Hello, since a few months, my Tomtom 7.916 crashes regularly. It has 3 appearences:
1) complete freeze, need to remove battery
2) distorted screen
3) crashing program: gives message that files from storage card cannot be read.
In case of 2) and 3), my HD mini seems not able to find the Storage Card anymore: both in settings and in explorer. After a soft reset, the card is back again. During sommer Holiday, I did not have any issue at all. The only thing I remember from that time is that at some stage, the storage card was known as storage card2, which was also quite annoying though, but that happened only once or twice: my issue now happens everytime I use Tomtom, sometimes once every hour, sometimes once every minute.
Any ideas are welcome.
i have faced the same issue i lost all my data and apps that was stored on my memory card , it happened after i was using the the phone while being plugged to the pc and i restated my phone cuz it was stuck (still plugged ) after i switched on back the phone to my surprise i cudnt read my installed apps it says either the app is removed or relocated but then when i went to the explorer file to take a look at my storage card i found it empty !!!!!! i lost all the data there
i have a 8 GB memory card so im guessing maybe the issue is from the card itself or that its from china!! i have no clue yet, up to now its working fine .
ok, I must say in my case, I never lost any data from the storage card. But indeed, it cold still be the cause of the problems. Are there any ways to reformat the SD card in order to obtain more reliabile performance? What did you do with it when you lost all the data?
Did another check:
when Tomtom is running, and I plug in the USB cable and choose the diskdrive option, I get exactly the same failure signature 1) 2) or 3) as listed above. So maybe, my HD mini sometimes "thinks" a data cable is connected iso just the charger. I know there has been an issue in the beginning with the HD mini not recognising when a charging cable was connected.
Any thought on this? Do I talk nonsense?
Try TTN7.917.9186_vga_black_cuckoo_NOBT instead of 916, had the same issues with 916 before!

Sorry, made a mistake in my first post: this 7.917.9186 is exactly the one I am already running.
Had the same issue with my storage card. Solved by reinstalling the same software again (7.916)
Does it only happen with tom tom? I haven't used tom tom today, but my SD card suddenly is gone ! This is the second time in a few months...and it really annoys me, it really looks like a bug in WM. Thankfully this time, after a reboot it works again....
I had similar effects also without Tomtom, but then the storage card became "storage card 2". And after a reboot it became "storage card" again. But with Tomtom I completely loose the card, and it comes back after reboot. So a bit different, but your case could have the same reason. I will try a reinstall.
Hi!
So around christmas time my phone stock Galaxy S4 GT-i9506 4.4.2 started getting weird.
I kept wondering why my sound profile kept changing to something else eventough I've set it ie. for vibrate.
One day I noticed what was going on.
Everytime I open "settings" no matter how, through the gear in the upper corner of the notification drop down screen or from the app drawer, whatever...
My phone changes the sound profile automatically to silent. Once I exit the "settings" area alltogether the sound profile automatically changes to sound again.
No matter what profile I had to begin with it changes to silent when entering the "settings" area and to sound when exiting the "settings" area.
This problem still exists.
If i mess around in the sound settings area, everytime I open a setting to change, the sound profile goes to sound
momentarily until I back out from the menu to somewhere else in the general settings area, then it instantly goes back to silent again.
I haven't installed any apps that mess with sound settings.
Problem number 2 :
My phone started to randomly get really hot during which the battery drained really fast. And sometimes the phone would freeze.
Shutting down and starting the phone always made the phone work as normal again.
Next phase was that the phone started to randomly get hot again as before but this time the phone went to a boot loop.
The phone kept restarting itself over and over again.
In fact my aunts Samsung phone (don't know the model) started doing the same thing recently. I told her to remove the SD card and the phone was back to normal, so I guess this is a common problem with Samsung phones.
Next phase was that on top of the boot loop the phone kept unmounting and mounting the SD card. A Kingston micro SDHC 16GB class 4 card that wasn't too full.
Shutting down by removing the battery and starting again made the phone stable for a while. While the phone was stable "Gallery" functioned normally as any way of browsing the files on the SD card.
I still figured that the SD card was the problem, I removed it and the phone was back to normal apart from the sound profile problem.
Now to the things I need help the most.
I really need the files from the SD card but the SD Card wont open anymore in any computer, card reader or phone I've tried.
How can I recover the files from the SD card? A file recovering program perhaps?
What program is the best for this? It doesn't have to be free.
Also I guess an factory reset would fix the sound profile issue and some other occasional problems, but I would like to keep my phone as it is .
Is there a way to backup the whole phone, and do a factory reset and then restore every app, setting, file etc. I MEAN EVERYTHING back as they were? I just wan't my phone as it is without these bugs.
You can factory reset your phone but you can't recover everything. This is the idea of reset to get a fresh phone...
I put in Samsung SD card yesterday and this stupid notification keeps coming back even after trying disabling notifications. Anyone know how to get rid of this
Swipe to dismiss it. But once you restart your phone, it will come back. It's annoying for sure.
I think Samsung will release an update to fix this bug. I have the same problem too, you're not alone.
you may want to try powering off, eject sim tray, make sure microsd card is positioned properly in tray, carefully reinsert.
after that, hopefully the notification only occurs on boot. I did that yesterday, so far so good. My music app seemed be be having trouble finding music on my sd, which is why i tried this.
I was having the same problem with the sd-card notification so I copied everything and then formatted it in the phone then placed my back ups back in and haven't had the problem since try that it worked for me
Has anyone been able to move apps to SD as reported by Droid-Life? I cannot for the life of me figure out how.

Go to Settings>Applications> Applications Manager> Select the App you want to move> Storage> Change, and select "SD Card"
That will do ti.
PS you cannot do that on preinstalled apps.
Hey guys, just wanted to post a solution to the problem. All of you with this phone, that use an external SD card, are getting an annoying notification that says, "SD card For transferring photos and media," and it doesnt seem to go away. If this message appears over and over again in your status bar, the only known way to get rid of it was to previously just keep "clearing" it out or remove the SD card completely.
If you are receiving a notification "SD card For transferring photos and media" on your Samsung Galaxy S7 and you cannot get the notification to go away, please try to do the following:
1. BACKUP your sd card - plug your phone into your computer and copy off the contents of the SD card
2. On the phone, navigate to: Settings >> Memory >> SD Card
3. In the submenu, choose FORMAT
All of the data on the memory card will be formatted to the correct file system and the memory card will be reconnected to the phone for proper use. The message, "SD card For transferring photos and media" should no longer appear.
Hopefully this helped you out! Thanks!
But didn't most of us formatted the cards already the first time we insert it into the phone, and still getting the notification? At least I did. Do I need to format again?

That doesn't work. I did that a few days ago and while the notifications went away for an entire two days, they came back and never left until I just removed the SD card completely. I even tried taping the SD card in the tray.
Just another bug filled phone from Samsung.

Put my PNY 128gb back in after the update to test. So far so good, but it's only been an hour....
Edit1: Made it through a full day without the sd unmounting. This used to happen every 20 minutes or so before the update. Fingers crossed.
Edit2: Update didn't help. Unmounted a few times today.
I had this problem when I first got the phone on Friday night but it went away overnight. It hasn't popped up since

You might get lucky but mine went away for over 24 hours and then reared it's ugly head again.

That is crazy, but yeah I was pretty annoyed by it. If I remember I'll ask a Samsung rep tomorrow when I go to work and see if they know anything about it

Not everyone gets this popup - could it be connected to specific SDCards and not all. I put a brand X 256 kg card in and no issies so far.

That's what I'm thinking. I'm using a SanDisk Extreme 64GB and I only get the notification when I reboot but I can swipe it away

I haven't seen a notification since I changed it over to adoptable storage.

I figured they would go away when you change it to adoptable storage. Maybe these notifications are a bug Samsung created while trying to hide these SD card features such as adoptable storage from us.
Do you know if using adoptable storage lowers the read/write speeds?
There re two threads about the sd issue on the s7 edge forum and one in the s7 forum. Total of 8 people having problems. I checked several of the other carriers s7/s7 edge forums and not a single post that I could find.
I called T-Mo, and after messing with a tech guy for 10 minutes, they decided I should just get another phone. I was assured over and over again that it would not affect my BOGO submission, but the person who took my replacement order told me to make another submission after I get the replacement, which kind of makes me nervous. This phone if OK if it's free, but I wouldn't pay for it.
This notification keeps popping up a couple times a day. I've formatted, mounted, unmounted the card and it's still haunting me.
Is there any way to stop this?
Its a standard firmware thing it seems. Everyone with sd card gets it

Does it only happen after a reboot? If so that's normal and there doesn't seem to be a way of supressing it.
If not then you may have an SD card problem. Some people have complained that the SD card keeps getting unmounted due to errors.

I also have this but only after reboot. I don't have issues this unmounted card. I think you're right that's the sd card is maybe the problem. I have a Samsung evo 64gb in it. Used it in my s5 before.
I tried re sitting the card but no luck. I ended up removing it for now. Not happy cause it's never happened before with any other phone
The card stays mounted and works 100% but I keep getting that notification with no reboot involved.
You can just clear it away but it still rears it's ugly head a couple times a day.

I have the Samsung 128GB Pro + in a Verizon S7 edge. Maybe I should use a slower card?

At least I'm not alone.
I'm getting it at random times, mostly when the phone is off. I even remounted the Samsung Evo+ 64G to make sure it's on correctly. It's happening and it's annoying.
PNY 64 GB high capacity and it's driving me insane. Even if I unmount it the phone automatically mounts it every so often!!
I get the same message when I power down and back up and thats on a samsung evo+.. haha

The notification presents itself when the SD card mounts, which is why you receive it every time you reboot. If you see it during normal use then the card is being unmounted and remounted for some reason. This means there is an issue either with the card, the card slot or a system process crash.

I will reseat the card when I have a chance and let you guys know. I've been having a few weird issues with this phone though. I can't enable System UI options by holding the settings icon in the notification center... it just never spins, my battery drains very fast in use and this SD card thing.
I am also getting these annoying SD Card notifications. Mine happen every time I turn the phone off. The notification is there when I wake the phone back up.
The card is a SanDisk 64gb Extreme Pro.

I tried 3 different SD cards I had laying around and they'll all kept getting unmounted.
Here's how I fixed it: of course make sure than both the SD and the sim card are properly sitting on the tray , then SLOWLY insert the tray straight from all angles. When I say slowly it means between 8-15 seconds and NOT with a swift push!
There is a notification you can turn off so these stop. I believe its in the My Files app from samsung. turn off the notifications and it should go away.
( i may be wrong on the app, i had a bunch i turned down. finding running programs was not as easy to find as my old note)
Wonder if the Samsung Pro + card is the problem?
Was going to get the 200GB Sandisk for the same price but went for the Pro + as I thought it would be better.

I was having the same problem, then I remembered the "OK Google" notification from android wear watches.
Follow along here.
This was a notification that people could not get rid of, it just sat there every time they turned the watches on.
Then people realised that it started dissapearing on its own.
Then we realised that it was set to appear until you used it so much, sort of like a reminder that it was there and then it would disappear.
Finally people realised if you just woke the watch up and said ok google a few times it would go away for good.
Still with me?
If so you might know what I am saying already.
If you use the SD card for a while the notification will go away and not come back.
I took about 20 pictures with the camera set to store pictures on the SD card and it went away.
My wife took a 20 second video and hers went away.
TLDR, Use the SD card, the notification is just a reminder that it is there and available.
I everyone! Sometimes after turning screen on the phone shows a SD card notification that disappears almost instantaneously but I lose access to the files on SD card (photos disappear from gallery and songs no shown on player pro). If I access as card via settings it is reachable and a couple of minutes later the files reappear. Seems like the card ejects itself and doesn't happen on other phone.
I'm on Oreo stock January update. Is this a known bug? I believe is not hardware failure because SD card is accessible on settings. Anyone with similar problem?
