Well, basically as the title says. This's happened several times to me already. Say I'll turn my phone on (from standby) I'll get a popup error saying that the backup was unable to complete because no SD card was found. Next, the music application won't load the songs because those're all stored on the card. Same for Photos/Gallery. When I go to ES File Explorer, the 'sdcard' folder reports that it is empty.
There hasn't been a pattern that I discovered. This just happened now when I woke up (phone left charging overnight; Wi-Fi & Sync enabled) and I decided to come post here. Happened again yesterday afternoon when I got my phone out to play some music on the way home.
Every once in a while, I'd get lucky and the files would show up by themselves, but the only fool-proof way I've found to get the phone working properly again is a restart, which takes several minutes to do.
I am NOT running any task manager (well, I was but when this problem started up I checked another thread which recommended to remove the task manager, so I did).
Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Do you know of a fix, or is it just me?
Mine's done this a couple of times, but I've put it down to the SD card not being quite pushed home properly. Worth taking it out and cleaning the contacts.
Nope, that doesn't work. I re-inserted it yesterday (contacts were clean) and this morning woke up with the same problem.
Please tell me this isn't just happening to me, cause it'll be a right pain in the ass to have this repaired (sending abroad/etc).
Is the SD Card the one you got with the phone (4Gb) or another make/model size? Please include details so others can help more.
I have left the given Samsung Class 2 4Gb SD card in mine and I have never had any issues with the SD Card unmounting. This is not saying it won't happen, but for me it has been fine. I was going to upgrade to my other Sandisk 16Gb Class 2 that used to be in my Touch Pro, but will do that hopefully this evening.
So all I can guess is either a faulty card or some issue with Class/Size/Manufacturer of Card (if you changed from the Samsung one) ?
It's the stock 4GB card that came pre-installed in the phone. Phone's unlocked too, bought from Clove. If it helps/is relevant: when I loaded up the camera it gave an error saying something like 'no sufficient read permissions for SD card'*, maybe that'd be a clue to the problem.
*I can't quote exactly cause I've since restarted the phone and can't remember it word for word. If/when this happens again I'll post the exact error.
EDIT: There, it just happened again. Restarted the phone not even an hour ago, it's getting ridiculous. Anyway, the error from the camera reads "Unable to save file to SD card due to insufficient file permissions".
FWIW, when I go to SD & Phone Storage settings i CAN see the total and available space on the card. It's just completely inaccessible by the programs. Have also tried the 'SDMount' widget, did absolutely nothing.
Happens to me too but only when I've been letting go of my phone to put it down rather than placing it down, or if I have to drop it on my bed or chair quick.
Happened to me a lot too when I was using one of the lock screen info apps, to get my calendar info on the lock screen. Uninstalled and the SD card problem went away.

Never used that :/
I've uninstalled all apps that seemingly access the SD card and will start reinstalling one by one to see if the problem does come back. Only way I could think of.
It is happening to me also. The last 3 days is doing it at least twice a day , i have the desire almost one month and neved had this problem earlier.
And i though it was something i did.
i had the same camera permissions problem. restarted and havnt seen it again since. 4gb card that came with the unbranded device. no idea what caused it, could be any number off new apps etc :S
I've got the same problem.
I've already tried to reformat my SDcard, but the problem still exists. Another problem when the SD card unmounts, is the CPU usage. This rises to ~10% constantly. Probably cause of this are apps which are trying to write to my SDcard.
Still no solution found, maybe I'll try another SD card in a couple of days.
FWIW, I gave up on the stock card and copied all my stuff over to another 4GB card I had running around (straight copy) and it seems to be working fine now. Haven't had a problem yet, although it hasn't even been 24 hours.
Will report back if/when something comes up, and when I start re-installing the apps that I previously removed.
I wrote to HTC earlier yesterday describing the same problem, and I just received this reply:
Dear Mr.Matthew Thank you for contacting HTC. Maybe you mount it on the pc to copy nd paste something and you forgot to unmount it from the pc.. Are you using the inbox SD card? Did you install any third party applications to the phone? Please use the phone in Safe Mode. Safe mode terminates all installed running applications, in case if they caused this issue. Please backup what you have on the SD Card and Format it. If you have any other inquiries, don’t hesitate to contact us again. Please note that you can contact us via support line. For further details, please go to http://www.htc.com/europe/CA_Hotline.aspx , Thank you so much for using HTC products. Respect & Regards, HTC Team http://www.htc.com

Only thing I have not yet tried is the Safe Mode. Will see if it needs to get to that.
i had this issue when I installed 'ebuddy'... uninstalled it and the problem is no more
It's started to occur on mine at least twice daily now, it wasn't so before about 4 days back. I've just actually restarted the device on getting such an error and apps complaining that they can't read/write to the SD card. Really after some sort of fix here.

You're right it seems that was my problem too.
I got rid off ebuddy and all is fine now
I've had this problem once so far, and reading the reply from HTC reminds me that I have unplugged my phone from my mac without unmounting it a few times...
I am also having this issue and have ebuddy installed! I shall uninstall it and see if it fixes it! I really hope it does because its starting to get annoying
I too have ebuddy installed and shall also try removing it and see if that fixes it!
I don't have ebuddy installed but just experienced the SD card error with the camera today.

Probably the same way this thread was solved:

It will come back if you change your location or the next day.

Did you figure out a fix? I'm having the same problem except I don't remember swiping it away either on purpose or om accident. I opened the Google Now all and my weather card was gone. I've tried turning off Google Now and turning it back on and it hasn't come back. In my settings it has the weather card settings and its set to display always but even I'm the sample cards page there is no sample weather card.. help??

I am also having the same problem, and toggling Google Now and all of the associated location permissions didn't bring the card back.
my google now weather notifications will only work when I'm in my hometown.

Same here.. Tried everything including full wipe and fresh flash. Google issue perhaps?
Guys I had the same problem. Go into Google now, press the settings button and turn Google now off. Then click back and turn it back on. This solved it for me.

I turned it off earlier today and just now turned it back on. Works fine. There are some noteworthy settings to display different locations.
butter and jelly please...
Also keep in mind that if you're traveling then that card takes priority over weather so weather will not show.

I can't get my Google Now to display the correct weather. It shows Washington DC or London England weather.. neither of which are close to me.. even though I have all google service locations turned on.
The same has happened to my weather card; swiped it away 3 days ago and it won't come back, it's not even in the sample cards section.
Resetting google now does nothing, all my other settings are fine, I can't get it back it's driving me nuts!
Did anyone manage to get it back?
Even hard reset didn't help!! Still not weather card. Don't now what else to try.

It's really weird... I live on the outskirts of London, whenever I travel to work or into London, the weather card comes back (it shows me the weather card for the whole of London) and the sample weather card shows in the sample cards section as well.
As soon as I get off the tube back to my hometown, the weather card disappears from the main page and the sample card page! It's almost like it can do a weather card for London, but not for anywhere outside of London, even if it's only just outside.
Weirder still is that I'm pretty sure I remember it having a weather card for my hometown on my first day of using it! Might be wrong though, maybe have been for London.

I have the same problem ... its driving me nuts. Maybe the reason you get London weather is due tot he fact you swiped away your hometowns weather btu still ahve the weather card enabled thus new locations weather is presented?
Eitherway is really annoying!

Same problem here. Anyone have a solution to this yet. Turning things on and off don't help (Google Now, Weather, Location, etc).
I also don't see the Weather Sample Card, though the Settings option is there. When I search for weather, I don't see a card as well, not even in Chrome. Frustrating indeed.

I'm thinking the weather portion of Google Now is down. It stopped working for me last night too, and the weather card doesn't pop up even if you ask what the weather is, it just does a google search.

Still working for me in the UK. Asked if it would rain tomorrow and got the card and spoken response with my current location .
I just reset my Tilt 2 to default because the file manager and the program uninstaller were freaking out and not working right anymore. Now the weather widget in HTC Sense no longer works right. I keep getting a dialog box that reads as followes:
Connection Error
There was a connection error while
attempting to download weather
data. Retry?
[Yes] [No]
Does anyone have a solution to this? It never did this before. I suppose I could just reinstall the ROM and see if that fixes it, or try resetting the device again, but I wanted to get some ideas here first if possible.
I know your post is fairly old, but I believe they disconnected the server that provided these weather updates some time ago.
Same issue with SPB Weather...
I am running an Energy ROM, and can still get weather updates. But without a sim card, I can only get one city via wifi??
[edit] Weather Underground app still works!
Hi all,
Euro LG H815 running V10b.
I have two good SD cards here - one is FAT32 and has a ton of media on it and one is FAT with just a text file on it to test with. Both show on a PC and both mount fine on a Galaxy S3 and operate well, however neither are showing on my G4. I literally have the SD details greyed out within the storage settings on the phone's menu. No amount of inserting/removing/reinserting and rebooting appears to have any effect.
I'm away on holiday at the moment so not much I can do, but before I try a hard reset and consider sending it back to LG when I return home, is there anything glaringly obvious I'm missing or anything I can try?
I have no apps disabled, not rooted and running all stock.
Thanks.
Has the phone ever recognized an SD card, or is this something that has changed? The cards are facing in the correct direction, are fully inserted, etc?
Hi mate - thanks for the reply.
Yeah, when I first got the phone a few weeks ago I gave the SD card a whirl and was pleased to see it presented well in the settings and all the media played with no issues. I tried it just that once and until today, haven't tried since.
I'm placing it in pins down with the branding/lettering facing up. I have just had the port under a light and magnifying ring and as expected, all pins are fine.
Completed a hard reset, still no SD card.
I have not seen that, sorry. I don't have any suggestions except to contact LG. Hopefully someone else will have some insight. Good luck.
Thanks. I think it's going to be a return.
For the last 2 months, I'm having constant network problems in my a2 lite.
The network goes NO SERVICE at some times....then comes back to normal again for some minutes...then goes to no service again.
I thought this was because of the new stock updates so I installed AEX custom rom
The issue is still there.
I haven't found any fixes yet
Please help if anyone has had this issue
I can't afford a new phone right now
check your sim card first, I had issue like this once, hasn't placed it back properly
