Hello all,
Since I got my phone I put in a brand new Evo+ 64GB SD card in it.
Once or more a day the SD card unmounts it self.
I can still see it in my settings and in my filemanagers but I can no longer access it.
Also all my data stored on there is no longer accessible thru apps.
Since I use XInternalSD alot of data of my apps is stored there.
Remounting it in TWRP also has no effect.
The only thing that fixes it is to open the tray and close it again.
This is my first android phone so I have little to no knowledge about what I can do.
Google also didn't give me clear options on what to try.
Maybe a good thing to mention as well is that I'm running CM 12.1 ROM since the day I got this phone,
so i dont really have experience with the stock rom.
I have read about large SD cards not mounting properly and that they have to be reformatted.
If this is the case could someone explain me a little better regarding the why and how?
Thanks alot for your time!
I have the same problem with the same card actually. Maybe the card doesn't work with the phone? No
I had similar issues using XInternalSD on CM12.1.
Normally a reboot will bring the SD card back.
I wasn't able to tick the setting to use for all apps without issues although it works fine on OOS...

a reboot doesn't fix the issue for me.
Since I wrote this article I only had it once again.
And that was when I installed ES file explorer and tried to run it.
It crashed on startup and then made my SD unavailable.
Since I dont have this device for long yet and was installing all kinds of stuff when this was occuring all the time.
I assume it has something to do with some apps messing things up.

My phone's taking up this habit of rebooting (or so) randomly and automatically. It doesn't show any error or message and just reboots about twice a day... How did i know... My music widget did not display the last song paused and the up-time duration in the battery status was only a couple of hours (when infact I haven't shut it down)
Does anyone face this problem? Two things that could have made things go bad:
1. Using Verbatim Class 4 8gb MicroSDHC (heard problems with 8gb cards)
2. I rooted my phone partially (z4root did not work, superoneclick worked till halfway but I was able to access the root. Is there anything called incomplete rooting ). And after deleting the useless pre-installed apps... unrooted (again partially ) so that I can visit the Service Centre if things go worse.
Will the phone face problems if it reboots every once in a while. I don't mind it as long as it does not give me errors
Thanks,
Have you tried another sd?
AFAIK and with what i been seing arround here, that can be a card fault.
Incompatibilitys or something like that. It whouldn't be the first device like that.
Second change will be a hardware failure, wich is worst...
In my viewing, everything that is not normal, it's not good for your device.
So you should try to find a solution for it.
Cheers
my bad... Provided wrong info in the last post.
My system uptime is 48hrs which means my phone hasn't rebooted. But my status since last unplugged is 3 hrs but I last charged my phone more than 12hrs ago and I haven't plugged it to a computer as well. This number haas changed twice today...
I am thoroughly confused... Don't think there is a problem with my sd card as the phone runs perfect... All the games and music stored in the card play without problems... Guess I'll have to investigate further.
If anyone has any suggestion do let me know
I had this problem, too. And yes, It's SD-card related.
The uptime counter doesn't reset every time, but the last unplugged time does, as you noticed.
I flashed with the OC kernel, and surprisily, my phone is now fully stable. I don't know if the kernel did really the trick, but you could maybe give a try...

Can you please elaborate. Flashed the OC kernel... with what?
Did you reinstall the original firmware? Thanks!
I used the custom recovery and I selected the "Flash from zip file" option, it was very simple once you get the custom recovery working !
It doesn't erase your data, and it doesn't replace the original firmware, it's only a patch.
Do I need to install the custom recovery or is it pre-installed?
I don't think it is pre-installed. The key combination is not working. The phone starts up as usual.
And do we need to be rooted to carry this out. I'll try a soft reset meanwhile....
EDIT:
I got it. Need to use this "recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img" file to enable the custom recovery. If I put this file in the root of the sd card, will the key combination work? And what about the flash file? I'm sure it'll ask for the flash file when i select the option flash from sdcard.
I've experienced similar behavior, mostly using 3D apps. Google's Nav will usually result in a freeze/reboot. Quadrant has done it many times. When I was looking in logcat and bugreport it was showing messages like:
W/SharedBufferStack(223): waitForCondition(LockCondition) timed out (identity=223, status=0). CPU may be pegged. trying again.
I can't be positive if the SD card is the culprit (I haven't had a chance to replace the stock card yet), or if it's a software or hardware problem. I've only rooted and modified build.prop to enable jit and stagefright...and that's it.
edit:
Phone just crash when I opened the new updated google maps. Attached the logcat if anyone can glean some useful info from it.
Mine is definitely SD card related.... Flashed the original firmware but did not help. The SD card kept unmounting and remounting (no rebooting though).
Finally went back to the bundled sd card and no problem so far... But my other 8gb card is working perfectly in other phones and the pc as well (very good transfer speed and all) Even when I had it in my phone it was snappy.
But I read that a new firmware has been released. hopefully that will sort the issue... Fingers crossed.

There is a new version of the firmware, V10E.
You need to try that one.
I have the same phone and have no problems running a PNY 8 gig. card. I would try to re-rom your device but, be sure to back everything up first. If problem still persists try a differant sd card. ( class 3 or higher) I am currently running Cyanogen 2.3.3 with kernal update 2.6.32.9. OC to 806mhz. Semms to be running just fine. I hope that helps out.

Hi, I also facing the sd card problem. Can I update to v10e because my phone is v10a and rooted?
Before you guys upgrade, try this ....
Copy out all the data from your SD card, format your SD from the device, then copy the data back.
In addition, if you have shifted any Application data using the Move to SD card feature, suggest you move it back.
I used to have the reboot once a day, now I don't have it anymore ...
Formatting didn't work for me. Factory reset worked for a couple of weeks, but still got SD card unmounts with no apps moved to SD. The only thing that worked was physically removing the SD.
friend i got Phone on this saturday till then I was having problem of random reboot .like every time i play with my phone . i am using class 2 trascend 8gb made in taiwan micro sd card (but the problem of unmounting never occured to me).Main problem was of the random reboot .Then i flashed my phone with Unofficial port of CyanogenMod 7link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946354 it worked so greatly and now i am running phone for more then 3 hours without any problem(hope this time will increase).
PS :This mod doesn't have market application of android any one who can provide market.apk or vending.apk beacuse its convinient to download from there
I have a weird and it seems like a common problem too, i have found some threads about it but either they are a little different from mine or they dont have a real solution for it.
So yesterday i decided to download a bunch of games, i never used enough applications to need to move them to my sd, but since i downloaded a lot of them some started to get installed to the sd and i manually moved some of them too to the sd card. But while i was still downloading more apps, some of them started to show the android icon, and when i tried to run them they crashed. The weird part is that it was just some of them.
After that i tried rebooting my phone hoping that would help the phone to reload and see the apps, but that just made it worst since those, and some others went totally missing from the drawer. Is not because the launcher loads before the sd card is read because i already checked that.
So i went to settings>applications and discovered that all those applications are listed there but listed with their other name (dont know how to call it, but is like "com.developer.app" ). All of the missing apps are like that and i cant run them.
- I have formatted the sd using gparted, same behavior
- I have formatted the sd and the internal (sd?) with the phone
- I have done a factory reset with no luck
- I have runned fsck in both internal and external sd's
- The files of the applications are in the .android_secure folder in the external sd card "app.asec"
- The sd card is working (files music, everything else is working)
- I dont know what else to do, I want to be able to use my sd card to install apps
Thanks for your help
Simple Answer
Just Install Nd Run The Apk First Nd Play now simply move To SD
It Will Work.
Same Problem In Galaxy Y .
SolveD
Press Thank If I Helped
I dont fully understand you, but i think you are telling me to install, then run the app and then move it to the sd card, i did that to almost all of them (i was trying the games ) but that didnt make any difference. Thank you anyway!
looks like it was a faulty micro sd card switched to another one and problem solved
i've tried fixes via this site (including one from xposed. it's not a problem for most things but titanium backup just won't do it. the folder over a few weeks seems to go read only (checked via root explorer - can't give r/w rights) and just fails saying insufficient storage space.
i have to pull the card (can't mount as proper USB anymore - shame), create a new folder and move the content over. this works for a while but then i get the same again. something makes the folder read only.
other apps are able to write/delete etc to my mSD so the fix must work so what the hell is TB doing?
i'm on 4.4.2 (this rom from a while back)
any advice (bar flashing to 444? - might do that next w/e anyway)

Are you trying to get apps to store on your Micro SD card and not internal?
On the play store, if your phone is rooted there's a fix so you can write to the card. If you wanna save space I suggest downloading folder mount.

I would advise you to backup the contents of your external card. Then format the card by inserting it into the phone. & of course USING the phone to format it.
I had the same problem. I did this & touchwood, no problems so far. Hopefully it should work for you.

Lol what are you talking about? I don't have issues with my card I think you meant to quote the other guy....
Anyways I think he's talking about the write issue in kitkat. Download SD card fix, you only need to run it once.
Oops! Big faux paus indeed! That is correct mate.
I will do a check on the SD Card fix. Seems interesting...
formatted the SD card and copied all back on - same thing happens. it's only an issue in TB for some reason. works for a while then stop.
tried the sd card fix too (must work i presume otherwise other apps would have probs too).
i'm not trying to install apps to the mSD (although would love if google brought that back).
Im using liquidsmooth rom and gdkernel. Still cant write into the sdcard. I tried all the app fixes and xposed..
Pls help.. .
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix
Download that, you must have a rooted phone. I've had no issues with this app, only run it once. Upon success, remove it, done.
Yeah. Ive already tried that app and other. And also the xposed apps. Still didnt work. cant delete files and sd card.
I have a problem with my Moto E.
I use a SD (obviously), and for a while it seems not read well. I can not access the files, and when I check the configuration seems to be mounted but appears 0GB capacity. I tried other SD and same thing happens. I do not know if it's a software problem, or it may be a particular problem and I need to change my phone after one year of use.
CM12.1 have installed.
Thanks to anyone who can help me. It is very important because I use XInternal and have almost everything in my memory card.
I broke my phone and replaced like for like with a new Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3. I'm stumped as to why I can't grant access to apps to the SD card.
The phone is running lollipop, not rooted. The SD card is 128 GB, formatted exFAT, with a volume label (JE-SDCard).
I've already gone through a) complete factory reset and b) remove the card, reformat and try again. Neither worked.
I can access the card fine (add, delete, move) through the stock Filer app. Some apps (DroidTV) can access the card fine. But when I try to use SDMaid or Solid Explorer, the apps try to go through the grant access process, but when the OPEN FROM dialog comes up, it only shows two entries: RECENT and INTERNAL STORAGE, with no option to select the SD card. I have checked and unchecked the HIDE SD CARD/SHOW SD CARD options in the menu, with no affect.
I don't particularly want to root, as my banking app won't work on a rooted phone, but may have no other option. I've searched lots of online sources of Android help, and the only things I've seen to resolve this are to ensure the card is labelled (it is) and to check that SHOW SD CARD is enabled (it is). Anyone have any ideas?

I've searched extensively on Google, and have done everything suggested: reformat card, ensure card has a label, factory reset, ensure SHOW SD is selected, etc. None of these have worked for me. Just checking to see if anyone else had had the same issue that can't be resolved by the usual fixes.
Thanks.

have u tried other sd cards on your phone?
if those works.
There's must b a problem with this phone and cards compatibility.
Hi
I've got this too - I'm sure it was working last week - I decided it was time for a reset of my phone and to update to latest firmware (I'm rooted so updates don't drop in automatically) now I can never see anything in the GRant Access box, apart from "recent" regardless of "SHow SD Card"
OP: if the phone is new, take it to the shop and show its not working. Get a working replacement, dont bother fixing whats clearly broken when it shouldnt be.
Eserim: mine does that if its been plugged into the pc, then unplug it. sometimes it doesnt show. I have to reboot and then it works fine, I dont know why it does this sometimes.

Nope - tried that - even re-formatted and copied everything back.

Can the phone even support a card that big. If I recall right that device has a max sdcard size of 64gb.

Good point, my other phone only half accesses my 256 gb card, sometimes not at all.
