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?

When temporarily swapping mSD, corrupts programs.
Temporarily swapped mSD cards so a friend could use my phone as a mSD card reader as he didnt have one handy. A bunch of programs failed to launched and were FCing. Which is to be expected, as the SD was storing them. But when i put my mSD card back in, the programs continue to FC, whenever trying to launch them. I ran fix_permissions. Didn't help. Even after upgrading to CM5.0.7n1-test2 (previously on CM5.0.6, and i didn't upgrade to fix the issue, i just upgraded around this time )
So is there a global solution to this? Or must I reinstall every app? (it was an awful lot of apps, events such as connectivity, receiving SMS/MMS and boot had occurred)
Also, i think APP2SD should have this little error rectified.... So when the program's are missing from mSD the programs crash, but dont get corrupt....
Sigh, I should have never returned my original EVO, seems like the new phone I got last week is giving me nothing but headaches. First it was rooting issue, and now I'm experiencing SD card unmounting issue, the phone will not recognize the card for no apparent reason during use (sometimes when I'm not even doing anything). Once it happens, I can't access any music, pictures, apps that are stored in SD card, and only fixes itself once I reboot the phone and after couple minutes it unmounts again. My beautiful widget will stop working and will be missing couple of numbers on the clock and that's how I know it has unmounted the SD card. Is anyone having the same issue as me? and if so can anyone recommend a fix for this problem?
I've tried reformatting, taking the SD card out and putting it back in, re-rooting the phone, nothing seems to work.
I have no suggestions other than returning the phone.

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.
I could just have a defective unit but it seems to be after I use USB Mass Storage mode all my notifications reset to factory and the Atrix doesn't always rescan my card to pull the notifications to reset them. It's irksome and happens with Internal Storage and External Storage.....anyone else experiencing this?
I didn't notice any changes after using USB Mass Storage. I mounted my phone, copied some photos, and then dismounted. This is on a Linux system.
What sort of notifications changed for you?
All of them, I have custom notifications stored in a folder on my card called "Media" then in a subfolder called "Notifications" when I mount my phone in USB Mass Storage mode and eject the SD card, I notice that all my Notifications reset to "Unknown Ringtone" I just did a factory reset to see if that will resolve the issue, but I have to wait for all my applications to download. Should be interesting to see what happens.
Yea, on 3 separate Windows 7 Systems once I mount my Device in USB Mass Storage mode, the moment I go back to The Standard Motorola Portal (or even directly unplug the device) My notifications are reset to "Unknown Ringtone" in all the apps that I use. I did a factory reset last night so the only thing I am left with is the possibility that this phone may be defective if I'm the only one with this issue.
i'm having the same exact issue. Even after restarting my phone and reformatting my SD card my phone still doesn't recognize my SD card in the gallery or music, but if i use the files application it shows everything is still there

Not identical issue, but quite similar, it's as if once the Mass Storage is enabled the phone forgets 100% about the cards and any settings that were maintained on said cards. Clearly this is a bug that shouldn't have existed in a Product that is released and Moto needs to get on this to fix it.
I believe I have the same problem - The notification tones reset. Custom ringtones switch to just random mp3s(not ringtone mp3s) and the main ringer switches to the generic default. On mine I also notice that the default actions(which browser to use, what app to use with a specific file) are open after being connected via USB mass storage. I get prompted to select a default action every time after mass storage mode.
This is an issue on both my Captivate and Atrix. I just copy the files into the system's media folders and don't have an issue. It's not only with Motorola but Samsung as well. It may be an Android thing, not the manufacturer....

I believe laskint is correct, and I am having the same issue when the notifications or ringtones are stored on the SD card. I was thinking about placing all my tones in the system folder right before my Google search led me to your thread here at XDA, so... Without further adieu... I'm transferring my files now, and I'll report tomorrow if that fixes the issue. I'm two hours shy of being awake 24 hours. x_x

Guys,
I'm using GT-I9500 with 32 GB Micros SD Card (Sandisk Ultra HC) in in the past, it happened maybe once or twice I received the notification stating: "SD Card was removed unexpectedly". Of course - I did not remove it from the phone but still notification popped up and card was "gone" (phone could not see it). Everything returned back to normal after reboot.
This problem occurred maybe once a three weeks and it wasn't a big deal.
Situation has changed with firmware update i9500XXUBMEA (stock, no root). Since then, my card gets unmounted 10 times a day - or more. It happens most often when I put my phone away and when I wake it up - I get the message about "Unexpected removal" or "SD card is being prepared" (like it was just mounted).
This second message is now even a bigger issue because it looks like - when phone is asleep, SD card gets unmounted and mounted back many times ! This causes a HUGE battery drain due to MediaScanner service constantly indexing this card upon remounting. It goes to the point where 60% of my battery is gone in 1,5-2h.
I tried this SD card in my Blackberry - no problem. I tried in my wife's phone - no problem. Only problem occurs in my S4.
If i take out the card - MediaScanner drain does not occur anymore.
Any ideas? Any help?

Same issue on my S4.
I also have 32 GB Micros SD Card. I was thinking to get sdcard replaced under warranty.
But it appears, sdcard is working fine on other phones.
Same problem here.
No solution?

Sandisk admits to faults with SD cards and that they have implemented fix in new cards.
