rom and kernel.
I'd advise you to do what you can before you rma your card.
Connect your card directly into a computer.
Format the card using a utility called SD formatter, use the long method, more thorough..
Flash a rom which has a stock kernel and see how you go..
Beyond that you could remove encryption and or try different kernels, some have the issue more than others.
Good luck.
Continue to get this myself. Try a smaller SD.

Thanks for answering me.. I fixed it by formatting the SD and merged the internal with external memory. I'm having no issues right now.

I would do that but what happens between rom flashes?? Does the bind of internal get lost? Have you switched Rom's?

I am having an issue with my epic 4g touch. The phone is confusing the internal memory and the external sd card. So when I download something it ends up going into the internal from music to apps. In the settings/storage it says I have things on my sd card but if I go to it in root explorer, it shows nothing. My problem is that when I flash a new rom and do a nandroid backup, the backup disappears on me. I will put the backup on the sd card but when I go back to it, it's gone. It doesn't show up on the internal either. The last time I flashed a rom I got stuck with no backup. Needless to say I am a little scared to try again. It has done this with two separate sd cards. Please help? I am confused. Does anyone else have this problem?
I have had some similar issues. For me it doesn't acknowledge my external sd card alot of times lately.

Have you tried removing and formatting the MicroSD card through Windows?
(Or mount as USB in FI03 and format that way)
My 16GB SD card was randomly unmounting in my phone (Desire HD) I assumed it was a bad card as my PC would not detect it in a card reader. I got a new 16GB card today and it has started randomly unmounting in the phone, I get a warning message and the sd card vanishes.
This does not happen when i use an old 2GB card, the previous 16GB was running in the phone for at least 6 months.

You sure the battery cover is on correctly. If not check the SD Card holder.
Last resort is to go fully stock and see what happens.
If the above fails, its a hardware issue

Thanks - going back to fully stock was my next plan at the weekend. Is there any form of pre-rooted stock ROM I can use, will going back to stock HTC ruin my bootloader and S-OFF and such things ?

Have you tried formatting the SD with the phone and not the computer? Also look for the rooted stock rom for your phone is your best bet, its out there in pd98 zip form. Good luck

I tried going back to stock and it still does the same thing, I noticed the SD card slot and SIM slot are on a daughterboard so I will try replacing it and seeing if it is a hardware issue.
Thank you for all your help.

I had a mounting issue after going from the stock 8GB card to a new 32GB one, all it needed was formatting and job done.. If you can format it in the phone do it, if not, put it in a card reader on the PC, it should open find it.

Thanks for replying but as i originally posted, I have had a 16GB card since probably last xmas, after going to Jellybean it started vanishing and that card is now dead, will not format in anything, PC card reader,laptop or phone. I got a new one and the phone has started ejecting it again. I assume the phone killed the original and this is not a card fault.
I have formatted the new card in PC,phone and my tablet and the phone is still losing it, it's fine on a PC. I am going to replace the SD card socket daughter board on the phone and hope it isn't a fault any worse than that !
Fingers crossed.
Download 4ext Recovery Updater from www.4ext.net and flash 4ext Touch Recovery if you haven't already. Then back up your SD card data, boot into recovery, go to 'wipe | format' and format SD card. Then go to 'tools' and run 'check partition alignment' and 'file system check'.
I used to have this problem real bad a long time ago with both an old 8GB card and a new 16GB card. I messed around a bit with all this and fixed it. I've rarely had the problem since. It happens once in a while, and a reboot fixes it. Not frequent anymore though. Also, format SD card in recovery always. I remember that this problem became very frequent for me when I used to format my SD card in PC with different cluster sizes. Don't know for sure if that was the reason or whether it was coincidence, but I suggest you format in recovery. Unless you use TWRP recovery, which just runs an 'rm -rf' command to delete all folders in SD card and doesn't actually format it. 4ext Touch Recovery is the best recovery for the DHD.

Thanks I will definitely give that a go today before ordering any parts.
I tried all the stuff with formatting and partitions and it made no difference to the new 16GB card, strangely my old 8GB card seems to work fine, so really not sure what would cause this to happen, none the wiser but the 8GB card will do fine for now.
So I have had this baby for a few days now and am having serious problems! Random reboots are common when I try to open an app or settings tab, SD card not being scanned at startup where I manually have to unmount it, pop it out then reinsert it to get my apps, music and pics to show up. It shows up in settings as being in there just can't read it or says blank SD card. It's a SanDisk 16gb class 10 bought from WalMart. So far I am pised off, but want to ask if this is a software problem, or hardware, and if anyone has experienced the same. It is stock non-rooted. Return time or root (do I have to root to update) then update to MK1 and see if the problems still exist and if so then return. Thanks for any advice.
Many people have SD card related freezes/bootloops/battery drain issues.
Try using the tab for a day without the SD card and see if thats the problem ~
re problems
you could try a different SD card
this happened with my phone sometimes
and it was just a dodgy card / mount interface
I recommend updating to mk1 asap. There were a number of stability fixes. Was the sd card fat32 formatted?

Do I have to start fresh if I update or does it dirty flash over? I formatted the sd card in the tab, so I don't know what format it is but my pc reads it so...

I'd recommend doing a fresh update after a factory reset. Then slowly add your apps in case one of those is having an issue.
Since you formatted in the tab it's fat32. So no issue there. Another possibility is one or more files on the sd is corrupt you may want to go through them on your pc.
My DA self didn't even check to see what I was already on and I'm on MK1 already. Dang, I guess updating is not the solution after all.
Have you tried deleting the contents of the sd card and then copying just a handful of known, good files to it?
Maybe the index service is getting hung on a corrupt file causing the system to freak out.
Transferred everything from external Sd to internal and no more reboots So I don't know. Weird

I too am getting random reboots of the device. No SD card installed - took mine out a few days ago in an attempt to cure the issue. I am guessing that Samsung has stuffed up on the QC of these devices. Too many reports of reboots. Surely it must be a hardware problem causing the malfunction>?
Rooted mine using Root De La Vega and using P605ZSUBMJ6 rom - still getting the reboot, probably one a day.
Has happened when I tap on the screen opening Chrome, when scrolling screens (I use Apex Launcher) and has happened when I have been using the pen when scribbling notes.
Getting frustrated.
The device when being used us smooth, and fast, but these occasional reboots are driving me crazy. I bought mine as a grey import, and I just know sending it back will be a royal pain in the backside. So anything to try to resolve this would be awesome.
I haven't had any reboots since I moved the programs back to device storage or any weird no read the SD card issues. My music and pics show up fine now and no more problems with apps saying not installed. I am also NOT rooted, yet.

From what I've read in the forums mk1 resolved a lot of random reboots. I've got the US 32gb wifi version with mk1 and I've never had a reboot. I've had it for about 2 weeks, I use it about 5 hours a day.

Yes, unfortunately that's the case. Hopefully Samsung will release it soon for the 605.
Try moving all the content off the SD card to your PC. Then, use the device itself to format the card. After it's (re)formatted move all your content back to it.
I tried researching this but wasn't successful finding same exact problem or solution. I'm on 4.4.2 Baseband N900TUVUCNB4 rooted with stock rom and ext sd fix. Everything was working fine until recently. My external SD card has inexplicably become read-only, both on the phone and on my desktop. I first noticed this last week when the phone camera began having problems writing to external SD card, and now I can't sync music to card. I've tried formatting on the phone and desktop, both quick and full but no dice. On the phone, I am able to delete individual files or folders but they reappear. On the PC, I can view but get write protect message when trying to format. Anyone else come across this or have suggestions?

Happened with me once with a different phone/OS. Weird thing is that it was only for a particular SD card. I put a different card and it worked.
It turned out to be a problem with the card (dunno how thats possible though).
What's the brand of your SD card?
I have the exact same problem with my SGNote 2 and SanDisk 64gb micro SD card. First I lost some pics I have taken that day. I searched through with a file rescue tool but they were nowhere to be found. Deleted files reappear, and the ones I copied from internal SD dissappear.

It's a SanDisk 64gb class 10.
Glad to hear I'm not the only one. Maybe we can share the solution when we find one. I'm using internal memory in the meantime for new media files, but frustrated that I am not able to use the rest of the memory available on my card.
SanDisk works fine for me, maybe your sd card is a faulty one, let's wait for a while here and maybe someone could answer your question and hopefully solve your problem

Thanks, Lorettaa. It seems like that's the only option right now, since I can't find any other info about it on XDA. I know Kit Kat has that design "flaw" where apps can't write to an SD card, but I can't even write to it, modify it or reformat it on a PC. I have full read access to every file, just can't do anything else

I have the exact same problem, i tried many options , used some softwares in windows to format , wipe, fix, modify. nothing works.
One possible reason for this problem is file system errors , which can be rectified using the 'error checking' option in windows and 'fixing the file system errors'
But that doesnt solve my problem, even after formatting using advanced softwares, the sd card is the same - no files deleted, no files added...
The fat as well as ext4 parition is not formattable now in anyway.so the possible conclusion is 'sd card is going to fail'.. Take a backup before you loose the read capability.
Recuva is a good, free tool (from the people that make CCleaner) to deleted recover photos.

And one possible reason for a false error condition is a corrupt system. This is normally an unlikely possibility but it is very likely on devices that have had partition images written to (i.e. a flashed ROM). If you have done all you can to the SD card and if the errors are not only on one SD card then wipe everything and load a backup. If you still get errors then wipe everything and revert to stock to see if they still occur.

Ok this isn't the first time this has been happening after I flash a new rom for instance viper is my daily then say I wanna flash a gpe rom after fully flashed I go to poweramp or check my pictures and I have missing pictures and music missing I check and all of my data on the external sd has been wiped without touching it. Don't really know what's causing this any answers out there to this problem?
You sure its wiped and just not reading it?

Agree that this might be the issue. Try the SD card on another device, or on a card reader attached to a computer.
Folks have had instances of their M8 not reading SD cards that can be read on other devices. Re-formatting the card on computer (but not the device) seems to help with this.
Also to OP, are you sure you aren't selecting the option to wipe the external SD card in custom recovery? I know its probably a silly question to ask. But its more silly not to ask (and have it be something simple all along).
Twrp had a bug that when you select factory reset it also wiped the sdcard. Maybe that was your issue. Latest update by captain throwback fixed it.
