Hello!
I noticed such a bug on my Fire HD8: when I connect an external sd card as an external drive, the system, or rather the icons, are loaded quite slowly (5-10 seconds), as soon as I take out the sd card, the system loads instantly, including icons. Tell me, how can I speed up the system boot process when the SD card is connected?
Hehe, it looks like I solved my problem myself by replacing the Sandisk micro sd card 128gb (white one) with 64gb (red one) of the same brand. Believe it or not, the system after the replacement began to boot much faster. ) I used the SD card as an external drive. Hope this helps someone. Did you know? But not me! )
So it goes!

Recently I've been having major troubles with my 8GB MicroSD card (it came with my G1), the phone recognises it has an card in it, I can eject it and mount it. I can't take pictures (it tells me to insert an SD Card) and in the Pictures app the thumbnails arn't there (it just shows a grey square with an exclamation mark there) but if I open the picture it shows perfectly.
Is there anything I can do or do I have to format the card?
BTW: I'm on RC9
Ah never mind
Just formatted the card and all perfect now
I'm having SD card issues. Suddenly the SD card isn't recognized; certain folders/files don't show up in the file manager. I also get a message when opening the camera, stating, "Please insert an SD card before using the camera." If I remove, then re-insert, the card reappears, but I get an error message that I removed it improperly. It reverts back to the initial problem soon after.
Please Help!!!
Unmount the SDcard,
Settings> SD card & storage > Unmount SD card
from there you'll click Format SD card..
You'll lose any data you have but since the card isnt reading anyways there isnt much else you can do to fix that.

This issue isn't a constant one; it reads the card properly most of the time. Is reformatting the only solution to this problem, or is there anything else I can try?
Well if it reads it some of the time the it seems like its a sd card slot that's the problem and not the card... MyTouch's have had some problems with fault sd card slots. You might look into sending it back to HTC and having it repaired seeing as it's most likely a hardware issue.

that blows! i've only had the phone a couple months. this issue started happening recently, not the entire time i've had the phone. is there a way for me to test the slot on my own, without having to send it out?
SD Card Data
Since I've bought the T-Mobile myTouch 3G (1.2/LE) I've had reoccurring problems with the 8GB microSD card that came with the phone. It would randomly say that the card was blank, but a quick pop in and out of the slot fixed the problem. The problem has turned permanent now; my pop in/out method hasn't worked (it still comes up blank). When I insert the SD card into my standalone SD card reader it goes unrecognized; nothing happens (which is the standard reaction when plugging in the reader without a card).
I have another 2GB microSD card which works fine (on my phone and with the card reader), so the problem isn't the card reading mechanism. While in the SD card settings on my phone I hit "Format" by mistake I then clicked the "Erase" button in the following prompt, however nothing happened! Something strange is going on, which leads me to believe that there's a chance I can recover the lost data on the card. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Probably a bad sdcard. It happens. Reformat and try it again. If that fails then get a new sdcard.
By the way, I'm merging with a similar post that you made a couple of months ago.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=692071
I'm trying to keep this forum clean and organized you know.
Now the 2GB card got erased! It was called "2GB," Now it's blank (besides a directory called "LOST.DIR" w/ nothing in it) and called "NO NAME."
Do you think the phone could be causing this to keep happening? This is how it started w/ the 8GB card until it eventually stopped being recognized at all. Is the SD format supposed to be FAT32?

Hi everyone. This is the 3rd time my phone has spontaneously unmounted my card, and this time it simply destroyed my microSD card. I have no music on the card (read that thread) nor have I yet had any re-boot cycle problems. I simply get a message that the card has been "unexpectedly removed". It has, of course, not been. The first 2 times I was able to get the card working again with no data loss. I turned the phone off, took the card out, rebooted the phone without it, then re-inserted it and rebooted the phone again. It was fine. This time, the card was simply dead. My phone wouldn't see it, nor would my computer. I changed out the little adapter card case and finally the computer saw there was something, but said it was not in "any known format". My only choice was to format the card. I formatted it on the computer and ran a disk check on it, put it in the phone and booted up. I got a little icon with a question mark, and a message that the card was either blank or un-formatted. So, I let the phone format it. Again. It now shows up in the storage description, empty and usable- so I don't think it's a bad card. The card is a Samsung 8 gig card. Note3 is stock, 4.3, Verizon is the carrier. Build JSS15J.N900VVRUBMJE
I want to add that I think it has something to do with the camera. I have the camera app save directly to the card. I've noticed that on all three occasions this has happened, its been shortly after I had a couple of odd photos. A portion, usually the lower third of the photo (if you think of a grid) is gray. Just like part of it is cut off. I auto-save my photos to google, and they look fine when I view them there, but on the phone, they were corrupt. One didn't show up in the thumbnail preview in the gallery at all. Also, the camera was taking an inordinately long time to save. All my photo stuff is stock...gallery and camera app...no editing software except what little bit is offered in the gallery.
Has anyone else had similar problems. Anyone have any ideas for a fix?
I would try another card. If it happens again, then it's your phone. Sounds like a hardware issue. So try another card, if it happens again, Factory Reset. If it happens after that with different cards, then I would send my phone in for a replacement.

FWIW, I have fooled around with moving microSD cards between:
(i) a camera (which uses a SD card adapter for the uSD)
(ii) a (POS) USB dongle card reader attached to a computer
(iii) same (POS) USB dongle card reader attached to a Nexus 7 OTG cable (rooted ROM or TWRP recovery running)
(iv) an older Android (Gingerbread) phone
In doing the above, all sorts of bad things have happened:
1) Occasionally the camera reports there is no card present (honestly, I think this is simply loose contacts when using a uSD to SD card adapter). Turning off the camera and re-inserting the card fixes this.
2) Loss of all files necessitating re-format after re-inserting card into Camera following a visit with the N7**
3) VFAT filesystem not recognized by OS kernel on the N7+OTG, but works fine with TWRP with same OTG+card reader (that is, some kind of strange kernel sensitivity)
4) Failure of Camera to recognize media after insertion into the GB Android phone - apparently due to many directories created at the SD card root. Card is not corrupted, but camera no longer recognizes it.
** this would only occur if I used the SD Card slot of the (POS) USB dongle card reader; if I plugged the the uSD card into the uSD slot on the (POD) USB dongle card reader, things were fine. Go figure.
So I guess what I am saying is that - based on my experience - your mileage is probably going to vary .
I was doing all this (albeit not with a Note 3) while I was travelling, and only had the Camera, Nexus 7, OTG cable, camera USB cable, and (POS) USB dongle card reader with me - no laptop or other computer.
Finally what I ended up doing - which seemed to cause the least amount of trouble - was to boot my tablet into recovery, and attach the camera to the tablet as an OTG Mass storage device. That is: the uSD card never leaves the camera.
I'm not up to speed about OTG on the Note 3 yet (e.g. is root even needed?), so I don't know what your options are there, but perhaps this gives you a couple of different things to try.
Just make sure you've got all your photos backed up safely off the uSD card before you start experimenting.
cheers

[Edit] I see I am guilty of not reading the OP carefully - you were only moving the card out of the Note3 to investigate what was going wrong, not as a matter of course.
Anyway, it could be a mechanical issue (intermittent contacts), or it could be a bad card. Although card class might make a difference for high-speed writing, you shouldn't experience corruption even if you are using a very slow (class 2) card - unless there are bugs in the kernel.
If you have another card to try out (before you rush out and start buying cards), that might be a useful experiment.
Question? SD Card from eBay? I had no luck with 3 64GB Class 10 cards off eBay got fed up and went to Walmart and got a Ultra U1 Class 10 64GB and haven't had a problem since. I have tons of music and pics on it no problems for the last 2 months. Lots of fake SD Cards on eBay from what I read.
Just my 2 cents
I just found this again...I got pneumonia shortly after posting the original thread. Thanks to all for replying...I just forgot about this. SD card never did work properly. Just got OTA KitKat so I'll see how that plays out. I'm reading there are even more issues with external cards now.

Absolutely no idea. It's a 2 gig older card. That being said, it didn't like my 8 gig card, which works fine in my tablet, either

I've had issues with Sandisk 64gb class 10 cards randomly locking on my Note II and III.....turns out to be a samsung issue according to Samsung.

i moved my old sd card over (its a 64 GB sandisk UHC1, class 10). every so often i get a notification that its preparing sd card or the sd card was removed. anyone else experience this? i unmounted, removed, rebooted, and put it back.... no luck.
All the time...
I get this all the time and it is quite annoying as it will happen while I am taking photos or video. The only work around is to have the camera record to the phone's internal storage then move all the photos and videos over. However, while viewing photos or videos and the phone throws the unexpectedly removed error, the whole phone will lock up and doesn't even respond to the power button. I have to remove the battery and put it back in to reboot after it has locked up.
I think the way they designed the SD card slot is just flimsy. I miss the satisfying spring-loaded SD card slot that felt like it was locking the SD card in there. I've pushed down on the metal above the slot to see if that helps, but so far it has not.
I really love this phone, but if the SD card keeps having problems I may send it back and get something else.
I tried to solve this problem, but nothing gives me any hope. I hope you can save me here, otherwise I sell the phone and migrate to iPhone permanently. 6-7 months ago I bought a 128 SanDisk SD card and when inserted in the phone I formated it as internal storage. Everything worked fine until a week ago (same day when I updated to 7.0), when the card started to unmount randomly (which caused my phone having no ringtones, no pictures, etc.). It is revesable by restarting the phone - it immediately recognizes the card but just for 1 hour or less. This time seams to be longer if you manipulate the card through the phone, if you try connecting it to the computer or uploading files to a cloud storagge - it drops to 1-2 minutes - so you see I cant take my photos out of it. I installed SE explorer and Files to SD Card app - both don't recognize the difference between the original build in memory and the SD card so I can't migrate anything. I am starting to belive that the card might be the problem, as I tried to put in a adapter and then a card reader and it didn't show up in My computer at all (or is this normal, I red that the card is encrypted?). Anyway - I am looking for a solution (prefferably app or build in Android function) that will allow me to migrate my pictures and videos from the internal memory formated SD card to my actual internal memory.
