sd card keeps unmounting from the g1

I don't know why, but at least once a day my sd card unmounts from my g1. I can't see pictures, use the camera, listen to music, and whatever else requires an sdcard. It's fine when its connected to my PC, it never unmounts itself.
Ive search google, this forum, and other android forums but came up with nothing. Only found other people with the same problem but no solution.
Its really starting to bug me and I'm not sure if its my sd card or my g1, any help would be appreciated..
i have rooted rc33 with jf1.41 with release-keys (watever that means)... this was happening before and after i installed jf1.41 with root.
sometimes it comes back if i take the sdcard and put it back in, but other times im forced to reboot. ive also had a few pictures got deleted by themselves, sounds like a fault in the sd card right?
thanks in advance

I would backup whatever is on your sd card. Then format it, fat32. See if that fixes it. If not call up Tmobile and see if they send a replacement.

Ensure the cover is all the way flush, this happened to me and I had to rub the cover from the bottom up to make it sit flush. If it is not completely closed, it will think you pulled it open and unmount the drive.

its already frmatted n fat32, but ill try again..
for the cover, ur talkin about the plastic thing that goes over te sd port right? that has a sensor?

I had the same problem so I opened the cover and closed it. Voila my card showed up again. I hope its not a continuing problem, but it sure beats trying the get the card out and putting it back in.

[Q] Duplicate Pictures

I'm having a problem with duplicate pictures when I copy from my sd to the computer.. It creates a thumbnail, a medium sized picture, and then a full sized one. Anyone else having this?

I've been thinking about this one, too, and have a question I believe is very closely related.
I have pictures on my microSD card that I took from another phone or from an employee picture directory from work. I had assigned all the contact pictures on my phone using the pictures on the memory card. I've since plugged my phone into the USB on my computer or removed the card to view on another device.
I have the card in my phone now and all of my pictures that were assigned to contacts are still on the card, but have been deleted from the contacts on my phone.
I hope that I don't have to re-assign the contact pictures every time I have to plug my phone into the computer in card reader mode or any time that I have to remove the card.
I know this isn't exactly the same issue as the OP, but I think it's fair to say these issues are very closely related... Now, can anybody help with the answer to resolve them both?

Stupid SD Card.

My sd card is saying Blank SD card. Sd card blank or has unsupported filesystem. I tried to reformat on phone but still nothing. Any ideas?

have you tried removing and putting into a computer to see if you can access it?
if that doesnt work then somehow it got corrupted or it went bad.

Yup the computer doesn't recognize anything at all. I put it into a camera and it says need to be formatted so I do so and it just stays on a screen saying Formatting. IDK whats going on with the stupid thing. Sent HTC a email and maybe they might send me one or something. Who knows it's a shot.

Sounds like its dead. I would just pick up a new one. You can get a 16gb class 6+ for under $30 online.

I love HTC so much! Sent an email out last night, got one back today and they are going to send a new one. Just have to send old one back. Hopefully they wont see my custom roms on there lol. Any ways HTC saves the day once again and I get a good ol 8gb card back.

i would still buy another. there 8GB is straight up Class 2. Barely writes over 2MB/sec. You can buy a class 6 8GB card for less than $15.00 on Newegg shipped.

Thanks...

Micro SD card stopped working. PLEASE Help!

This weekend I was driving along and my CoPilot stopped working. Then I noticed that a couple of other apps weren't working and that the camera said it wouldn't take photo's until I inserted the SD card. I've had an 8GB card in there for the last 18 months.
Taking the card out of the phone and putting it in the PC does nothing. The PC at first says the card needs formatting but if you say yes it just says, insert a card.
I took some pictures at a friends Stag Party and I really need to get these pics off the card. I don't care about anything else.
I've tried a few of these "recover your images from a corrupted or formatted card" programs but they all require the card to be visible to the PC for them to work.
Has anyone get any ideas? Please help me

You could try a differnt card reader/different pc and hope that it works then, but tbo if its borked then with paying lots for data recovery, I'd say your out of luck

Sadly, I think you might be right. Looks like that card has gone to silicone heaven to be with all the calculators.

I would try every usb plug you have on your computer. i had the same problem and i kept at it. it took me several days to finally get it to work & to be honest im not sure why/how it did but i was thankful none the less.
i used this program & like i said i just kept trying. what worked 4 me was i held the card in the computer but only half way which the computer then was able to see the card. if you format the card you will lose everything on it so if you want pics off it & you format it you wont be able 2 recover them.

Thanks for the advice I'll give it a shot.
I thought at least if I could get it formatted then I could use some picture recovery software to get the pics back. It's so frustrating because there are only about 10 pics that I'm even bothered about. Everything else it backed up

hopefully that program will let you see that card, it did with mine eventhough though computer wouldnt. odd i know. i wouldnt apply or mess around to much with that program if you dont know what your doing because you can make it more difficult to regain your images. i gave the link 4 version 5 but i used version 6. i couldnt find it earlier 2 post, sorry. they do have a data recovery program that i used as well but ill have to hunt it down 1st & then i'll post the link.
i bought a hacked 16gb memory stick off ebay (!%$#@&$) that became corrupted and i was able to recover some of my files using the programs below. hope this will help you out.
MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition 6.0
MiniTool Power Data Recovery

Thanks a lot man. I'd managed to find those from your first link. In fact, Partition Wizard actually suggests the 2nd program if the first one doesn't find anything
I've run Partition Wizard against it. It took all night after starting it at about 9pm it finished at 8am this morning. It thought my 8GB card was a 2TB drive but hey, at least it could see something which is more than any other tool.
I didn't find anything using that one but I'm going to try the Power Data Recovery tonight. Fingers crossed.
