HD Mini looses Storage Card during tomtom

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.

[Q] SD card unmount during sleep / Media Scanner battery drain

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.

Restart > Damaged SD Card

Hey, so today I restarted my phone and was greeted with the error "Damaged SD Card SD Card is damaged. Try reformatting it."
Obviously I didn't want to do that. So I decided to check it and popped it into my computer and everything works fine. Restarted my phone. Popped it back into my phone. Still doesn't work. I downloaded SD Insight to verify the legitimacy of the card (which I didn't think would be a problem since I picked up the Samsung Pro one at Fry's Electronics).
Just wondering if anyone else has run into this as of late and/or has a solution based on past experience? I was trying to avoid reformatting since it works fine on my computer and it's a lot of data I'd have to deal with putting back...thanks for any help in advance!
Oh. And it's a Samsun Pro+ 64GB card. If that helps.

Had this happen on my wife's mxpe. I had to back the SD card to my pc, format it then put everything back on it. When. Doing so I noticed there were about a dozen corrupt files. Not sure how or why it happened, butnita been 3 weeks now and it hasn't happened again!

I gave up and moved everything off, reformatted, and moved it back on.
Just wanted to note: this may or may not be related to something I noticed with my music. I have some Google Play Music that I downloaded to my computer and then moved to my phone (because I hate the way Play Music only lets you download the whole album). After a few weeks, I noticed my other music players (Phonograph and Black Player Music) would stop when those songs would queue up. It would say "this song could not be played" and just quit. Funny thing is, sometimes those songs wouldn't even show up on my SD card. TIt had been happening for a couple of weeks, which prompted me to restart my phone today (though not the first time I've restarted in the same time frame). Anyway. Weird.

SD Card Notiftion keeps popping up - Help !

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.

Note 4 random random reboots / reset

Hi,
Posting for some help.
I have just bought a 2nd hand galaxy note 4 off my friend here in New Zealand.
It is running marshmallow 6.0.1 and i noticed when i put my old micro sd 32gb card in i got a few instances where the phone would randomly turn itself off and restart.
This stopped having regularly after I got the phone all setup, but then recently I noticed occasionally it will kinda of reset itself but not shutdown but it will bring up the option on the notification bar memory card to either explore or unmont and also i have to put my backup password into unlock the phone where normally i just used fingerprint scanner.
Im getting a new memory card shortly and read somewhere its a good idea to use the built in format option to format the new card when I put it in.
It seems to be a widely reported issue but it doesnt happen very often.
Any suggestions.
Thanks.
