SD Card unexpectedly remvoed - Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Goddamnit! I keep getting this stupid error: !Sd Card unexpectedly removed!
it happens randomly and my sd card becomes unavailable for a period of time....this causes some of my apps on my homescreen to turn into generic blue "loading" icons and they never return to normal even after the sd card is recognized!
This is super effing annoying...I formatted my sd card, put the contents back onto it, and its still happening...
WTF?!

I would try a different SD card. If that doesn't fix it, return the phone for a replacement.

I figured it out--- if that slit compartment door is open AT ALL, and you push it by accident when you grab or anything like that, it triggers the phone removing the sd card then maybe preparing it again right away...
basically: make sure that slit is 100% closed and snug and there shouldn't be any problems

Memory card issue

It seems that either my memory card or my phone is messed up..I found out when I tried to take pictures the other day. Says please insert SD card. When I take the card out and insert it back in and start the phone back up it shows this little white task thing and says ok to take SD card out or something. Not sure what's going on? Any suggestions?

format the card (backup ypur stuff first), if that does not fix it it is likely that the card needs to be replaced

Appears that my Memory card is bad. That blows, no idea how that could happen? Oh well what do you do.

'Blank External SD card' ???

was trying to access a game after putting it into my phone and it froze, causing me to take out the battery and restart it.
After that, the phone wouldn't read the memory card but everything was fine.
I went back to stock and still, it's not reading it but everything else works fine. I will eventually have to re-root it but anyone know what the problem is?
after pulling down the upper bar, it says "SD card blank or has unsupported file system." HELP!!!!!!!!!!
Do You have a micro sd to sd adapter and an sd reader? If so, does your computer read the info? If not then the card is messed up, and needs to be formatted (lose everything) or replaced. Sometimes cards just die.
If you don't have an adapter and sd reader, then you can try formatting it from your phone but again, you will lose everything.
Had a similar problem, in the end bestbuy replaced my sd card as it happened the day I bought my phone. I would start by trying to use it in either another phone or on a computer(like in a usb micro sd card adapter)

Click to expand...

seems like the card died because of a corrupted game file,..which sucks!
think I need to get another SD card...dammit..
computer won't read it, phone won't read it..
and like you devastator, i got the phone 5 days ago and had to replace the phone once already because of a crack inside the screen causing dead pixels. blahhh

Dropped phone, now it can't see my micro SD

Hi guys, I dropped my phone for the first time EVER in my life (was really sleepy).
Now I can't use my sd card, the phone gave me a popup that it was unexpectedly removed and after that it keeps saying it encountered a problem.
Things like Gallery tell me to "please insert an sd card", it's in there!
I have no idea what to do and it's at least three months left until I can get a new phone, please help me.
Oh, by the way, my phone's not rooted, just normal HTC Sense.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Thread can be closed, I was a dummy and didn't try to remove battery first.
Haha i know the feeling

try to remove it and put it back again. if that doesnt help..recover your photos and everything else with some software and format it
Oh my God..
I didn't even drop it and now it happened again!
Removing the battery and micro sd card didn't work. :crying:
Depending on what important info you have on your SD card, you could consider formatting it via your PC, if you have an SD card slot somewhere.
I had a similar issue some months ago, and formatting the card (via Windows) did the trick.
Of course, remember that formatting the card will erase all data on it, and therefore it could render some apps on your phone to be useless / or not work.
(This might sound weird, but if you have another SD card, try formatting that too and putting that in your phone. Then take out the battery, put the original SD card in and see if it is OK after booting up.)

Blank SD Card SD card is blank or has unsupported files

I bought a generic 64GB sd card off ebay. Card worked in my phone till i tried to transfer files to it then all of a sudden after reboot it shows "Blank SD Card SD card is blank or has unsupported files" The funny thing is this card read in any other phone my wifes s3 my mothers LG and even my co workers S4 (granted shes on ATT) It does not matter how many times i take it out and put it back in I still get the blank SD. I put it in a card reader and all the files are there. I have formated it to ext4 fat32 and it came fatext and once in a while if i format it it shows up in phone again till i try to put files on it and back to blank sd. I can read and write files to it no problem in another phone and sd card reader. plug and unplug it all day and it still loads up. Except on my phone. Im thinking i have a defect on my new phone. Anyone else have this problem? I even updated to the MF9 to see if this was a bug maybe they fixed. But i think its the phone when i was rooted with TWRP even twrp would freeze if i had the card plugged in till i ejected it. Oh yea cant even format it in the phone it has the option but does not work either. Some times it just keeps telling me its safe to remove card no matter how many times I hit mount.
These are the sort of things generic cards do. Your best solution is to get an authentic sd card. Be it big name brand or small.
I had this issue on my first sgs4, it also had some issue where it wasn't reading the battery properly (always at 100%). The first 32 GB card did this,read it fine at first then the sd went and did the issue you're having. Returned the phone and the same thing happened on the new phone. The card was some off brand (pny I think). Picked up a 64GB SanDisk has been working so far, but I saw this error come up fora moment but it quickly remounted.
Kind of scared it would happen again (my alarm clock will fail if the sd card dismounted). So I had to go get an old fashioned alarm clock for the first time in7 years.

SD card unexpectedly removed

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.
