Hi i was using folder mount to have games on my sd which may or may not be related. Recently every time i insert an sd card my phone lags and then crashes after 30 secs to a min stopping me doing anything.. the phone works fine without an sd card.. i am using a rooted stock rom of 4.2.2
My question is that is this a hardware issue or a software problem i havent found anyone else having the same problem if it is software does anyone have a fix.. or if its hardware will a phone repair shop be able to solve it or must i send it bk to samsung.. thx for any help.... mat
Ps i have used numerous sd cards and all cause the same problem.
Can anyone shed some light?????

my SD card keeps disapearing from my windows explorer and i have to take it out and reinsert it to make it work again. Anyone with wm6 on BA having the same problem?
I think this is hardware problem: dirty connection on card or in the device. I had similar problem with one card.
Can be also card problem.
Could it also be related to the rom? I have this same problem after my last flashing and I think I hve read about others experiencing this after reflashing to a particular rom.
I had this problem with WM2003 but after upgrading to WM6, I never faced this issue.
sad to say i have the same issue till finally it cannot show any cards at all.
i sent the device to several people even outside country and they confirmed it's an IC failure and has to be replaced.
i still did not do it...
I am currently using pdaviet rom. I didnt try another one to check if its a rom related problem. had an alpine before and noticed this problem also but it rarelly happened then.
My brother said that he had this problem too, but he solved it. It was since he installed a software called 'Storage Tools'. Did you do the same with your handheld?
My brother solved this just by uninstalling the software.
Okay, i hope this'd be useful.
I experienced this numerous times while using the original WM2003SE, but since upgrading to WM6 I have not had it once. The only thing I had (one time) was my card being seen as Storage Card2 and I also showed a Storage Card folder but it was not my card. I deleted it and reinserted the card and soft reset and all went back to normal.
This may also have to do with the sd card going to sleep and not waking up in which case it is software related and not hardware. Maybe setting the card not to go to sleep will solve the problem though with battery draining faster. Anyone know the setting or registry edit for this?
Upgrading to wm6.1
Try upgrading to ROM6.1, I had mine constantly missing too when I flashed to wm6. Now the problem settled. I am using PDAViet wm6.1, very stable.
This trouble was on my IPAQ rx1950 (it was before BA). Try to format\defrag your card, better in FAT (<2gb).
I have this problem in WM6, upgrade to WM6.1 solved it.
go and buy now you n000000bss
yes upgrading to wm6.1 solved this problem also.
mechanical problem
I have trouble with taking out the SD-card of the slot. Does anybody have an idea how to solve this problem ?
try dissasembling it... i know there's a post here with a link to the pictures on the steps how to do it.
then you can see how your SD got stuck.

thanks ,,,, but i already formatted it many times.. i just bought this 3 weeks ago.
hmm...try using different cards, 128mb for eg, just to check. but it seems some people have had this problem before.
http://www.gsmarena.com/i_mate_jamin-reviews-1420p6.php
128 Mb seems very small ... whenever i had to reset my phone ... it fails to recognize it.. i have to pull out my memory thrice or so just to fix the problem.. so annoying...
well I seem to have the same problem a while ago and i believed mines was a hardware issue and maybe your is too. I also had a program called Card Export or something like that around the same time my phone acted up. Try removing that program if you have it
Check your card for errors with Storage Tools ....Doesnt sound like hardware issue, more likely one of the programs causing this.
no apps is installed on my phone and this mmc is newly formatted... doest seem to recognize it either.. i have to rest it few times just to fix it.. ill try diferent mmc and i'll update you guys thanks a lot for the help..
Hey guys .. i had this awful problem on my b7610. My storage card got wiped out .. dunno y .. just out of the blues .. everything got deleted ..all i could see was few unreadable large files that were abt 700 mb & 120mb... with some weird names ( actually symbols)
This has happened to me once .. but this sucker deleted all 16 gb of storage
i saw this thread too http://www.modaco.com/content/b7610-omnia-...in-memory-card/
but this thread doesnt gave any definate solution ..
IS THERE SOME PATCH OR SOMETHING .. i m using original windows mobile 6.1 rom
P.S this is my thread regarding this problem on modaco have a look:- http://www.modaco.com/content/b7610-omnia-pro-b7610-modaco-com/303060/major-major-problem/
i have had storage card issues with an omnia and an omnia i920. what i did was take the storage card to a card reader and when it wasnt readable by the phone - it was readable by the card reader and pc. i have no idea why. so i transferred all info to computer - formatted storage card and put info back. this has happened to me more than once. in all cases the storage card was fine after the reformat. i have no idea if this will work for you but its worth a try.
thanx for the reply bro .. i have formatted it from pc . now its working fine .but my question is that Y DID IT HAPPENED ???
I LOST EVERYTHING
RE
On page 19 of the USER Manual it says that formatting the memory card on a PC may cause incompatibility with your device. It says to format the memory card only on the device.
I hope this helps
i have no idea why it happens. it happened often on omnia and i have had it twice on omnia 2. bought new 16gig card - class 6 - happened once - reformatted, etc and its been fine for four months. hi tech life is challenging.
I got this problem too! feel so tired working with it.
finally, i use a recovery tool to bring something back to the phone. Then install what i want to again and only hope that they will not disappear again.
if anyone ever know how to deal with this problem , pls help
hey guys. we ought to find a solution for this problem .. its killing me
i guess there is no solution to this problem
actually, it happens again
OMG i'm so distressed.
hard reset
happened again! took a photo and then the files just disappeared.
googled it - can't find the solution.
wish someone could help

Hi i would like to ask to fellow seniors and developers of xda,
Why does my phone says phone storage is not mounted? I tried everything from factory data reset to the PHV ( Power + Home + Volume Up ) buttons. And it seems nothing is working. I have been looking for answers for days. And i dont think anyone has this problem than me. Im the only one with the problem. SD Card is not reading as well. I tried my SD Card on my wife's SM-N900 ( same as mine ) and it work well. Nothing happened. Is there any solution to this? Please help me solve this issue. Thank you for your time. /;

I tried to download something from WhatApp and it says " Download Failed : Cannot download because no internal shared storage is available. Please unmount it as a disk drive and try again". I never did do anything and it unexpectedly became something like that. Is there no solution to this issue ?

It might be a hardware problem specific to your phone - a bad contact or something similar. Test with 2-3 different micro-SD cards that all are (recently) tested and working fine in other phones.

Does the card work (is it seen) in another phone? If yest try to format it on the pc and see if it is recognised then in the N3, if not the card may be damaged.

Yes it worked well on other phone's via alcatel. So it means that there's something wrong with my hardware right ? How do i change the firmware? Maybe something went wrong with its firmware? It has never fell before since its brand new..

Hi suddenly the SD card starts functioning and today it goes on and off means, sometimes it reads by itself and other time it gives blank sd card.
My note 3 is not rooted and Samsung guys informed that warranty ceases with rooting.
Can I have other workaround without rooting.
Thanks a lot for the support.
