Picked up my DHD today and was pleased I did not have the proximity sensor problem firstly. However I have a different concerning problem.
Every now and then I get an error message "sd card unexpectedly removed" and the card has unmounted itself. It happens randomly even when the phone isn't doing anything. On a quick google of this it seems this is a problem for other brands of phones too and I vaguely remember it happening to an old HTC smartphone I had years back.
It's a major blow as I installed a lot of apps on the card. I am now trying a different make of SD card to see if it still occurs.
It's a stock unlocked/unbranded UK ROM. The apps installed on the card are all 'developer designed' to be moved there. The Samsung MicroSD card is a lame class 2 8gb card thaty HTC supply.
Any thoughts on this?

Sorry for hijacking this post, but HTC providing a Samsung microSDHC card makes laugh.

Have you tried turning it on and off again? err.. I mean, take out the microsd card, blow on it, blow on the port, put it back in. Sounds like a loose connection to me.
Yes I did try the obvious things first like re-insert, blow, wipe, rub (oooh errr!)
However...
You may frown at the fact I said "lame Samsung class 2 MicroSD card" but in fact this is what was causing the problem. I replaced it with a Class 6 Transcend card and the problem went away.
The 'lame' part of the sentence was the fact it was a class 2 card. I don't think it's up to the job with HD video recording and more apps being run from the card.
Anyway touch wood (more inuendo's!) it seems to be ok for now.
I need to purchase another microSD and before I spend the extra for a class 10 or 6 unit I thought I should see if anyone knows what the max. r/w bus speed is for the Milestone 2.
FYI Take it easy getting the card out, I removed the battery and as I was sliding it out I put more pressure then required on the vertical axis and the card snapped as it hit the halfway point. Oops, again
Unfortunately, it seems like M2 doesn't handle high classe microsd cards very well. I have a class 10 16gb sdcard and never got it working properly on my mobile. Don't know if it's a hardware or software fault. Others have the same problema, and there is a thread already about this issue.
Someone said that to solve the card you should format the sd card on the phone in the settings, and it makes sense. Make a backup and try it.

Already did that. The phone lags like hell when the 16gb class10 is in it, no matter if I format it on the phone, on the pc, or anywhere. I thought it was an issue like the one on the Evo, where the read and write speeds are limited through a config file. But it didn't work. It seems like the problem is with the media scanner, because when the sdcard isn't filled with music/photos, it runs well. But a 16gb card without music, photo or video is useless =[

Have you tested the phone with a different card/brand? Maybe MS2 is not fully compatible with the card you bought. Also you may test the card on a notebook with card reader to benchmark it. You know, Class doesn't mean much. Brand is much more important than class (be careful about fake sd cards sold on eBay). I assure you that a good brand class 6 sd card can outperform a cheap class 10 card.

I guess i have a chinese sd cars and whenever im booting the android from it the android isn't stable... e.g. the screen goes black sometimes and never responds again so might this be due to the sd card itself?
Thanks
what chinese brand?
I've never tried them actually, but my last sandisk was pricy and made in china, and it was crappy as well, it was so slow and it got fried after a month of usage, taking away 7GB of important data. I switched to Taiwanese-made cards and they're pretty fine.
It's not where it's made, since some EU-made cards suck as well.
I guess you're safe with any Sandisk that's not chinese, I've tried Team and A-Data cards and they work fine.
look up SD card benchmarks, there's a page on this site (use google) it'll help you decide on a new card brand.
Hello,
I have bought a Trasnscend 32GB micro SD card. However I keep having this annoying error: the phone thinks that the SD card gets removed and a message saying SD card removed unexpectedly keeps appearing. This happens especially when I am running an app that is on the SD card or seeing videos or photos that are on it. And it has come to the point that it is almost unusable...
Please let me know what SD card you suggest I use the causes no errors. Do you use it? How has is been working?
I would like to have at least 32GB SD card. Anything over that is fine too.
Thank you very much.
Mine microsd is from fujifilm 32gb.. and works very good..

Would anyone know of a way I could fix my SD card? So that I don't have to buy a new one.
So I searched the forums and noticed a ton of other people had this SD card problem coming up. The SD card frequently says that it has unexpectedly ejected and then the SD card notification appears. Sometimes the pictures on my SD card doesn't even show up until it registers the sd card is installed. This has been something of major frustration. My family member got the gold version of the phone with me and they don't have this problem at all with the same exact SD card. They never encountered this problem. Only when it is installed for the first time or the phone is rebooted. I exchanged the phone once already and the new phone had the same problem and I am worried it is going to be a crap shoot.
I DID notice however that when I used my 16 GB Kingston SD (low write speed) card I never had this problem at all. It was functioning just as it should be. Both 64 gb sandisk and samsung SD cards (90mb/s write speed) had this problem but my 16 GB kingston did not. I am wondering if it is either the size of the card, the brand of the card or the writing speed of the card that is affecting this issue. I was wondering what other cards people were using. Either way my family members phone reads all cards perfectly so it still seems like a phone issue but at the same time different cards are working on the faulty phone so I am wondering if people have any theories.
Also I was wondering what people ultimately did with this problem. Did people keep replacing it until they got a working one? Did you just ignore it and it went away eventually? Did you just not use the SD card? Or dud you just deal with it and just swipe it away whenever you see it?
Scotch tape. Bingo

Good Lock app from the Galaxy App store fixed the issue for me. A welcome side effect...
I've had 3 s7e and only my first one exhibited the SD card issue, I have a Samsung pro+128gb, all three were sd820, I suspect the initial batch of s7e suffers from it but just a thought
